Existing law requires every limited liability company and every foreign limited liability company registered to transact intrastate business in this state to deliver to the Secretary of State a statement of information containing specified information. In lieu of filing the statement of information, if there has been no change in the information contained in the last filed statement of information, it may advise the Secretary of State that no changes in the required information have occurred during the applicable filing period. If the required information has changed, as specified, a current statement is required to be filed that will supersede any previously filed statement, as specified. This bill would require the Secretary of State, by January 1, 2024, to create and implement a procedure to transmit a notice to a limited liability company or a foreign limited liability company stating that an updated statement of information has been filed for the limited liability company or for the foreign limited liability company, as specified. The bill would also make other conforming changes and remove obsolete language regarding the operative date of these provisions.

Existing federal law provides for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) , known in California as CalFresh, under which supplemental nutrition assistance benefits allocated to the state by the federal government are distributed to eligible individuals by each county. Existing federal law establishes eligibility requirements, including specified income eligibility standards, for receipt of CalFresh benefits. This bill would require the State Department of Social Services, on or before July 1, 2023, and annually thereafter, to submit a request for a federal waiver to exclude the basic allowance for housing provided to specified uniformed service members from countable income in the determination of eligibility and benefit level for purposes of receiving CalFresh benefits. The bill would, upon federal approval of the waiver, require the department, in consultation with the County Welfare Directors Association of California, advocates for CalFresh recipients, and the Military Department, to issue an all-county letter instructing counties on updated eligibility requirements and benefit calculations for uniformed service members receiving a basic allowance for housing. To the extent the bill would expand the duties of counties, 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, 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.
