	BILL TEXT

	AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY  JANUARY 4, 2012

INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Davis

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act  to amend Section 29064 of the Government Code, 
relating to  pupil safety   counties  .


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1253, as amended, Davis.  Pupil safety: bullying.
  Counties: recommended budget.  
   Existing law requires the board of supervisors of a county to
consider and approve a recommended budget, including any necessary
revisions to the recommended budget, on or before June 30 of each
year. Existing law requires the board of supervisors to conduct a
public hearing on the recommended budget, and to adopt a budget on or
before October 2 of each year.  
   This bill would authorize the board to make revisions to the
recommended budget until the board adopts a budget. The bill would
require any revision to the recommended budget after the start of the
public hearing to be made only if the revision is proposed in
writing, and submitted to the clerk of the board prior to the close
of the public hearing, or to be adopted by a vote of 4/5 of the
board.  
   Existing law, the Interagency School Safety Demonstration Act of
1985, defines bullying as one or more acts of sexual harassment, hate
violence, or intentional harassment, threats, or intimidation,
directed against school district personnel or pupils, committed by a
pupil or group of pupils. Under existing law, bullying, including
bullying committed by means of an electronic act, as defined, is a
ground on which suspension or expulsion may be based. 

   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would make it easier for pupils and their parents or
guardians to report incidents of bullying. 
   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 29064 of the 
   Government Code   is amended to read: 
   29064.   (a)    On or before June 30 of each
year the board, by formal action, shall approve the recommended
budget, including the revisions it deems necessary for the purpose of
having authority to spend until the budget is adopted. 
   (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the board may make
revisions to the recommended budget until the budget is adopted
pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 29080).  
   (2) A revision to the recommended budget after the start of the
public hearing held pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section
29080) shall be made only if the revision is proposed in writing and
filed with the clerk of the board prior to the close of the public
hearing, or approved by a four-fifths vote of the board after the
close of the hearing.  
  SECTION 1.    It is the intent of the Legislature
to enact legislation that would make it easier for pupils and their
parents or guardians to report incidents of bullying.
