CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20172018 REGULAR SESSION Assembly Bill No. 2584Introduced by Assembly Member Travis AllenFebruary 15, 2018 An act to amend Section 35786 of the Education Code, relating to school districts. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 2584, as introduced, Travis Allen. School districts: reorganization: lapsation.Existing law provides that a school district that has been organized for more than 3 years shall be lapsed, as defined, if certain conditions occur. Within 45 days before the close of each school year, existing law requires the county committee on school district reorganization to conduct a public hearing to determine if those conditions have been met. After the hearing, and at least 30 days before the end of the school year, the county committee is required to order the territory annexed to one or more adjoining districts, as specified. Existing law requires local entities to take specified actions when there is a change in boundaries of a district, as provided. Existing law requires compliance with this provision relating to required specified actions by December 1 of the year in which the order is made.This bill would instead require compliance with the provision relating to required specified actions by November 1 of the year in which the order is made. To the extent this change would impose a higher level of service on local officials, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
