Existing law requires the State Water Resources Control Board to establish uniform statewide recycling criteria for each varying type of use of recycled water where the use involves the protection of public health. Existing law requires, on or before December 1, 2022, the state board, in consultation with specified state agencies, to adopt regulations for risk-based water quality standards for the onsite treatment and reuse of nonpotable water, as provided. Existing law requires that a local jurisdiction establish a program for onsite treated nonpotable water systems before any such systems are installed. This bill would require the state board, on or before December 1, 2025, in consultation with the State Department of Public Health, Food and Drug Branch, to adopt regulations for microbiological, chemical, and physical water quality and treatment requirements for voluntary onsite treatment and reuse of process water in breweries, as specified. The bill would require an entity that implements a process water treatment system in a brewery to submit a report containing specified information to the state board and the food and drug branch, as provided, and to terminate the operation of, and modify to render inoperable, process water treatment systems in a brewery at the direction of the food and drug branch after having reasonable opportunity to come into compliance with applicable regulations, as warranted. The bill would require the food and drug branch to consult with the state board before requiring termination of a process water treatment system. The bill would require a process water treatment system in a brewery to comply with the regulations within 2 years of the effective date of the regulations with possible extensions, as specified. The bill would allow the state board to contract with private and public entities for advice regarding the content of the regulations. The bill would require, before beginning onsite process water reuse, a brewery engaging in onsite reuse using a process water treatment system to consult with the water and wastewater service providers in its service area that would potentially be impacted by operation of the system. The bill would authorize breweries to install and operate onsite process water treatment systems even if a local jurisdiction has not established a program for onsite treated nonpotable water systems.

Existing law, the Lanterman-Petris-Short Act, authorizes an individual to apply to the person or agency designated by a county for a petition alleging that there is in the county a person who is, as a result of mental disorder a danger to others, or to self, or is gravely disabled, and requesting that an evaluation of the person's condition be made to determine whether the person will agree voluntarily to receive crisis intervention services or an evaluation. Existing law defines "gravely disabled" for this purpose as a person who, as a result of a mental health disorder, is unable to provide for the person's basic personal needs for food, clothing, or shelter or who has been found mentally incompetent, as specified. This bill would include in that definition of "gravely disabled," for purposes of the petitions for evaluation made under the act, a person who, as a result of impairment by chronic alcoholism, is unable to provide for the person's basic personal needs for food, clothing, or shelter. By increasing the duties of the county person or agency that receives the requests and prepares petitions for evaluation, 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
Existing law makes it unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug to drive a vehicle. Existing law makes it unlawful for a person who is under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or drug to drive a motor vehicle and concurrently do any act or neglect any duty that proximately causes bodily injury to another person other than the driver. Under existing law, murder is the killing of a human being with malice aforethought. Under existing case law, malice supporting a conviction of murder in the second degree is implied if a defendant consumed enough alcohol to be legally intoxicated, was aware of the hazards of driving while intoxicated, and drives at excessive speeds and in a reckless manner. Existing law requires a person applying for or renewing a driver's license to sign a declaration acknowledging the danger of driving while driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs and the possibility that doing so may result in being charged with murder. Existing law also requires a person convicted of specified offenses related to driving under the influence to be read a similar admonishment in court. This bill would require both that declaration and admonishment to clarify that a drug includes cannabis, cannabis products, or any of the active chemical compounds of cannabis.
This measure would recognize June 6, 2019, as the 75th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day.

This measure would proclaim and acknowledge the month of June 2019 as Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Month in California and would reiterate the importance of annually recognizing Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Month in the state.
This measure would designate Monday, May 6, 2019, as California Peace Officers' Memorial Day, urge all Californians to use that day to honor California peace officers, and recognize specified California peace officers who were killed in defense of their communities.
This measure would condemn the actions of the Governor in granting a blanket reprieve to death row inmates and would urge the Attorney General to take all necessary actions to enforce the death penalty.

Existing law declares that timely DNA analysis of rape kit evidence is a core public safety issue affecting men, women, and children in the State of California. Existing law encourages law enforcement agencies to either submit sexual assault forensic evidence received on or after January 1, 2016, to a crime lab within 20 days after it is booked into evidence or to ensure that a rapid turnaround DNA program is in place, as specified. Existing law also encourages a crime lab that receives sexual assault forensic evidence on or after January 1, 2016, to either process the evidence, create DNA profiles when able, and upload qualifying DNA profiles into the Combined DNA Index System, as specified, or transmit the sexual assault forensic evidence to another crime lab as soon as practically possible, but no later than 30 days after receiving the evidence, for processing of the evidence for the presence of DNA. This bill would instead require a law enforcement agency to either submit sexual assault forensic evidence to a crime lab or ensure that a rapid turnaround DNA program is in place, as specified, and require a crime lab to either process the evidence or transmit the evidence to another crime lab for processing, as specified. Because this bill would impose a higher level of service on local law enforcement agencies in processing that evidence, it would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 680 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 1494 to be operative only if this bill and SB 1494 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. 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.
