INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Wilk

                        JANUARY 18, 2013

   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" 
means   is defined to mean  technology-based
materials, equipment, systems, and networks.
