The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA) , an initiative measure approved as Proposition 64 at the November 8, 2016, statewide general election, authorizes a person who obtains a state license under AUMA to engage in commercial adult-use cannabis activity pursuant to that license and applicable local ordinances. The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) , among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities. Existing law requires an applicant for any type of MAUCRSA license to provide a statement, signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is complete, true, and accurate. Existing law requires the issuance of MAUCRSA licenses to be valid for 12 months from the date of issuance and authorizes the license to be renewed annually. MAUCRSA prohibits a licensing authority from approving an application for a state license if approval of the state license will violate the provisions of certain local ordinances or regulations. MAUCRSA, until January 1, 2019, authorizes a state licensing authority to issue a temporary license if the applicant submits, among other things, a copy of a specified authorization issued by a local jurisdiction. MAUCRSA requires the temporary license to be valid for a period of 120 days and authorizes the temporary license to be extended for additional 90-day period at the discretion of the licensing authority. MAUCRSA establishes the Cannabis Control Appeals Panel and authorizes any person aggrieved by specified decisions of a licensing authority related to disciplining any license to appeal the licensing authority's written decision to the panel. MAUCRSA prohibits the refusal by the licensing authority to issue or extend a temporary license from entitling the applicant or licensee to a hearing or an appeal of the decision. This bill, until January 1, 2020, would authorize a licensing authority to issue a provisional license if specified conditions are met. By requiring additional applications to be signed under penalty of perjury, the bill would expand the scope of the crime of perjury, and would thereby impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the provisional annual license to be valid for 12 months and would prohibit the license from being renewed. The bill would require the provisions of MAUCRSA to apply to a provisional license in the same manner as to an annual license, except as specified. The bill would exempt the issuance of a provisional license from the California Environmental Quality Act. The bill would prohibit the refusal by the licensing authority to issue a provisional license or revocation or suspension by the licensing authority of a provisional license from entitling the applicant or licensee to a hearing or an appeal of the decision. 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. The Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act, an initiative measure, authorizes the Legislature to amend the act to further the purposes and intent of the act with a 23 vote of the membership of both houses of the Legislature. This bill would declare that its provisions further specified purposes and intent of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Sponsored bills
(1) Existing law establishes 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 federally qualified health center (FQHC) services and rural health clinic (RHC) services are covered benefits under the Medi-Cal program to be reimbursed, to the extent that federal financial participation is obtained, to providers on a per-visit basis. This bill would, on or before March 1, 2019, require the department to establish a stakeholder process to assist the department in developing guidance for a FQHC or RHC to determine whether a payment would constitute an incentive payment that is prohibited from being reimbursed. The bill would further require the department to issue the guidance developed pursuant to the stakeholder process on or before July 1, 2019, and apply the guidance only to all FQHC and RHC payments starting on and after that issuance date. The bill would authorize the department to seek necessary federal approvals and require the department to promulgate regulations to implement these provisions. (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law provides that civil actions can only be commenced within prescribed periods, based on the nature of the action. Existing law prescribes a limitations period of one year for, among other things, an action upon a statute for a forfeiture or penalty to the people of the state. Under existing law, this one-year period is applicable to an action to petition a court to impose a civil penalty for an intentional, knowing, or negligent violation of the Z'berg-Nejedly Forest Practice Act of 1973 (FPA) or any rules or regulations of the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection. This bill would instead provide that such an action is subject to a 3-year limitations period, if the action is for a violation of specified provisions of the FPA or a specified regulation of the board and is related to the conversion of timberland to nonforestry-related agricultural uses. The bill would provide that the limitations period for this cause of action does not begin until discovery by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Existing law consolidated within the State Department of Health Care Services all substance use disorder functions and programs from the former State Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs. The existing Adolescent Alcohol and Drug Treatment and Recovery Program Act of 1998, which authorized the State Department of Alcohol and Drug programs to establish community-based nonresidential and residential recovery programs to intervene and treat the problems of alcohol and other drug use among youth, became inoperative on July 1, 2013. This bill would repeal those inoperative provisions and would enact the Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults Substance Use Disorder Treatment Act. The bill would require the department to convene an expert panel on or before January 1, 2020, to advise the department solely on the development of youth substance use disorder (SUD) treatment quality standards, as specified. The bill would require the department, on or before July 1, 2021, to adopt regulations to establish youth SUD treatment quality standards, as specified. The bill would require each county to designate a single public agency that is responsible for administering the provision of youth SUD treatment services within that county. The bill would require the agency to, among other things, ensure, in conjunction with the county office of education and other local education agencies, that all programs in the county providing youth SUD prevention and treatment services are providing coordinated services. By requiring additional duties of local governments, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would additionally define youth SUD treatment services as including any publicly funded direct services intended to treat substance use disorders for individuals from birth to 26 years of age, inclusive. The bill would require a public agency or private entity that provides youth SUD treatment services after January 1, 2022, to comply with the standards adopted by the department and would limit which entities may provide youth SUD treatment services. The bill would, after July 1, 2022, require youth SUD treatment programs to be certified in accordance with the regulations adopted by the department. The bill would prohibit a county from contracting to provide youth SUD treatment services with an entity that does not comply with these provisions. The bill would require the department to report to the Legislature regarding the standards on or before January 1, 2023, and annually thereafter. 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city or county to establish a procedure to use a nuisance abatement lien or a special assessment to collect abatement costs and related administrative costs. This bill would authorize, until January 1, 2024, the legislative body of a city or county to also collect fines for specified violations related to the nuisance abatement using a nuisance abatement lien or a special assessment. The bill would require any fines or penalties related to nuisance abatement that are recovered pursuant to these provisions to be used for specified purposes relating to supporting local enforcement of state and local building and fire code standards. The bill would require the city or county to create a process for granting a hardship waiver, to reduce the amount of the fine, upon a specified showing by the responsible person. The bill would also require the enforcing entity to provide a reasonable amount of time, as specified, to a person responsible for a continuing violation to correct or remedy the violation prior to the imposition of penalties, except where the violation creates an immediate danger to health or safety.
(1) Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency, and local officials and local governments to proclaim a local emergency, when specified conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist, and authorizes the Governor or the appropriate local government to exercise certain powers in response to that emergency. Existing law authorizes the Governor, during a state of emergency, to direct all state agencies to utilize and employ state personnel, equipment, and facilities to perform activities that are designed to prevent or alleviate actual and threatened damage due to that emergency. Existing law authorizes a state agency so directed to expend any of the moneys that have been appropriated to it in order to perform that activity. This bill would authorize the Governor, during a state of emergency, to direct all state agencies to utilize, employ, and direct state personnel, equipment, and facilities for the performance of any and all activities that are designed to allow community clinics and health centers to provide and receive reimbursement for services provided during or immediately following the emergency. The bill would authorize any agency directed by the Governor to perform those activities to expend any of the moneys that have been appropriated to it in order to perform those activities, irrespective of the particular purpose for which the moneys were originally appropriated. (2) Existing law, the Pharmacy Law provides for the licensure and regulation of pharmacists and pharmacies by the California State Board of Pharmacy. Existing law authorizes a pharmacy to furnish dangerous drugs only to specified persons or entities, and subjects certain pharmacies and persons who violate the provision to specified fines. Existing law authorizes a pharmacist to, in good faith, furnish a dangerous drug or device in reasonable quantities without a prescription during a federal, state, or local emergency, in order to further the health and safety of the public by complying with certain record-keeping requirements, and authorizes the board to waive any application of the Pharmacy Law during an emergency if the board determines that the waiver will aid in the protection of the public health or the provision of patient care. Existing law requires the board, during a declared federal, state, or local emergency, to allow for the employment of a mobile pharmacy in impacted areas under specified conditions, and authorizes the board to allow the temporary use of a mobile pharmacy when a pharmacy is destroyed or damaged under specified conditions. The Pharmacy Law authorizes certain clinics to purchase drugs at wholesale for administration or dispensing, under the direction of a physician or surgeon, to patients registered for care at the clinic, provided those clinics obtain a license from the board and comply with various requirements. This bill would expand the emergency provision described above to authorize a clinic licensed by the board to purchase drugs at wholesale for administration or dispensing to patients to furnish dangerous drugs or devices in reasonable quantities without a prescription during a federal, state, or local emergency, subject to the standards that apply to pharmacists as described above. The bill would also require the board, during an emergency, to allow for the employment of a mobile pharmacy clinic in impacted areas under specified conditions that are similar to the conditions that apply to a mobile pharmacy. The bill would authorize the board to continue to waive application of any provision of the Pharmacy Law for up to 90 days following the termination of the emergency if, in the board's opinion, the continued waiver will aid in the protection of public health or the provision of patient care. The bill would also make conforming changes.
Existing law authorizes cities and counties, subject to certain limitations and approval requirements, to levy a transactions and use tax for general or specific purposes, in accordance with the procedures and requirements set forth in the Transactions and Use Tax Law, including a requirement that the combined rate of all taxes that may be imposed in accordance with that law in the county not exceed 2%. This bill would authorize the County of Sonoma or any city within the county to impose a transactions and use tax for general purposes, and the county, any city within the county, or the Sonoma County Transportation Authority to impose a transactions and use tax for specific purposes, at a rate of no more than 1% that, in combination with other transactions and use taxes, would exceed the above-described combined rate limit of 2%, if certain requirements are met. The bill would repeal this authorization on January 1, 2026, if an ordinance proposing the tax has not been approved by that date. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Sonoma.
Existing law regulates the manufacture, distribution, and labeling of commercial feed, and requires the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to enforce those provisions and the regulations adopted pursuant to those provisions. Existing law provides that generally a violation of a provision relating to commercial feed, or the regulations adopted by the Department of Food and Agriculture related to commercial feed, is a misdemeanor. Existing law provides that the sale or distribution of commercial feed without a label, the sale or distribution of commercial feed that is deemed to bear or contain a poisonous, deleterious, or nonnutritive substance in amounts that are specified as being unsafe, or the manufacture or distribution of commercial feed without a valid license, are punishable as infractions, except as specified. Under existing law, unless a different penalty is expressly provided, a violation of any provision of the Food and Agricultural Code is a misdemeanor. This bill would eliminate the provisions specifying different criminal penalties for a violation of commercial feed provisions. The bill would provide that it is unlawful for any person to manufacture or distribute in this state any commercial feed without complying with these provisions and regulations adopted relating to commercial feed. By changing the penalty for a crime and by expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law authorizes the secretary to levy a civil penalty against a person who violates certain provisions relating to commercial feed in an amount not to exceed $500 for each violation in lieu of any other penalty. Existing law requires a person charged with a violation to receive notice of the nature of the violation before a civil penalty is levied. Existing law requires any funds recovered by levying the civil penalty to be deposited in a special account in the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund and provides that the funds are continuously appropriated to cover costs related to the enforcement of provisions relating to agricultural chemicals, livestock remedies, and commercial feed. This bill would eliminate these requirements on civil penalties and the maximum amount for a civil penalty. The bill would require the department to levy an administrative penalty against a person who violates any provisions or regulations relating to commercial feed in an amount of not more than $5,000 for the first violation and not less than $5,000 for each subsequent violation. The bill would authorize the secretary to issue a notice of warning, in lieu of an administrative penalty, upon a finding that the violation is minor or unintentional. The bill would require funds recovered by the secretary to be deposited in a special account in the Department of Food and Agriculture Fund and provide that those funds are continuously appropriated to the department to cover costs related to the enforcement of commercial feed provisions. The bill would require the department to be entitled to receive reimbursement from any person found in violation of the commercial feed provisions for any reasonable attorney's fees and other related costs. By establishing a new penalty, the revenue from which is deposited into a continuously appropriated fund, the bill would make an appropriation. Existing law authorizes the secretary, after a hearing, to refuse to issue or renew, or to suspend or revoke, a license for a violation of the laws and regulations relating to commercial feed. This bill would authorize a person against whom a licensing action is initiated to appeal to the secretary by requesting a hearing and, if a hearing is not requested, the licensing action would constitute a final and nonreviewable order. Existing law requires any lot of commercial feed that is seized and held, unless previously analyzed, to be sampled and promptly analyzed within a reasonable period of time, for the purpose of determining if the commercial feed is, in fact, in violation of provisions or regulations relating to commercial feed. This bill would authorize the secretary to prohibit a person from obtaining a license to sell commercial feed for 3 years if the person is found to adulterate, misbrand, or alter any commercial feed with the result that the feed would be inconsistent with the label claims or whose commercial feed is seized and determined to be in violation of provisions or regulations relating to commercial feed. This bill would recast certain provisions relating to commercial feed and make other nonsubstantive changes. 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 provides that no person shall use a vessel to take, possess, or land Dungeness crab for commercial purposes using Dungeness crab traps without a Dungeness crab vessel permit. Existing law sets forth the qualifications for initial issuance of a permit, including a person's history of participating in the Dungeness crab fishery before the establishment of the permit program, provides that one category of permit issued pursuant to those provisions shall become null and void upon the death of the permittee, and provides a penalty for submitting false information in connection with initial issuance of the permit. Existing law provides for renewal of a permit. Existing law requires the owner of a permitted vessel to transfer the permit upon sale to the person purchasing the vessel. Existing law authorizes the owner of a permitted vessel to transfer the permit to a replacement vessel of equivalent capacity and authorizes a one-time transfer of the permit to a larger vessel that is 5 feet, 10 feet, or up to 20 feet longer, as provided, in length overall than the originally permitted vessel. This bill would delete the provisions relating to the initial issuance of a permit, except for the provision that makes one category of permit null and void upon the death of the permittee. The bill would prohibit issuance of a new, original Dungeness crab vessel permit and provide that a permit may only be issued pursuant to renewal or transfer of an existing permit. The bill would define the length overall of a vessel as the horizontal distance between the forward-most and after-most points on the hull, without including attachments fixed to the stern and bow. The bill would prohibit the transfer of a permit upon sale if the vessel is more than 5 feet longer in length overall than the baseline length on the permit, as specified. For transfer of a permit to a larger vessel, the bill would provide for the greater length overall to be determined in relation to the baseline length on the permit instead of the length overall of the originally permitted vessel. Under the bill, the baseline length on the permit would be either the length overall of the originally permitted vessel, as originally documented on the permit, or the current length overall of the current vessel, if the permitholder submits to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, on or before March 31, 2020, a survey reflecting a greater current length overall than the originally documented length. (2) Existing law establishes the Ocean Protection Council and requires the council to, among other things, coordinate activities of state agencies that are related to the protection and conservation of coastal waters and ocean ecosystems to improve the effectiveness of state efforts to protect ocean resources within existing fiscal limitations. Existing law requires the council to make a grant, upon appropriation of funding by the Legislature, for the development and administration of a Dungeness crab task force. Existing law requires the task force, among other things, to review and evaluate Dungeness crab management measures, with the objective of making initial recommendations by January 15, 2015, and final recommendations by January 15, 2017, related to the Dungeness crab fishery to the Joint Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Fish and Game Commission. Existing law requires the Director of Fish and Wildlife to adopt a program for Dungeness crab trap limits for all California permits and establishes a procedure for initial implementation of the program after submission of the proposed program to, and review by, the Dungeness crab task force. Existing law requires the director to make specified allocations of crab trap tags under the program. Existing law establishes procedures for a Dungeness crab permitholder to submit, by March 31, 2014, an appeal to increase a trap tag allocation and to apply for waiver of appeal fees. Existing law also establishes appeal procedures to reduce, instead of increase, a trap tag allocation. Existing law requires participants in the program to pay a $5 crab trap tag fee and a $1,000 crab trap limit fee, as provided. Existing law creates the Dungeness Crab Account in the Fish and Game Preservation Fund, and requires the fees collected to be deposited in that account, to be used by the department, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for administering and enforcing the program. This bill would require the task force to make recommendations related to the Dungeness crab fishery by January 15, 2022, and by January 15 of every third year thereafter through 2028. The bill would delete the provisions establishing procedures for initial implementation of the program, for applying for waiver of appeal fees, and for submission of an appeal to reduce a trap tag allocation. The bill would require that, in each fiscal year through the 2029 fiscal year, after allocation of funding to the department from the Dungeness Crab Account, $150,000, if available, of the amount remaining in the account be allocated, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the Ocean Protection Council to support the administration and facilitation of the Dungeness crab task force. (3) Under existing law, the Dungeness crab task force is comprised of 27 members, including 10 nonelected voting and nonvoting members representing the Department of Fish and Wildlife, University of California Sea Grant, sport fishing interests, crab processing interests, commercial passenger fishing vessel interests, and nongovernmental organization interests, as specified, and 17 voting members elected in specified ports to represent commercial fishery interests in those ports at specified production levels. This bill would provide for the representatives of the department and University of California Sea Grant to be appointed by the department and University of California Sea Grant, respectively, and for the remaining nonelected members to be appointed by the Ocean Protection Council following a public solicitation for nominations. The bill would make one of the 2 members representing sport fishing interests a nonvoting member. The bill would revise the number of elected members representing commercial fishery interests in each port and would specify the number of elected members representing upper production levels or lower production levels, or both, in each port based on the total number of elected members representing the port. The bill would provide for elections to be held every 3 years in each port, on a staggered basis across ports, in coordination with the department or council and with support from an administrative team of the task force. The bill would provide for the appointment of alternates and would specify procedures in case a member's position becomes vacant. (4) Existing law prohibits a person from taking, possessing onboard, or landing Dungeness crab for commercial purposes from a vessel in specified waters, including, respectively, ocean waters in certain California fish and game districts, ocean waters south of the border between Oregon and California, ocean waters north of the border between Oregon and California, or ocean waters off Washington, Oregon, or California, for 30 days after the opening of the Dungeness crab fishing season in those waters if the opening of Dungeness crab season has been delayed in those waters and the same vessel was used to take, possess, or land Dungeness crab in specified waters outside of those respective waters. Existing law requires the Fish and Game Commission to revoke the Dungeness crab vessel permit of any person who violates these provisions. This bill would instead prohibit a person from taking, possessing onboard, or landing Dungeness crab for commercial purposes from a vessel in any ocean waters, regardless of the location of those waters, until 30 days after the opening of those waters for the commercial Dungeness crab fishing season, if the opening of those waters for the season has been delayed and the same vessel was used to take, possess, or land Dungeness crab for commercial purposes from ocean waters outside of the delayed waters. The bill would specify the circumstances in which a delay has occurred for the purposes of this provision. (5) Existing law authorizes the Director of Fish and Wildlife to order a delay in the opening of the Dungeness crab fishery after December 1 in Fish and Game Districts 6, 7, 8, and 9 in any year, through a date no later than January 15, pending the outcome of quality tests. Existing law prohibits these quality tests from being conducted after January 1. This bill would instead authorize quality tests to be conducted through January 15. (6) Existing law authorizes the Director of Fish and Wildlife to order the closure of any waters or otherwise restrict the taking under a fishing license in state waters of any species of fish if the Director of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, in consultation with the State Public Health Officer, determines that the species or subspecies of fish is likely to pose a human health risk from high levels of toxic substances. Existing law provides for the Director of Fish and Wildlife, upon receiving notification from the Director of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment that a human health risk no longer exists and a request to reopen those waters, to reopen those waters in a manner that promotes a fair and orderly fishery. Existing law authorizes crab traps to be set and baited 64 hours before the opening date of the commercial Dungeness crab season in Fish and Game Districts 6, 7, 8, and 9, and 18 hours before the opening date of commercial Dungeness crab season in other fish and game districts. Existing law requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife, in consultation with the Dungeness crab task force, to develop regulations as necessary to provide for the retrieval of lost or abandoned commercial crab traps, and to establish a retrieval permit program as part of those regulations. This bill would authorize the Director of Fish and Wildlife, if there is a delay in the opening of any waters for Dungeness crab season pursuant to these provisions, to further delay opening those waters in order to provide 72-hours notice before a gear setting period. The bill would provide that if, with 72-hours notice, the gear setting period would begin on a federal holiday, a state holiday, the day before Thanksgiving Day, December 24, or December 31, the director may delay opening those waters for the additional time that is necessary to begin the gear setting period on the next day that is not one of those days. The bill would clarify that it is unlawful to take any fish from any waters closed pursuant to these provisions or to otherwise violate any restriction on take imposed pursuant to these provisions. This bill would require all Dungeness crab traps to be removed from state waters by 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the applicable commercial Dungeness crab season. (7) Existing law requires the Director of Fish and Wildlife to convene a Dungeness crab review panel for the purpose of reviewing Dungeness crab vessel permit applications and permit transfer applications. This bill would repeal those provisions. (8) Existing law provides that the above-described provisions, and certain other related provisions, except for the provisions in paragraph (6) relating to fishery closure and initial gear setting, shall become inoperative on April 1, 2019, and, as of January 1, 2020, are repealed. This bill would extend the operation of these provisions, except for the provisions relating to a Dungeness crab review panel and retrieval of lost or abandoned commercial crab traps. The bill would make these provisions inoperative on April 1, 2029, and repeal them as of January 1, 2030. (9) Under existing law, except as expressly provided otherwise, any violation of the Fish and Game Code, or of any rule, regulation, or order made or adopted under the code, is a misdemeanor. Because this bill would extend the operation of the Dungeness crab vessel permit program and thereby the crimes imposed for a violation of those provisions, and impose additional requirements the violation of which may be crimes, the bill would create a state-mandated local program by creating new crimes. (10) 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. (11) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law requires an insurer, in the case of a total loss to the primary insured structure under a policy of residential property insurance, to offer to renew the policy at least once if the loss to the primary insured structure was caused by a disaster, as defined, and was not also due to the negligence of the insured, except as specified. This bill would instead, under specified circumstances, require the insurer to offer to renew the policy for at least the next 2 annual renewal periods or 24 months, whichever is greater. Existing law defines the measure of indemnity for a loss under a property insurance policy and specifies time limits under which an insured must collect the full replacement cost of the loss. Existing law prohibits a property insurance policy issued or delivered in the state from limiting or denying payment of the replacement cost of property in the event the insured decides to rebuild or replace the property at a location other than the insured premises. Existing law provides that coverage for additional living expenses incurred due to a covered loss relating to a state of emergency shall be for a period of 24 months. This bill would require an insurer, for a policy that imposes a dollar limit on the amount of coverage provided for additional living expenses, to grant an extension of that coverage for up to 12 additional months, for a total of 36 months, if an insured acting in good faith and with reasonable diligence encounters a delay or delays in the reconstruction process that are the result of circumstances beyond the control of the insured, as specified. This bill would require an insurer to allow an insured that has suffered a loss relating to a declared state of emergency to combine the policy limits for primary dwelling and other structures, and to use the combined amount, as specified. The bill would make other technical, nonsubstantive changes. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 675.1 of the Insurance Code proposed by SB 824 to be operative only if this bill and SB 824 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The bill would also incorporate additional changes to Section 2051.5 of the Insurance Code proposed by AB 1772 and AB 1800 to be operative only if this bill, AB 1772, and AB 1800 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
