This measure would declare February 19, 2014, as a Day of Remembrance in order to increase public awareness of the events surrounding the internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II.
Existing law establishes the Public School Health Center Support Program, pursuant to which the State Department of Public Health, in collaboration with the State Department of Education, provides, among other things, technical assistance to school health centers on effective outreach and enrollment strategies to identify children who are eligible for, but not enrolled in, the Medi-Cal program, the Healthy Families Program, or any other applicable program and technical assistance to facilitate and encourage the establishment, retention, or expansion of school health centers. This bill would require the State Department of Public Health to establish, within the County of Alameda, a grant pilot program within the Public School Health Center Support Program that would be known as Promoting Resilience: Offering Mental Health Interventions to Support Education (PROMISE) . The program would operate for the 2015–16 school year. The program would provide resources to eligible applicants, including local education agencies, nonprofit organizations, and community health centers, to fund activities and services to directly address the mental health and related needs of students who are impacted by trauma, as specified. The bill would define trauma for these purposes. The bill would require the department, within 60 days following the completion of the program, to submit specified information on the program to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature. The bill would require the department to implement these provisions only to the extent that funding is made available from nonstate resources, as specified. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2019.
Existing law states that it is the intent of the Legislature to occupy the whole field of regulation of registration or licensing of commercially manufactured firearms and that provisions of existing law are exclusive of all local regulations relating to registration or licensing of commercially manufactured firearms, as specified. Existing law makes a person guilty of carrying a concealed firearm under specified circumstances. Existing law makes a person guilty of openly carrying an unloaded handgun when that person carries upon his or her person an exposed and unloaded handgun outside a vehicle while in or on specified locations. Existing law specifies that those provisions are not applicable to a person who carries any handgun anywhere within the person's place of residence, place of business, or on specified property. Existing law prohibits a permit or license to purchase a handgun from being required of any person to purchase, own, possess, keep, or carry, a handgun within the person's place of residence, place of business, or on specified property. This bill would authorize the City of Oakland to enact an ordinance or regulation, applicable solely to its residents and in accordance with federal law, that is more restrictive than state law regulating the registration or licensing of commercially manufactured firearms. The bill would also provide that those provisions relating to the carrying of a handgun within the person's place of residence, place of business, or on specified property do not affect the application of the aforementioned authorization to the City of Oakland. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations regarding the need for special legislation.
Under existing law, the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is responsible for the administration of the state prisons. Existing law makes it a crime to engage in sodomy while incarcerated in a state prison and existing regulation prohibits inmates from participating in illegal sexual acts. This bill would require the department to develop a 5-year plan to extend the availability of condoms in all California prisons. The bill would require, commencing January 1, 2015, and contingent upon the receipt of donations by the department, that no less than 5 prisons be incorporated into the program each year, and would require a comprehensive plan to include every prison in the state by the final year. The bill would require all nonadministrative costs of the program, including the dispensers and condoms, to be paid for through donations. The bill would allow the department to decline to implement the program at a prison after specifying the reason in an addendum to the comprehensive plan if the department demonstrates that implementation of the program at a particular prison would be unsafe. The bill would make related findings and declarations.
Existing law requires that all claims for money or damages against local public entities be presented in accordance with specified laws, including, but not limited to, statutes and regulations. This bill would replace certain terms used to describe the laws relating to the presentment of claims against local public entities with the terms enactment and resolution, as specified.
Existing law makes it unlawful and provides that it constitutes an infraction for any person to violate, or fail to comply with, any provision of the Vehicle Code, or any local ordinance adopted pursuant to this code. Existing law also makes it a violation of the Vehicle Code for the holder of any specified dealer's license to advertise for sale or sell a used vehicle as "certified" or use any similar descriptive term in the advertisement or the sale of a used vehicle that implies that the vehicle has been certified to meet the terms of a used vehicle certification program if any of several specified conditions apply. Under existing law, those specified conditions include, but are not limited to, when the vehicle has sustained damage in an impact, fire, or flood, that after repair prior to sale substantially impairs the use or safety of the vehicle, when the dealer knows or should have known that the vehicle has sustained frame damage, or when the dealer, prior to sale, fails to provide a completed inspection report, as specified. This bill, 180 days after the enactment of regulations pursuant to portions of the federal Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) , would prohibit the holder of any dealer's license from advertising for sale or selling a used vehicle that the dealer knows or should have known is subject to a manufacturer's safety recall. The bill would prohibit the holder of any dealer's license from selling a used vehicle as part of a used vehicle certification program if the dealer knows or should have known that the vehicle is the subject of a manufacturer's safety recall. The bill would also generally prohibit the holder of any dealer's license from selling any used vehicle at retail without providing a written disclosure, in certain languages, indicating which, if any, of several specified conditions are present. By creating new crimes, this 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.
