This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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

(1) Existing law requires the governing board of each school district or community college district in which trustee areas have been established, and in which each trustee is elected by the residents of the area the trustee represents, to adjust the trustee area boundaries following the decennial census. This bill would require the governing board of a community college district to make a proposed boundary adjustment public, and to elicit and consider public comment prior to a proposal's adoption, as prescribed, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law requires members of the governing board of the Los Angeles Community College District to be elected at large in odd-numbered years in a specified manner, except as specified commencing with the 2013 election. This bill, instead, would require the Board of Trustees of the Los Angeles Community College District to establish 7 trustee areas in the district by July 1, 2014, and would require members of the board of trustees to be elected by trustee area, as specified. By increasing the responsibilities of the county and the community college district when they conduct elections, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Los Angeles Community College District. (4) 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 these statutory provisions.
