CHAPTER 251, STATUTES OF 1982, AB 1729
Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.
Numerous Education Code sections were affected in 1982 following legislative enactment of Assembly Bill 1729. (See Exhibit #1d) Assembly member John Vasconcellos introduced the bill on March 26, 1981 on behalf of the California Community Colleges. (See Exhibits #1a and #7)
Assembly Bill 1729 was assigned to the Assembly Committee on Education and the Senate Committee on Education where policy issues raised by the bill were considered. (See Exhibits #3 and #4) The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance. (See Exhibit #2) Two amendments were made to Assembly Bill 1729. (See Exhibits #1b, #1c and #2) Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr., signed the bill on June 11, 1982, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State as Chapter 251 of the Statutes of 1982. (See Exhibits #1d and #2)
An Enrolled Bill Memorandum to the Governor dated June 9, 1982 set forth as follows the law prior to passage of Assembly Bill 1729 and what this bill sought to accomplish:
The Education Code presently contains many provisions enacted prior and subsequent to the operative date of the permissive Education Code which specifically prescribe the authority of any school district or community college district to act in initiating and carrying on programs or activities or taking other actions.
This bill would delete many such prescriptive provisions thereby permitting governing boards to exercise authority with respect to the matters affected. This bill would also make other technical revisions in the law.
