	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 405, as amended, Solorio. Public postsecondary education:
joint-use facilities. 
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, which
are administered by the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges.  
   Existing law provides that a community college district may enter
into a lease or agreement with a city, county, or city and county for
the joint occupancy, or a private education institution for its sole
occupancy, of the real property and buildings of the district, as
specified. 
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
establishes a program for allocation by the State Allocation Board of
state per-pupil funding to school districts for new construction and
modernization of school facilities, including joint use-projects to
construct facilities on kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive,
schoolsites. 
   This bill would authorize a school district to enter into a joint
use project with a community college district, as specified. 

   This bill would require the board of governors, upon funding being
made available, to establish and govern the California Community
College Joint Use Program, to support the creation of joint use
facilities on community college campuses. The program would be
required to be in alignment with established facilities regulations
and exclusively for the creation of new or renovated facilities
governed by a joint use agreement between a community college
governing body and a 3rd-party public agency, as specified. 

   This bill, in addition, would authorize the board to fund
joint-use projects to construct facilities on community college
campuses. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   SECTION 1.    Section 81420 of the  
Education Code   is amended to read: 
   81420.  A community college district may enter into a lease or
agreement with a city, county,  school district,  or city
and county for the joint occupancy, or a private education
institution for its sole occupancy, of the real property and
buildings of the district, in accordance with the provisions of this
article.
   SEC. 2.    Section 81424 is added to the  
Education Code   , to read:  
   81424.  (1) The Board of Governors shall establish and govern the
California Community College Joint Use Program, to support the
creation of joint use facilities on community college campuses. The
program shall be in alignment with established facilities regulations
and shall be used exclusively for the creation of new or renovated
facilities, or both, governed by a joint use agreement between a
community college governing body and a third-party public agency, as
specified in this article.
   (2) The Board of Governors shall establish the program, upon the
availability of funding.  
  SECTION 1.    Section 17077.40 of the Education
Code is amended to read:
   17077.40.  (a) With funds made available for the purposes of this
article, the board may provide a grant to fund joint-use projects to
construct facilities on kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive,
schoolsites, or community college campuses.
   (b) A school district or community college district may apply to
the board for funding under this article for a project that meets any
of the following criteria:
   (1) The joint-use project is part of an application for new
construction funding under this chapter, and will increase the size
or extra cost associated with the joint use of the proposed
multipurpose room, gymnasium, child care facility, library, or
teacher education facility beyond that necessary for school use.
   (2) The joint-use project proposes to either reconfigure existing
school buildings or construct new school buildings, or both, to
provide for a multipurpose room, a gymnasium, a library, a child care
facility, or a teacher education facility and the project will be
located at a school that does not have the type of facility for which
funds are requested or the existing facility is inadequate.
   (3) The joint-use project proposes to either reconfigure existing
school buildings or construct new school buildings, or both, to
provide for facilities to improve pupil academic achievement, and the
plans for the facility were accepted for review and approval by the
department prior to January 1, 2004.
   (c) The board shall consult with the Board of Governors of the
California Community Colleges with respect to the application of this
section to the California Community Colleges.
