Bill > SB1106

This bill modifies the process for adopting instructional materials for California schools, allowing for follow-up adoptions to occur more frequently than previously, specifically at least once but no more than twice every eight years, and introduces a fee system for publishers participating in these follow-up adoptions. The State Department of Education will notify publishers about upcoming follow-up adoptions and assess a fee based on the number of programs and grade levels submitted, which is intended to cover the costs of the review process while remaining modest and allowing for fee reductions for small publishers. The bill also amends existing law to remove provisions related to mobilehome parks and associated civil penalties, which were part of the original legislative text but are not part of the current proposed changes.
