INTRODUCED BY   Senator Beall

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2014

   An act to amend Section 35292.5 of the Education Code, relating to
school maintenance.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1067, as introduced, Beall. School maintenance: restrooms.
   Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires every public and
private school, as provided, to have restroom facilities that are
open as prescribed during school hours, and at all times to keep
every restroom maintained and cleaned regularly, fully operational,
and stocked with soap and paper supplies.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that law and delete
obsolete cross-references.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
