MODERATE

The Senate amendment to SB 1086 primarily restructures the model ordinance provision (subdivision f) and changes the state-mandated local program designation from 'yes' to 'yes no,' suggesting an attempt to address or remove the state mandate finding. The model ordinance requirement was reorganized with added clarifying language specifying it applies 'regarding micro-education entities and microschools.' Most other changes are technical drafting adjustments including section numbering and page references.

FISCAL

The state-mandated local program designation in the fiscal note was changed from 'yes' to 'yes no,' indicating an attempt to remove or modify the state mandate finding that would trigger reimbursement obligations under the Government Code.

TECHNICAL

Subdivision (f) of Section 65852.10 was restructured: the model ordinance items (A) through (E) were renumbered with additional sub-numbering (e.g., '(A) (1) Building and fire safety requirements'), and the phrase 'regarding micro-education entities and microschools' was added to clarify the scope of the model ordinance requirement.

A new 'SECTION 1' header was inserted within Section 2, and the cross-reference in the model ordinance definition was updated (though with apparent drafting errors leaving both old and new references).

The legislative counsel's digest was restructured to move the sentence about defining terms after the state-mandated local program language, and minor capitalization was corrected.
