INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bonilla

                        DECEMBER 15, 2014

   An act to add Section 35294.16 to the Education Code and to add
Section 5164 to the Vehicle Code, relating to school safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 63, as introduced, Bonilla. School safety programs: funding.
   The School Safety Violence Protection Act establishes the School
Safety and Violence Prevention Strategy Program, which is
administered by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, for the
purpose of providing grant funding to schools and school districts to
promote school safety and violence prevention programs among
children and youth in the public schools.
   This bill would authorize the Superintendent to consult with the
Board of State and Community Corrections, the State Department of
Social Services, and the State Department of Public Health on school
violence prevention and intervention in order to carry out one or
more of the purposes of the programs established under the School
Safety and Violence Prevention Strategy Program.
   Existing law authorizes a state agency to apply to the Department
of Motor Vehicles to sponsor a specialized license plate program, and
requires the department to issue specialized license plates for that
program, if the state agency complies with specified requirements.
   The bill would require the State Department of Education to apply
to the Department of Motor Vehicles for the purpose of creating a
specialized license plate program. The bill would require that the
fees collected from the sale of the specialized license plates be
deposited in the School Violence Prevention Fund, which the bill
would establish, and, upon appropriation by the Legislature, be
allocated to the State Department of Education in order to carry out
one or more of the purposes of the programs established under the
School Safety and Violence Prevention Strategy Program.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
