The Financial Information System for California (FI$Cal) Act establishes the FI$Cal system, a single integrated financial management system for the state. Existing law requires that the system include a state transparency component that allows the public to have access to expenditure data using an Internet Web site. Existing law limits that public access to information regarding General Fund and federal fund expenditure data. This bill would expand the expenditure data to which the public is required to have access using an Internet Web site to include special fund expenditure data.

Existing law, the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, establishes procedures for the reporting and investigation of suspected child abuse or neglect. The act requires certain professionals, including teachers and specified school employees, known as "mandated reporters," to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to a local law enforcement agency or a county welfare or probation department, as specified. Existing law makes reports of child abuse or neglect confidential and only authorizes the disclosure of the reports to certain individuals or entities. This bill would authorize the disclosure of those confidential reports to a teacher or school administrator, but only for purposes of disclosing information about child abuse reports filed by that teacher or administrator. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

(1) Existing law governs the procedure for issuing a warrant of arrest and requires that a declaration in support of a warrant of probable cause for arrest be a sworn statement made in writing. Existing law authorizes a magistrate to take an oral statement under oath in lieu of the written declaration if the oath is taken under penalty of perjury and recorded and transcribed, or, in the alternative, made during a telephone conversation with the magistrate. If the oath was made during a telephone conversation, existing law requires the magistrate to carry out specified duties in connection with issuing the warrant of arrest, as specified. Existing law deems the warrant signed by the magistrate to be the original warrant and the copy of the document transmitted to the declarant to be a duplicate. This bill would delete the authority of a magistrate to take an oral statement under oath made during a telephone conversation in lieu of a declaration in support of a warrant of probable cause for arrest and would eliminate specified related procedural duties of the magistrate. The bill would deem the warrant that is signed by the magistrate and received by the declarant to be the original warrant. The bill would make technical and conforming changes.
