AB 148, as introduced, Holden. School facilities: general
obligation bond measure.
Existing law, the California Constitution, prohibits the
Legislature from creating a debt or liability that singly or in the
aggregate with any previous debts or liabilities exceeds the sum of
$300,000, except by an act that (1) authorizes the debt for a single
object or work specified in the act, (2) has been passed by a 2/3
vote of all the members elected to each house of the Legislature, (3)
has been submitted to the people at a statewide general or primary
election, and (4) has received a majority of all the votes cast for
and against it at that election.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to submit a general obligation bond measure to the voters
during the 2016 calendar year to fund the modernization and
construction of school facilities.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
