| CA | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | From legislative analysis: Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools of each county to make annual visits to each school, primarily to determine whether each school has sufficient textbooks, as defined. Existing law states for the 2008–09 and 2009–10 fiscal years legislative intent that each pupil be provided with the same state-adopted standards-aligned textbook or instructional material as is provided to every other pupil enrolled in the same grade and same course offered by the local educational agency.
Extends the definition of "sufficient textbooks" to the 2012–13 fiscal year and modifies the statement of legislative intent. Clarifies that a local educational agency is not required to purchase all of the instructional materials included in an adoption if the materials that are purchased are made available to all the pupils for whom they are intended in all of the schools within the local educational agency.

Requires textbook publishers to deliver open-source textbooks at no charge to districts or the state. http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81R/billtext/pdf/HB02488F.pdf

Requires state board to be given opportunity to review a textbook before it is placed on the list, and requires all textbooks to meet specified criteria, including that the textbook must be reviewed and recommended by experts in the subject area and in education technology. Specifies reimbursement procedures for a district that selects an electronic textbook or instructional material from the state list. Establishes conditions under which a district that selects a subscription-based electronic textbook or instructional material may may cancel the subscription and subscribe to a new electronic textbook or instructional material on the conforming list under Section 31.023 or the list adopted under Section 31.0231 before the end of the state contract period.
