Under the existing California Uniform Controlled Substances Act, controlled substances are listed on 5 different schedules. Existing law lists human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) as a Schedule III controlled substance. Substances listed as controlled substances are subject to various forms of regulation, including reporting requirements, prescribing requirements, and criminal prohibitions on possession. This bill would exempt hCG from being subject to the reagent regulations of the Controlled Substances Act when possessed by, sold to, purchased by, transferred to, or administered by a licensed veterinarian, or a licensed veterinarian's designated agent, exclusively for veterinary use.

The California Constitution creates the Citizens Redistricting Commission which is charged with the conduct of an open and transparent process enabling full public consideration of and comment on the drawing of district lines according to specific redistricting criteria. The Constitution requires the commission to establish single-member districts for the Senate, Assembly, Congress, and State Board of Equalization pursuant to a mapping process that, among other things, requires the districts to comply with the United States Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act. The Constitution also requires that, to the extent possible, each Senate district be comprised of two whole, complete, and adjacent Assembly districts and that each Board of Equalization district be comprised of 10 whole, complete, and adjacent Senate districts. This measure would modify the redistricting process for the drawing of Senate district lines by requiring the commission to establish 8 geographical regions that each include 5 Senate districts. The measure would eliminate the requirements that, to the extent practicable, each Senate district be comprised of 2 adjacent Assembly districts and that each Board of Equalization district be comprised of 10 adjacent Senate districts.
