This measure would urge the federal government to use California as an example for firearm safety and for stronger firearm laws to protect all citizens.

Existing law requires the governing board of a community college district, the Trustees of the California State University, the Board of Directors of the Hastings College of the Law, and the Regents of the University of California to adopt and implement a written procedure or protocols relating to sexual assault, as provided. This requirement applies to the University of California only if the regents, by appropriate resolution, make it applicable. This bill would require these postsecondary entities, including the University of California if the regents make it applicable by appropriate resolution, to annually review, and update as necessary in collaboration with sexual assault counselors and student, faculty, and staff representatives, the written procedure or protocols. By imposing additional duties on community college districts, 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
This measure would declare the month of May 2019 as Foster Care Month.
This measure would declare June 6, 2019, as Secure Your Load Day in California.
The federal Nutria Eradication and Control Act of 2003 authorizes the Secretary of the Interior, subject to the availability of appropriations, to provide financial assistance to the State of Maryland and the State of Louisiana for a program to implement measures to eradicate or control nutria and restore marshland damaged by nutria. Under the federal act, the federal share of the costs of the program is prohibited from exceeding 75% of the total costs of the program. This measure would urge the United States Congress to reauthorize and specifically add California to the Nutria Eradication and Control Act of 2003 and to authorize an appropriation of $4,000,000 to help the state implement a nutria eradication program.
This measure would urge the United States Department of Health and Human Services to rescind the new Title X regulations that will impede access to essential, time-sensitive health care for low-income individuals across California and the nation.
The Public Employees' Retirement Law (PERL) creates the Public Employees' Retirement System, which provides pension and other benefits to members of the system and prescribes conditions for service after retirement. PERL and the California Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013 establish various limits on retirement benefits generally applicable to a public employee retirement system, and prescribes, among other things, limits on service after retirement without reinstatement into the applicable retirement system. PERL authorizes a person retired for disability to be employed by any employer without reinstatement in the system if specified conditions are met, including, among others, that the person is below the mandatory age for retirement for persons in the job in which the person will be employed, the person is found by the board to not be disabled for that employment, and the position is not the position from which the person retired or a position in the same member classification from which the person retired. This bill would prohibit a person who has retired for disability from being employed by any employer without reinstatement from retirement if the position is the position from which the person retired or if the position includes duties or activities that the person was previously restricted from performing at the time of retirement, unless an exception applies. The bill would require, if a person retired for disability is employed by an employer without reinstatement, an employer to provide to the board the nature of the employment and the duties and activities the person will perform.
This measure would proclaim October 10, 2019, as the 108th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in California.
This measure would designate the portion of Interstate 505 between the Interstate 80 interchange and the Vaca Valley Parkway in the County of Solano as the CHP Officer Kirk Griess Memorial Highway.
