Existing law, until funding was repealed, authorized the Department of Housing and Community Development to use moneys from a specified fund for the purpose of making subordinated loans to certain entities for the purchase, development, construction, expansion, or improvement of licensed child care and development facilities. Similarly, until that funding was repealed, the department was required to adopt regulations to implement a microenterprise loan program where loans were available from that fund to local microenterprise loan funds and other lenders who are authorized to relend the moneys to eligible small and large family day care providers, and licensed child care and development facilities that serve up to 35 children. This bill would authorize the department, upon the request of the borrower, to modify the terms of a loan made pursuant to the authorizations described above if the department determines that the borrower has demonstrated hardship, subject to compliance with specified requirements.
Existing law authorizes the county superintendent of schools of each county, with the consent of the State Board of Education, to establish and maintain a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, in the county to provide education and training in career technical courses. Existing law also authorizes the governing boards of any school district maintaining high schools in the county, with the consent of the state board and county superintendent of schools, to cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program, except as specified, and authorizes the establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program by 2 or more school districts to be undertaken pursuant to a joint powers agreement. Existing law requires that, for the 2013–14 and 2014–15 fiscal years only, of the funds a school district, county office of education, or joint powers agency receives for purposes of regional occupational centers or programs, the school district, county office of education, or joint powers agency expend no less than the amount of funds the school district, county office of education, or joint powers agency expended for purposes of regional occupational centers or programs in the 2012–13 fiscal year. This bill would extend that expenditure requirement to the 2016–17 fiscal year.
