INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Morrell

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to amend Section 47610 of the Education Code, relating to
charter schools.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1146, as introduced, Morrell. Charter schools.
   The Charter Schools Act of 1992 permits teachers and parents to
petition the governing board of a school district to approve a
charter school to operate independently from the existing school
district structure as a method of accomplishing, among other things,
improved pupil learning. Existing law exempts charter schools from
the laws governing school districts except those of the Charter
Schools Act, those establishing minimum age for public school
attendance, specified building code regulations, and other specified
laws.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
