	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1372, as introduced, Holden. School facilities: funding.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998
(the Greene Act), requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to
applicant school districts prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state
funding for construction and modernization of school facilities,
including hardship funding, and supplemental funding for site
development and acquisition, and requires the board to adopt rules
and regulations for the administration of the Greene Act.
   Existing law, the Field Act, generally requires the Department of
General Services to supervise the design and construction of, the
reconstruction or alteration of, or the addition to, a school
building to ensure, among other things, that plans and specifications
comply with adopted rules and regulations and building standards.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to adopt a long-term funding solution to ensure
California meets its obligation to provide adequate funding to school
districts for facility construction and maintenance.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
