The people of the State of California do enact as follows:


SECTION 1.

 Section 17582 of the Education Code is amended to read:

17582.
 (a) The governing board of each school district may establish a restricted fund to be known as the “district deferred maintenance fund” for the purpose of major repair or replacement of plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, roofing, and floor systems, the exterior and interior painting of school buildings, the inspection, sampling, and analysis of building materials to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials, the encapsulation or removal of asbestos-containing materials, the inspection, identification, sampling, and analysis of building materials to determine the presence of lead-containing materials, the control, management, and removal of lead-containing materials, and any other items of maintenance approved by the State Allocation Board. Funds deposited in the district deferred maintenance fund may be received from any source whatsoever, and shall be accounted for separately from all other funds and accounts and retained in the district deferred maintenance fund for purposes of this section. The term “school building” as used in this article includes a facility that a county office of education is authorized to use pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 17280) of Chapter 3.
(b) Funds deposited in the district deferred maintenance fund shall only be expended for maintenance purposes as provided pursuant to subdivision (a).
(c) The governing board of each school district shall have complete control over the funds and earnings of funds once deposited in the district deferred maintenance fund, provided that no funds deposited in the district deferred maintenance fund pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 17584 may be expended by the governing board for any purpose except those specified in subdivision (a) of this section.
(d) As used in this article:
(1) “School building” includes a facility that a county office of education is authorized to use pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 17280) of Chapter 3 of Part 10.5 of Division 1 of Title 1.
(2) “Electrical” includes internal connections for education technology wiring. Internal connections are components located at the applicant site that are necessary to transmit information to classrooms, publicly accessible rooms of a library, and eligible administrative areas or buildings. Internal connections include connections within, between, or among instructional buildings that comprise a school campus or library branch, but do not include services that extend beyond the school campus or library branch. The components must be necessary to transmit information all the way to individual classrooms or public areas of a library.
