This measure would urge the President and the Congress of the United States to maintain the integrity of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to carry out its duties as intended to effectively protect consumers from abusive financial products and practices.
This measure would proclaim June 21, 2018, as Asking Saves Kids Day.
This measure would call on our state Congressional Representatives to voice their concerns on the proposed fiscal cuts to programs created by the federal Housing and Community Development Act. The measure would also call on the President of the United States and the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to protect and these programs, to veto any legislation to do so, and to work with the Congress to further protect these programs.
This measure would state that the Legislature strongly and unequivocally supports the existing fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards and California's federal Clean Air Act waivers; will consider any and all appropriate actions to maintain vehicle emissions standards for the protection of public health, California residents, and the economy; and strongly urges the President and Vice President of the United States, the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation, and the Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to reject the Safer and Affordable Fuel Efficient Vehicles Proposed Rule for Model Years 2021–2026.

Existing law requires a person convicted of 2 or more felonies to be sentenced to an aggregate term of imprisonment for all convictions at a sum of the principal term, the subordinate term, and any additional term imposed for applicable enhancements, prior convictions, and prior prison terms. Under existing law, a principal term consists of the greatest term of imprisonment imposed by the court for any of the crimes, including any term imposed for applicable enhancements. Under existing law the subordinate term for each consecutive offense is 13 of the middle term of imprisonment prescribed for each other felony conviction for which a consecutive term of imprisonment is imposed, including 13 of the term imposed for any specific enhancements applicable to those subordinate offenses. This bill would, with exceptions, as specified, limit the maximum term of imprisonment to twice the number of years imposed by the trial court as the base term.
Existing law provides for the establishment of an Independent System Operator (ISO) as a nonprofit public benefit corporation and requires the ISO to make certain filings with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and to seek authority from the FERC as needed to give the ISO the ability to secure generating and transmission resources necessary to guarantee achievement of planning and operating reserve criteria no less stringent than those established by the Western Electricity Coordinating Council and the North American Electric Reliability Council. This bill would require the ISO, on or before December 31, 2019, to complete a process for the procurement of long duration energy storage projects that in aggregate have at least 1,000 megawatts capacity, but not more than 2,000 megawatts, except as provided. The bill would require the ISO to develop a methodology for allocating the cost of that procurement to all load-serving entities within the ISO-controlled electrical grid, as provided. Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act is a crime. Because the provisions of this bill would be a part of the act, a violation of which 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. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
This measure would proclaim September 30, 2018, as Gold Star Mothers' and Families' Day in California.
