Existing law generally regulates security for a rental agreement for residential property that is used as the dwelling of the tenant. Existing law defines "security" for that purpose to mean a payment, fee, deposit, or charge that is imposed at the beginning of the tenancy to be used to reimburse the landlord for costs associated with processing a new tenant or that is imposed as an advance payment of rent, used or to be used for any purpose, as specified. This bill, among other things, would require a landlord who offers a tenant or prospective tenant the option of paying a fee in lieu of a security deposit to take certain action, including offer the tenant or prospective tenant the option to instead pay a security deposit. The bill would authorize a tenant who accepts an offer to pay a fee in lieu of a security deposit to terminate the agreement to pay the fee in lieu of a security deposit at any time and to stop paying the fee if the tenant chooses to instead make a security deposit in the amount that the landlord offers to new tenants for substantially similar housing on the date the tenant chooses to make a security deposit instead of paying a fee in lieu of a security deposit. The bill would prohibit a landlord who collects a fee in lieu of a security deposit pursuant to the bill from submitting a claim for damages or rental debt, as defined, to a third party unless the landlord has given notice to the tenant of the claim for damages or rental debt no later than 30 days after the date the tenant surrendered possession of the dwelling. The bill would provide that a fee in lieu of a security deposit offered pursuant to the bill is not "security," as defined in the provisions discussed above.
Existing law prohibits the governing authority of a school or other institution from unconditionally admitting any person as a pupil of any public or private elementary or secondary school, childcare center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center, unless prior to their admission to that institution they have been fully immunized against various diseases, including measles, mumps, pertussis, hepatitis B, and any other disease deemed appropriate by the State Department of Public Health, as specified. Existing law authorizes an exemption from those provisions for medical reasons. Under existing law, notwithstanding the above-described prohibition, full immunization against hepatitis B is not a condition by which the governing authority admits or advances a pupil to the 7th grade level of a public or private elementary or secondary school. This bill would remove the above-described exception relating to hepatitis B. The bill would additionally prohibit the governing authority of a school or other institution from unconditionally admitting any person as a pupil of any public or private elementary or secondary school, childcare center, day nursery, nursery school, family day care home, or development center, unless prior to their admission to that institution they have been fully immunized against COVID-19. To the extent that the bill would create new duties for school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. For purposes of the additional immunizations deemed appropriate by the department, and that would be mandated before a pupil's first admission to the institution, existing law requires that exemptions be allowed for both medical reasons and personal beliefs. This bill would repeal that provision, thereby removing the personal belief exemption from any additional immunization requirements deemed appropriate by the department. 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.
This measure would recognize the importance of California Native American Day, celebrated this year on September 24, 2021, and the annual California Indian Cultural Awareness Conference, to the enhancement of awareness of California Indian culture.
