No. 99 - 37

[Stats. 1999, Chapter 1013
(SB 570, Alarcon)]

Amends Education Code Sections 48110 and 48111

Under existing law, any minor over age 16 or other person entering school grounds and interfering with school activities, commits a misdemeanor. This offense is punishable by a fine of not less than $100, or more than $1,000, or imprisonment in a county jail not to exceed six months, or by both the fine and imprisonment. Also, if a person disrupts classwork or extracurricular activities in a place where a school employee is required to be in the course of his or her duties, that individual commits a misdemeanor and is subject to the same penalties.

The new law increases the minimum fine to $500 and the maximum fine to $1,000.
