Summary: Existing law requires the court in a jury trial to admonish the jury that it is their duty not to converse with, or permit themselves to be addressed by, any other person on any subject of the trial. The court is required to provide the admonishment in a civil proceeding when the jurors are permitted to separate during the trial, and when the case is submitted to the jury, and, in a criminal proceeding, after the jury has been sworn and before the people's opening address, at each adjournment of the court, and when the jurors are permitted by the court to separate after the case is submitted to the jury. An officer having the jury under his or her charge shall not permit any communication to be made to them, or make any himself or herself, as specified. This bill would expand those admonishments to include the conduct of research or dissemination of information on any subject of the trial. The bill would require the court, when admonishing the jury against conversation, research, or dissemination of information pursuant to these provisions, to clearly explain, as part of the admonishment, that the prohibition applies to all forms of electronic and wireless communication. The bill would require the officer in charge of a jury to prevent any form of electronic or wireless communication. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Status:09/14/2011-Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 3 p.m.
Current Location:09/14/2011-A ENROLLED
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law imposes a sales tax on retailers measured by the gross receipts from the sale of tangible personal property sold at retail in this state, and a use tax on the storage, use, or other consumption in this state of tangible personal property purchased from a retailer for storage, use, or other consumption in this state, measured by sales price. That law requires every retailer engaged in business in this state, as defined, and making sales of tangible personal property for storage, use, or other consumption in this state to collect the tax from the purchaser. Existing law defines a "retailer engaged in business in this state" to include a retailer that has substantial nexus with this state and a retailer upon whom federal law permits the state to impose a use tax collection duty; a retailer entering into an agreement or agreements under which a person or persons in this state, for a commission or other consideration, directly or indirectly refer potential purchasers of tangible personal property to the retailer, whether by an Internet-based link or an Internet Web site, or otherwise, provided that 2 specified conditions are met, including the condition that the retailer, within the preceding 12 months, has total cumulative sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in this state in excess of $500,000; and a retailer that is a member of a commonly controlled group, as defined under the Corporation Tax Law, and a member of a combined reporting group, as defined, that includes another member of the retailer's commonly controlled group that, pursuant to an agreement with or in cooperation with the retailer, performs services in this state in connection with tangible personal property to be sold by the retailer. This bill would revise the definition of a "retailer engaged in business in this state" to temporarily eliminate the above-mentioned inclusions in that definition, and would condition the commencement of the operation of these inclusions upon the enactment of a certain federal law and the state's election to implement that law. This bill, for purposes of one of those inclusions, would revise the cumulative sales condition to increase the amount of total cumulative sales of tangible personal property to purchasers in this state to an amount in excess of $1,000,000. This bill contains other related provisions.

Summary: Existing law makes it a misdemeanor for any person who has been convicted of a crime committed upon a particular private property, to willfully enter upon, or refuse to leave the private property, as specified, after having been informed by a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, and upon being informed by the peace officer that he or she is acting at the request of the owner, the owner's agent, or the person in lawful possession, that the property is not open to the particular person. Existing law provides that where the person has been convicted of a violent felony, as specified, this provision shall apply without limitation and where the person has been convicted of any other felony, this provision shall apply for no more than 5 years from the date of conviction. Existing law provides that where the person has been convicted of a misdemeanor, this provision shall apply for no more than 2 years and where the person was convicted for an infraction, as specified, this provision shall apply for no more than one year from the date of conviction. This bill would additionally subject persons who have had a petition sustained in a juvenile adjudication for a crime committed upon the particular property to the above-referenced provisions.

Existing law requires the Controller to receive every audit report prepared by any local public agency pursuant to the federal Single Audit Act of 1984, and that the Controller review those reports for compliance with federal law before forwarding them to the designated state agency. This bill would additionally require that, if an audit of a local agency reveals certain financial irregularities, the findings be sent separately to the Controller immediately after the audit has been concluded. By increasing the duties of local officials, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law, operative until July 1, 2011, or until the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has replaced temporary beds, as defined, authorizes any court, agency, or officer having power to commit or transfer an inmate, to any institution for confinement, to commit or transfer that inmate to any institution within or without this state if this state has contracted for the confinement of inmates in that institution pursuant to one of 2 specified compacts. Existing law provides that at any time more than 5 years after the transfer, the inmate shall be entitled to revoke consent and to transfer to an institution in this state. Existing law prohibits the transfer or commitment of an inmate with serious medical or mental health conditions, as determined by the Plata Receiver, or an inmate in the mental health delivery system, as specified, to an institution outside of this state unless he or she has executed a written consent to the transfer. This bill would remove the inmate's right to revoke his or her consent and make other conforming changes. The bill would delete the sunset date on existing law and make the above provision operative indefinitely. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law authorizes the juvenile court, if a minor is found to be within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court by reason of the commission of a gang-related offense, and the court finds that the minor is a first-time offender and orders that a parent or guardian retain custody of that minor, to order the parent or guardian to attend antigang violence parenting classes. Under existing law, the father, mother, spouse, or other person liable for the support of the minor, the estate of that person, and the estate of the minor are liable for the cost of the classes, unless the court finds that the person or estate does not have the financial ability to pay. This bill would expand the authority of the juvenile court to order the parent or guardian of a minor to attend antigang violence parenting classes to additionally apply to a minor who is within the jurisdiction of the juvenile court for habitual disobedience, a curfew violation, truancy, or an offense that is not gang-related if the court finds the presence of significant risk factors for gang involvement on the part of the minor.

Existing law establishes the Office of the State Foster Care Ombudsperson to disseminate specified information, including the stated rights of foster youth, and to investigate and attempt to resolve complaints made by or on behalf of children placed in foster care, related to their care, placement, or services. This bill would enumerate rights for foster youth relating to mental health services.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of his or her employment. Existing law establishes, in the Department of Industrial Relations, the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers' Compensation. Existing law requires that specified notices be provided to injured employees and prescribes the contents of notices that are required to be posted, given to, or mailed to an employee. Existing law provides for specified procedures to be used in notifying employees regarding benefits and required actions in pursuing a workers' compensation claim. This bill would require the administrative director, in consultation with the commission, to prescribe reasonable rules and regulations for serving certain notices on an employee. This bill would require the administrative director, in consultation with the commission, to develop, make fully accessible on the department's Internet Web site, and make available at district offices informational material written in plain language that describes the overall workers' compensation claims process. This bill would require each notice to be written in plain language and to reference the informational material to enable employees to understand the context of the notices. This bill would modify provisions required to be in, and procedures for, specified notices, and would delete a requirement for notice by certified mail, and would make conforming changes.

Calendar Events:
Summary: The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) requires contributions to the retirement fund based on compensation earnable by a member , including a school member , which includes the member's payrate and special compensation, as specified. "Payrate" is defined as the normal monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member paid in cash to similarly situated members of the same group or class of employment, as specified. For a member who is not in a group or class, "payrate" means the monthly rate of pay or base pay of the member, as specified. PERL provides that increases in compensation earnable granted to an employee who is not in a group or class shall be limited during the final compensation period applicable to the employees, as well as the 2 years immediately preceding the final compensation period, to the average increase in compensation earnable during the same period reported by the employer for all employees who are in the same membership classification, except as may otherwise be determined pursuant to regulations adopted by the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System that establish reasonable standards for granting exceptions. This bill would delete the authorization for the board to adopt regulations to permit those exceptions to the average increase limitation for increases in compensation earnable granted to an employee who is not in a group or class. This bill contains other existing laws.

Status:05/10/2011-Failed Deadline pursuant to Rule 61(a)(2). (Last location was AGING & L.T.C. on 3/22/2011)
Current Location:05/10/2011-A 2 YEAR
Calendar Events:
Summary: The Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act establishes various procedures for the reporting, investigation, and prosecution of elder and dependent adult abuse. The act requires certain persons, called mandated reporters, to report known or suspected instances of elder or dependent adult abuse, and the failure of a mandated reporter to report physical abuse and financial abuse of an elder or dependent adult under the act is a misdemeanor. The act requires the mandated reporter to report the abuse to the adult protective services agency or the local law enforcement agency if the abuse occurs anywhere other than a long-term facility. This bill would require a county adult protective services agency or a local law enforcement agency to accept a report by a mandated reporter, or any other person, of suspected elder or dependent adult abuse even if the agency lacks jurisdiction to investigate the report, unless the call can be immediately transferred to an agency with proper jurisdiction. This bill would also require a county adult protective services agency or a local law enforcement agency that lacks jurisdiction to immediately refer the report of suspected abuse by telephone, facsimile, or electronic transmission to an agency with proper jurisdiction. By requiring county adult protective services agencies and local law enforcement agencies to provide a higher level of service, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Current Location:05/10/2011-A 2 YEAR
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law provides that a search warrant cannot be issued but upon probable cause, supported by affidavit, naming or describing the person to be searched or searched for, and particularly describing the property, thing or things, and the place to be searched. Existing law provides that a search warrant shall be executed and returned within 10 days after date of issuance. This bill would establish rules regarding tracking device search warrants. The bill would provide that the length of time that a tracking device may be used shall not exceed 45 days, except as specified. The bill would provide that an officer executing a tracking device search warrant shall not be required to knock and announce his or her presence before executing the warrant. The bill would provide that no later than 10 calendar days after the use of the tracking device has ended, the officer who executed the tracking device warrant shall serve a copy of the warrant on the person who was tracked or whose property was tracked. Because this bill would require local law enforcement officials to perform additional duties, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law, the Ralph M. Brown Act, requires the meetings of the legislative body of a local agency to be conducted openly and publicly, with specified exceptions. Existing law requires that the legislative body of a local agency post an agenda, as specified, at least 72 hours before a regular meeting of that body, and prohibits the legislative body from acting on or discussing any item not appearing on the agenda, except as provided. This bill would require the legislative body of a local agency to post the agenda and specified staff generated reports that relate to items on the agenda on its Internet Web site, if any, as specified. The bill would require the legislative body of the local agency, if it does not have an Internet Web site, to disclose on the posted agenda a public location where the agency would make an applicabl e staff generated report available for copying and inspection by a member of the public for at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. The bill would prohibit the legislative body from acting on or discussing an item on the agenda for which a related staff generated report was not properly disclosed at least 72 hours prior to the meeting, except as provided. By expanding the duties of local agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

AB 396 ( Mitchell) Medi-Cal: juvenile inmates. ( E-09/20/2011 html pdf )
Status:09/08/2011-Senate amendments concurred in. To Engrossing and Enrolling. (Ayes 79. Noes 0.).
Current Location:09/08/2011-A ENROLLMENT
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid provisions. Existing federal law, with certain exceptions, excludes federal financial participation for medical care provided to any individual who is an inmate in a public institution, and existing state law suspends Medi-Cal benefits, for a specified period of time, to an individual under 21 years of age who is an inmate of a public institution. Existing state law also provides that no person shall be denied benefits, for whom and for which federal financial participation is available, based solely on the individual's incarcerated status in a county or city jail or juvenile detention facility. This bill would additionally require the State Department of Health Care Services to develop processes to allow counties and the Division of Juvenile Facilities within the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to receive any available federal financial participation for acute inpatient hospital services and inpatient psychiatric services provided to juvenile inmates, as defined and as applicable, who are admitted as inpatients in a medical institution. The bill would require the department to consult with counties and the Division of Juvenile Facilities in the development of these processes, and would require the department to seek any federal approvals necessary to implement these provisions. The bill would provide that these provisions shall be implemented only to the extent that the Division of Juvenile Facilities and counties elect to voluntarily provide the nonfederal share of expenditures for acute inpatient hospital services and inpatient psychiatric services, and would require that the federal financial participation associated with services provided pursuant to these processes be paid to the participating counties or the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, as applicable. The bill would provide that these provisions shall be implemented only to the extent that any necessary federal approval is obtained and existing levels of federal financial participation are not jeopardized. The bill would make related findings and declarations. This bill contains other existing laws.

Summary: Existing law provides special written, mailed notice to appear procedures in connection with certain alleged traffic violations, including those recorded by an automated traffic enforcement system, and also requires that for those violations recorded by an automated traffic enforcement system the governmental agency may not contract out to the manufacturer or supplier of the automated traffic enforcement system the requirement to maintain controls necessary to ensure that only those citations that have been reviewed and approved by law enforcement are delivered to violators. This bill would require that only a peace officer or a qualified employee of a law enforcement agency may serve a notice to appear for the specified traffic offenses, including those recorded by an automated traffic enforcement system , and would require that the notice to appear be enclosed in an official envelope of the issuing agency . By expanding the duties of local law enforcement officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law, the DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act, an initiative measure, requires an additional penalty of $1 for every $10 or part thereof to be levied in each county upon every fine, penalty, or forfeiture imposed and collected by the courts for all criminal offenses, as specified. The act requires the county board of supervisors to establish in the county treasury a DNA Identification Fund, into which the collected penalties are to be deposited. The act specifies the purposes for which funds in the county's DNA Identification Fund may be used, including to reimburse local sheriff, police, district attorney, and regional state crime laboratories for expenditures and administrative costs made or incurred in connection with the processing, analysis, tracking, and storage of DNA crime scene samples, as specified. The act provides for its amendment by the Legislature if the amendments further the act and are consistent with its purposes to enhance the use of DNA identification evidence for the purpose of accurate and expeditious crime solving and exonerating the innocent. This bill would provide that, if authorized by a resolution of the board of supervisors, a local sheriff or police department, or the district attorney's office, may use funds remaining in the county's DNA Identification Fund, either independently or in combination with remaining funds from another county, to provide supplemental funding to a qualified local or regional state forensic laboratory, as defined, for expenditures and administrative costs made or incurred in connection with the processing, analysis, and comparison of DNA crime scene samples and forensic identification samples, and testimony related to that analysis, as specified. The bill would declare that its provisions further the initiative act, and are consistent with its purposes.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law authorizes the City and County of San Francisco to create infrastructure financing districts, including districts that include specified waterfront property, adopt infrastructure financing plans for those districts, and issue bonds financed by projected increases in ad valorem property taxes to fund certain public facilities, pursuant to a specified procedure. Existing property tax law establishes various procedures and requirements with respect to the annual apportionment and allocation of ad valorem property tax revenues, including increased revenues from these infrastructure financing districts. This bill would authorize the adoption under these provisions of financing plans for special waterfront districts that include the waterfront area in the City and County of San Francisco designated as the America's Cup venues and certain lands on Treasure Island, and the use of specified tax revenues produced in the districts for the construction of the Port of San Francisco's maritime facilities at Pier 27, improvement of publicly held waterfront lands used as viewing sites, affordable housing, and other matters, subject to specified allocation procedures. It would require the county board of supervisors to submit a fiscal analysis to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank for review and approval before adopting the resolution authorizing the issuance of debt pursuant to these provisions. The bill would exempt the issuance of tax increment bonds in a waterfront district from local voter approval requirements and would authorize those bonds to be sold at a negotiated sale.

A violation of these provisions is a misdemeanor. This bill would delete the reference to an owner or operator of a tow truck and would instead provide that a tow truck driver who violates these prohibitions is, in addition to being guilty of a misdemeanor, subject to punishment by having the tow truck impounded for a period of 30 days and a $2,500 fine.

Current Location:09/08/2011-A ENROLLMENT
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law requires a person's driving privilege to be suspended upon conviction of specified driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offenses for one year. Existing law terminates the licensing suspension if certain conditions are met, including if the person is eligible to apply for a restricted license. Under existing law, a person who drives a vehicle upon a highway in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of a person or property is guilty of reckless driving. Existing law provides that, when a person is charged with, and pleads guilty or nolo contendere to, reckless driving in satisfaction of, or as a substitute for, an original charge for a DUI, and the court accepts the plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the conviction is a prior offense for purposes of specified laws relating to punishments imposed for DUI convictions. This bill would terminate a driver's license suspension, and make the person eligible for a restricted driver's license, for a person convicted of reckless driving in satisfaction of, or substitute for, an original charge of driving-under-the-influence, if certain conditions are met, including that the person complete a 90-day suspension period and install an ignition interlock device. The bill would require the department to advise the person of the above conditions. The bill would require that the restricted driver's license privilege be subject to certain restrictions, including, among other things, that upon receipt of notification from the installer that a person has attempted to remove, bypass, or tamper with the ignition interlock device, the privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall immediately be suspended. This bill contains other related provisions.

This bill would instead require the secretary to identify and implement evidence-based practices to address gang and youth violence. The bill would also require the California Emergency Management Agency to make recommendations on the most effective role of the agency in developing a plan to shift state-funded crime prevention and juvenile justice programs toward evidence-based practices over a 3-year period.

Current Location:07/08/2011-S 2 YEAR
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law establishes the prima facie speed limit on various roadways, including a 25 miles per hour speed limit when approaching or passing a school building or grounds, contiguous to a highway and posted with a standard "SCHOOL" warning sign, while children are going to or leaving the school. Existing law authorizes a local authority to lower the speed limit in a school zone in certain circumstances including when a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the prima facie speed limit of 25 miles per hour is more than is reasonable or safe. A violation of the Vehicle Code is an infraction unless stated otherwise. Existing law establishes a penalty structure for a person convicted of an infraction that requires a fine of not more than $100 or $250 depending on the number of violations within a specified time period. This bill would authorize a local authority to adopt an ordinance or resolution that doubles a base fine imposed upon a person who is convicted of speeding in a school zone if certain conditions are met, including the condition that the street on which the speeding offense occurred is not one where the speed could have been reduced because the maximum posted prima facie speed limit is greater than 30 miles per hour, as provided. The bill would provide that the doubling of the base fine shall not result in the increase in any associated and additional penalties, fines, fees, or assessments, as provided by law. The bill would also provide that a local authority that adopts an ordinance shall receive funds from a special account in the county treasury for use for specified purposes, including driver awareness educational programs. The money in the fund would come from the enhanced portion of the fine imposed for speeding in the specified school zone.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law requires persons who have been convicted of specified crimes, and other persons as required by a court, to register as a sex offender. Existing law sets forth the procedure for doing so and provides that a violation of the sex offender registration law is a crime, punishable as specified. This bill would, in addition, make it a misdemeanor for any person who is granted probation or placed on parole for the conviction of a crime that requires him or her to register as a sex offender to use any Internet social networking Web site, as defined, during that period of probation or parole if the victim of the offense was under 18 years of age at the time of the offense and the Internet was used in the commission of the crime. The bill would authorize the person to seek an exception to the prohibition for legitimate professional purposes by applying through the appropriate parole or probation supervising agency. Approval would be valid for one year, unless revoked. The bill would authorize an annual application for renewal. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

This bill would make those provisions apply to the infliction of that type of injury on the fiancé or fiancée of that person or on someone with whom the person has, or previously had, a dating or engagement relationship. By expanding the scope of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law requires the Corrections Standards Authority, and commencing July 1, 2012, the Board of State and Community Corrections, to establish minimum standards for state and local correctional facilities, including standards restricting the shackling of women in labor, during childbirth, and while in recovery after giving birth, and to review those standards biennially and make any appropriate revisions, as specified. This bill would require that the standards ensure that women who are pregnant not be shackled by the wrists, ankles, around the abdomen, or to another person, including during time spent outside a correctional facility, during transport to or from a correctional facility, during labor, delivery, and while in recovery after giving birth, except that the least restrictive restraints possible may be used when deemed necessary for the inmate, consistent with the legitimate security needs of the inmate, the staff, and the public, and the restraints would only remain in place as long as the threat exists. The bill would require the authority, and later the board, to develop these standards regarding the shackling of pregnant women as part of its biennial review of its standards. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Summary: Existing law, with certain exceptions, makes it a misdemeanor for a person to deliver, furnish, or transfer, or possess with intent to deliver, furnish, or transfer drug paraphernalia, knowing, or under circumstances where one reasonably should know, that it will be used to introduce into the human body a controlled substance. Existing law provides an exception to this general rule by authorizing a city, county, or city and county to conduct a clean needle and syringe exchange project authorized by the public entity to combat the spread of HIV and bloodborne hepatitis. Existing law exempts providers participating in an exchange project from criminal prosecution for possession of needles or syringes during participation in the project. Existing law also provides a specified annual comment and reporting process relating to the needle and syringe exchange projects. This bill would, until January 1, 2019, authorize the State Department of Public Health to authorize, as specified, certain entities to provide hypodermic needle and syringe exchange services in any location where the department determines that the conditions exist for the rapid spread of HIV, viral hepatitis, or any other potentially deadly or disabling infections that are spread through the sharing of used hypodermic needles and syringes.

Calendar Events:
Summary: The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act contains various provisions that govern collective bargaining of local represented employees, and delegates jurisdiction to the Public Employment Relations Board to resolve disputes and enforce the statutory duties and rights of local public agency employers and employees. The act requires the governing body of a public agency to meet and confer in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment with representatives of recognized employee organizations. Under the act, if the representatives of the public agency and the employee organization fail to reach an agreement, they may mutually agree on the appointment of a mediator and equally share the cost. If the parties reach an impasse, the act provides that a public agency may unilaterally implement its last, best, and final offer. This bill would authorize the employee organization, if the mediator is unable to effect settlement of the controversy within 30 days of his or her appointment, to request that the matter be submitted to a factfinding panel. The bill would require that the factfinding panel consist of one member selected by each party as well as a chairperson selected by the board or by agreement of the parties. The factfinding panel would be authorized to make investigations and hold hearings, and to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence. The bill would require all political subdivisions of the state to comply with the panel's requests for information. This bill contains other related provisions.

Calendar Events:
Summary: The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to grant reprieves, pardons, or commutations after sentence has been entered, but prohibits the Governor from granting a pardon or commutation to a person twice convicted of a felony except on recommendation of the Supreme Court, 4 judges concurring. The California Constitution further requires the Governor to report to the Legislature each reprieve, pardon, and commutation stating the pertinent facts and reasons for granting it. Existing statutory law provides that at least 10 days before the Governor acts upon an application for a pardon, written notice of the intention to apply therefor, signed by the person applying, shall be served upon the district attorney of the county where the conviction was had, and proof, by affidavit, of the service is required to be presented to the Governor. This bill would require that, except when there is imminent danger of the death of a person convicted or imprisoned, or when the term of imprisonment of the applicant is within 10 days of its expiration, at least 10 days before the Governor acts upon any application for a commutation, the application signed by the person applying be served upon the district attorney of the county where the conviction was had. The bill would authorize the district attorney to submit a written recommendation to the Governor for or against commutation of sentence. The bill would further require the district attorney to make reasonable efforts to notify the victim or victims of the crime or crimes related to the application for commutation of sentence and those persons' family members, and allow those persons to submit a recommendation to the Governor for or against commutation of sentence. By imposing additional duties on the district attorney, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Existing law provides that the money generated by these fees and paid to the Controller is continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years, for disbursement by the Controller to each county that has adopted a resolution as described above, and that the money so disbursed may only be used for programs that enhance the capacity of local law enforcement to provide fingerprint identification of individuals who may be involved in driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, vehicular manslaughter, other vehicle-related crimes, and other crimes committed while operating a motor vehicle. This bill would extend that authorization indefinitely. By extending a law providing for disbursements from a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation.
Laws: An act to amend Section 9250.19 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles, and making an appropriation therefor.

Summary: Existing law, as amended by Proposition 21 as approved by the voters at the March 7, 2000, statewide primary election, provides that any person who actively participates in any criminal street gang with knowledge that its members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity, and who willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang, shall be punished, as specified. Existing law defines "a pattern of criminal gang activity" as the commission of, attempted commission of, conspiracy to commit, or solicitation of, sustained juvenile petition for, or conviction of, 2 or more listed offenses. Proposition 21 may be amended by a statute passed by a 2/3 vote of the membership of each house of the Legislature. This bill would add pimping, pandering, and human trafficking as offenses that may be used to establish a pattern of criminal activity for those purposes. Because this bill would amend Proposition 21 it therefore requires a 2/3 vote. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Current Location:09/08/2011-A ENROLLMENT
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law generally requires employers to secure the payment of workers' compensation, including medical treatment, for injuries incurred by their employees that arise out of, or in the course of, employment. Existing law generally prohibits aggregate disability payments for a single injury occurring on or after January 1, 2008, causing temporary disability from extending for more than 104 compensable weeks within a period of 5 years from the date of injury. Under existing law, if an employee suffers from specified injuries or conditions, aggregate disability payments for a single injury occurring on or after April 19, 2004, causing temporary disability are prohibited from extending for more than 240 compensable weeks within a period of 5 years from the date of injury. This bill would add an injury or condition where surgery or recovery from surgery occurs after 104 weeks of temporary disability benefits have been paid, provided that specified conditions are met, to the injuries or conditions for which aggregate disability payments for a single injury causing temporary disability are prohibited from extending for more than 240 compensable weeks within a period of 5 years.

This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Status:05/26/2011-From committee without further action pursuant to Joint Rule 62(a).
Current Location:05/10/2011-A 2 YEAR
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law, the Sex Offender Registration Act, requires persons convicted of specified sex offenses to register with local authorities for life while residing, located, attending school, or working in California. Willful failure to register, as required, is a misdemeanor, or a felony, depending on the underlying offense. F Existing law makes it a felony, generally known as human trafficking, to deprive or violate the personal liberty of another with the intent to effect or maintain a felony violation of, among other crimes, pimping, pandering, and abducting a minor for the purpose of prostitution. This bill would add human trafficking for the purposes of sexual slavery to the list of offenses requiring registration as a sex offender under the Sex Offender Registration Act. Because this bill would create a new crime, and because additional persons have to be registered as sex offenders by local officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Summary: Existing law requires that every person who plants, cultivates, harvests, dries, or processes any marijuana, or any part thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, be punished by imprisonment in the state prison. This bill would make that crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a period of not more than one year or by imprisonment in the state prison. By changing the penalty for this crime to authorize imprisonment in a county jail, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law requires that community notification by way of an Internet Web site be governed by this provision and prohibits a law enforcement entity from posting on an Internet Web site any information identifying an individual as a person required to register as a sex offender, except as specified and unless there is a warrant outstanding for that person's arrest. This bill would expand the provisions described above relating to community notification regarding a registered sex offender by way of an Internet Web site to include, upon request, e-mail or other electronic notification. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law regulates harbors and navigable waters. Existing law provides that those provisions, in so far as they are not in conflict with the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction and laws of the United States, apply to navigable waters of the United States. Existing law regards as navigable and public ways the coast line of the state from the boundary between it and Mexico on the south, to the boundary line between it and Oregon on the north, as defined and determined by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. This bill would establish special maritime jurisdiction for crimes against persons on board a ship outside of the state under specified circumstances , including when there is a suspect on board a ship who is a citizen or resident of this state or a state which consents to the jurisdiction of this state, when the master of the ship or an official of the flag state, as defined, commits a suspect on board the ship to the custody of a law enforcement officer acting under the authority of this state, when the state where the crime occurred requests the exercise of jurisdiction by this state, when the crime occurs during a voyage on which over 1/2 of the revenue passengers on board the ship originally embarked and plan to finally disembark in this state, or where the victim is a California law enforcement officer on board the ship in connection with his or her official duties. The bill would provide that a crime against the person or property of another that is punishable by law when committed in this state shall be punishable in the same manner when committed within the special maritime criminal jurisdiction of this state, as specified. Because this bill would expand the application of crimes to a new category of people, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law requires an interpreter to be sworn to interpret for a witness who is incapable of understanding the English language or is incapable of expressing himself or herself in the English language so as to be understood directly by counsel, court, and jury. Existing law also requires an interpreter to be present at specified family court proceedings in which a party does not proficiently speak or understand the English language to interpret and assist communications between the party and his or her attorney. Existing law requires judicial proceedings to be conducted, preserved, and published in English, but nothing in this provision prohibits a court from providing an unofficial translation of specified court orders in a language other than English. This bill would authorize a bilingual judge, notwithstanding any other law, to provide an unofficial translation of preliminary court procedures that do not bear on any substantive right of a party when a court interpreter is not immediately available.

Summary: Existing law authorizes a court to postpone the revocation or suspension of a person's driving privilege until the term of imprisonment is served if that person was convicted of certain DUI provisions, among other things, and sentenced to serve one year in a county jail or more than one year in the state prison. This bill would instead require the Department of Motor Vehicles, upon receipt of a duly certified abstract of record of a court, to postpone the revocation or suspension of a person's driving privilege until the term of imprisonment is served if that person was convicted of certain DUI provisions and sentenced to incarceration in state prison. This bill contains other related provisions.

Status:09/16/2011-Enrolled and presented to the Governor at 11:30 a.m.
Current Location:09/16/2011-A ENROLLED
Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law provides that a person sentenced to imprisonment in a state prison may be deprived of rights only as is reasonably related to legitimate penological interests. Existing law states that nothing in this provision shall be construed to permit the involuntary administration of psychotropic medication unless the process specified in Keyhea v. Rushen (1986) 178 Cal.App.3d 526 has been followed. Existing law further requires that this process be conducted by an administrative law judge. This bill would delete the provision regarding the medication process specified in Keyhea v. Rushen. The bill would instead provide that no inmate shall be administered psychotropic medication on a nonemergency basis without the inmate's informed consent, unless after a noticed hearing is conducted in which an administrative law judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the inmate has a mental illness or disorder, that as a result of that illness the inmate is gravely disabled and lacks the capacity to consent or refuse treatment or is a danger to self or others if not medicated, that there is no less intrusive alternative to involuntary medication, and that the medication is in the inmate's best medical interest. This bill contains other related provisions.

Calendar Events:
Summary: The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) creates the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), which provides a defined benefit to its employees based on age at retirement, service credit, and final or highest compensation paid to the employee. Existing law authorizes any public agency to participate in, and make its employees members of, PERS by contract. In the case of an employee who has been employed by one or more contracting public agencies, retirement benefits distributed to that employee are based on the highest final compensation under any system, and each system makes a separate retirement payment to the employee based upon the number of years that the employee worked for each of those agencies. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature that a contracting agency not experience a significant increase in actuarial liability due to increased compensation paid by another contracting agency to a nonrepresented employee. The bill would require the Board of Administration of PERS to develop guidelines in this regard and to implement program changes to ensure that a contracting agency that creates a significant increase in actuarial liability due to increased compensation bears the associated liability. The bill would require the system actuary to assess an increase in liability in this regard to the employer that created it at the time the increase is determined and to make adjustments to that employer's rates as needed. The bill would apply these requirements to any significant increase in actuarial liability due to increased compensation paid to a nonrepresented employee regardless of when the increase in compensation occurred. The bill would require the board to report to the Legislature on the implementation of these provisions. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Calendar Events:
Summary: Existing law requires the Legislature to make an annual appropriation to the Judicial Council for the general operations of the trial courts based on the request of the Judicial Council, which is submitted to the Governor and the Legislature. The Judicial Council is required to allocate the funding for trial court operations to the trial courts in a manner that best ensures the ability of the courts to carry out their functions, promotes implementation of statewide policies, and promotes the immediate implementation of efficiencies and cost-saving measures in court operations, in order to guarantee access to justice to citizens of the state. Existing law requires the Controller to apportion trial court funding payments to the individual trial courts pursuant to the allocation schedule adopted by the Judicial Council, as specified. This bill would , among other things, delete the provisions relating to the manner in which the Judicial Council allocates funding for trial court operations, and would instead require that the amount allocated to each trial court from the amount appropriated for trial court operations be equal to the pro rata share of the prior fiscal year's adjusted base budget, except as provided. The bill would require the Legislature, based on the information submitted in the Governor's proposed budget, and prior to the allocation of funds to each local trial court in accordance with the allocation schedule adopted by the Judicial Council, to specify, in each annual Budget Act, the funding amounts to be allocated for programs of statewide concern from the total funds appropriated for trial court operations by the Legislature. The bill would prohibit the Judicial Council, or its designee, from withholding or expending any portion of the total funds appropriated for trial court operations by the Legislature for any statewide information technology or administrative infrastructure program that was not identified in the annual Budget Act, unless the Judicial Council, or its designee, first obtains the written approval of 662/3% of a proportional representation of all local trial courts. The bill would require the Judicial Council, or its designee, to allocate 100% of the funds appropriated for trial court operations according to each court's share of statewide operational funding.

Summary: Under existing law, counties and districts, as defined, may provide retirement benefits to their employees pursuant to the County Employees Retirement Law of 1937. Existing law prohibits any resolution, ordinance, contract, or contract amendment under that law adopted on or after January 1, 2004, from providing different retirement benefits for any subgroup of general members within a membership classification, including, but not limited to, bargaining units or unrepresented groups, unless benefits provided by statute for members hired on or after the date specified in the resolution are adopted by the county or district governing board, by resolution adopted by majority vote, pursuant to a memorandum of understanding made under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. Existing law prohibits any retirement contract amendment from being imposed by the employer in absence of a memorandum of understanding made under the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. This bill would authorize the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) by its governing board, by resolution, contract, or contract amendment, to adopt and provide retirement benefits for its employees, including unrepresented employees, hired on, or after, the date specified in the resolution, contract, or contract amendment pursuant to the specified benefit formula.

Summary: Existing law, as amended by Proposition 83, the Sexual Predator Punishment and Control Act (Jessica's Law), approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general election provides that a defendant shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 25 years to life if convicted of rape, sodomy, or oral copulation and if, among other things, in the commission of that offense any person kidnapped the victim, tortured the victim, or committed the offense during the commission of a burglary, as specified. Existing law further provides that a defendant shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 15 years to life if convicted of rape, sodomy, or oral copulation and if, among other things, in the commission of that offense any person, except as specified in the provisions above, kidnapped the victim, committed the offense during the commission of a burglary, used a dangerous or deadly weapon in the commission of the offense, or under other specified circumstances. Proposition 83 provides that the Legislature may amend the provisions of the act to expand the scope of their application or increase the punishment or penalties by a statute passed by a majority vote of each house. This bill would additionally include the infliction of great bodily injury on the victim or another person among that list of circumstances that if committed by any person in the commission by the defendant of rape, sodomy, or oral copulation would subject the defendant to imprisonment in the state prison for 15 years to life. The bill would include related findings and declarations. Because the bill would change the penalty for a crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.

Existing law also provides that if, at any time during the probationary period, the court has reason to believe that the probationer is violating any term or condition of his or her probation, the court may modify, revoke, or terminate the probation. This bill would provide, in addition, that in lieu of revoking probation, the court, as a condition for continuing a defendant's probation, may order the defendant to post a bond from a licensed surety not to exceed $10,000 if the defendant was convicted of a misdemeanor and not to exceed $25,000 if the defendant was convicted of a felony, to secure compliance with any or all of the terms and conditions of probation. The bill would require the court, within 10 days of noncompliance with the terms of probation after a bond has been posted, to notify the defendant, the surety, and the bail agent of the probation revocation hearing. The bill would require the court to declare the bond forfeited if the defendant does not appear at the hearing.

AB 1320 ( Allen) Public employees' retirement: employer contribution rates. ( A-09/02/2011 html pdf )
Status:09/09/2011-Ordered to inactive file at the request of Assembly Member Allen.
Current Location:09/09/2011-A INACTIVE FILE
Calendar Events:
Summary: The Public Employees' Retirement Law prescribes employer rates for contribution to the retirement fund for the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). Existing law requires that the state's contribution rate be adjusted in the Budget Act based on rates established by the system's actuary. Existing law provides that the employer contribution rate for an employer other than the state shall be determined on an annual basis by the actuary, as specified. Existing law requires that the rate at which a public employer contributes to the system shall be based upon its experience, and not the experience of public agency employers generally. Existing law requires that all assets of an employer in the system be used to determine the employer's contribution rate. This bill, on and after July 1, 2013, would establish for each employer a Rate Stabilization Account in the Employer Rate Stabilization Fund, which this bill would create and which would be continuously appropriated to the Board of Administration of PERS for the purpose of stabilizing employer retirement contributions. By creating a continuously appropriated fund and authorizing the expenditure of employer payments, this bill would make an appropriation. The bill would provide that the board has sole and exclusive control over the administration of the fund and would require that the investment of fund assets be according to strategies established by the board. The bill would authorize the board, in its discretion, to establish administrative terms and conditions governing the Rate Stabilization Fund. The bill would provide that the Rate Stabilization Account is an employer asset, but it would not be counted as an asset for the purpose of determining the employer's contribution rate. The bill would require employers to make payments to the account when the actuarial value of assets exceeds the accrued liability, as specified, which would be calculated based on the employer normal cost of benefits and which would be credited to each employer's Rate Stabilization Account. Payments by the state would be made in the annual Budget Act. The bill would provide that the assets of the account be drawn upon , subject to procedures adopted by the board, to pay a portion of the employer contribution when the employer contribution rate is greater than the employer normal cost of benefits, as specified. The bill would provide that the employer is not required to make that additional contribution when the employer's Rate Stabilization Account exceeds an amount equal to 50% of the employer's assets, exclusive of the assets in the Rate Stabilization Account. The bill would provide that assets in an account would be invested according to investment strategies established by the Board of Administration of PERS. This bill contains other related provisions and other existing laws.
Laws: An act to add Section 31453.7 to, and to add Chapter 10 (commencing with Section 20860) to Part 3 of Division 5 of Title 2 of, the Government Code, relating to public employees' retirement, and making an appropriation therefor.
