The Z'Berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973 prohibits a person from conducting timber operations, as defined, unless a timber harvesting plan prepared by a registered professional forester has been submitted to, and is approved by, the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Existing law requires a timber harvesting plan approved on or after July 1, 2012, to be effective for a period of not more than 5 years, unless extended as provided. Existing law requires the notice of extension to be provided to the department not sooner than 30 days, but at least 10 days, prior to the expiration of the plan. This bill would instead require the notice of extension to be provided to the department not sooner than 140 days, but at least 10 days, prior to the expiration of the plan and would make a conforming change.
This measure would recognize the importance of access to local parks, trails, open space, and facilities for the health and development of all Californians and would declare the month of July 2014 as "Parks Make Life Better!" Month.
Existing law requires the case file of a dependent child or ward of the juvenile court to be kept confidential, except as specified. Existing law authorizes only certain persons to inspect the case file, including, among others, the attorneys for the parties, judges, referees, other hearing officers, and law enforcement officers, who are participating in proceedings involving the dependent child or ward. This bill would clarify that the authorization for those specified persons to inspect the case file includes persons serving in a similar capacity for an Indian tribe, reservation, or tribal court when the case file involves a child who is a member of, or is eligible for membership in, that tribe.
This measure would urge Congress to support legislation reauthorizing the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
