	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 946, Washington.   School nutrition.
   Existing law prohibits any allocation or reimbursement of funds
from being made for school breakfast and lunch programs to any public
or private nonprofit school or agency on behalf of any child who
resides on the premises of the school or agency.
   This bill would, notwithstanding that provision, require an
allocation to be made for a ward or dependent of the court who
resides in a probation camp, ranch, juvenile hall, or county operated
children's emergency shelter.  The bill would require the State
Department of Education to make an allocation for these purposes from
funds appropriated to the department for the 1999-2000 fiscal year
to a county probation department or welfare agency commencing on July
1, 1999.  By changing the purpose for which an existing
appropriation is made, the bill would make an appropriation.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 49494 is added to the Education Code, to read:

   49494.  Notwithstanding Section 49493, an allocation shall be made
pursuant to this article for a ward or dependent of the court who
resides in a probation camp, ranch, juvenile hall, or county operated
children's emergency shelter.  The department shall make an
allocation for these purposes to a county probation department and
welfare agency from funds appropriated to the department for the
1999-2000 fiscal year by crediting the county probation department or
welfare agency commencing on July 1, 1999.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to authorize school nutrition funds for children under
residential care and reimburse county probation departments and
welfare agencies for school nutrition expenses as soon as possible,
it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
