   An act to amend Section 17075.50 of the Education Code, relating
to school facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2522, as introduced, Jones-Sawyer. School facilities: security
locks.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 (
Greene Act), requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to
applicant school districts prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state
funding for construction and modernization of school facilities,
including hardship funding and supplemental funding for site
development and acquisition. Existing law also requires all new
construction projects submitted to the Division of the State
Architect pursuant to the Greene Act to include locks that allow
doors to classrooms and any room with an occupancy of 5 or more
persons to be locked from the inside, except as specified.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
