Under existing law, the Division of Boating and Waterways has powers and duties pertaining to beach erosion control, beach stabilization, and beach repair and restoration. Existing law establishes the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Fund, a special fund available upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of parks and resources improvement. The fund makes moneys available to the State Coastal Conservancy for specified and related purposes, including, but not limited to, the acquisition, enhancement, restoration, protection, and development of coastal resources, beaches, waterfronts, and public accessways, as specified. Existing law establishes the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund, a special fund available upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes, among other things, of the operation and maintenance of units of the state park system that have boating-related activities. This bill would appropriate $1,000,000 from the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Fund to the State Coastal Conservancy for a grant to the City of Port Hueneme. The bill would require funding be allocated for emergency measures along Hueneme Beach in the City of Port Hueneme to prevent severe infrastructure damage to streets and property caused by beach erosion and flooding, thereby making an appropriation. The bill would require, if the above projects concerning emergency measures are not eligible for the bond moneys, that, $1,000,000 from the Harbors and Watercraft Fund be allocated by either loan or grant to the City of Port Hueneme for emergency measures to prevent severe infrastructure damage to streets and property located along Hueneme Beach caused by erosion and flooding, thereby making an appropriation. This bill would make findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for Hueneme Beach. This bill would become operative only if AB 606 is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2014. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

The Subdivision Map Act requires a subdivider, at the time of filing a tentative or parcel map for a subdivision to be created from the conversion of a rental mobilehome park to resident ownership, to avoid the economic displacement of all nonpurchasing residents by following specified requirements relating to the conversion. In this regard, existing law requires that the subdivider obtain a survey of support of residents of the mobilehome park for the proposed conversion, that the results of the survey be submitted to the local agency for consideration, as specified, and that the subdivider be subject to a hearing by a legislative body or advisory agency that is authorized to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map. This bill would specify that the results of the survey are to be considered by the local agency in making its decision to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the map. The bill would authorize the local agency to disapprove the map if it finds that the results of the survey have not demonstrated the support of at least a majority of the park's homeowners. The bill would authorize local legislative bodies to, by ordinance or resolution, implement the survey requirements.
Under existing law, the family temporary disability insurance program provides up to 6 weeks of wage replacement benefits to workers who take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent, domestic partner, or to bond with a minor child within one year of the birth or placement of the child in connection with foster care or adoption. These benefits are payable for family temporary disability leaves that begin on and after July 1, 2004. This bill would, beginning on July 1, 2014, expand the scope of the family temporary disability program to include time off to care for a seriously ill grandparent, grandchild, sibling, or parent-in-law, as defined. The bill would also make conforming and clarifying changes in provisions relating to family temporary disability compensation. Under existing law, workers are required to pay contributions to the Unemployment Compensation Disability Fund, a special fund in the State Treasury, and those funds are continuously appropriated for the purpose of providing disability benefits and making payment of expenses in administering those provisions. This bill, by authorizing expenditure of money in the Unemployment Compensation Disability Fund for a new purpose, would make an appropriation.
This measure would encourage equitable and diverse gender representation on corporate boards, and urge that, within a 3-year period from January 2014 to December 2016, inclusive, every publicly held corporation in California with 9 or more director seats have a minimum of 3 women on its board, every publicly held corporation in California with 5 to 8 director seats have a minimum of 2 women on its board, and every publicly held corporation in California with fewer than 5 director seats have a minimum of one woman on its board.
This bill would recognize October of each year as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
This measure would urge the Congress of the United States to pass Senate Joint Resolution No. 10, an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that is subject to ratification by the legislatures of 34 of the states, to ensure that equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Existing law provides various circumstances that constitute oral copulation against an individual's will and sexual penetration against an individual's will, including an act accomplished with an individual who is not the spouse of the perpetrator where the individual submits under the belief that the individual committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with the intent to induce the belief. This bill would instead provide that these types of oral copulation and sexual penetration occur where the individual submits under the belief that the individual committing the act is someone known to the victim other than the accused. By expanding the definition of a crime, 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law provides various circumstances that constitute rape, including an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator where the person submits under the belief that the person committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with the intent to induce the belief. Existing law provides various circumstances that constitute sodomy against an individual's will, including an act accomplished with an individual who is not the spouse of the perpetrator where the individual submits under the belief that the individual committing the act is the victim's spouse, and this belief is induced by artifice, pretense, or concealment practiced by the accused, with the intent to induce the belief. This bill would instead provide that these types of rape and sodomy occur where the person submits under the belief that the person committing the act is someone known to the victim other than the accused. By expanding the definition of a crime, 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law, the Reproductive Rights Law Enforcement Act, requires the Attorney General to assume specified duties relating to planning, information gathering, and analysis with respect to anti-reproductive-rights crimes, as defined, including consultation with specified subject matter experts. Existing law also requires the convening of an advisory committee that is responsible for evaluating the effectiveness of existing law. Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to develop an optional course of training for law enforcement agencies regarding anti-reproductive-rights crimes, as specified. Existing law provides for the repeal of these provisions as of January 1, 2014. This bill would make existing law operative indefinitely. Because the bill would extend the operative date of provisions that would impose reporting requirements on local governments, 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, 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.
