	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1914, Nakano.  California Civil Liberties Public Education Act.

   Existing law declares that it is the intent of the Legislature
that the sum of $1,000,000 be annually appropriated for 3 years from
the General Fund to the State Librarian to sponsor public educational
activities and the development of educational materials to ensure
that the events surrounding the exclusion, forced removal, and
internment of civilians and permanent resident aliens of Japanese
ancestry will be remembered, and so that the causes and circumstances
of this and similar events may be illuminated and understood.
   This bill would  extend this expression of the intent regarding
the annual appropriation up to, and including, the 2002-03 fiscal
year.  The bill would, subject to an appropriation therefor, require
the State Librarian to review and identify programs with similar
goals that may be combined with the project in the future and to
report to the Legislature, by November 1, 2004.

Fund to the State Librarian, for purposes of this chapter.
   (b) Subject to an appropriation in the annual Budget Act or other
measure for this purpose, the State Librarian shall review and
identify programs with similar goals that may be combined with this
project in the future.
   (c) Subject to an appropriation in the annual Budget Act or other
measure for this purpose, the State Librarian shall report to the
