This measure would urge the United States Department of Health and Human Services to rescind the new Title X regulations that will impede access to essential, time-sensitive health care for low-income individuals across California and the nation.
This measure would urge the 116th Congress of the United States to enact House Resolution 1708, which would, among other things, add 191,000 acres of the Rim of the Valley Corridor to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Existing law provides for the Medi-Cal program, which is administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, under which qualified low-income individuals receive health care services. The Medi-Cal program is, in part, governed and funded by federal Medicaid program provisions. Existing law provides that pediatric day health care is a covered benefit under the Medi-Cal program and that pediatric day health care does not include inpatient long-term care or family respite care. This bill would specify that pediatric day health care services may be provided at any time of the day and on any day of the week, so long as the total number of authorized hours is not exceeded. The bill would also authorize pediatric day health care services to be covered for up to 23 hours per calendar day.
Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to, as specified, immediately suspend a person's driver's license if the person is administratively found to have been operating a motor vehicle with a specified quantity of alcohol in their blood. Existing law authorizes a person who has had their driver's license suspended by the department to be issued a restricted driver's license if they meet specified criteria, including the installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device (IID) . Existing law, until January 1, 2026, requires a person, upon a criminal conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction for driving under the influence or for driving under the influence and causing injury, to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time. Existing law also authorizes a court, upon the first criminal conviction of a person for driving under the influence, to order the person to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time, or, if the court does not order the installation of such a device, authorizes the person to apply for a restricted license. Existing law requires the department to credit any time that a person maintained a functioning IID during the period of that person's restricted licensure, but prior to the criminal conviction, toward any mandatory term of maintaining such a device, required upon conviction. This bill would require a person, upon the person's first criminal conviction for driving under the influence, to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time. The bill would delete those provisions authorizing a restricted license in lieu of an IID for first offenders. The bill would require the department to credit any time that a person maintained a functioning IID during the period of that person's restricted licensure, but prior to the criminal conviction, toward any term of maintaining such a device, required by law upon conviction pursuant to the above-described statute. The bill would place certain recordkeeping requirements upon manufacturers of ignition interlock devices. The bill would also extend the operation of the law requiring IIDs until January 1, 2027, and make conforming changes to related reporting requirements.
This measure would designate the portion of Interstate 505 between the Interstate 80 interchange and the Vaca Valley Parkway in the County of Solano as the CHP Officer Kirk Griess Memorial Highway. 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.
This measure would urge Congress to swiftly enact House Resolution 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, to require background checks for all firearm sales.
This measure would urge the federal government to stop using ruses against immigrants, revise the tactics used by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) , cease the unjust detention of undocumented immigrants, end blanket raids against individuals thought to be without documents, and adopt a standard uniform for ICE officers that clearly identifies them as ICE when operating in California.
Existing law provides that either spouse may enter into any real property transaction with the other or any other person, and in transactions between themselves are subject to the general rules governing fiduciary relationships, which are the same rights and duties governing nonmarital business partners. Existing law provides that this confidential relationship imposes a duty of the highest good faith and fair dealing on each spouse and prohibits each spouse from taking unfair advantage of the other. Existing law exempts certain circumstances from these provisions, including, among others, situations involving waivers of spousal rights. This bill would additionally exempt at-death transfers between spouses by will, revocable trust, beneficiary form, or other instrument from the above-described provisions and any presumptions of undue influence arising from those provisions. The bill would clarify that other statutory or common law presumptions of undue influence may apply to these transfers.
