	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2880, Calderon.   School finance:  deficit reduction.
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction,
for the 2000-01 fiscal year, to certify to the Controller amounts
that do not exceed the amounts needed to fund the revenue limits of
school districts and county superintendents of schools and to adjust
those amounts by a deficit factor.
   This bill would specify that this requirement applies to the
2000-01 fiscal year and every fiscal year thereafter and would delete
the requirement that the revenue limits be adjusted by a deficit
factor.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

amounts that do not exceed the amounts needed to fund the revenue
limits of school districts, as determined pursuant to Section 42238
of the Education Code, and the revenue limits of county
superintendents of schools as determined pursuant to Section 2558 of
the Education Code , and the revenue limit portion of charter school
operational funding as determined pursuant to Section 47633 of the
Education Code.
  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

public schools, it is necessary that this act take effect
immediately.
