Existing state law, Proposition 7, an initiative measure approved by the voters at the November 6, 2018, general election, sets the standard time for California and sets daylight saving time to begin each March and end each November. Proposition 7 allows the state to set the standard time to year-round daylight saving time if federal law authorizes the state to do so. Existing federal law does not currently allow a state to set its standard time to year-round daylight saving time. This bill would set California's standard time to year-round daylight saving time after the federal government authorizes the state to do so, as specified.
This measure would proclaim, in perpetuity, the month of April as California Wines: Down to Earth Month, to celebrate the sustainable leadership of California wineries and winegrape growers throughout the month of April.
(1) Existing law creates the California Interagency Council on Homelessness (council) and requires departments administering state programs created on or after July 1, 2017, to collaborate with the council for the purpose of adopting guidelines and regulations to incorporate core components of Housing First. Existing law defines "Housing First" as an evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to permanent housing as quickly as possible. Under existing law, Housing First providers offer services as needed and requested on a voluntary basis and do not make housing contingent on participation in services. This bill would require a local government entity to provide specified homelessness information for its jurisdiction to the council by January 1, 2025, including expenditures on homelessness programs and efforts provided to homeless persons within its jurisdiction, as well as related information regarding the funding of these services. The bill would specify how a local government would meet this requirement. This bill would require the council to develop and maintain a publicly available internet website homelessness dashboard for prescribed purposes. The bill would require the council to report to the Legislature, and post to its homelessness dashboard, information related to programs that the state has undertaken to reduce homelessness in California, including federal funding for state and local programs by January 1, 2026. The bill would require a state agency or office responsible for these programs to report data related to the programs, in a form prescribed by the council, to the council no later than January 1, 2025. The bill would require the council to perform a specified assessment of the success or failure of funded and implemented programs addressing homelessness. This bill would express that it is the intent of the Legislature that continuums of care collaborate with local government entities, state agencies, and the council to help collect the required information. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2027. By increasing the duties of local government entities, this bill would impose 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.
The Personal Income Tax Law, in modified conformity with federal income tax laws, allows various deductions from gross income in computing adjusted gross income under that law, but does not conform with the federal deduction in computing adjusted gross income allowed for certain expenses of elementary and secondary school teachers. This bill, for each taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and before January 1, 2027, would, in modified conformity with federal personal income tax laws, allow a deduction in computing adjusted gross income for certain expenses of public elementary and secondary school teachers. Existing law requires any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure to contain, among other things, specific goals, purposes, and objectives that the tax expenditure will achieve, detailed performance indicators, and data collection requirements. This bill would include additional information required for any bill authorizing a new tax expenditure. This bill would take effect immediately as a tax levy.
