Existing law requires a county that provides services through its appropriate departments, boards, commissions, officers, or employees to any city pursuant to a contract or law, to charge the city all those costs that are incurred in providing those services. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2012, provide that, unless otherwise stipulated in the contract, if a city that contracts with a county for public safety services through the county notifies the county of its intent to terminate the contract, then the county is authorized to require the city to provide a comprehensive fiscal analysis relating to the ability of the city to provide public safety services, as specified. This bill would also express a legislative finding and declarations that its provisions shall apply to all cities, including charter cities.
Existing law requires the Department of General Services to maintain a complete and accurate statewide inventory of all real property held by the state, to update the inventory annually, and to categorize that inventory by agency and geographical location. This inventory is required to include specified information furnished by state agencies and the University of California. This bill would require that this inventory be completed and updated by January 1 of each year.
(1) Existing law provides that any person who willfully disturbs any public school or any public school meeting is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than $500. This bill would additionally provide that a person who willfully disturbs a public school or a public school meeting by creating a disruption that threatens the physical safety of school children coming to, leaving, or attending school is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more than $500. Because this bill would expand the scope of an existing crime, it would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 establishes the Orange County Transportation Authority, which is composed of 18 members, including 10 members from the supervisorial districts of the county elected by the Orange County City Selection Committee, as specified. This bill would, with regard to certain city members of the 10 members elected by the Orange County City Selection Committee, prohibit the city members from serving more than 2 consecutive terms on the authority, except as specified. The bill would also set forth the intent of the Legislature to increase the opportunity for cities to be represented on the authority.

Existing law prohibits a talent agency from refusing to represent any artist based upon the artist's race, color, creed, sex, national origin, religion, or handicap. This bill would, instead, prohibit a talent agency from refusing to represent any artist based upon the artist's sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.
Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, which are administered by the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law requires the board to employ and fix the compensation, in accordance with law, of assistants, clerical, and other employees as it deems necessary for the effective conduct of the work of the board and the chancellor's office. This bill would authorize the board to appoint an individual without permanent civil service status to a position classified as a career executive assignment, for the positions of vice chancellor or assistant vice chancellor, if the individual has a minimum of 5 years of specified work experience, previously held permanent status in the civil service, was employed by the Legislature for 2 or more consecutive years, or held for 2 or more consecutive years one or more nonelected exempt positions in the executive branch.

Existing law establishes the Department of Housing and Community Development which, among other things, administers various programs providing assistance for multifamily housing, emergency housing, farmworker housing, and home ownership and downpayment assistance. This bill would require the Bureau of State Audits, on or before January 1, 2013, and every 4 years thereafter, to conduct a performance audit of all programs funded through special or General Fund sources and administered by the department.
Existing law requires the Governor, in conjunction with the Governor's Budget, to submit annually to the Legislature a proposed 5-year infrastructure plan containing specified information concerning infrastructure needed by state agencies, public schools, and public postsecondary educational institutions and a proposal for funding the needed infrastructure. This bill would require the Governor to also submit the infrastructure plan to the Treasurer.
This measure adopts the Joint Rules of the Senate and Assembly for the 2011–12 Regular Session.
Existing law requires the California State University and each community college district, and requests the University of California, with respect to each campus in their respective jurisdictions that administers a priority enrollment system, to grant priority for registration for enrollment to any member or former member of the Armed Forces of the United States for any academic term attended at one of these institutions within 2 years of leaving active duty. This bill would also grant priority class registration to these members or former members of the Armed Forces, who are California residents, within 5 years of leaving active duty, as specified. Because the bill would impose additional duties on the California Community Colleges in evaluating an individual's eligibility for priority in enrollment, 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, 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 these statutory provisions.
