Bill > AB384

This bill requires the California State Department of Education to conduct a research study on recommended indoor air temperature ranges and temperature control standards for public schools serving kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as an inventory of heating and cooling systems across a representative sample of local educational agencies. The department must submit a report on the findings and recommendations of this study to the Legislature by January 1, 2026. The bill also requires the department to develop and submit policy recommendations for safe indoor air temperature standards and how to ensure public school facilities can maintain the recommended safe temperature range, considering state climate goals, the Extreme Heat Plan, and various technical and cost factors. These policy recommendations must be submitted to the Legislature by January 1, 2027. The provisions of this bill are repealed on January 1, 2028.
