INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bonilla

                        DECEMBER 15, 2014

   An act to add Section 35294.16 to the Education Code and to add
Section 5167 to the Vehicle Code, relating to school safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 63, as amended, 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.
   This 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   require the Department of Motor Vehicles, after
deducting its administrative costs, to deposit  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, or as
determined by the State Department of Education for purposes of
school violence prevention. The bill would require moneys allocated
from the fund to the State Department of Education to be available
for both charter and noncharter public schools.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
