Frequently asked questions

What does AB 2162 do?

Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease-Purchase Law of 1976, effectuates the declaration of the Legislature that it is in the interest of the state and its people to reconstruct, remodel, or replace existing school buildings that are educationally inadequate or that do not meet present-day structural safety requirements, and to acquire new schoolsites and buildings for the purpose of making them available to local school districts for the pupils of the public school system. "Good repair" is defined, for purposes of the Leroy F. Greene State School Building Lease-Purchase Law of 1976, to mean, among other things, that a facility is maintained in a manner that ensures that it is clean, safe, and functional, as specified. "Good repair" is also defined, with respect to mechanical systems, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, for these purposes as being functional and unobstructed, appearing to supply an adequate amount of air to all classrooms, work spaces, and facilities, and maintaining interior temperatures within normally acceptable ranges. "Good repair," as defined in this provision, also applies to, among other provisions, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, the uniform complaint process relating to school districts, and the development of local control and accountability plans. This bill would add that, with respect to mechanical systems, "good repair" also means that the ventilation rate of every mechanical ventilation system used to prevent harmful exposure is tested after initial installation, alterations, or maintenance, and at least annually, by means of a pitot traverse of the exhaust duct or equivalent measurements, and that records of these tests are maintained for at least 5 years.
