	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 133, as amended, Hagman. Instructional materials: digital
format.
   Existing law requires the State Board of Education and the
governing board of each school district maintaining one or more high
schools to adopt instructional materials for use in kindergarten and
grades 1 to 8, inclusive, and high schools, respectively. Existing
law places specified requirements on a publisher or manufacturer of
instructional materials offered for adoption. Existing law, until
July 1, 2015, exempts school districts from requirements to provide
pupils with instructional materials by a specified time period
following adoption of those materials by the state board.
   This bill would require a publisher or manufacturer 
submitting   that submits  a printed instructional
material for adoption by the state board or the governing board of a
school district  , on or after January 1, 2014,  to ensure
that the printed instructional material is also available in an
equivalent digital format during the entire term of the adoption.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
