	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1174, as amended, Furutani. School safety: willful disturbance
of public  schools activities   schools and
public school meetings  .
   (1) Existing law provides that any person who willfully disturbs
any public school or any public school meeting is guilty of a
misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than $500.
   This bill would additionally provide that a person who willfully
disturbs  any   a  public school 
activity, as defined to include, but not necessarily be limited to,
the arrival and departure of pupils to and from public school grounds
during school hours as defined,   or a public school
meeting by creating a disruption that threatens the physical safety
of school children   coming to, leaving, or attending school
 is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more
than $500. Because this bill would expand the scope of an existing
crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse
local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
