California AB296 establishes a registry for career technical education equipment sales among local educational agencies until 2032.

California AB296 creates a registry for career technical education equipment sales among local educational agencies, accessible via an internet website. Equipment such as power tools, simulators, and medical equipment can be listed for sale for at least three months. The bill also mandates that school districts or schools host apprenticeship fairs annually, similar to college and career fairs, and notify local apprenticeship programs about these events. If a school district requires community service hours for graduation, attending such fairs can count as one hour per year.
