	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 305, as introduced, Corbett. School facilities: construction:
seismic mitigation.
   Existing law requires the Department of General Services, in
consultation with the Seismic Safety Commission, to conduct an
inventory of public school buildings that are concrete tilt-up school
buildings and school buildings with nonwood frame walls that do not
meet specified standards. The Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2006 makes available up to $199.5
million dollars for the purposes of seismic repair, reconstruction,
or replacement pursuant to the Hardship Assistance Program of the
Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would modify the standards used to identify school
districts that are eligible to receive hardship assistance that is
made available by the Kindergarten-University Public Education
Facilities Bond Act of 2006 for the purposes of seismic repair,
reconstruction, or replacement of school buildings.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
