Existing law requires reports made by mandated reporters of suspected child abuse or neglect to include specified information. Existing law also provides that information relevant to the incident of child abuse or neglect may be given to an investigator from an agency that is investigating the known or suspected case of child abuse or neglect and to the licensing agency when it is investigating a known or suspected case of child abuse or neglect. This bill would provide, in addition, that information relevant to a report made relating to a child suffering, or in substantial risk of suffering, serious emotional damage may be given to that investigator and licensing agency.

Existing law generally prohibits the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages at a public schoolhouse or any grounds thereof. Existing law provides that this prohibition does not apply if the alcoholic beverage is acquired, possessed, or used during events at a college-owned or college-operated stadium or other facility, but specifies that the exemption does not apply to any public education facility in which any grade from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, is schooled. This bill would provide that the prohibition against the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the grounds of a public schoolhouse does not apply if the alcoholic beverages are acquired, possessed, or used during events at a community college-owned facility in which any grade from kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, is schooled, if the event is held at a time when students are not present at the facility. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 25608 of the Business and Professions Code proposed by AB 1860 and AB 1748, to be operative only if AB 1748 and this bill, AB 1860 and this bill, or AB 1748, AB 1860, and this bill are enacted and become effective on or before January 1, 2011, as specified. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Existing law imposes various requirements upon dog owners in rabies areas designated by the State Public Health Officer. Any person who violates these requirements is guilty of an infraction. Violation of these requirements also results in impounding of the dog by the local jurisdiction. Among the requirements imposed under existing law is that a dog 4 months of age or older must be licensed by the appropriate city, county, or city and county, and vaccinated for rabies, as specified. This bill would permit a city, county, or city and county to specify the means by which a dog owner is required to provide proof of his or her dog's rabies vaccination. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

This measure would continue the existence and set forth the membership of the California Task Force on Youth and Workplace Wellness, to perform duties to promote fitness and health in schools and workplaces. It would permit the task force to accept private funds and in-kind donations, require the task force to submit a report on its work to the Legislature on or before June 30, 2012, and provide that the task force would cease to exist on July 1, 2014, unless its existence is extended by a later enacted resolution.

The Subdivision Map Act authorizes a local agency to require the payment of a fee as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condition of issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing bridges or major thoroughfares if specified conditions are met. The fees collected are deposited in a planned bridge or major thoroughfare fund. If the benefit area of a bridge fund is one in which more than one bridge is required to be constructed, a fund may be established that covers all of the bridge projects in that benefit area. For the unincorporated area of San Diego County only, "construction" is defined to include design, acquisition of rights-of-way, actual construction, and reasonable administrative expenses, as specified. This bill would authorize a local agency to establish a fund for a benefit area that covers all of the bridge and major thoroughfare projects in that benefit area when that benefit area is one in which more than one bridge or major thoroughfare is required to be constructed. The definition of "construction" for the unincorporated area of San Diego County would also be applied to the unincorporated area of, and, in specified circumstances, to other specified areas within, Los Angeles County.
