Existing law creates the Department of Industrial Relations, and establishes within the department the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) , which is headed by the Labor Commissioner. The DLSE is generally charged with enforcing employment statutes and regulations, either in administrative actions or through litigation. Existing law imposes various administrative sanctions, civil fines and penalties, and criminal penalties for violations of employment statutes or regulations. Existing law prohibits an employer or agent from collecting, taking, or receiving any gratuity or a part thereof that is paid, given to, or left for an employee by a patron, or deducting any amount from wages due an employee on account of a gratuity, or requiring an employee to credit the amount, or any part thereof, of a gratuity against and as a part of the wages due the employee from the employer, and requires the Department of Industrial Relations to enforce these provisions. This bill would authorize the Labor Commissioner to investigate and issue a citation or file a civil action for gratuities taken or withheld in violation of the above-described provisions, as prescribed.
Existing law requires the permanent office of the California State Auditor to be in Sacramento. This bill would additionally authorize the permanent office to be within a 2-mile radius of the State Capitol Building, thereby allowing the permanent office to be located in the City of West Sacramento. Existing law establishes within the State Treasury the State Audit Fund, which is a continuously appropriated fund for the expenses of the State Auditor. By authorizing the expenditure of moneys in that fund for additional purposes, this bill would create an appropriation.
(1) Existing law requires facilities that generate, treat, or store hazardous waste to obtain a permit or other authorization from the Department of Toxic Substances Control or a unified program agency. Existing law specifies that a hazardous waste facilities permit or other grant of authorization is not required for the treatment of laboratory hazardous waste generated onsite if, among other things, the laboratory hazardous waste is treated in containers using specified procedures and quantities for treatment of laboratory waste, as provided. This bill would specify the priority of those specified procedures. If those specified procedures do not exist, the bill would authorize the use of the manufacturer's written procedures if they are not in conflict with applicable rules or regulations. Existing law requires generators of hazardous waste to provide various notifications and certifications regarding compliance to the department, and to other specified entities, in person, or by certified mail, as provided. This bill would additionally authorize those notifications and certifications to be made into the statewide information management system. (2) Existing law provides for the regulation of underground storage tanks by the State Water Resources Control Board and defines "underground storage tank" for those purposes. Existing law excludes certain tanks from the definition of "underground storage tank," including, but not limited to, a tank holding hydraulic fluid for a closed loop mechanical system that uses compressed air or hydraulic fluid to operate lifts, elevators, and other similar devices. This bill would instead exclude from that definition a tank holding hydraulic fluid or dielectric fluid for a closed loop mechanical system that uses compressed air, hydraulic fluid, or dielectric fluid to operate lifts, to operate elevators, to act as an electric cooling or insulation system, and other similar devices.
The Political Reform Act of 1974 requires public officials to periodically file a statement of economic interest disclosing the person's investments, interests in real property, and income. The act defines "investment" to mean any financial interest in or security issued by a business entity, including, among other things, stocks and any partnership or other ownership interest owned by the public official or that person's immediate family, as specified. The act specifies that an asset is an investment only if its fair market value equals or exceeds $2,000. The act requires each public agency to adopt a conflict of interest code for designated employees of the agency. Existing law defines digital financial asset to mean a digital representation of value that is used as a medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of value, and that is not legal tender, whether or not denominated in legal tender, subject to specified exceptions. This bill, beginning January 1, 2027, would expand the definition of "investment" for purposes of the Political Reform Act of 1974 to include a digital financial asset, and would specifically require public officials to disclose interests in their digital financial assets, as specified. The bill would also require an agency's conflict of interest code to require designated employees to disclose interests in digital financial assets, as specified. Existing law makes a knowing or willful violation of the Political Reform Act of 1974 a misdemeanor and subjects offenders to criminal penalties. By including additional assets that must be disclosed by public officials on statements of economic interest, the bill would expand the scope of a crime and impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. The Political Reform Act of 1974, an initiative measure, provides that the Legislature may amend the act to further the act's purposes upon a 23 vote of each house of the Legislature and compliance with specified procedural requirements. This bill would declare that it furthers the purposes of the act.
The California High-Speed Rail Act creates the High-Speed Rail Authority to develop and implement a high-speed rail system in the state, with specified powers and duties. The act requires the authority to prepare, publish, adopt, and submit to the Legislature a business plan containing specified elements on a biennial basis and to also provide on a biennial basis a project update report, approved by the Secretary of Transportation as consistent with specified criteria, to the budget committees and the appropriate policy committees of both houses of the Legislature, on the development and implementation of intercity high-speed train service, as provided. The act requires the authority to develop schedules for the delivery of specified tasks relating to the Merced to Bakersfield segment of the high-speed rail project for inclusion in the project update report and the business plan and also requires the authority to include certain other information in the project update report and the business plan relating to the Merced to Bakersfield segment, as provided. This bill would require the authority, as part of the business plan that is due on or before May 1, 2026, to provide a detailed funding plan for the Merced to Bakersfield segment that includes certain information, including an updated estimate of the funding gap for completing the segment and a strategy for addressing the funding gap.
Existing law requires the county elections official to divide the area under their jurisdiction into precincts and to prepare detailed maps or exterior descriptions of the precincts. If changes or alterations to precinct boundaries are made, existing law requires the elections official to prepare new maps or exterior descriptions. Existing law provides that precinct boundary changes occurring less than 125 days before an election are not effective for purposes of that election. This bill would require the registrar of voters in each county to make available, upon request by any member of the public, a map in digital form provided free of charge that shows the effective boundaries of each precinct within the county. By imposing new duties on local officials with respect to elections, the bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Existing law, the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act of 1975, provides for the licensure and regulation of health care service plans by the Department of Managed Health Care, and makes a willful violation of the act a crime. Existing law provides for the regulation of health insurers by the Department of Insurance. Existing law requires a health care service plan contract or health insurance policy to provide coverage for behavioral health treatment for pervasive developmental disorder or autism. This bill would prohibit a health care service plan contract or health insurance policy issued, amended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, from requiring an enrollee or insured previously diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder or autism to receive a rediagnosis to maintain coverage for behavioral health treatment for their condition. The bill would require a treatment plan to be made available to the plan or insurer upon request. Because a willful violation of this provision by a health care service plan would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Under existing law, a person who solicits, or who agrees to engage in, or who engages in, any act of prostitution is guilty of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. Under existing law, if the person solicited was under 16 years of age, or if the person solicited was under 18 years of age at the time of the offense and the person solicited was a victim of human trafficking, the offense is punishable as a misdemeanor by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than one year and a fine not to exceed $10,000 or as a felony by imprisonment in the county jail for 16 months or 2 or 3 years. This bill would additionally make that increased punishment applicable if the solicited minor was more than 3 years younger than the defendant at the time of the offense. The bill would require a defendant subject to that increased punishment, if granted probation, to successfully complete an education program on human trafficking and the exploitation of children, as specified. The bill would make it a misdemeanor for any person to loiter in any public place with the intent to purchase commercial sex, as specified. The bill would make any person who violates that crime or who commits prostitution in exchange for providing compensation, money, or anything of value to the other person subject to an additional fine of $1,000, and would establish the Survivor Support Fund and require that additional fine be deposited in the fund. The bill would require the California Victim Compensation Board to establish a grant program to provide grants to community-based organizations that provide direct services and outreach to victims of sex trafficking and exploitation, and would, upon appropriation by the Legislature, authorize moneys in the Survivor Support Fund to be used for the purposes of that grant program. By creating a new crime and increasing the punishment of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law requires specified businesses and other establishments, including, among others, airports, intercity passenger rail or light rail stations, bus stations, facilities that provide pediatric care, and truck stops, to post a notice, as developed by the Department of Justice, that contains information relating to slavery and human trafficking, including information regarding specified nonprofit organizations that a person can call for services or support in the elimination of slavery and human trafficking. Existing law makes a business or establishment that fails to comply with the requirements of these provisions liable for a civil penalty of $500 for a first offense, and $1,000 for each subsequent offense. This bill would increase that civil penalty to $1,000 for a first offense, and $2,000 for each subsequent offense. The bill would require these fines to be deposited in the Survivors Support Fund. Existing law allows civil penalties to be imposed against a hotel, as defined, if a supervisory employee, as defined, of the hotel knew of or acted with reckless disregard of the activity constituting sex trafficking activity, as defined, that occurred within the hotel and failed to inform law enforcement, the National Human Trafficking Hotline, or another appropriate victim service organization, as specified, or if any employee of that hotel was acting within the scope of employment and knowingly benefited from participating in a venture that the employee knew, or acted in reckless disregard of the activity constituting sex trafficking activity within the hotel. Existing law authorizes a city, county, or city and county attorney to seek equitable relief against a hotel, and to seek a civil penalty of $1,000 for the first violation, $3,000 for a 2nd violation within the same calendar year, and $5,000 for a 3rd and any subsequent violation of sex trafficking within the same calendar year. Existing law authorizes a court to consider specified factors and exercise its discretion to increase the amount of the civil penalty, not to exceed $10,000, for any 4th or subsequent violation. This bill would additionally authorize the attorney general to enforce these provisions. The bill would increase the penalty for a violation of these provisions to $3,000 for a first violation, $10,000 for a 2nd violation within a 24-month period of time, and $15,000 for the third and any subsequent violation within a 24-month period of time. The bill would authorize the court to increase the amount of the civil penalty in an amount not to exceed $40,000 for a 4th or subsequent violation. The bill would require fines collected pursuant to these provisions to be deposited in the Survivors Support Fund. Existing law establishes the Office of Emergency Services, which is required to, among other things, allocate and award funds to communities developing and providing ongoing citizen involvement and crime resistance programs. This bill would require the office, to the extent funds are available for this purpose, to allocate and award funds to up to 11 district attorney offices that employ a vertical prosecution methodology for the prosecution of human trafficking crimes and that meet other specified criteria, including minimum staffing levels for the program. The bill would require the office, on or before January 1, 2028, to submit to the Legislature and the office of the Governor a report that describes the counties that received funding pursuant to this program, the number of prosecutions for human trafficking cases filed by the counties receiving funding, the number of human trafficking convictions obtained by those counties, and the sentences imposed for human trafficking crimes in those counties. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law provides for the California Transportation Commission to adopt locations for state highways on routes authorized by law, and describes the authorized routes in the state highway system, including that for Route 76, as provided. This bill would name and designate specified portions of Route 76 as the "Payómkawish Highway." The bill would require the department to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving sufficient donations from nonstate sources to cover those costs, to erect those signs.
Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district or county office of education to establish a catastrophic leave program to permit employees of that school district or county office of education, if specified conditions are met, to donate eligible leave credits to an employee when that employee or a member of their family suffers from a catastrophic illness or injury, as provided. This bill would extend the above-described authorization to the governing body of a charter school and would authorize the governing board or body of a school district, county office of education, or charter school to also permit employees to donate eligible leave credits to an employee impacted by a state of emergency that has been proclaimed by the Governor, as provided. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law provides for the exemption of authorized emergency vehicles from the payment of a toll or charge on a vehicular crossing, toll highway, or high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane and any related fines, when the authorized emergency vehicle is being driven under specified conditions, including, among others, the vehicle is displaying an exempt license plate and a public agency identification, such as "Police." This bill would include in the exemption of an authorized emergency vehicle exempt from the payment of a toll or charge a vehicle displaying an exempt license plate and "Ambulance."
(1) Existing law, the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, establishes procedures for the reporting and investigation of suspected child abuse or neglect. The act requires certain professionals, including specified health practitioners and social workers, known as "mandated reporters," to report known or reasonably suspected child abuse or neglect to a local law enforcement agency or a county welfare or probation department, as specified. This bill would exclude from the definition of "mandated reporter" a licensee, administrator, or employee of a community care facility that exclusively serves adults and seniors. The bill would require the State Department of Social Services, through the State Office of Child Abuse Prevention, to, by no later than July 1, 2027, develop, with participation from specified individuals, including, among others, county child welfare agencies, a standardized curriculum for mandated reporters, and to make that training available on an internet website. The bill would, except as provided, require an employer having one or more mandated reporters to encourage completion of the training by their mandated reporters within the first 3 months of the mandated reporter's employment, or on or before March 1, 2030, whichever is later. By imposing additional duties on counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law establishes the California Child Welfare Council to serve as an advisory board responsible for improving the collaboration and processes of the multiple agencies and the courts that serve the children and youth in the child welfare and foster care systems. Existing law requires the council to monitor and report the extent to which child welfare and foster care programs and the courts are responsive to the needs of children in their joint care. This bill would require the California Child Welfare Council to establish a Mandated Reporting Advisory Committee, with specified membership, including, among others, representatives from county agencies, and would state the intent of the Legislature that the committee ensure the transformation of mandated reporting to community supporting continues and disparities in the child welfare system are eliminated. By imposing additional duties on counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The federal Family First Prevention Services Act provides a state with the option to use certain federal funds to provide mental health and substance abuse prevention and treatment services and in-home parent skill-based programs to a child who is a candidate for foster care or a child in foster care who is a pregnant or parenting foster youth, as specified. Existing state law authorizes a county to elect to provide those prevention services by providing a written plan to the State Department of Social Services, which has oversight of the Family First Prevention Services program. Existing law requires the county to consult with other relevant county agencies, as specified, in the development of the plan. The bill would require each county's written plan to include the county's plans to provide information for mandated reporters regarding resources available to support families in their communities, as specified. (2) Existing federal law establishes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) , known in California as CalFresh, under which supplemental nutrition assistance benefits allocated to the state by the federal government are distributed to eligible individuals by each county. Existing law requires the State Department of Social Services to, on or before July 1, 2025, develop a methodology for estimating the CalFresh participation rate and identifying characteristics of Californians who are eligible for, but not receiving, CalFresh benefits, and to utilize that data to develop informed and targeted outreach strategies. This bill would delay the deadline by which the department is required to develop that methodology to July 1, 2026, and would also require the department to, on or before July 1, 2027, develop a strategic plan for how the department's methodology and outreach strategies may be implemented and executed to maximize benefits to those eligible for CalFresh benefits. (3) Existing law establishes the Home Safe Program, the Bringing Families Home Program, and the Housing and Disability Income Advocacy Program, administered by the State Department of Social Services, to provide certain homelessness- or housing-related assistance or supports to eligible individuals through grant awards to counties or tribes. Under existing law, grantees under the Home Safe Program and the Bringing Families Home Program are required to match the funding on a dollar-for-dollar basis but are exempt from that requirement during specified multiyear periods. This bill would indefinitely extend the exemption from dollar matching for grantees under the Home Safe Program and the Bringing Families Home Program. Existing law requires a grantee under the Housing and Disability Income Advocacy Program to seek reimbursement of funds, as specified, and to expend funds received as reimbursement for housing assistance only on additional housing assistance for clients receiving services under the program. Existing law waives the requirement to seek reimbursement of funds through June 30, 2026. This bill would indefinitely extend the waiver for a program grantee to seek reimbursement, as specified. (4) Existing law establishes the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, which may adjudge a child to be a dependent of the court under certain circumstances, including when the child suffered, or there is a substantial risk that the child will suffer, serious physical harm, or a parent fails to provide the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, or medical treatment. Existing law establishes the grounds for removal of a dependent child from the custody of the child's parents or guardian and establishes procedures to determine placement of a dependent child. Existing law prescribes various hearings, including specified review hearings, and other procedures for these purposes. Existing law requires a child and family team, as defined, to perform specified child and family determination functions. Existing law defines a child and family team meeting as a convening of all or some members of the child and family team and requires a child and family team meeting to conform to specified requirements, including, among others, that a notification be provided to the child or youth, their parent or guardian, and the caregiver upon the scheduling of a meeting, and that the child's court-appointed educational rights holder be invited to the meeting under certain circumstances. This bill would require the placing agency to document the occurrence and summary of the child and family team meeting on a specified form developed by the State Department of Social Services with any necessary redactions, and would require that a copy of each child and family team action plan completed on or after January 1, 2026, and not previously provided to the court, be attached to the above-described court report. By requiring additional duties of the placing agency, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) Existing law establishes a Tiered Rate Structure, as specified, upon which the per child per month rate for every child in foster care would be based. The Tiered Rate Structure is based on the use of the Integrated Practice-Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (IP-CANS) assessment tool, as defined. The Tiered Rate Structure includes 3 components, including an amount paid to the foster care provider for care and supervision of the child, as defined, a strengths building allocation to provide for a child's strengths building objectives, as identified by the IP-CANS, and an immediate needs allocation to provide for the child's immediate needs, and would establish 3 payment tiers, as specified. Existing law prescribes various duties of county placing agencies relating to the implementation of the Tiered Rate Structure, including, but not limited to, ensuring completion of IP-CANS assessments for every child and nonminor dependent placed in foster care under the care, custody, and control of the placing agency. Existing law requires the 3 components of the Tiered Rate Structure to become operative on July 1, 2027, or the date that the State Department of Social Services notifies the Legislature that the California Statewide Automated Welfare System can perform the necessary automation to implement the Tiered Rate Structure, whichever is later. This bill would instead require all placing agencies, beginning January 1, 2026, to ensure completion of the IP-CANS assessments for every child and nonminor dependent placed in foster care under the care and supervision of the placing agency in accordance with standards and guidelines developed by the State Department of Social Services. The bill would require the IP-CANS assessment to be informed by members of the child and family team, as specified. The bill would require the placing agency to ensure completion of the IP-CANS assessment and entry into the statewide child welfare information system for each child or nonminor dependent within 60 days of their entry or reentry into foster care or within 30 days in the case of an Indian child. The bill would require the placing agency to ensure completion of a new or updated IP-CANS assessment for each child or nonminor dependent at least once every 6 months and more frequently to address the needs or changing circumstances of the child or nonminor dependent as directed by the State Department of Social Services. Under the bill, the components of the Tiered Rate Structure will be effective on the date on which the IP-CANS assessment is completed and entered into the statewide child welfare information system or 60 days after the child enters or reenters foster care, whichever comes first. The bill would require, if the IP-CANS assessment is not completed and entered into the statewide child welfare information system within 60 days of a child's entry or reentry into foster care, the components of the Tiered Rate Structure to be effective retroactive to 60 days after the child enters or reenters foster care. The bill would specify the rates to be paid for the components of the Tiered Rate Structure, and require the entry rate to be adjusted, beginning July 1, 2028, as specified. The bill would instead make the 3 components of the Tiered Rate Structure become operative on July 1, 2027, or the date after (1) the State Department of Social Services notifies the Legislature that the California Statewide Automated Welfare System can perform the necessary automation to implement the Tiered Rate Structure and (2) the Legislature makes an appropriation for the express purpose of implementing the Tiered Rate Structure, whichever is later. Existing law establishes the Immediate Needs Program, to provide an array of integrated services and supports based on the immediate needs, as defined, of children who fall into Tier 2 or Tier 3 of the Tiered Rate Structure, pursuant to the IP-CANS assessment. Existing law requires the immediate needs funding for a child to be based on their tier, as determined by the IP-CANS. Existing law requires each placing agency be provided funding to support the Immediate Needs Program, and the State Department of Social Services is required to utilize a reconciliation process to adjust biannual funding as needed to ensure the placing agency has sufficient funding to provide for the immediate needs of each eligible child or nonminor dependent. This bill would instead require each placing agency be provided funding consisting of the total amount of Immediate Needs Funding for all eligible children and nonminor dependents in Tiers 2, 3, and 3+ who are under the placing agency's care and supervision using a methodology developed by the State Department of Social Services, as specified. By revising the duties required of placing agencies, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (6) Existing law authorizes the State Department of Social Services and the State Department of Health Care Services to issue all-county letters or similar instructions, as specified, to implement specified provisions until regulations are adopted. Existing law requires regulations to be adopted no later than July 1, 2024. This bill would extend the deadline by which regulations need to be adopted to January 1, 2030. The bill would also authorize the State Department of Social Services and the State Department of Health Care Services to issue all-county letters or similar instructions, as specified, for the purpose of this bill, until regulations are adopted no later than January 1, 2030. (7) Existing law establishes the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program, under which each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families using federal, state, and county funds. Existing law generally requires a recipient of CalWORKs to participate in welfare-to-work activities as a condition of eligibility. Existing law further specifies the sequence of employment-related activities a welfare-to-work participant is required to undertake, which includes a requirement that the participant receive orientation and appraisal, participate in job search and job club, be referred for assessment and establishment of a welfare-to-work plan, and participate in work activities. Existing law establishes a list of the activities that qualify as welfare-to-work activities for inclusion in the welfare-to-work plan, which includes, among other things, unsubsidized employment, adult basic education, and job skills training directly related to employment. Existing law also requires that necessary supportive services be available to participants in welfare-to-work activities, including transportation costs, which are governed by regional market rates as determined in accordance with regulations established by the State Department of Social Services. This bill would, among other things, require recipients to receive a combined appraisal and orientation to the welfare-to-work program, as specified, require counties to schedule for certain recipients an assessment that evaluates their strengths and skills, and require counties to regularly review the family assistance plan with the participant. This bill would revise the list of activities that qualify as welfare-to-work activities by, among other things, including barrier removal services, and would also make participation in job search and job club optional. This bill would specify that transportation services may include bus passes, mileage reimbursement, and car ownership programs, among other things, and would also specify that transportation costs include the payment for transporting a participant's children, as specified. The bill would require all payments for transportation to be advanced to participants, as specified. Existing law requires the imposition of sanctions, as appropriate, if an individual has failed or refused to comply with program requirements without good cause and conciliation efforts have failed. Existing law requires the termination of the sanction at any point if the noncomplying participant performs the activity or activities that they previously refused to perform. This bill would instead require the termination of sanctions if the participant indicates to the county verbally or in writing that they want to cure their sanction and begin participating in welfare-to-work activities, or the county verifies or otherwise discovers that the individual is or has been meeting the federally required minimum average number of hours per week of welfare-to-work participation. The bill would prohibit the imposition of sanctions during the first 90 days after an individual is determined eligible for aid, and would require, prior to the imposition of sanctions, the county to verify that the participant had secured childcare. The bill would make the above-described provisions operative on July 1, 2026, or, if automation is necessary, the later of July 1, 2026, or when the department notifies the Legislature that the California Statewide Automated Welfare System can perform the necessary automation to implement those provisions. The bill would authorize the State Department of Social Services to implement, interpret, or make specific the above-described provisions by means of all-county letters or similar written instructions from the department until regulations are adopted. By increasing the duties of counties administering the CalWORKs program, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law continuously appropriates moneys from the General Fund to defray a portion of county costs under the CalWORKs program. This bill would provide that the continuous appropriation would not be made for the purposes of implementing the bill. (8) This bill would appropriate $100,000 from the Federal Trust Fund to the State Department of Social Services for child welfare programs. (9) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. (10) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
