This bill died with 2011-2012 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.
This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.
Summary
Under the California Constitution, whenever the Legislature or a state agency mandates a new program or higher level of service on any local government, including school districts, the state is required to provide a subvention of funds to reimburse the local government, with specified exceptions. Existing law establishes a test claim procedure for local governmental agencies to file claims for reimbursement of these costs with the Commission on State Mandates. This bill would revise these provisions to require the commission to adopt procedures for receiving test claims from school districts that eliminate specified existing requirements. The bill would require the commission to create a school district test claim advisory committee, with a prescribed membership, for the purpose of consulting with commission staff regarding specified information relating to a school district test claim. The bill would require the commission staff to prepare an analysis of the test claim and a proposed statement of decision for consideration by the commission, as specified. The bill would also require the advisory committee to prepare and submit the parameters and guidelines for an approved test claim to the commission for approval on behalf of a school district claimant, as specified.
