This measure would extend an invitation to the people of the region of Lviv, Ukraine, to join with California in a sister state relationship.
Existing law requires the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission to encourage the balanced use of all sources of energy to meet the state's needs. Existing law requires the commission to administer the Clean Transportation Program to develop and deploy innovative technologies that transform California's fuel and vehicle types to help attain the state's climate change policies. This bill would require the commission, upon appropriation by the Legislature for the bill's purpose, to establish and implement the Reliable Energy Needs for Everyone in the West Program to provide financial incentives for purchasing renewable propane, renewable hydrogen, or renewable dimethyl ether to customers in heating dominant climate zones in California where combustion fuels will continue to be the lowest cost and most effective means for providing space and water heating to buildings, as provided.
Existing law makes theft a crime. Existing law makes it a crime to knowingly promote, employ, use, persuade, induce, or coerce a minor under 18 years of age to engage in specified conduct. This bill would make it a crime to cause, promote, employ, use, persuade, induce, or coerce a minor under 18 years of age to engage in specified theft-related offenses. The bill would make this crime punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony, as specified. Because the bill creates a new 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.
(1) Existing law authorizes a court to order a ward who is 14 years of age or older to be committed to a secure youth treatment facility, operated by the county of commitment, for a period of confinement if the ward is adjudicated and found to be a ward based on the commitment of a specified serious offense committed when the juvenile was 14 years or older, that adjudication is the most recent offense for which the ward has been adjudicated, and the court has made a finding on the record that a less restrictive, alternative disposition for the ward is unsuitable. Existing law requires the baseline term of confinement to be determined according to offense-based classifications, as specified. This bill would prohibit a youth, following a youth's commitment to a secure youth facility, from being found ineligible for continued commitment to a secure youth treatment facility as a result of subsequent adjudicated petitions. The bill would prohibit a court from increasing a youth's current baseline term of confinement based on subsequent adjudications. Prior to filing a criminal charge based on in-custody conduct, the bill would authorize the prosecution to consider the interests of the rehabilitation of the ward, including, among other things, the extent to which the conduct is a manifestation of the needs for which the ward is receiving programming, treatment, and education pursuant to an individual rehabilitation plan and the impact on a potential baseline term reduction at a 6-month review hearing, as specified. (2) Existing law requires a court to schedule and hold a progress review hearing for a ward not less frequently than once every 6 months to evaluate the ward's progress in relation to the rehabilitation plan, as specified. Upon a motion from the probation department or the ward, existing law authorizes a court to order that the ward be transferred from a secure youth treatment facility to a less restrictive program, as specified. This bill would, upon request of the minor, require a hearing under these provisions to be conducted as expeditiously as possible once commenced.
This measure would designate the North Arm Newport Bay Bridge on State Route 1, in the County of Orange, as the Marian Bergeson Memorial Bridge. The measure would also request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources to cover that cost, to erect those signs.
This measure would designate the portion of State Route 14 from the Avenue 0-8 bridge at Postmile R62.151 to the Avenue M overcrossing at Postmile R64.678, in the County of Los Angeles, as the CHP Officer Andy Ornelas Memorial Highway. The measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost for appropriate signs, which shall include the star of the California Highway Patrol, showing these special designations and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.
This measure would designate the interchange at State Highway Route 405 and State Route 39 in the County of Orange at Beach Boulevard as the "Surf City USA" interchange. The measure would request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering that cost, to erect those signs.
