*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016
Bill
Summary: This bill re-establishes a fee supported process for
the follow up adoption of instructional materials, with a sunset
January 1, 2024.
Fiscal
Impact:
This bill will likely not result in significant costs to the
state. It expands the authority of the California Department
of Education (CDE) to conduct one follow up instructional
material adoption in a subject area if necessary, in addition
to the primary adoptions that are supposed to occur every

eight years. It allows a fee to be assessed to publishers who
submit materials to offset the cost of the follow up adoption
and prohibits the use of General Fund to support these
adoptions. To the extent CDE determines that there is
insufficient interest by publishers and manufacturers in
participating in the adoption, the CDE will recommend to the
State Board of Education not to conduct the adoption.
Minor costs to the CDE to recommend to the State Board of
Education that a follow up adoption not be conducted.
Author
Amendments: Prohibits the use of General Fund to support the
cost of conducting a follow up instructional materials adoption.
