Under existing law, a sport fishing license grants the privilege to take fish, reptiles, and amphibia. Existing law requires the Department of Fish and Game to issue a sport fishing license, upon payment of a fee, to eligible California residents and nonresidents, as specified. Existing law requires the department to issue a reduced fee sport fishing license, as specified, to a disabled veteran, as defined, that is valid for the calendar year of issue, or, if issued after the beginning of the year, for the remainder of the year. This bill would also require the department to issue a reduced fee sport fishing license to active military personnel who are recovering service members, as defined, and who demonstrate eligibility, as prescribed. Existing law establishes the lengths of time a sport fishing license is valid, including for a period of one calendar year, for anyone over 16 years of age, as provided.

Existing law provides that the Governor is the Commander in Chief of the Militia of the State. Existing law authorizes the Governor to order the active militia or any portion of the militia to perform military duty of every description, as described. This bill would specify that the state active duty force consists of service members in active state service when ordered by the Governor. This bill would specify and revise conditions for state active duty for service members, as provided, and would authorize the Adjutant General to promulgate regulations in conformity with these provisions. Existing law authorizes the Governor to make rules and regulations in conformity with the Military and Veterans Code that conform as nearly as practicable to those governing the United States Army, United States Air Force, and United States Navy. This bill would instead require the Governor to direct the Adjutant General to make those rules and regulations. Existing law specifies the membership of the office of the Adjutant General, including one officer who may be of the rank of brigadier general who is the Assistant Adjutant General. Existing law specifies that the Assistant Adjutant General is subordinate only to the Governor and the Adjutant General, and specifies 2 officers who may be of the rank of brigadier general, one of whom is the Deputy Adjutant General, Army Division and the other who is the Deputy Adjutant General, Air Division. This bill would revise the ranks of officers in that office, by providing instead for one officer who may be of the rank of brigadier general who is the Deputy Adjutant General, and would require his or her duties to be assigned by the Adjutant General. This bill would, with regard to the Deputies Adjutant General, described above, provide for 2 officers who may be of the rank of brigadier general, one who is the Assistant Adjutant General, Army, and the other who is the Assistant Adjutant General, Air. This bill would also specify one officer who is the Chief of Staff and Director of the Joint Staff. Existing law requires the Governor to appoint the Adjutant General. Existing law provides that the Adjutant General receives the same pay and allowances as received by a lieutenant general in the Army of the United States. This bill would require the Governor to appoint the Adjutant General on state active duty in the grade of lieutenant general, and would make conforming changes to that provision relating to the pay and benefits of the Adjutant General. Under existing law, in the event of the absence of the Adjutant General or of his inability to perform his duties, the officer designated by the Adjutant General or the senior officer in the Adjutant General's office performs those duties. This bill would instead specify that those duties are to be performed by the Deputy Adjutant General or other officer designated by the Adjutant General.
The Mobilehome Parks Act generally regulates various classifications of mobilehome and related vehicle parks. The Special Occupancy Parks Act generally regulates special occupancy parks. Those acts require any person prior to operating a manufactured housing community, mobilehome park, or special occupancy park to obtain a valid permit that is issued by the enforcement agency, as specified. Existing law requires that the permit be issued and invoiced according to a method and schedule established by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The Mobilehome Residency Law and the Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law govern tenancies in mobilehome parks and recreational vehicle parks and impose various duties on the owners of mobilehome parks and recreational vehicle parks and the agents and representatives authorized to act on behalf of the owners. This bill would require that the invoice for the permits to operate issued pursuant to the Mobilehome Parks Act or the Special Occupancy Parks Act provide notice of the Mobilehome Residency Law and the Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law, as applicable.
(1) The Administrative Procedure Act generally sets forth the requirements for the adoption, publication, review, and implementation of regulations by state agencies. The act specifically provides that a regulation or order of repeal required to be filed with the Secretary of State shall become effective on the 30th day after the date of filing, subject to certain exceptions. This bill would instead provide that a regulation or order of repeal is effective on January 1, April 1, July 1, or October 1, as specified, subject to certain exceptions, including, but not limited to, specified regulations adopted by the Fish and Game Commission. (2) The act requires the Office of Administrative Law to make a free copy of the full text of the California Code of Regulations available on its Internet Web site. This bill would also require the office to provide on its Internet Web site a list of, and a link to the full text of, each regulation filed with the Secretary of State that is pending effectiveness, as specified. (3) Existing law requires that every state agency subject to the act that maintains an Internet Web site or similar forum for the electronic publication or distribution of written material publish on that Internet Web site or other forum specified information regarding a proposed regulation or regulatory repeal or amendment. This bill would also require a state agency to post on its Internet Web site each regulation that is filed with the Secretary of State, as specified, and to send to the office the Internet Web site link of the regulation. The bill would not apply to a state agency that does not maintain an Internet Web site. This bill would also make a conforming change. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 116064 of the Health and Safety Code, proposed by AB 2114, to be operative only if AB 2114 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2013, and this bill is chaptered last.
This measure would commemorate the 225th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 2012, and the contributions of historical, educational, and patriotic societies, including, but not limited to, the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and the California Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, in promoting the values embodied in the United States Constitution.
This measure would request the President and the Congress of the United States to enact the Social Security Fairness Act of 2011, which would repeal the Government Pension Offset and the Windfall Elimination Provision from the Social Security Act.
This measure would declare the week of May 20, 2012, through May 26, 2012, as California Mental Health No Stigma Week.
This measure would declare that an applicant's immigration status should not be the determining factor in deciding whether to approve a license to practice law, would commend Sergio C. Garcia for his hard work and success, and would also commend the State Bar of California for its efforts to admit Sergio C. Garcia to the State Bar of California.
(1) Existing law makes the vote by mail ballot available to any registered voter. Existing law requires that those vote by mail ballots be received by the elections officials from whom they were obtained or by the precinct boards before the polls close on election day in order to be counted. Existing law authorizes certain local, special, or consolidated elections to be conducted wholly by mail, so long as specified conditions are satisfied. Existing law requires ballots cast in these vote by mail elections to be returned to the elections official from whom they were obtained no later than 8 p.m. on election day. This bill would, notwithstanding the above provisions, provide that any vote by mail ballot is timely cast if it is received by the voter's elections official no later than 3 days after election day, and either the ballot is postmarked on or before election day or, if the ballot has no postmark, a postmark with no date, or an illegible postmark, the vote by mail ballot identification envelope is signed and dated on or before election day. Because the bill would expand the duties of local elections officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) Existing law requires the elections official to prepare a certified statement of the results of the election and submit it to the governing body within 28 days of the election, except for specified elections. This bill would instead require the elections official to submit the certified statement of the results of the election to the governing body within 31 days of the election. (3) 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 these statutory provisions. (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
This measure would designate the interchange at Hazel Avenue and State Highway Route 50 in the County of Sacramento as the Senator Dave Cox Memorial Interchange. This measure would also request the Department of Transportation to determine the cost of appropriate signs showing this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources covering those costs, to erect those signs.
