Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies and community development agencies as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the designation of successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies, subject to review by oversight boards, and to, among other things, make payments due for enforceable obligations and to perform obligations required pursuant to any enforceable obligation. Existing law defines "enforceable obligation" for these purposes to include, among other things, loans of moneys borrowed by the redevelopment agency. Existing law also provides that agreements, contracts, or arrangements between the city, county, or city and county that created the redevelopment agency and the former redevelopment agency are invalid and not binding on the successor agency, and are not enforceable obligations, with certain exceptions, including for loan agreements entered into within 2 years of the formation of the redevelopment agency. Under existing law, a successor agency may enter or reenter into agreements with the city, county, or city and county that formed the redevelopment agency, subject to the approval of the oversight board, as provided. This bill, notwithstanding the above-described provisions, would deem a loan agreement entered into between a redevelopment agency and the City of Atascadero between January 1, 1999, and January 1, 2003, inclusive, to be enforceable obligations for these purposes and provide that such a loan agreement binds the successor agency. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Atascadero.

Existing law requires a department or agency that employs peace officers to establish a procedure to investigate complaints by members of the public against those officers. Existing law authorizes a department or agency that employs custodial officers to establish a similar procedure for its officers. Existing law requires the department or agency to provide written notification to the complaining party of the disposition of a complaint made pursuant to those provisions within 30 days of the disposition. Existing law also makes the investigation records for specified complaints subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act. This bill would require a law enforcement agency or oversight agency to complete its investigation into an allegation of the use of force resulting in death or great bodily injury, sexual assault, discharge of a firearm, or dishonesty relating to the reporting, investigation, or prosecution of a crime or misconduct by another peace officer or custodial officer, despite the peace officer's or custodial officer's voluntary separation from the employing agency. The bill would require the investigation to result in a finding that the allegation is either sustained, not sustained, unfounded, or exonerated, as defined. The bill would also require an agency other than an officer's employing agency that conducts an investigation of these allegations to disclose its findings with the employing agency no later than the conclusion of the investigation. By imposing additional duties on local law enforcement agencies, 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.
This measure would commemorate the 50th anniversary of the federal Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The measure would additionally urge the federal administration to immediately declare a moratorium on all further wild horse and burro roundups, to establish management of these animals informed by independent science and the American public, and to restore a thriving ecological balance to California wild horse and burro areas and territories.
This measure would proclaim June 4, 2021, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
