	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 443, as introduced, Bonilla. Education programs: California
Summer Science and Technology Academy.
   Existing law establishes the California Summer Science and

legislative intent.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
