What is CA AB 2316 about?

The Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 provides for the adoption of rules, regulations, and procedures, under the administration of the Director of General Services, for the allocation of state funds by the State Allocation Board for the construction and modernization of public school facilities. Existing law establishes the Charter Schools Facilities Program within the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 to provide funding to qualifying entities for the purpose of establishing school facilities for charter school pupils. Existing law requires that a 50% matching share be provided by charter schools applying for facilities funding under the program. Existing law requires the California School Finance Authority, in consultation with the board, to adopt regulations for the program, including, among other regulations, the process for determining the manner in which the applicant will pay its local matching share, including the method for determining lease payments to be made in lieu of the local matching share. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2028, for filing rounds opened on or after January 1, 2028, if the 50% local share matching obligation or lease payments would result in the applicant charter school suffering an undue financial burden, as provided, require the authority to notify the board and authorize the board to reduce the 50% local share matching obligation or lease payments, and correspondingly increase the grant amount, as necessary for the school to reach a reasonable level of debt service. The bill would require the authority, in consultation with the board, to adopt regulations for that purpose and would require the authority and the board to adopt the method for determining whether the 50% local share matching obligation or lease payments would result in the charter school suffering an undue financial burden, in consultation with the Department of General Services and the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team. The bill would also make conforming changes.
