Existing law establishes the State Department of Social Services and sets forth its powers and duties, including, but not limited to, the certification and regulation of continuing care retirement communities, as defined. Existing law requires a continuing care retirement community to possess a certificate of authority from the department before it can enter into a continuing care contract, as defined. Existing law regulates different types of continuing care contracts, including, among others, a repayable contract. A repayable contract is a continuing care contract that includes a promise to repay all or a portion of an entrance fee that is conditioned upon reoccupancy or resale of the unit previously occupied by the resident. This bill would, for contracts entered into or amended on or after January 1, 2019, revise the definition of a "repayable contract" to also include a contract that includes a promise to repay all or a portion of an entrance fee on a sequential basis from an entrance fee repayment pool that is funded by the resale of units in the pool at the facility, as they become available, would set forth conditions for repayment of these amounts, and would declare that these contracts are subject to the same legal requirements as other repayable contracts.
Existing law prohibits a person from operating a vehicle on any highway unless it is constructed, covered, or loaded as to prevent any of its contents or load, other than clear water or feathers from live birds, from escaping the vehicle. Under existing law, a violation of this provision is an infraction punishable by a fine determined by the Judicial Council. Existing law also requires a vehicle carrying animals to have the animals properly secured. Under existing law, a violation of this provision is an infraction punishable by a specified fine, set at escalating amounts for subsequent convictions. This bill would make the penalty for driving with an unsecured load the same as the penalty for driving with animals that have not been properly secured. 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Under existing federal law, the California State Approving Agency for Veterans Education monitors, evaluates, and approves or disapproves veterans education and training programs in this state.
