Existing law requires the court to order a person who is convicted of a crime to pay restitution to the victim or victims for the full amount of economic loss, unless the court finds compelling and extraordinary reasons for not doing so and states them on the record. Existing law specifically requires a defendant subject to the aggravated white collar crime enhancement, and a person convicted of a felony involving theft, embezzlement, forgery, or fraud, with respect to the property or personal identifying information of an elder or a dependent adult, to be ordered to make full restitution to the victim or to make restitution to the victim based on his or her ability to pay. This bill would require the court to order full restitution and would make technical, nonsubstantive changes. The bill would state the finding of the Legislature that these changes are declaratory of existing law.
This act would declare June 10, 2016, as Portugal Day to celebrate Portuguese national heritage.
This measure would recognize May 24, 2016, as Slavic Heritage Day.
Existing law provides for various programs to provide services for people who are homeless within the California Health and Human Services Agency. This bill would require a homeless services provider, as defined, to submit an annual report to the California Health and Human Services Agency that contains specified data regarding homeless children or youth and homeless persons. The bill would require the data reported to the California Health and Human Services Agency to be published on the California Health and Human Services Open Data Portal. By imposing new duties upon certain local entities to report this data, this 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, 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 these statutory provisions.
