This measure would commemorate the 50th anniversary of the federal Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971. The measure would additionally urge the federal administration to immediately declare a moratorium on all further wild horse and burro roundups, to establish management of these animals informed by independent science and the American public, and to restore a thriving ecological balance to California wild horse and burro areas and territories.

This measure would proclaim June 4, 2021, as National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

Existing law authorizes an owner of an estate in real property to commence and maintain an action for partition of the property against all persons having or claiming interests in the estate as to which partition is sought. If the court finds that the plaintiff is entitled to partition, it is required to make an interlocutory judgment that determines the interests of all owners of the property and orders that the property be divided among those parties in accordance with their interests or sold with the proceeds divided among them, as specified. This bill would enact the Uniform Partition of Heirs Property Act, which would require specified procedures in an action to partition real property that is heirs property, defined as property for which there is no written agreement regarding partition that binds the cotenants of the property, one or more of the cotenants acquired title from a relative, and meets one of specified thresholds regarding cotenants who are relatives or who acquired title from a relative. If a cotenant requests partition by sale, the bill would give cotenants who did not request the partition the option to buy all of the interests of the cotenants that requested partition by sale, as specified. If all of those interests are not purchased or a cotenant who has requested partition in kind remains after purchase, the bill would require the court to partition the property in kind or by sale, as specified. The bill would provide procedures pursuant to which the property is appraised. The bill would permit the court to apportion the costs of partition among the parties in proportion to their interests, but would prohibit the apportionment of costs among parties that oppose the partition, except as specified. The bill would provide that these provisions supplement existing law and control over existing law that is inconsistent if an action is governed by these provisions.

This measure would recognize June 19, 2021, as Juneteenth and would urge the people of California to join in celebrating Juneteenth as a day to honor and reflect on the significant role that African Americans have played in the history of the United States and how they have enriched society through their steadfast commitment to promoting unity and equality.
