Assembly Bill No. 144

Introduced by Assembly Member Wilk

An act to amend Section 51870 of the Education Code, relating to education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 144, as introduced, Wilk. Education: authorized classes and courses of instruction: technology.

Existing law requires the State Department of Education to administer the California Technology Assistance Project to provide a regionalized network of technical assistance to schools and school districts on the implementation of education technology as set forth in the policies of the State Board of Education. Existing law, for purposes of the above provisions, defines “technology” to mean technology-based materials, equipment, systems, and networks.

This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change in that definition.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.  

Section 51870 of the Education Code is amended
to read:

51870.  

For the purposes of this article, “technology” begin delete means end delete begin insert is end insert
begin insert defined to mean end insert technology-based materials, equipment, systems,
and networks.
