AB 787, as introduced, Roger Hernández. Charter schools: operation: nonprofit public benefit corporations.
The Charter Schools Act of 1992 specifies the procedures for the submission, review, and approval or denial of a petition to establish a charter school. Existing law provides that a charter school may elect to operate as, or be operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation, formed and organized pursuant to the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision authorizing a charter school to elect to operate as, or be operated by, a nonprofit public benefit corporation.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
