Education finance: federal tax credit bond volume cap.

Existing federal law authorizes the Internal Revenue Service to publish the maximum face value amount of qualified school construction bonds, as defined, that may be allocated by the United States Department of the Treasury to each state pursuant to the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This bill would assign specified amounts of the state's 2009 federal tax credit bond volume cap to the State Department of Education and the California School Finance Authority, to be assigned and distributed to school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools, as specified. The bill would exempt the assignment and distribution of the federal tax credit bond volume cap under the bill from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
