	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Nguyen

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2016

   An act to amend Section 17079 of the Education Code, relating to
school facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1388, as introduced, Nguyen. School facilities: overcrowding
relief grants.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
establishes a program in which the State Allocation Board is required
to provide state per-pupil funding, including overcrowding relief
grants, for new school facilities construction and school facilities
modernization for applicant school districts. For purposes of
overcrowding relief grants, existing law provides that an eligible
school is a school for which the schoolsite pupil population density
is equal to or greater than 175% of the schoolsite pupil population
density recommended by the Superintendent of Public Instruction as of
January 1, 2006, adjusted as specified.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that latter
provision.
   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 17079 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   17079.  (a) For purposes of this article, an eligible school is a
school for which the schoolsite pupil population density is equal to
or greater than 175 percent of the schoolsite pupil population
density recommended by the Superintendent as of January 1, 2006,
adjusted by the following factors:
   (1) The density calculation shall be reduced to take into account
the additional pupil capacity created by multistory construction.
   (2) The schoolsite pupil population density shall be reduced to
take into account approved new construction projects, including
projects approved pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with Section
17078.10).
   (b) The board shall adopt regulations to determine the adjustments
 set forth   specified  in paragraphs (1)
and (2) of subdivision (a).
