Existing law expresses the intent of the Legislature that the University of California establish nonresident student tuition policies that are consistent with their resident student fee policies. The provisions are applicable to the University of California only if the Regents of the University of California act, by resolution, to make them applicable. This bill would require the University of California, in collaboration with the Academic Senate of the University of California, as a condition of receipt of funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act, to ensure that implementation of any admissions policy regarding admission of nonresident undergraduate students includes guidance that ensures the academic qualifications for admitted nonresident undergraduate students generally exceeds the academic qualifications of resident undergraduate students, and would require the University of California to report specified information to the Legislature annually regarding implementation of the policy. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Under existing law, taxpayers are allowed to contribute amounts in excess of their personal income tax liability for the support of the California Senior Legislature Fund until the year in which the minimum contribution is not received, or January 1, 2019, whichever occurs first. Existing law also contains administrative provisions that are generally applicable to voluntary contributions. This bill would repeal these provisions regarding contributions for the support of the California Senior Legislature Fund and would instead allow a taxpayer, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, to designate an amount in excess of personal income tax liability to be deposited to the California Senior Citizen Advocacy Fund, which the bill would create. This bill would require moneys transferred to the California Senior Citizen Advocacy Fund, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to be allocated to the Franchise Tax Board and the Controller, as provided, and to the California Senior Legislature for the purpose of funding the activities of the California Senior Legislature, as provided. The bill would require the California Senior Legislature's Internet Web site to report specified information, including all events the California Senior Citizen Advocacy Fund supports each year. This bill would repeal these voluntary contribution provisions by a specified date or, if contributions made on returns would be less than a specified amount, by an earlier date as provided.
The Corporate Securities Law of 1968 generally regulates the offer and sale of corporate securities within the state, and specifically makes specified conduct with regard to the offer and sale of corporate securities unlawful. That law requires the Commissioner of Business Oversight to perform specific oversight duties regarding the offer and sale of securities and provides that any willful violation of that law is a crime. Existing law prohibits any person from selling a security in this state by means of a communication that includes an untrue statement of material fact or that omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which the statements are made, not misleading. This bill would require the commissioner to adopt regulations to prohibit fraudulent and manipulative practices by persons undertaking short sales in the securities market. By expanding the scope of a crime, this 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
