	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 121, as introduced, Fuller. School facilities: schoolsites on
military bases.
   Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and
secondary schools in this state, and provides for the funding of the
construction of new school facilities and the modernization of
existing facilities. Existing law requires the State Allocation Board
to apportion certain state funds to eligible school districts for
school facilities. Existing federal law provides for construction
funding assistance for schoolsites that are located on United States
military bases and that meet specified criteria.
   This bill would require the State Allocation Board to give
priority to applications for certain state funds for projects on or
near military installations that are eligible for specified federal
school construction grants.
   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 17070.72 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   17070.72.  Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 17070.70 and
Section 17070.71, the board shall give priority to applications for
funding under this chapter for projects on or near military
installations that are eligible for United States Department of
Defense Office of Economic Adjustment school construction grants.
