What is the Legislative Intent of School Bond Oversight?

The legislation that implemented Proposition 39 (Education Code Section 15264) had the following legislative intent (emphasis added):

  • Vigorous efforts are undertaken to ensure that the expenditure of bond measures, including those authorized pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, are in strict conformity with the law
  • Taxpayers directly participate in the oversight of bond revenues
  • The members of the oversight committees promptly alert the public to any waste or improper expenditure of school construction bond money
  • Unauthorized expenditures of school bond revenues are vigorously investigated, and the courts are to act swiftly to restrain any improper expenditures

Bond oversight is supposed to be an active probing process.
