Amends Education Code Sections 5322, 5324, 5325, 5361, 5362, 15100, 15140, and 15146, and Government Code Sections 53508.7; adds Education Code Sections 15150 and 15205.

Under existing law whenever an election is called, the election must be made not less than 123 days prior to the date set for the election.

This new law reduces this period to "at least 88 days prior to the date of the election in the case of an election on a measure, including a bond measure." The new law also permits certain school and college districts to sell their own bonds and permits a public or private sale.
