 BILL NUMBER: AB 2560INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Brownley FEBRUARY 19, 2010 An act to amend Section 17074.26 of the Education Code, relating to school facilities. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2560, as introduced, Brownley. School facilities: construction: modernization. Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, 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 requires the board to adopt regulations to adjust the per-pupil amounts for modernization projects for school buildings that are 50 years old or older based on the higher costs associated with modernizing older buildings. This bill would correct an erroneous cross-reference in the provision requiring the board to adopt regulations adjusting the grant amounts for older buildings. 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. Section 17074.26 of the Education Code is amended to read: 17074.26. The board shall adopt regulations to adjust the per-pupil amounts set forth in Section  17074.14   17074.10  for modernization projects for school buildings that are 50 years old or older based upon the higher costs associated with modernizing older buildings.
