The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act generally prohibits a manufacturer, winegrower, distiller, bottler, or wholesaler, among other licensees, or agents of these licensees, from paying a retailer for advertising. The act creates a variety of exceptions from this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee that, unless otherwise limited, is an owner, manager, or major tenant of certain stadiums, parks, entertainment complexes, and arenas, subject to specified conditions. Existing law requires the purchase of advertising space or time in this context to be conducted pursuant to a written contract with the on-sale licensee, with a specified exception. Existing law makes it a crime for an on-sale licensee to coerce certain licensees to purchase advertising space or time, as specified. This bill would expand the exceptions described above to allow beer manufacturers, winegrowers, distilled spirits rectifiers, distilled spirits manufacturers, or distilled spirits manufacturer's agents to purchase advertising space and time, in connection with described events, from, or on behalf of, on-sale retail licensees, as described above, at specified stadiums located in the City of San Jose. The bill, with regard to a specified fully enclosed arena in San Jose, would expand the definition of on-sale retail licensee to include an owner, manager, or major tenant. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of San Jose. 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 incorporate additional changes to Section 25503.6 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 2146 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2146 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.

Existing law requires the governing board of any school district to give diligent care to the health and physical development of pupils and authorizes the governing board of a school district to employ properly certified persons for the work. Existing law, the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) , an initiative measure enacted by the voters as Proposition 63 at the November 2, 2004, statewide general election, establishes the continuously appropriated Mental Health Services Fund to fund various county mental health programs by imposing a tax of 1% on incomes above $1,000,000. Under the MHSA, funds are distributed to counties for local assistance for designated mental health programs according to a specified county plan. The MHSA requires a county to use 20% of the funds distributed from the Mental Health Services Fund for prevention and early intervention programs, which includes, among other components, outreach to families, employers, primary care health care providers, and others to recognize the early signs of potentially severe and disabling mental illnesses. This bill would require a school of a school district or county office of education and a charter school to notify pupils and parents or guardians of pupils no less than twice during the school year on how to initiate access to available pupil mental health services on campus or in the community, or both, as provided. By imposing an additional requirement on schools of school districts and county offices of education and charter schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would authorize a county to use funds from the MHSA to provide a grant to a school district or county office of education, or to a charter school, within the county, for purposes of funding those notification requirements, and would authorize a school district or county office of education, or a charter school, to apply to its respective county for a grant for those purposes. 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.
Existing law regulates life care contracts, also known as continuing care contracts, and imposes certain reporting and reserve requirements on continuing care communities. Existing law requires each provider that has entered into a specified type of continuing care contract with an up-front entrance fee, known as a Type A contract, to submit to the Department of Social Services, at least once every 5 years, an actuary's opinion as to the provider's actuarial financial condition. This bill, until January 1, 2030, would instead require all providers to file an actuary's findings, report, and opinion with the department, and further require all providers to post a copy of that information in its facility and on its Internet Web site within 10 days of filing with the department. The bill would, on January 1, 2030, reinstate the requirement for providers that entered into Type A contracts to file an actuary's opinion. The bill would require each provider to conduct, at least once every 5 years, a review of the accessible areas that the provider is obligated to repair, replace, restore, or maintain within the facility, as specified. The bill would require the governing body of each provider to use the review to consider and implement necessary adjustments to its reserve account requirements. The bill would require each provider to submit to the department, at least once every 5 years, a summary of the maintenance and replacement review and the adjustments the governing body of the provider has made or plans to make as a result of the review. The bill would also require the provider to post a copy of the summary and adjustment plan in its facility and on its Internet Web site.
Existing law requires the Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation to keep up to date a comprehensive plan for the development of the outdoor recreation resources of the state for purposes of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965. Existing law establishes in the Natural Resources Agency the Blue Ribbon Committee for the Rehabilitation of Clear Lake, for the purposes of discussion, reviewing research, planning, and providing oversight regarding the health of Clear Lake. This bill would establish in the agency the Office of Sustainable Outdoor Recreation. The bill would require the office to undertake certain activities, including supporting the outdoor recreation economy of the state by engaging in specified activities. The bill would also require the office to create an advisory committee to provide advice, expertise, support, and service to the office. The bill would authorize the office to receive assistance and funds from public and private sources, and would require that the moneys received by the office pursuant to this provision or appropriated by the Legislature for purposes of the bill be deposited in the California Sustainable Outdoor Recreation Account, which the bill would create within the Office of the Secretary of Natural Resources. The bill would require, before the office could commence any program development activities pursuant to the bill, that an amount sufficient to administer at least 50% of the first fiscal year of the office's activities be deposited in the California Sustainable Outdoor Recreation Account.
