BILL NUMBER: AB 1830 CHAPTERED 07/03/00 CHAPTER 65 FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE JULY 3, 2000 APPROVED BY GOVERNOR JULY 3, 2000 PASSED THE SENATE JUNE 22, 2000 PASSED THE ASSEMBLY MARCH 30, 2000 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Wildman FEBRUARY 3, 2000 An act to add and repeal Section 17293.5 of the Education Code, relating to teen parenting education programs, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1830, Wildman. Pregnant and parenting teen education programs: leased buildings. Existing law requires the Department of General Services to supervise the design, construction, reconstruction, or alteration of, or addition to, a school building to ensure compliance with certain rules, regulations, and building standards. Existing law requires a school district to provide for an examination of any school building that was not constructed under those terms. This bill would exempt from those provisions, until January 1, 2002, a building leased by a school district on a temporary basis for the purposes of housing a pregnant and parenting teen education program. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 17293.5 is added to the Education Code, to read: 17293.5. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a school district leases a building on a temporary basis for the purposes of housing a pregnant and parenting teen education program, the building shall be exempt from this article and Article 6 (commencing with Section 17365). (b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2002, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2002, deletes or extends that date. 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 allow school districts to continue offering pregnant and parenting teen education programs in buildings leased on a temporary basis, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
