	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 600, as introduced, Swanson. Oakland Unified School District:
audits.
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
assume all the rights, duties, and powers of the governing board of
the Oakland Unified School District and to appoint an administrator
to act on behalf of the Superintendent in exercising the
Superintendent's authority over the school district. Existing law
requires the Controller, or his or her designee, to cause an audit to
be conducted of the books and accounts of the school district for
the fiscal years in which emergency loan moneys are disbursed to the
school district. Existing law provides that at the discretion of the
Controller, the audit may be conducted by the Controller, his or her
designee, or an auditor selected by the county superintendent and
approved by the Controller.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would realign the audit penalties and fines assessed
on the Oakland Unified School District and authorize the school
district to retain an independent audit firm to conduct the school
district's annual audit.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would realign the audit penalties and fines assessed

district to retain an independent audit firm to conduct the school
district's annual audit.
