LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2522, as introduced, Jones-Sawyer. School facilities: security locks.

Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 ( Greene Act), requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to applicant school districts prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state funding for construction and modernization of school facilities, including hardship funding and supplemental funding for site development and acquisition. Existing law also requires all new construction projects submitted to the Division of the State Architect pursuant to the Greene Act to include locks that allow doors to classrooms and any room with an occupancy of 5 or more persons to be locked from the inside, except as specified.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
