| CA | Signed into law 09/2012 | P-12 | Primarily from bill summary: Removes requirement that instructional materials purchased by a local education agency (LEA) be state board-adopted materials (maintains existing requirement that LEA-purchased instructional materials be aligned with state standards). Establishes legislative intent that textbooks, instructional materials, and supplemental instructional materials be deemed to be aligned with the content standards and be deemed consistent with the content and cycles of the curriculum framework adopted by the state board if they are aligned to the content standards adopted pursuant to specified provisions.
Adds additional requirements for the review and adoption of K-8 instructional materials, including, but not limited to, changing the submission cycles to 8 years for all subject areas (previously 6- and 8-year submission cycles) and requiring the department of education to assess a reasonable fee on a publisher or manufacturer if it submits instructional materials for review after the applicable timeframe. Requires that the state board criteria for reviewing and adopting instructional materials be approved by resolution at the time the resolution adopting the framework for the current adoption is approved, or at least 12 months before
the date that the materials are to be approved for adoption. Deletes a provision that requires the state board to authorize a district governing board, under specified circumstances, to use its instructional materials allowances to purchase materials as specified by the state board, in accordance with state board standards and procedures.
Requires the department, before conducting an adoption of basic instructional materials for mathematics, to provide notice to all publishers or manufacturers that they are required to pay a fee to offset the cost of conducting the adoption process. Authorizes an LEA to use instructional materials aligned with academic content standards, including basic instructional materials that have not been adopted by the state board, and requires a majority of the participants of any review process conducted by the LEA to be classroom teachers assigned to the subject area or grade level of the materials.
Existing law requires the state board to give the Instructional Quality Commission a public hearing before making any adoption of elementary-level instructional materials. This bill requires the state board to hold a public hearing before adopting instructional materials for use in elementary schools. Also authorizes the superintendent of public instruction, upon review of the commission's recommendations for instructional materials, to make alternative recommendations for instructional materials, and requires the state board to consider the superintendent of public instruction's recommendations, and comments from other advisory bodies and the public, before making its decision to adopt instructional materials.
Extends deadline for state board to adopt a revised math curriculum framework to no later than November 30, 2013 (former deadline was May 30, 2013; bill maintains pre-existing May 30, 2014 deadline for revised English language arts curriculum frameworks and evaluation criteria aligned to the content standards). Authorizes the state board to adopt K-8 instructional materials aligned to math content standards no later than March 30, 2014. Authorizes the state board to adopt evaluation criteria for mathematics no later than March 31, 2013. Requires the instructional materials adopted pursuant to these provisions to remain adopted until the next statewide adoption of instructional materials for mathematics.
Repeals the provisions relating to the Instructional Materials Funding Realignment Program, which was statutorily established to provide districts with funding for instructional materials on the basis of an equal amount per pupil enrolled in public K-12 schools.
Provides that all aforementioned provisions become operative only if 2012 AB 1719 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1701-1750/ab_1719_bill_20120911_enrolled.pdf) is also enacted and
takes effect on or before January 1, 2013. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1201-1250/ab_1246_bill_20120927_chaptered.pdf

| CA | Vetoed 09/2012 | P-12 | From bill summary: Requires a publisher or manufacturer submitting a printed instructional material for adoption by the state board or a district governing board to ensure that the printed instructional material is also available in an equivalent digital format during the entire term of the adoption. Becomes operative only if SB 1154 of the 2011–12
Regular Session (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_1151-1200/sb_1154_bill_20120905_enrolled.pdf) is also enacted and takes effect.

Governor's veto message: http://gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_1790_Veto_Message.pdf
Note from last bill analysis (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_1751-1800/ab_1790_cfa_20120830_220909_asm_floor.html): As a result of the fiscal climate in the state, adoptions of instructional materials have been suspended until the 2015-16 fiscal year, thus there are no adoptions taking place at the moment and districts are not required to purchase instructional materials by a specified timeline. The requirements of this bill would be applicable only after the existing suspension is lifted.

| CA | Vetoed 09/2012 | P-12 | From bill summary: Requires a publisher or manufacturer that offers printed instructional materials or printed supplemental instructional materials in an equivalent digital format to offer the digital format at the same cost as, or lower cost than, the cost of the purchased printed format. If the publisher or manufacturer cannot obtain copyright due to a 3rd-party contract conflict, authorizes an equivalent digital format to be substituted with comparable digital materials. Authorizes a district to use instructional materials in digital format that were purchased by the district to create a districtwide online digital database for classroom use. Exempts from these requirements small publishers and small manufacturers of instructional materials, and specifies that these provisions be implemented in accordance with specified provisions suspending the adoption of instructional materials by the state board.
