Existing law generally regulates classes of insurance, including pet insurance. Existing law requires an insurer transacting pet insurance to disclose specified information to consumers, including policy exclusions, a waiting or affiliation period, a deductible, coinsurance, or an annual or lifetime policy limit. This bill would require an insurer to include a written disclosure at the time a pet insurance policy is issued or delivered to a policyholder. The bill would require the disclosure to be printed in 12-point boldface type and to include, among other things, specified contact information for the Department of Insurance and for the insurer or the agent or broker of record.
Existing law requires a tenant or subtenant in possession of a rental housing unit under a month-to-month lease at the time that property is sold in foreclosure to be provided 90 days' written notice to quit before the tenant or subtenant may be removed from the property. Existing law also provides tenants or subtenants holding possession of a rental housing unit under a fixed-term residential lease entered into before transfer of title at the foreclosure sale the right to possession until the end of the lease term, except in specified circumstances. Existing law repeals these provisions as of December 31, 2019. This bill would delete the above-described repeal date, thereby extending the operation of these provisions indefinitely.
Existing law criminalizes various aspects of sex work, including soliciting anyone to engage in, or engaging in, lewd or dissolute conduct in a public place, loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution, or maintaining a public nuisance. Existing law, the California Uniform Controlled Substances Act (CUCSA) , also criminalizes various offenses relating to the possession, transportation, and sale of specified controlled substances. This bill would prohibit the arrest of a person for a misdemeanor violation of the CUCSA or specified sex work crimes, if that person is reporting that they are a victim of, or a witness to, specified crimes. The bill would also state that possession of condoms in any amount does not provide a basis for probable cause for arrest for specified sex work crimes. Existing law specifies a procedure by which condoms may be introduced as evidence in a prosecution for various crimes, including soliciting or engaging in lewd or dissolute conduct in a public place, soliciting or engaging in acts of prostitution, loitering in or about a toilet open to the public for the purpose of engaging in or soliciting a lewd, lascivious, or unlawful act, or loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution. This bill, instead, would prohibit introducing the possession of a condom as evidence in the prosecution of a violation of soliciting or engaging in lewd or dissolute conduct in a public place, soliciting or engaging in acts of prostitution, loitering in a public place with the intent to commit prostitution, or for maintaining a public nuisance, if the offense is related to an act of prostitution. This bill would make other conforming changes. The California Constitution includes the Right to Truth-In-Evidence, which requires a 23 vote of the Legislature to pass a bill that would exclude any relevant evidence from any criminal proceeding, as specified. Because this bill would exclude from a criminal action evidence about a person's liability for an act of prostitution that is otherwise admissible, it requires a 23 vote of the Legislature.
This measure would commemorate the American Legion for 100 years of service to the United States.
This measure would proclaim October 6, 2019, through October 12, 2019, as Latex Allergy Awareness Week in California.
