	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 600, as introduced, Alejo. State Board of Education: powers and
duties
   Existing law establishes the State Board of Education to adopt
policies, and to establish rules and regulations, not inconsistent
with the laws of the state, to govern the public elementary and
secondary schools of the state. Existing law requires the board to
issue a subpoena to compel the attendance of a witness before the
board, or a board member, in the same manner as a court in this
state. Existing law requires the president of the board to cause the
attendance of a witness to testify before the board, or a board
member, where the testimony of the witness is material to a matter
pending before the board. The board is authorized to make a
reasonable allowance for this purpose, not exceeding the fee of a
witness in a civil case, except under specified circumstances. The
allowance is required to be paid out of the appropriation for the
expense of the board.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
