clean-up bill and a higher education clean-up bill that make
various non-controversial revisions to the EC. A majority of
the provisions for the K-12 education clean-up bill are
identified by the California Department of Education and propose
technical corrections to existing law, such as deleting an
obsolete reporting requirement for a program.
This bill makes technical and non-controversial revisions to the
EC. Specifically, this bill:
1)Corrects references to non-existent code sections and makes
technical changes to provisions related to school district
reorganization. (Sections 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 16, 17)
2)Clarifies that the three schoolsite representatives of the
K-12 High Speed Network advisory board serve a renewable
two-year term, consistent with the terms of the other advisory
board members. (Section 3)
3)Removes obsolete references regarding the State School
Deferred Maintenance Program, whose funding was removed with
the establishment of the Local Control Funding Formula.
(Sections 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
4)Eliminates various reporting requirements and program
evaluations that no longer exist, including reporting
requirements for the following programs:
a) Compton Unified School District extended year program.
b) Bilingual education programs.
c) State Bilingual Teacher Training Assistance Program.
d) Programs funded using Economic Impact Aid. (Sections
18, 19, 21, 22, 23)
5)Corrects a drafting error in AB 1584 (Buchanan, Chapter 800,
Statutes of 2014), by inserting a comma that was left out in
EC Section 49073.1(d)(5)(B)(i), after "educational products."
(Section 20)
6)Replaces outdated references to the Standardized Testing and
Reporting Program with the California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress System of assessments. (Sections 26
SB 436
Page 3
and 29)
7)Corrects code section references in provisions related to
services for individuals with exceptional needs. (Sections
24, 25, 26. 27, 28)

proposes technical, non-controversial amendments to existing
law. By tradition, if any affected agency, the Department of
Finance, or any of the four legislative caucuses objects to a
provision in the bill or one that is being considered, that
particular provision cannot be included.
