Existing law provides various exceptions to this requirement. This bill would state the Legislature's intent to enact legislation relating to intradistrict school transfers. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. It is the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to intradistrict school transfers.
