School facilities: Civic Center Act: direct costs.

Added Chapter 156 designation and the standard 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header used in chaptered bills.

Added the governor approval line: 'Approved by Governor October 1, 2025. Filed with Secretary of State October 1, 2025.'

Removed the Assembly and Senate passage headers, clerk signatures, and blank date/time fields for gubernatorial receipt, which are replaced by the chaptered format.

Page numbering changed from bill-specific pagination (e.g., 'AB 503 -2-') to chapter-based pagination (e.g., 'Ch. 156 -2-'), and line breaks were reflowed throughout the statutory text without altering its content.

The definition of 'direct costs' was restructured. The introduced version contained two definitions: a simple one stating direct costs 'means the costs of supplies, utilities, janitorial services, services of school district employees, and salaries paid to school district employees directly associated with the administration of this section,' and a more detailed proportional-share version. The amendment removes the simple definition, leaving only the proportional-share framework that limits charges to the entity's proportional use of facilities.

The provision stating 'This section is operative on and after January 1, 2025' was removed. Without this date restriction, the bill takes effect immediately upon enactment as an urgency statute rather than being tied to a specific calendar date.

The fiscal committee note was changed from 'Fiscal committee: yes' to 'Fiscal committee: yes no,' which appears to be a drafting error in the amendment.

Removed the deadline (December 31, 2025) requiring the Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop and the State Board of Education to adopt regulations specifying how school districts determine the proportionate share and specific allowable costs that may be included as direct costs for use of school facilities or grounds. Without this regulatory guidance requirement, school districts will lack a state-adopted formula for calculating these cost shares.
