	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 41, as introduced, Buchanan. Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2014.
   The California Constitution prohibits the Legislature from
creating a debt or liability that singly or in the aggregate with any
previous debts or liabilities exceeds the sum of $300,000, except by
an act that (1) authorizes the debt for a single object or work
specified in the act, (2) has been passed by a 2/3 vote of all the
Members elected to each house of the Legislature, (3) has been
submitted to the people at a statewide general or primary election,
and (4) has received a majority of all the votes cast for and against
it at that election.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would create the Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2014, a state general obligation
bond act that would provide funds to construct and modernize
education facilities, to become operative only if approved by the
voters at the next statewide general election, and to provide for the
submission of the bond act to the voters at that election.
   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 that would create the Kindergarten-University Public
Education Facilities Bond Act of 2014, to become operative only if

provide for the submission of the bond act to the voters at that
election. It is also the intent of the Legislature that the bond act,
if approved by the voters at that election, would provide for the
issuance of ____ ($____) of state general obligation bonds to provide
aid to school districts, county superintendents of schools, county
boards of education, the California Community Colleges, the
California State University, and the University of California,
including the Hastings College of the Law, to construct and modernize
