	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2565, as amended, Swanson.  Schools:  
Pupils: campus clubs and booster organizations:  warning
posters. 
   Existing 
    (1)     Existing  law states the
intent of the Legislature that all California public schools, in
cooperation with local law enforcement agencies, community leaders,
parents, pupils, teachers, administrators, and other persons who may
be interested in the prevention of campus crime and violence, develop
a comprehensive school safety plan that addresses the safety
concerns identified through a systematic planning process and
requires a school to adopt a comprehensive school safety plan. 
   Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district
to authorize any organization composed entirely of pupils attending
the schools of the district to maintain activities that are approved
by the governing board. 
   This bill would  state the intent of the Legislature to
enact legislation that would  require schools to  
 encourage all campus clubs and booster organizations to 
create and display posters warning pupils of the range of
consequences  fo   for  engaging in
behavior that can result in detention by law enforcement.  This
requirement on schools 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, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .
