Provides that the State Board shall provide its rationale when voting on an item before it at a meeting in order to comply with the Code of Civil Procedure. Requires the transcript of the meeting to be incorporated into the Board's final decision. Provides that the State Board may require in-kind services instead of or in combination with the imposition of a fine. Limits this authorization to cases where the non-compliant individual or entity has waived the right to an administrative hearing or opportunity to appear before the Board.
