(1) Existing law requires each person between 6 and 18 years of age not otherwise exempted to attend the public full-time day school or continuation school or classes in the school district where the person's parent or legal guardian is located. Existing law provides that a pupil is deemed to have complied with the residency requirements for school attendance in a school district if the pupil satisfies one of specified requirements. This bill would provide that a pupil complies with the residency requirements for school attendance in a school district if he or she is a pupil whose parent or parents were residents of this state and departed California against their will, as defined, and, if the pupil seeks admission to a school of a school district, requires that the pupil be admitted by the governing board of the school district if that pupil meets specified requirements. By requiring school districts to admit this class of pupils, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would provide that no charges or fees of any kind shall be required to be paid by a pupil, or by his or her parents or guardian, for admission or attendance in a school of a school district that provides instruction in accord with the bill's requirements. (2) Existing law authorizes a person who is otherwise eligible for admission to any class or school of a school district of the state, whose parents are or are not citizens of the United States, to be admitted to the class or school if that person's actual and legal residence is in a foreign country adjacent to the state and that person regularly returns within a 24-hour period to that foreign country. As a condition precedent to admission of that person to the class or school, existing law requires that the governing board of the school district require the parent or guardian to pay to the school district an amount not more than sufficient to reimburse the school district for the total cost of educating the person, as provided. Existing law additionally provides that the attendance of the pupils so admitted shall not be included in computing the average daily attendance of the class or school for the purpose of obtaining apportionment of state funds. This bill would exempt from these reimbursement requirements a pupil that is admitted pursuant to (1) above and would require these pupils to be included in computing the average daily attendance of the school for the purpose of obtaining apportionment of state funds. (3) Existing law authorizes the governing board of any school district to, with the approval of the county superintendent of schools, admit to the elementary and high schools of the district pupils living in an adjoining state which is contiguous to the school district provided that an agreement is entered into between the governing board and the governing board or authority of the school district in which the pupils reside providing for the payment by the latter of an amount sufficient to reimburse the district of attendance for the total cost of educating the pupil, as specified. In lieu of entering an agreement with the governing board or authority of the school district in which the pupil from the adjoining state resides, existing law authorizes the governing board of the school district in this state to enter an agreement with the parent or guardian of the pupil on the same terms as is provided in these provisions. This bill would exempt from these reimbursement requirements a pupil that is admitted pursuant to (1) above and would require these pupils to be included in computing the average daily attendance of the school for the purpose of obtaining apportionment of state funds. (4) 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.

(1) Existing law exempts a student, other than a nonimmigrant alien, as defined, from paying nonresident tuition at the California State University and the California Community Colleges if the student meets certain requirements, including high school attendance in California for 3 or more years or attainment of credits earned in California from a California high school equivalent to 3 or more years of full-time high school coursework and a total of 3 or more years of attendance at California elementary and secondary schools. This bill would instead exempt a student, other than a nonimmigrant alien, from nonresident tuition at the California State University and the California Community Colleges if the student has a total of 3 or more years of attendance, or attainment of equivalent credits earned while in California, California high schools, California adult schools, campuses of the California Community Colleges, or a combination of those schools, as specified, or the student completes 3 or more years of full-time high school coursework, and a total of 3 or more years of attendance in California elementary schools, California secondary schools, or a combination of California elementary and secondary schools. The bill would also require that the student graduate from a California high school or attain the equivalent, attain an associate degree from a campus of the California Community Colleges, or fulfill minimum transfer requirements established for the University of California or the California State University for students transferring from campuses of the California Community Colleges. The bill would request the Regents of the University of California to enact exemptions from requirements to pay nonresident tuition for its students that are equivalent to those applicable to students of the California Community Colleges and the California State University pursuant to this bill. Because the bill would impose new duties on community college districts with respect to determining eligibility for exemptions from paying nonresident tuition, the bill would constitute a state-mandated local program. (2) 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. (3) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 68130.5 of the Education Code proposed by SB 244 to be operative only if this bill and SB 244 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
Existing law requires the Insurance Commissioner to require specified licensees, at the time of issuance or renewal of a license, to provide its federal employer identification number if the licensee is a partnership or his or her social security number for all others. Existing law also provides that any licensee failing to provide this information shall be reported by the licensing entity to the Franchise Tax Board, as specified, and shall be subject to a penalty if the licensee fails to provide the required information after notification by the board. Existing law requires the commissioner, upon request of the Franchise Tax Board, to furnish the board with specified information with respect to every licensee, including, but not limited to, the federal employer identification number if the entity is a partnership or the owner's name and social security number for all others. Existing law exempts the required information from the California Public Records Act. This bill would limit the California Public Records Act exemption to an applicant's or licensee's federal employer identification or social security number, as applicable. The bill also would enumerate the circumstances under which the information provided under these provisions can be disclosed. This bill, among other things, on July 1, 2018, would require the commissioner to require either a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number if the license applicant or licensee is an individual applying for or renewing a production agency license, and would require the commissioner, upon request of the Franchise Tax Board, to furnish to the board either a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number for individuals who are production agency licensees. The bill would require that a federal employer identification number, individual taxpayer identification number, or social security number furnished pursuant to this act be collected, recorded, and used only for licensing and administration purposes, be exempt from the California Public Records Act, and not be disclosed except as specified. The bill would also make technical and conforming changes. Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation Board, in cases in which evidence shows that a crime with which a claimant was charged was either not committed at all, or not committed by the claimant, to report the facts of the case and its conclusions to the Legislature with a recommendation that the Legislature make an appropriation for the purpose of indemnifying the claimant for the injury. This bill would appropriate specified sums from the General Fund to the executive officer of the board for the payment of the claims of specified individuals. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
Existing law requires that the statewide direct primary be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in each even-numbered year. Existing law requires that the presidential primary be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in June in any year that is evenly divisible by the number 4, and requires that the presidential primary be consolidated with the statewide direct primary held in that year. This bill would, beginning in 2019, change the date of the statewide direct primary and the presidential primary to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March and would continue the requirement that those elections be consolidated.
This measure would state that the Legislature respectfully disagrees with statements posted on Twitter by the President of the United States proposing to ban transgender Americans from military service, and would call upon the Governor of California to direct the Armed Forces of the state to take no action that discriminates against transgender service members on the basis of their gender identity or expression, unless superseded by federal law. The measure would also urge the United States Secretary of Defense James Mattis to allow transgender service members who are otherwise able to serve to remain in the United States Armed Forces and recommend to President Trump that transgender individuals who are otherwise able to serve be permitted to join the United States Armed Forces.
This measure would urge Congress to prevail upon the Department of Defense to realign its criteria for the safe harbor provision in order to avoid the requirement of a social security number.
This measure would invite the State of Nayarit, Mexico, to join California in a sister state relationship.
This measure would urge the President and the Congress of the United States to condemn the government-sanctioned persecution, torture, and murder of gay men in the Chechen Republic, join in solidarity with all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Russians in their fight for their lives, dignity, and respect, and take action to encourage the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, consistent with existing federal protocols, to grant asylum and refugee status for individuals fleeing persecution, including individuals fleeing persecution due to their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity.
