This measure would designate the interchange of Interstate Routes 80 and 505 in the County of Solano as the Lieutenant Colonel James C. Warren Memorial Interchange. The measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost for appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.

(1) Existing law establishes the California State University, administered by the Trustees of the California State University, and the University of California, administered by the Regents of the University of California, as 2 of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law prescribes criteria for the disclosure of the names and addresses of alumni of the California State University and the University of California. Existing law requires that the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of alumni be disclosed only to provide those persons with informational materials relating to the California State University or the University of California, and their respective programs and activities; to provide those persons, or the trustees, auxiliary organizations of the California State University, as defined, or the Regents of the University of California, or the alumni associations with beneficial commercial opportunities; or to promote and support the educational mission of the California State University, the University of California, the trustees, the regents, or the alumni associations. Existing law authorizes this disclosure only if the trustees, auxiliary organizations, or the alumni associations, in the case of the California State University, or the regents or the alumni associations, in the case of the University of California, have a written agreement with a business, as defined, that maintains control over this data. Under existing law, this agreement is required to obligate the business to maintain the confidentiality of the names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of the alumni, to require the university or the college to retain the right to approve or reject any purpose for which the private information is to be used by the business and to review and approve the text of mailings sent to alumni, and the business from using the information for any purposes other than those described. However, existing law prohibits the disclosure of alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of alumni who have directed the trustees, the regents, the board of directors, or an alumni association or auxiliary organization, not to disclose their names, addresses, or electronic mail addresses. Existing law requires the California State University and the University of California to make available to their respective alumni a specified form or an alternative notice, in a mailing or in an Internet posting, as prescribed, before alumni names, addresses, and electronic mail addresses may be disclosed that provides alumni the opportunity to opt out of certain disclosures of that identifying information. Existing law requires the form to be a separate document, except as specified. Under existing law, the above provisions are applicable to the University of California only to the extent that the regents or the board of directors act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would instead provide that this form may be incorporated into another communication piece intended for the target audience, or through a link to the form located on the Internet Web site of the trustees, the regents, the affected alumni association, or the affected auxiliary organization, as specified. (2) Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that, by July 1, 2014, the California State University and the University of California submit reports to the Legislature regarding compliance with the provisions described in (1) . This bill would repeal these provisions. (3) Existing law specifies that the provisions described in (1) are repealed as of January 1, 2016. This bill would delete those repeal dates, and thereby extend the operation of these provisions indefinitely.

Existing law, as amended by the DNA Act, requires a person who has been convicted of a felony offense to provide buccal swab samples, right thumbprints, and a full palm print impression of each hand, and any blood specimens or other biological samples required for law enforcement identification analysis. Existing law makes these provisions retroactive, regardless of when the crime charged or committed became a qualifying offense. This bill would expand these provisions to require persons convicted of specified misdemeanors to provide buccal swab samples, right thumbprints, and a full palm print impression of each hand, and any blood specimens or other biological samples required for law enforcement identification analysis. By imposing additional duties on local law enforcement agencies to collect and forward these samples, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law prohibits a judge from relieving a person of the separate administrative duty to provide specimens, samples, or print impressions required by the DNA Act if the person has been found guilty of an offense for which DNA collection is required. Existing law, added by Proposition 47, allows a person to petition the court for resentencing if he or she was convicted of a felony that was reduced to a misdemeanor by Proposition 47. Existing law requires the court to resentence the petitioner, unless the court determines that the person would pose an unreasonable risk to public safety. This bill would clarify that the prohibition on judges relieving a person of the duty to provide specimens, samples, or print impressions is not affected by resentencing under Proposition 47. 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 these statutory provisions.

This measure would proclaim and acknowledge the month of June 2015 and June of every year thereafter as Elder and Vulnerable Adult Abuse Awareness Month.

This measure would urge Congress and the President of the United States to expand the Humanitarian Resettlement Program to allow disabled veteran officers of the South Vietnamese Army currently living in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to enter the United States.

The measure would express the intent and commitment of the state to enter into a sister state relationship with the Province of Santa Fe, Argentina.

This measure would urge the President of the United States and Congress to permanently safeguard the currently unprotected North Fork of the Smith River watershed in Oregon from any mining activities that would have the potential impacts on water supplies, economies, or the environment in California's portion of the Smith River watershed.

The County Employees Retirement Law of 1937 sets forth the membership composition requirements for the board of retirement of counties subject to certain provisions regarding safety members. The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 9th members are required to be qualified electors of the county who are not connected with the government, except that one may be a member of the county board of supervisors. Existing law authorizes a retirement board, in a county of the 9th class, to appoint an alternate member for the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 9th member of the board, as specified. This bill would additionally authorize a county of the 13th class, also known as Ventura County, to appoint an alternate member for the 4th, 5th, 6th, or 9th member of the board. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Ventura.
