Existing law imposes various limitations on the emissions of air contaminants for the control of air pollution from vehicular and nonvehicular sources. Pursuant to that authority, the State Air Resources Board has adopted a regulation to reduce oxides of nitrogen, diesel particulate matter, and other criteria air pollutant emissions from in-use, off-road, diesel-fueled vehicles. This bill would require the state board to exempt, except as specified, a vehicle owned or operated by a state-registered nonprofit apprenticeship training program from any regulation to reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, and other criteria air pollutants from in-use, off-road, diesel-fueled vehicles, as specified.

Existing law, the Child Care and Development Services Act, establishes a system of child care and development services for children up to 13 years of age, and requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to implement a plan establishing assigned reimbursement rates, per unit of average daily enrollment, to be paid by the state to provider agencies for the provision of those services. Existing law also provides for an adjustment factor to be applied to units of average daily enrollment if a provider agency serves children who meet specified criteria. This bill would require the application of an adjustment factor of 1.05 for children who are served in a California state preschool program, infants and toddlers who are 0 to 36 months of age and are served in general child care and development programs, or children who are 0 to 5 years of age and are served in a family child care home education network setting funded by a general child care and development program, where early childhood mental health consultation services, as defined, are provided, pursuant to specified requirements. Existing law prohibits reporting a child who meets the criteria for more than one adjustment factor under more than one adjustment factor category. This bill, notwithstanding that prohibition, would require, for a child who meets the criteria for one of specified adjustment factors and for the adjustment factor added by this bill, that the reported child days of enrollment for that child be multiplied by the sum of the specified applicable adjustment factor and 0.05. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 8265.5 of the Education Code proposed by both SB 874 and AB 1840, to be operative only if this bill and one or both of SB 874 and AB 1840 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.

Existing law authorizes counties to establish a homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel team with the goal of facilitating the expedited identification, assessment, and linkage of homeless individuals to housing and supportive services within that county and to allow provider agencies to share confidential information, for the purpose of coordinating housing and supportive services to ensure continuity of care. This bill would, if a city within a county that has established a homeless adult and family multidisciplinary personnel team requests to participate in that team, require the county to allow for the participation of appropriate city personnel, as determined by the county, unless the county determines that participation by the city would hinder compliance with the requirements and obligations set forth in the above-mentioned provisions or otherwise conflict with the county's goals and objectives.

This measure would urge President Trump, United States Attorney General Sessions, the United States Department of Justice, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and all other relevant federal departments to immediately cease the implementation of the "zero tolerance" federal immigration policy and to not propose any additional inhumane immigration policies in the future. The measure would further call for compassion and decency for all individuals, families, and children who arrive at our borders seeking a better life.
