SB 1067, as introduced, Beall. School maintenance: restrooms.
Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires every public and private school, as provided, to have restroom facilities that are open as prescribed during school hours, and at all times to keep every restroom maintained and cleaned regularly, fully operational, and stocked with soap and paper supplies.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that law and delete obsolete cross-references.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
