This bill would instead require the Superintendent to make that funding allocation for each school district that includes a necessary small school in the current fiscal year or either of the 2 most recent prior fiscal years. The bill would require the funding allocation to be the greater of the amount calculated based on current year average daily attendance or the amount based on the fiscal year in which the funding level would be the greatest out of the 2 most recent prior fiscal years.

Existing law requires the public to have 21 calendar days to review and comment on a proposed planning agreement before department approval of the planning agreement. This bill would expand the time for public review and comment on a proposed planning agreement from 21 calendar days to 21 business days.
Existing law, the California State Safe Harbor Agreement Program Act, establishes a program to encourage landowners to manage their lands voluntarily, by means of state safe harbor agreements approved by the Department of Fish and Wildlife, to benefit endangered, threatened, or candidate species without being subject to additional regulatory restrictions as a result of their conservation efforts. Existing law requires a participating landowner to provide the department, its contractors, or agents with access to the land or water proposed to be enrolled in the agreement to develop the agreement, determine the baseline conditions, monitor the effectiveness of management actions, or safely remove or salvage species proposed to be taken. Existing law requires the department to provide notice to the landowner at least 7 days before accessing the land or water for these purposes. This bill would increase the notice period to the landowner to at least 7 business days.

Existing law specifies the entity or entities that may be established or designated by the board for this purpose including state accredited or certified chemistry laboratories. This bill would authorize state accredited, certified, or licensed laboratories to be established or designated for this purpose instead of state accredited or certified chemistry laboratories.
