(1) Existing law specifies the manner in which bonded indebtedness of a school district on general obligation bonds is reallocated among school districts when school districts are reorganized. Existing law, notwithstanding the provisions above, specifies the manner in which bonded indebtedness of the Wiseburn Unified School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District are determined upon the reorganization of the Wiseburn School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District by the formation of the Wiseburn Unified School District and the termination of the Wiseburn School District. Existing law authorizes the Local Public Schools Funding Authority, a joint powers authority created by the Wiseburn School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District, or the 2 surviving school districts, to issue school facilities construction bonds, as provided. Existing law, if the Local Public Schools Funding Authority maintains outstanding bonded indebtedness issued pursuant to specified programs, requires the bonded indebtedness of the Local Public Schools Funding Authority to be allocated to the Wiseburn Unified School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District, respectively, in proportionate amounts calculated based on the assessed value of taxable property within each respective school district securing repayment of the bonds. This bill would instead require the bonded indebtedness of the Local Public Schools Funding Authority to be allocated to the Wiseburn Unified School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District, respectively, for bonds issued before January 1, 2018, including refunding bonds issued thereafter and related to such bonds, in proportionate amounts calculated based on the assessed value of taxable property within each respective school district securing repayment of the bonds, and, for bonds issued following January 1, 2018, in appropriate amounts calculated based on the amount of proceeds of the bonds of such series expended for projects within each respective school district. To the extent these provisions would require local taxing authorities to perform additional duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 the statutory provisions noted above.

This measure would recognize June 8 as World Oceans Day, and would declare that the Legislature intends to act decisively in 2018 in regard to passing legislation aimed at reducing plastic pollution in California rivers, beaches, and ocean, and would further declare that the State of California is determined to seek additional ways to curb plastic pollution on those waterways and beaches, and in other natural spaces and communities.

This measure would recognize June 12, 2018, as the 120th Anniversary of Philippine Independence and would call upon the people of the state to observe the month of June with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities.

This measure would condemn the decision to end the Temporary Protected Status designation for El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Sudan.
