Bill > AB296

This bill requires the State Department of Education to create and manage an online registry for career technical education equipment that local educational agencies, such as school districts and charter schools, wish to sell, making this registry accessible to other local educational agencies for at least three months to facilitate inter-agency purchases. Additionally, the bill mandates that schools and school districts host at least one apprenticeship fair each school year, and if they require community service for graduation, students will receive one hour of credit for attending a college, career, or apprenticeship fair. These provisions are set to expire on January 1, 2032, and the bill also includes language to ensure that any state-mandated costs incurred by local agencies are reimbursed.
