§ 100827 School Building Finance Committee

This law keeps a special group of state leaders in place to help decide how school buildings get money, and it tells who can be on the group and what they do.

Key Takeaways

  • •The committee stays alive for this chapter and is made up of the Governor, Controller, Treasurer, Director of Finance, and Superintendent of Public Instruction (or their reps).
  • •All members work for free and a majority is needed to make decisions.
  • •The Treasurer is the chairperson, and two Senate members plus two Assembly members can give advice as long as it doesn’t clash with their lawmaking jobs.
  • •The Director of Finance helps the committee when needed, and the Attorney General is the legal adviser.

Example

The state wants to build a new high school. The finance committee meets, the Treasurer leads the meeting, and the Governor, Controller, Treasurer, Director of Finance, and Superintendent (or their helpers) discuss how to pay for it.

The committee, made up of those top officials, talks about the money plan without getting paid, and they can get advice from two Senate members and two Assembly members. The Attorney General makes sure everything follows the law.
