California Assembly Bill AB1880 Latest Draft

 BILL NUMBER: AB 1880AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 9, 2016 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Irwin FEBRUARY 10, 2016  An act to amend Section 35147 of the Education Code, relating to local educational agencies.   An act relating to state real property.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1880, as amended, Irwin.  Local educational agencies: parent advisory committees: meetings.   State real property: reversion.   Existing law requires the Department of General Services to provide planning, acquisition, construction, and maintenance of state buildings and property, and maintain a statewide property inventory of all real property held by the state.   This bill would authorize the Director of General Services to revert a specified parcel of state real property to the City of San Buenaventura pursuant to these provisions.   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of San Buenaventura.   Under existing law, the meetings of school district governing boards are subject to the provisions of the Ralph M. Brown Act, which generally requires that the meetings of the governing boards of local agencies be open to the public with proper notice given, permit the recording of those meetings, prohibit legislative bodies from taking action by secret ballot and set forth other specific requirements for the conduct of those meetings. Existing law exempts the meetings of specified schoolsite councils and committees from the Ralph M. Brown Act and the Bagley-Keen Open Meeting Act, but still requires properly noticed public meetings with posted agendas.   This bill would delete obsolete statutory references from this provision and would correct references to certain parent advisory committees that fall within this exemption. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no.

SEC. 2.   The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the requirements to build a veterans' home on said parcel of land, as contained in the grant deed recorded in the County of Ventura as instrument number 20040802-0211869, the fact that the State of California has no plans to build a veterans' home on said parcel of land, and that the City of San Buenaventura wants to explore constructing veterans' housing on that parcel of land at the earliest opportunity.   SECTION 1.   Section 35147 of the Education Code is amended to read: 35147. (a) Except as specified in this section, any meeting of the councils or committees specified in subdivision (b) is exempt from the provisions of this article, the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code), and the Ralph M.

(b) The councils and schoolsite advisory committees established pursuant to Sections 52063, 52069, 52176, and 52852, subdivision (b) of Section 54425, Sections 54444.2 and 62002.5, and committees formed pursuant to Section 11503, are subject to this section.

The notice shall specify the date, time, and location of the meeting, and contain an agenda describing each item of business to be discussed or acted upon. The council or committee may not take any action on any item of business unless that item appeared on the posted agenda or unless the council or committee members present, by unanimous vote, find that there is a need to take immediate action and that the need for action came to the attention of the council or committee subsequent to the posting of the agenda. (2) Questions or brief statements made at a meeting by members of the council, committee, or public that do not have a significant effect on pupils or employees in the school or school district, or that can be resolved solely by the provision of information, need not be described on an agenda as items of business. If a council or committee violates the procedural meeting requirements of this section, and upon the demand of any person, the council or committee shall reconsider the item at its next meeting, after allowing for public input on the item. (d) Any materials provided to a schoolsite council shall be made available to any member of the public who requests the materials pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 6250) of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code).
