Existing law, the 2011 Realignment Legislation addressing public safety and related statutes, requires that certain specified felonies be punished by a term of imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years, and provides for postrelease community supervision by county officials for persons convicted of certain specified felonies upon release from prison or county jail. As part of the realignment of public safety services to local agencies, existing law establishes the Local Revenue Fund 2011 into which specified tax revenues are deposited and are continuously appropriated for the provision of public safety services, as defined. This bill would require the Legislative Analyst's Office to prepare a report, to be submitted to the Legislature on June 30, 2026, evaluating the results of Assembly Bill 109 of the 2011–12 Regular Session over the previous 10 years. This bill would require the report to contain specified data, including the amount of funding received per county and how that funding was allocated, information on sentencing practices, the impact on the county jail population, information on postrelease community supervision practices, and recidivism outcomes.

Existing law authorizes an individual to contribute amounts in excess of the individual's personal income tax liability for the support of specified funds. Existing law allows a taxpayer to designate an amount in excess of personal income tax liability to be deposited into the California Senior Citizen Advocacy Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund, which is continuously appropriated to the California Senior Legislature for the purpose of funding the activities of the California Senior Legislature. Existing law requires the Franchise Tax Board to revise the return for taxable years 2017 to 2023, inclusive, to include a space for that designation, and repeals these voluntary contribution provisions on January 1, 2025. This bill would require the Franchise Tax Board to revise the return for taxable years 2017 to 2030, inclusive, to allow a taxpayer to designate an amount in excess of personal income tax liability to be deposited into the California Senior Citizen Advocacy Voluntary Tax Contribution Fund, and would extend the repeal date for these provisions to January 1, 2032. By extending a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation.

Existing law requires each county to provide aid to its indigent residents not supported by other means. These county programs are known as general assistance programs. Existing law requires the board of supervisors of every county to, among other things, investigate every application for relief from the funds of the county, to supervise every person receiving that relief, and to keep full and complete records of the investigation, supervision, relief, and rehabilitation. Existing law requires those records to be confidential and not be open to examination or inspection, except as specified. This bill would provide that those provisions do not prohibit sharing of confidential information for purposes directly connected with the administration of relief or with the administration of public social services, as defined.

This measure would express the Legislature's support for the creation of policies to decrease the rising number of deaths of Americans as a result of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) . The measure would declare the importance of enhanced public awareness of comprehensive cardiovascular screening programs to allow for earlier identification of patients at risk of cardiovascular events. The measure would also declare the importance of collaboration on statewide cardiovascular planning to accelerate quality improvements in care rendered to these patients.

This measure would designate the month of June 2023 as Immigrant Heritage Month.

This measure would condemn the November 1984 anti-Sikh violence in India as genocide and would urge the United States Congress to formally recognize and condemn the November 1984 anti-Sikh violence in India as genocide.

This measure would designate the Ayala Drive overcrossing at postmile marker 17.437 on State Route 210 in the County of San Bernardino as the Scott "Buckshot" Schwingel Memorial Overcrossing. The measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.

This measure would proclaim June 24, 2023, as Play Day and encourage all Californians to go out and play on that day.

This measure would declare the month of June 2023 as Alzheimer's Disease and Brain Awareness Month, recognize Wednesday, June 21, 2023, as The Longest Day, and would urge all Californians to commemorate the month of June 2023 as Alzheimer's Disease and Brain Awareness Month.
