LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law provides that the governing board of any school district having jurisdiction over any elementary, intermediate, or junior high school may provide time and facilities to any local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the schools of the district, for bicycle safety instruction.

This bill would instead authorize the governing board of any school district having jurisdiction over any elementary, intermediate, junior high, or high school to provide time and facilities to any local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction over the schools of the district, for bicycle, scooter, electric bicycle, motorized bicycle, or motorized scooter safety instruction. The bill would also authorize the governing board to provide time and facilities to other specified organizations or public agencies that provide bicycle, scooter, electric bicycle, motorized bicycle, or motorized scooter safety instruction, for safety instruction.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.
