Existing law establishes a system of child care and development services for children from infancy to 13 years of age and provides certain requirements for the payment by the state for these child care and development services. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to implement a plan that establishes reasonable standards and assigned reimbursement rates, as provided, and requires the standard reimbursement rate to be $3,523 per unit of average daily enrollment for a 250-day year, increased by the cost-of-living adjustment granted by the Legislature. This bill, on or before January 1, 2016, would require the Superintendent to review the plan that establishes reasonable standards and assigned reimbursement rates and submit recommendations to the Legislature and the Governor for a single reimbursement system that reflects the actual current cost of child care based on the most recent regional market rate survey. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2017.
Under existing law, a certified copy of a birth, death, marriage, or military service record may only be supplied by the State Registrar, local registrar, or county recorder to an authorized person, as defined, who submits a written, faxed, or digitized image request accompanied by a notarized statement sworn under penalty of perjury that the applicant is an authorized person. This bill would, if the request for a certified copy of a birth, death, or marriage record is made electronically, authorize the official to accept electronic acknowledgment, sworn under penalty of perjury, that the requester is an authorized person. The bill would require a method for the clerk to establish the identity of the requester electronically and would require a system used to process the electronic request and to establish the requester's identity to protect the personal information of the requester and to protect against identity theft.
Under existing law, every person who carries a switchblade knife upon the person is guilty of a misdemeanor. Under existing law, a person is guilty of carrying a concealed firearm when the person carries concealed any handgun upon the person. Under existing law, a person is guilty of carrying a loaded firearm when the person carries a loaded firearm on the person while in any public place or on any public street. This bill would make it a misdemeanor to carry a switchblade knife on or about the person. The bill would make a person who carries concealed a handgun on or about the person guilty of carrying a concealed firearm. The bill would make any person who carries a loaded firearm on or about the person guilty of carrying a loaded firearm. The bill would define the term "on or about the person" for the purposes of these provisions and would make technical, conforming changes. By expanding the definition of a crime, this 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
This measure would declare that the Legislature joins the County of Riverside in opposing base realignment and closure affecting the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division, and March Air Reserve Base.
