Bill	School finance: emergency apportionments: compliance audits.	Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to request an emergency apportionment through the Superintendent of Public Instruction if the governing board of the school district determines during a fiscal year that its revenues are less than the amount necessary to meet its current year expenditure obligations. Under existing law, if a school district accepts an emergency apportionment, that acceptance constitutes agreement by the school district to numerous conditions, among which is an agreement that the Controller, or his or her designee, or an auditor selected by the school district and approved by the Controller shall conduct an annual audit of the books and accounts of the school district, as specified. This provision requires these audits to continue until the Controller determines, in consultation with the Superintendent, that the school district is financially solvent, but in no event earlier than one year following the implementation of the school district's fiscal plan or later than the time the apportionment is repaid, including interest.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20152016	AB 625	California AB 625 (20152016)	bill	School finance: emergency apportionments: compliance audits.	enacted	Bonta	9	28	6	2015-02-24	2015-09-28	openstates	ocd-bill/030484b1-ca2c-402b-92f0-cb157de7fc90	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB625	d8ffe1a0c383dd8d76b9d8c49286fb26ff2dba9d88a0fcde7e72b53767c20ea8	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca

California AB 625 (20152016) — School finance: emergency apportionments: compliance audits.

Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to request an emergency apportionment through the Superintendent of Public Instruction if the governing board of the school district determines during a fiscal year that its revenues are less than the amount necessary to meet its current year expenditure obligations. Under existing law, if a school district accepts an emergency apportionment, that acceptance constitutes agreement by the school district to numerous conditions, among which is an agreement that the Controller, or his or her designee, or an auditor selected by the school district and approved by the Controller shall conduct an annual audit of the books and accounts of the school district, as specified. This provision requires these audits to continue until the Controller determines, in consultation with the Superintendent, that the school district is financially solvent, but in no event earlier than one year following the implementation of the school district's fiscal plan or later than the time the apportionment is repaid, including interest.
