The amount shall not exceed ninety-seven dollars ($97) per pupil instructed in the laboratory phase of driver education in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education.
  (c) Subject to Section 41305, there shall also be appropriated from the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund the sum the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall certify as necessary to reimburse on a quarterly basis for each current fiscal year school districts, county superintendents of schools, the Department of the Youth Authority, and the State Department of Education for the actual cost of replacing vehicles and simulators used exclusively in the laboratory phase of driver education programs, but the amount shall not exceed three-fourths of that part of the actual cost of instructing pupils in the laboratory phase of driver education which is: (1) in excess of ninety-seven dollars ($97) per pupil instructed, and (2) expended by the district, the county superintendent of schools, the Department of the Youth Authority, and the State Department of Education in replacing the vehicles and simulators. Reimbursement for vehicles shall be computed for only that portion of the total mileage used exclusively in the laboratory phase of driver education programs.
  (d) In addition, subject to Section 41305, there shall be provided from the Petroleum Violation Escrow Account to the General Fund, then to the State School Fund each fiscal year the sum the Superintendent of Public Instruction certifies as necessary to reimburse on a quarterly basis for each current fiscal year school districts, county superintendents of schools, the Department of the Youth Authority, and the State Department of Education for the costs of fitting automobile driver training vehicles with the instrumentation required under Section 51854 and to reimburse on a quarterly basis for each current fiscal year school districts for the costs of transferring instrumentation providing instructional information on fuel consumption and vehicle fuel efficiency from one automobile driver training vehicle to another under Section 51854.
  (e) In addition, subject to Section 41305, there shall be appropriated from the Petroleum Violation Escrow Account to the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund and from the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund to the General Fund, then to the Superintendent of Public Instruction each fiscal year the sum the Superintendent of Public Instruction certifies as necessary to reimburse on a quarterly basis for each current fiscal year the State Department of Education for the costs of workshops conducted by the department under Section 51854.
  (f) For purposes of computing reimbursement, whenever a school district, a county superintendent of schools, the Department of the Youth Authority, or the State Department of Education replaces a driver training vehicle or simulator purchased by the district with a vehicle or simulator that is a gift or loan, the purchase price of the new or acquired equipment shall be deemed to be the market value of the vehicle or simulator acquired through a gift or loan. A simulator is any device approved by the State Department of Education to be used in classrooms for purposes of laboratory instruction under simulated driving conditions.

The amounts provided under Section 41304 for any fiscal year shall be limited to the amounts appropriated in the annual Budget Act for the purposes of that section, and shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of the moneys credited to the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund in the State Treasury during the preceding fiscal year and the amount by which the deposits in the Driver Training Penalty Assessment Fund on or after September 15, 1961, have exceeded the amounts required to reimburse the General Fund on account of transfers made after that date.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall also allow as otherwise provided in Section 41304 for the driver training instruction necessary to be safely tested for a driver's license at the Department of Motor Vehicles, those physically handicapped pupils, pupils with intellectual disabilities who come within the provisions of former Section 56501, as amended by Chapter 1247 of the Statutes of 1977, and educationally handicapped pupils who are in attendance in a public secondary school in California that offers qualified instruction, and who may qualify for a driver's license, or other license, issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, a total allowance not to exceed two hundred ninety dollars ($290) including the reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 41900 to each school district and county superintendent of schools. All driver training for pupils herein described shall be provided by qualified teachers, as defined by Sections 41906 and 41907. This section may not be applied if reimbursement allowable under Sections 41900 to 41912, inclusive, is sufficient to meet the total cost of instruction as herein described. It is the intent of the Legislature that driver training instruction be provided to pupils as a part of the high school curriculum, and the Legislature finds and declares that exceptional children are entitled to the benefit of that instruction so far as their individual capabilities permit, understanding that those pupils herein described often require individualized and amplified driver training instruction in order to succeed in becoming safe operators of motor vehicles. Since without a means of self-transportation much of the overall program of education and rehabilitation provided for by the Legislature would be of little avail to the person without the mobility required to become a productive and well-adjusted member of society, the Legislature further declares that it is incumbent upon the state to share in the cost of providing a most needed and desirable program of driver training instruction for these exceptional children.

In addition there shall be provided such amount as the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall certify as necessary to provide the allowances to school districts during each fiscal year under the provisions of Sections 41932 to 41936, inclusive. Such amount is hereby appropriated from the Investment Fund in the State Treasury and shall be transferred therefrom to the State School Fund by the State Controller each fiscal year.

Each pregnant pupil enrolled in any program for physically handicapped pupils maintained by a county superintendent of schools, whose only condition for being enrolled in such a program is her pregnancy, shall be allowed to enroll in automobile driver training provided by the school district of residence; however, the school district shall receive, for the driver training instruction of the pupil, only the driver training allowances authorized by Section 41900 and shall not receive, for the driver training instruction of the pupil, driver training allowances authorized by Section 41306.

It is the intent of the Legislature that the Child Nutrition Program shall provide permanent financial assistance to eligible school districts, county superintendents of schools, local agencies, private schools, parochial schools, and child development programs, for implementing the school meal program. That financial assistance shall be used to reimburse the cafeteria account of school districts, county superintendents of schools, local agencies, private schools, parochial schools, and child development programs, based upon the number of qualifying meals served to students.
