Existing law authorizes a court to issue an order enjoining a party from engaging in specified acts against another party, including threatening or harassing that party, and, in the discretion of the court, against other named family or household members. An intentional or knowing violation of this order is punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2023, authorize a court to include in an ex parte order a provision restraining a party from accessing records and information pertaining to the health care, education, daycare, recreational activities, or employment of a minor child of the parties. The bill would require an essential care provider, as defined, to develop protocols relating to compliance with that order on or before February 1, 2023, and would require a discretionary services organization, as defined, to develop those protocols within 30 days of receipt of the first order. The bill would require the Judicial Council to develop or update any other forms or rules of court that are necessary to implement these provisions. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, the 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.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, prescribes various terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law defines "tenancy" for these purposes as the right of a homeowner to use a site within a mobilehome park on which to locate, maintain, and occupy a mobilehome for human habitation, including the use of the services and facilities of the park. Existing law, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, prohibits, with certain exceptions, an owner of residential real property from increasing the gross rental rate for a dwelling or unit more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, as defined, or 10%, whichever is lower, of the lowest gross rental rate charged for the immediately preceding 12 months, subject to specified conditions. Existing law excludes an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent from these provisions. This bill would extend the rental rate increase restrictions described above to any person having the right to offer residential real property for rent, including an owner or operator of any dwelling or unit in a mobilehome park. The bill would apply to rent increases for a tenancy in a mobilehome occurring on or after February 18, 2021, as specified. The bill would exclude certain mobilehomes from these provisions, including mobilehomes that are not owned by the management of a mobilehome park if notice is provided to the tenant, as specified. This bill would, until January 1, 2030, prohibit the management of a qualified mobilehome park, as defined, from increasing the gross rental rate for a tenancy for a mobilehome space more than 3% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, as defined, or 5%, whichever is lower, of the lowest gross rental rate charged at any time during the immediately preceding 12 months, as specified. The bill would define "qualified mobilehome park" as a mobilehome park that is located within and governed by the jurisdictions of 2 or more incorporated cities. The bill would prohibit management of a qualified mobilehome park from increasing the gross rental rate for a tenancy in more than 2 increments over a 12-month period, after the tenant maintains a tenancy over a 12-month period. The bill would exempt specified mobilehome spaces from these provisions, including, among others, mobilehome spaces restricted by deed, regulatory restriction contained in an agreement with a government agency, or other recorded document as affordable for very low, low-, or moderate-income persons and families and mobilehome spaces within a resident-owned mobilehome park. The bill would specify that these provisions apply to rent increases for mobilehome spaces occurring on or after February 18, 2021. The bill would provide that in the event that management increased the rent by more than the amount specified above between February 18, 2021, and January 1, 2022, then the applicable rent on January 1, 2022, is the rent as of February 18, 2021, plus the maximum permissible increase, and that management is not be liable to the homeowner for any corresponding rent overpayment. The bill would authorize management who increased the rent by less than the amount specified above between February 18, 2021, and January 1, 2022, to increase the rent twice within 12 months of February 18, 2021, but not by more than the amount specified above. The bill would void any waiver of the rights provided under these provisions. Existing law, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, prohibits, until January 1, 2030, an owner of residential real property from terminating the tenancy of certain tenants without just cause, either at-fault or no-fault of the tenant. The act exempts certain types of residential real properties or residential circumstances from these provisions, including, among others, housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years and certain housing that is not owned by specified entities, including a corporation or limited liability corporation in which at least one member is a corporation, if specified notice is provided to the tenant. The act defines the term "owner" to exclude an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent from these provisions. This bill would, for purposes of the just cause provisions described above, redefine the term "owner" to include an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent. The bill would exclude mobilehomes from the provision that exempts housing issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years from the just cause requirements. The bill would exclude certain mobilehomes from these provisions, including mobilehomes that are not owned by the management of a mobilehome park or any of the other entities specified above, if notice is provided to the tenant as specified. The bill would require an owner of a mobilehome subject to these provisions to provide written notice of these provisions to a tenant, as specified.

(1) The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law allow various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws, including a motion picture credit for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, to be allocated by the California Film Commission on or after July 1, 2020, and before July 1, 2025, in an amount equal to 20% or 25% of qualified expenditures for the production of a qualified motion picture in this state, with additional credit amounts allowed, including for amounts equal to specified qualified expenditures and qualified wages relating to original photography outside the Los Angeles zone, as specified. Under existing law, a qualified taxpayer, as defined, is required to provide certain information to the California Film Commission, including the specific start and end dates of production. Existing law does not require an applicant with a production that is an independent film, in filing an application for a motion picture credit with the commission, to provide a summary of the applicant's voluntary programs to increase the representation of minorities and women in specified job classifications. This bill would require a qualified taxpayer to provide additional information, including data regarding the diversity of the applicant's workforce, to be eligible for the motion picture credit. The bill would require an applicant with a production that is an independent film to include, in its application, a summary of the applicant's voluntary programs to increase the representation of minorities and women in specified job classifications. The bill would also require the commission to establish additional verification procedures for updating application information. The bill would require the commission to submit an annual report to the Legislature, beginning January 1, 2022, on aggregate diversity information for the productions allocated motion picture credits and the diversity of the motion picture production industry in California more generally. Existing law limits the aggregate amount of credits that may be allocated under the film credits to $330,000,000, as specified, and sets forth allocation percentages for various productions under the motion picture credit. This bill would increase the aggregate amount of credits that may be allocated for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 fiscal years by $15,000,000, and would make these credits exclusively available to television series that relocate to California, as defined. The bill would also increase the aggregate amount of credits that may be allocated for the 2021–22 and 2022–23 fiscal years by $75,000,000, and would make these credits exclusively available to recurring television series. The bill would require the commission to limit the amount of credits any recurring television series receives in a subsequent season, as specified, and would require the commission to make adjustments, except as provided, to credit allocations if there are certain tax credit shortfalls. This bill, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and before January 1, 2032, would allow a tax credit in an amount equal to 20% or 25%, or as modified, of qualified expenditures for the production of a qualified motion picture in this state at a certified studio construction project. The bill would provide that the credits be allocated by the California Film Commission in the same manner and time period as the existing motion picture credit. The bill would define a "certified studio construction project" for these purposes as a project that provides for the construction or renovation of one or more soundstages located in the state, as specified, and would require a taxpayer seeking certification of a studio construction project to make various certifications to the commission, including that the project is a public work or pays the equivalent of prevailing wages, as provided, and uses a skilled and trained workforce, as provided. The bill would allocate a total of $150,000,000 under this new tax credit, as provided. The bill would prohibit qualified motion pictures from receiving the credit if it receives a credit under the existing motion picture credits provisions, except as specified. By requiring a taxpayer to make specified certifications to the commission, which expands the scope of the crime of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law provides that if any deduction, credit, or exclusion provided in the Personal Income Tax Law or Corporation Tax Law is finally adjudged discriminatory against a national banking association, as described, is finally adjudged invalid, or is discriminatory under the California or United States Constitution, the tax of the favored taxpayer shall be recomputed by the Franchise Tax Board for the taxable year in question, as specified. This bill would state that this provision does not apply to a taxpayer for the invalidation of specified provisions of this bill. (3) Existing law requires, on or before January 1, 2023, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) to provide to certain legislative committees and the public a report evaluating the economic effects and administration of specified tax credits. This bill would change the due date for that report to May 1, 2023, and would require the report to include information relating to the motion picture tax credits. The bill would also require, on or before May 1, 2025, the LAO to provide to those legislative committees and the public certain workforce diversity information relating to those same tax credits. The bill would permit the LAO to request specified information from the California Film Commission and would additionally require the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration to provide information requested by the LAO. (4) 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. (5) This bill would include a change in state statute that would result in a taxpayer paying a higher tax within the meaning of Section 3 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, and thus would require for passage the approval of 23 of the membership of each house of the Legislature. (6) This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
