INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Campos

                        FEBRUARY 20, 2013

   An act to add Section 35013 to the Education Code, relating to
school districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 622, as introduced, Campos. School districts: charter school
petitions: Internet posting.
   Existing law authorizes one or more persons to circulate a
petition for the establishment of a charter school within a school
district, and authorizes the petitioners to submit the petition to
the governing board of the school district for review and approval,
as provided.
   This bill would require a school district to post on its Internet
Web site this petition. By requiring a new duty on a school district,
this bill would impose a state-mandated program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

petition for the establishment of a charter school that is submitted
to the school district for approval pursuant to Section 47605.
  SEC. 2.  If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant

the Government Code.
