Senate Bill 98 allowed the California Department of Education, Expanded Learning Division to suspend certain sections of the California Education Code specifically allowing operational flexibility to the expanded learning programs for the 2020–21 fiscal year (FY). 

On February 22, 2021, the Education Audit Appeals Panel adopted the 2020–21 Emergency Supplemental Audit Guide suspending the audits of expanded learning programs by independent auditors for FY 2020–21. These audits would have been conducted during the FY 2021–22. This is a onetime suspension of the audit requirements.
