LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1317, as amended, Frazier. State government operations.

Existing law and the Governor’s Reorganization Plan No. 2, effective July 3, 2012, and operative July 1, 2013, assigns and reorganizes the functions of state government among executive officers and agencies by creating the following general agency structure in the executive branch: Business, Consumer Services and Housing; Government Operations; Corrections and Rehabilitation; Labor and Workforce Development; California Health and Human Services; Environmental Protection; Natural Resources; and Transportation.

This bill would enact the statutory changes necessary to reflect the changes in law made by the Governor’s Reorganization Plan No. 2, and would also make additional conforming name changes to properly reflect the assignment and reorganization of the functions of state government among the newly established executive officers and agencies.

This bill would reallocate certain duties of reorganized and abolished state entities and their officers to established state entities and officers, including, but not limited to, reallocating specified duties of the abolished Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and its secretary to the newly created Transportation Agency and its Secretary of Transportation, and reallocating specified duties to the newly created Department of Business Oversight and its commissioner.

This bill would become operative, like the Governor’s Reorganization Plan No. 2, on July 1, 2013, except as specifically provided.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

Vote: ²⁄₃. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

description of the terms of loans, mortgages, deeds of trust, real
property sales contracts, or any combination thereof offered for
funding or purchase through the broker as agent.

of Section 10131, has not during a fiscal year, accepted for the
benefit of a person to whom the broker is a trustee, any payment
or remittance in a form convertible to cash by the broker, need not

commissioner may cause an examination and report to be made
and may charge the broker one and one-half times the cost of
making the examination and report. In determining the hourly cost
incurred by the commissioner for conducting an examination and
preparing the report, the commissioner may use the estimated
average hourly cost for all department audit staff performing audits
of real estate brokers. If a broker fails to pay the above amount
within 60 days of the mailing of a notice of billing, the
commissioner may suspend the broker’s license or deny renewal
of the broker’s license. The suspension or denial shall remain in
effect until the above amount is paid or the broker’s right to renew
a license has expired. The commissioner may maintain an action
for the recovery of the above amount in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

(f) The reports referred to in subdivisions (a) and (c) are
exempted from any requirement of public disclosure by paragraph

application, that the judgment and debt have been declared to be
nondischargeable.

no later than one year after the underlying judgment became final.

(d) If the claimant is basing his or her application upon a
judgment against a salesperson, and the claimant has not obtained
a judgment against that salesperson’s employing broker, if any, or
has not diligently pursued the assets of that broker, the application
shall be denied for failure to diligently pursue the assets of all other
persons liable to the claimant in the transaction unless the claimant
can demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, either that the
salesperson was not employed by a broker at the time of the
transaction, or that the salesperson’s employing broker would not
have been liable to the claimant because the salesperson was acting
outside the scope of his or her employment by the broker in the
transaction.

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO FARM

This property is located within one mile of a farm or ranch land
designated on the current county-level GIS “Important Farmland

operations may include, but are not limited to, noise, odors, dust,
light, insects, the operation of pumps and machinery, the storage

Section 11010.8 of the Business and Professions
Code is amended to read:

11010.8.  

(a) The requirement that a notice of intention be filed
pursuant to Section 11010 is not applicable to the purchase of a
mobilehome park by a nonprofit corporation if all of the following
occur:

(1) A majority of the shareholders or members of the nonprofit
corporation constitute a majority of the homeowners of the
mobilehome park, and a majority of the members of the board of
directors of the nonprofit corporation are homeowners of the
mobilehome park.

(2) All members of the corporation are residents of the
mobilehome park. Members of the nonprofit corporation may enter
into leases with the corporation that are greater than five years in
length. “Homeowners” or “residents” of the mobilehome park
shall include a bona fide secured party who has, pursuant to a
security interest in a membership, taken title to the membership
by means of foreclosure, repossession, or voluntary repossession,
and who is actively attempting to resell the membership to a
prospective resident or homeowner of the mobilehome park, in
accordance with subdivision (f) of Section 7312 of the Corporations
Code.

transaction (as defined by Section 25011 of the Corporations Code)
involving the offer to resell or the resale of memberships by a bona
fide secured party as described in paragraph (2) of this section, a
permit is not required where the transaction is exempt from the
qualification requirements of Section 25130 of the Corporations
Code pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 25104 of the
Corporations Code. The exemption from qualification pursuant to
subdivision (e) of Section 25104 of the Corporations Code
available to a bona fide secured party does not eliminate the
requirement of this section that the nonprofit corporation shall
either file a notice of intention pursuant to Section 11010 or obtain
a permit pursuant to Section 25113 of the Corporations Code.

(4) All funds of tenants for the purchase of the mobilehome
park are deposited in escrow until the document transferring title
of the mobilehome park to the nonprofit corporation is recorded.
The escrow also shall include funds of homeowners that shall be
available to the homeowners association nonprofit corporation for
payment of any and all costs reasonably associated with the
processing and conversion of the mobilehome park into
condominium interests. Payment of these costs may be made from
the funds deposited in escrow prior to the close of escrow upon
the direction of the homeowners association nonprofit corporation.

(b) The funds described by paragraph (4) of subdivision (a), or
any other funds subsequently received from tenants for purposes
other than the purchase of a separate subdivided interest in any
portion of the mobilehome park, are not subject to the requirements
of Section 11013.1, 11013.2, or 11013.4.

relevant plans, specifications, mass or rough grading plans, final
soils reports, Bureau of Real Estate public reports, and available

due to loss or destruction that was not the fault of the builder, the
builder may be excused from the requirements of this subdivision,
in which case the builder shall act with reasonable diligence to
assist the homeowner in obtaining those documents from any
applicable government authority or from the source that generated
the document. However, in that case, the time limits specified by
this section do not apply.

(b) At the expense of the homeowner, who may opt to use an
offsite copy facility that is bonded and insured, the builder shall
provide to the homeowner or his or her legal representative copies

that pertain to his or her residence within 30 days of service of a
written request for those documents. Those documents shall also
be provided to the homeowner in conjunction with the initial sale
of the residence.

(c) At the expense of the homeowner, who may opt to use an
offsite copy facility that is bonded and insured, a builder shall
provide to the homeowner or his or her legal representative copies
of all manufactured products maintenance, preventive maintenance,
and limited warranty information within 30 days of a written
request for those documents. These documents shall also be

the residence.

(d) At the expense of the homeowner, who may opt to use an
offsite copy facility that is bonded and insured, a builder shall
provide to the homeowner or his or her legal representative copies
of all of the builder’s limited contractual warranties in accordance
with this part in effect at the time of the original sale of the
residence within 30 days of a written request for those documents.
Those documents shall also be provided to the homeowner in
conjunction with the initial sale of the residence.

(e) A builder shall maintain the name and address of an agent
for notice pursuant to this chapter with the Secretary of State or,
alternatively, elect to use a third party for that notice if the builder
has notified the homeowner in writing of the third party’s name
and address, to whom claims and requests for information under
this section may be mailed. The name and address of the agent for
notice or third party shall be included with the original sales
documentation and shall be initialed and acknowledged by the
purchaser and the builder’s sales representative.

This subdivision applies to instances in which a builder contracts
with a third party to accept claims and act on the builder’s behalf.
A builder shall give actual notice to the homeowner that the builder
has made such an election, and shall include the name and address
of the third party.

(f) A builder shall record on title a notice of the existence of
these procedures and a notice that these procedures impact the
legal rights of the homeowner. This information shall also be
included with the original sales documentation and shall be initialed
and acknowledged by the purchaser and the builder’s sales
representative.

(g) A builder shall provide, with the original sales
documentation, a written copy of this title, which shall be initialed
and acknowledged by the purchaser and the builder’s sales
representative.

(h) As to any documents provided in conjunction with the
original sale, the builder shall instruct the original purchaser to
provide those documents to any subsequent purchaser.

(i) Any builder who fails to comply with any of these
requirements within the time specified is not entitled to the
protection of this chapter, and the homeowner is released from the
requirements of this chapter and may proceed with the filing of an
action, in which case the remaining chapters of this part shall
continue to apply to the action.

development lien shall be paid pursuant to the priority of
encumbrances of record and to the owner or owner’s successor as

Section 17520 of the Family Code is amended to
read:

17520.  

(a) As used in this section:

(1) “Applicant” means any person applying for issuance or
renewal of a license.

(2) “Board” means any entity specified in Section 101 of the
Business and Professions Code, the entities referred to in Sections
1000 and 3600 of the Business and Professions Code, the State
Bar, the Bureau of Real Estate, the Department of Motor Vehicles,
the Secretary of State, the Department of Fish and Game, and any
other state commission, department, committee, examiner, or
agency that issues a license, certificate, credential, permit,
registration, or any other authorization to engage in a business,
occupation, or profession, or to the extent required by federal law
or regulations, for recreational purposes. This term includes all
boards, commissions, departments, committees, examiners, entities,
and agencies that issue a license, certificate, credential, permit,
registration, or any other authorization to engage in a business,
occupation, or profession. The failure to specifically name a
particular board, commission, department, committee, examiner,
entity, or agency that issues a license, certificate, credential, permit,
registration, or any other authorization to engage in a business,
occupation, or profession does not exclude that board, commission,
department, committee, examiner, entity, or agency from this term.

(3) “Certified list” means a list provided by the local child
support agency to the Department of Child Support Services in
which the local child support agency verifies, under penalty of
perjury, that the names contained therein are support obligors found
to be out of compliance with a judgment or order for support in a
case being enforced under Title IV-D of the Social Security Act.

(4) “Compliance with a judgment or order for support” means
that, as set forth in a judgment or order for child or family support,
the obligor is no more than 30 calendar days in arrears in making
payments in full for current support, in making periodic payments
in full, whether court ordered or by agreement with the local child
support agency, on a support arrearage, or in making periodic
payments in full, whether court ordered or by agreement with the
local child support agency, on a judgment for reimbursement for
public assistance, or has obtained a judicial finding that equitable
estoppel as provided in statute or case law precludes enforcement
of the order. The local child support agency is authorized to use
this section to enforce orders for spousal support only when the
local child support agency is also enforcing a related child support
obligation owed to the obligee parent by the same obligor, pursuant
to Sections 17400 and 17604.

(5) “License” includes membership in the State Bar, and a

any license used for recreational purposes. This term includes all
licenses, certificates, credentials, permits, registrations, or any
other authorization issued by a board that allows a person to engage
in a business, occupation, or profession. The failure to specifically
name a particular type of license, certificate, credential, permit,
registration, or other authorization issued by a board that allows
a person to engage in a business, occupation, or profession, does
not exclude that license, certificate, credential, permit, registration,
or other authorization from this term.

(6) “Licensee” means any person holding a license, certificate,
credential, permit, registration, or other authorization issued by a
board, to engage in a business, occupation, or profession, or a
commercial driver’s license as defined in Section 15210 of the
Vehicle Code, including an appointment and commission by the
Secretary of State as a notary public. “Licensee” also means any
person holding a driver’s license issued by the Department of
Motor Vehicles, any person holding a commercial fishing license
issued by the Department of Fish and Game, and to the extent
required by federal law or regulations, any person holding a license
used for recreational purposes. This term includes all persons
holding a license, certificate, credential, permit, registration, or
any other authorization to engage in a business, occupation, or
profession, and the failure to specifically name a particular type
of license, certificate, credential, permit, registration, or other
authorization issued by a board does not exclude that person from
this term. For licenses issued to an entity that is not an individual
person, “licensee” includes any individual who is either listed on
the license or who qualifies for the license.

(b) The local child support agency shall maintain a list of those
persons included in a case being enforced under Title IV-D of the
Social Security Act against whom a support order or judgment has
been rendered by, or registered in, a court of this state, and who
are not in compliance with that order or judgment. The local child
support agency shall submit a certified list with the names, social
security numbers, and last known addresses of these persons and
the name, address, and telephone number of the local child support
agency who certified the list to the department. The local child
support agency shall verify, under penalty of perjury, that the
persons listed are subject to an order or judgment for the payment
of support and that these persons are not in compliance with the
order or judgment. The local child support agency shall submit to
the department an updated certified list on a monthly basis.

(c) The department shall consolidate the certified lists received
from the local child support agencies and, within 30 calendar days
of receipt, shall provide a copy of the consolidated list to each
board that is responsible for the regulation of licenses, as specified
in this section.

(d) On or before November 1, 1992, or as soon thereafter as
economically feasible, as determined by the department, all boards
subject to this section shall implement procedures to accept and
process the list provided by the department, in accordance with
this section. Notwithstanding any other law, all boards shall collect
social security numbers from all applicants for the purposes of
matching the names of the certified list provided by the department
to applicants and licensees and of responding to requests for this
information made by child support agencies.

(e) (1) Promptly after receiving the certified consolidated list
from the department, and prior to the issuance or renewal of a
license, each board shall determine whether the applicant is on the
most recent certified consolidated list provided by the department.
The board shall have the authority to withhold issuance or renewal
of the license of any applicant on the list.

(2) If an applicant is on the list, the board shall immediately
serve notice as specified in subdivision (f) on the applicant of the
board’s intent to withhold issuance or renewal of the license. The
notice shall be made personally or by mail to the applicant’s last
known mailing address on file with the board. Service by mail
shall be complete in accordance with Section 1013 of the Code of
Civil Procedure.

(A) The board shall issue a temporary license valid for a period
of 150 days to any applicant whose name is on the certified list if
the applicant is otherwise eligible for a license.

(B) Except as provided in subparagraph (D), the 150-day time
period for a temporary license shall not be extended. Except as
provided in subparagraph (D), only one temporary license shall
be issued during a regular license term and it shall coincide with
the first 150 days of that license term. As this paragraph applies
to commercial driver’s licenses, “license term” shall be deemed
to be 12 months from the date the application fee is received by
the Department of Motor Vehicles. A license for the full or
remainder of the license term shall be issued or renewed only upon
compliance with this section.

(C) In the event that a license or application for a license or the
renewal of a license is denied pursuant to this section, any funds
paid by the applicant or licensee shall not be refunded by the board.

(D) This paragraph shall apply only in the case of a driver’s
license, other than a commercial driver’s license. Upon the request
of the local child support agency or by order of the court upon a
showing of good cause, the board shall extend a 150-day temporary
license for a period not to exceed 150 extra days.

(3) (A) The department may, when it is economically feasible
for the department and the boards to do so as determined by the
department, in cases where the department is aware that certain
child support obligors listed on the certified lists have been out of
compliance with a judgment or order for support for more than
four months, provide a supplemental list of these obligors to each
board with which the department has an interagency agreement to
implement this paragraph. Upon request by the department, the
licenses of these obligors shall be subject to suspension, provided
that the licenses would not otherwise be eligible for renewal within
six months from the date of the request by the department. The
board shall have the authority to suspend the license of any licensee
on this supplemental list.

(B) If a licensee is on a supplemental list, the board shall
immediately serve notice as specified in subdivision (f) on the
licensee that his or her license will be automatically suspended
150 days after notice is served, unless compliance with this section
is achieved. The notice shall be made personally or by mail to the
licensee’s last known mailing address on file with the board.
Service by mail shall be complete in accordance with Section 1013
of the Code of Civil Procedure.

(C) The 150-day notice period shall not be extended.

(D) In the event that any license is suspended pursuant to this
section, any funds paid by the licensee shall not be refunded by
the board.

(E) This paragraph shall not apply to licenses subject to annual
renewal or annual fee.

(f) Notices shall be developed by each board in accordance with
guidelines provided by the department and subject to approval by
the department. The notice shall include the address and telephone
number of the local child support agency that submitted the name
on the certified list, and shall emphasize the necessity of obtaining
a release from that local child support agency as a condition for
the issuance, renewal, or continued valid status of a license or
licenses.

(1) In the case of applicants not subject to paragraph (3) of
subdivision (e), the notice shall inform the applicant that the board
shall issue a temporary license, as provided in subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (2) of subdivision (e), for 150 calendar days if the
applicant is otherwise eligible and that upon expiration of that time
period the license will be denied unless the board has received a
release from the local child support agency that submitted the name
on the certified list.

(2) In the case of licensees named on a supplemental list, the
notice shall inform the licensee that his or her license will continue
in its existing status for no more than 150 calendar days from the
date of mailing or service of the notice and thereafter will be
suspended indefinitely unless, during the 150-day notice period,
the board has received a release from the local child support agency
that submitted the name on the certified list. Additionally, the
notice shall inform the licensee that any license suspended under
this section will remain so until the expiration of the remaining
license term, unless the board receives a release along with
applications and fees, if applicable, to reinstate the license during
the license term.

(3) The notice shall also inform the applicant or licensee that if
an application is denied or a license is suspended pursuant to this
section, any funds paid by the applicant or licensee shall not be
refunded by the board. The Department of Child Support Services
shall also develop a form that the applicant shall use to request a
review by the local child support agency. A copy of this form shall
be included with every notice sent pursuant to this subdivision.

(g) (1) Each local child support agency shall maintain review
procedures consistent with this section to allow an applicant to
have the underlying arrearage and any relevant defenses
investigated, to provide an applicant information on the process
of obtaining a modification of a support order, or to provide an
applicant assistance in the establishment of a payment schedule
on arrearages if the circumstances so warrant.

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that a court or local child
support agency, when determining an appropriate payment schedule
for arrearages, base its decision on the facts of the particular case
and the priority of payment of child support over other debts. The
payment schedule shall also recognize that certain expenses may
be essential to enable an obligor to be employed. Therefore, in
reaching its decision, the court or the local child support agency
shall consider both of these goals in setting a payment schedule
for arrearages.

(h) If the applicant wishes to challenge the submission of his
or her name on the certified list, the applicant shall make a timely
written request for review to the local child support agency who
certified the applicant’s name. A request for review pursuant to
this section shall be resolved in the same manner and timeframe
provided for resolution of a complaint pursuant to Section 17800.
The local child support agency shall immediately send a release
to the appropriate board and the applicant, if any of the following
conditions are met:

(1) The applicant is found to be in compliance or negotiates an
agreement with the local child support agency for a payment
schedule on arrearages or reimbursement.

(2) The applicant has submitted a request for review, but the
local child support agency will be unable to complete the review
and send notice of its findings to the applicant within the time
specified in Section 17800.

(3) The applicant has filed and served a request for judicial
review pursuant to this section, but a resolution of that review will
not be made within 150 days of the date of service of notice
pursuant to subdivision (f). This paragraph applies only if the delay
in completing the judicial review process is not the result of the
applicant’s failure to act in a reasonable, timely, and diligent
manner upon receiving the local child support agency’s notice of
findings.

(4) The applicant has obtained a judicial finding of compliance
as defined in this section.

(i) An applicant is required to act with diligence in responding
to notices from the board and the local child support agency with
the recognition that the temporary license will lapse or the license
suspension will go into effect after 150 days and that the local
child support agency and, where appropriate, the court must have
time to act within that period. An applicant’s delay in acting,
without good cause, which directly results in the inability of the
local child support agency to complete a review of the applicant’s
request or the court to hear the request for judicial review within
the 150-day period shall not constitute the diligence required under
this section which would justify the issuance of a release.

(j) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the local child
support agency shall not issue a release if the applicant is not in
compliance with the judgment or order for support. The local child
support agency shall notify the applicant in writing that the
applicant may, by filing an order to show cause or notice of motion,
request any or all of the following:

(1) Judicial review of the local child support agency’s decision
not to issue a release.

(2) A judicial determination of compliance.

(3) A modification of the support judgment or order.

The notice shall also contain the name and address of the court
in which the applicant shall file the order to show cause or notice
of motion and inform the applicant that his or her name shall
remain on the certified list if the applicant does not timely request
judicial review. The applicant shall comply with all statutes and
rules of court regarding orders to show cause and notices of motion.

This section shall not be deemed to limit an applicant from filing
an order to show cause or notice of motion to modify a support
judgment or order or to fix a payment schedule on arrearages
accruing under a support judgment or order or to obtain a court
finding of compliance with a judgment or order for support.

(k) The request for judicial review of the local child support
agency’s decision shall state the grounds for which review is
requested and judicial review shall be limited to those stated
grounds. The court shall hold an evidentiary hearing within 20
calendar days of the filing of the request for review. Judicial review
of the local child support agency’s decision shall be limited to a
determination of each of the following issues:

(1) Whether there is a support judgment, order, or payment
schedule on arrearages or reimbursement.

(2) Whether the petitioner is the obligor covered by the support
judgment or order.

(3) Whether the support obligor is or is not in compliance with
the judgment or order of support.

(4) (A) The extent to which the needs of the obligor, taking
into account the obligor’s payment history and the current
circumstances of both the obligor and the obligee, warrant a
conditional release as described in this subdivision.

(B) The request for judicial review shall be served by the
applicant upon the local child support agency that submitted the
applicant’s name on the certified list within seven calendar days
of the filing of the petition. The court has the authority to uphold
the action, unconditionally release the license, or conditionally
release the license.

(C) If the judicial review results in a finding by the court that
the obligor is in compliance with the judgment or order for support,
the local child support agency shall immediately send a release in
accordance with subdivision (l) to the appropriate board and the
applicant. If the judicial review results in a finding by the court
that the needs of the obligor warrant a conditional release, the court
shall make findings of fact stating the basis for the release and the
payment necessary to satisfy the unrestricted issuance or renewal
of the license without prejudice to a later judicial determination
of the amount of support arrearages, including interest, and shall
specify payment terms, compliance with which are necessary to
allow the release to remain in effect.

(l) The department shall prescribe release forms for use by local
child support agencies. When the obligor is in compliance, the
local child support agency shall mail to the applicant and the
appropriate board a release stating that the applicant is in
compliance. The receipt of a release shall serve to notify the
applicant and the board that, for the purposes of this section, the
applicant is in compliance with the judgment or order for support.
Any board that has received a release from the local child support
agency pursuant to this subdivision shall process the release within
five business days of its receipt.

If the local child support agency determines subsequent to the
issuance of a release that the applicant is once again not in
compliance with a judgment or order for support, or with the terms
of repayment as described in this subdivision, the local child
support agency may notify the board, the obligor, and the
department in a format prescribed by the department that the
obligor is not in compliance.

The department may, when it is economically feasible for the
department and the boards to develop an automated process for
complying with this subdivision, notify the boards in a manner
prescribed by the department, that the obligor is once again not in
compliance. Upon receipt of this notice, the board shall
immediately notify the obligor on a form prescribed by the
department that the obligor’s license will be suspended on a
specific date, and this date shall be no longer than 30 days from
the date the form is mailed. The obligor shall be further notified
that the license will remain suspended until a new release is issued
in accordance with subdivision (h). Nothing in this section shall
be deemed to limit the obligor from seeking judicial review of
suspension pursuant to the procedures described in subdivision
(k).

(m) The department may enter into interagency agreements with
the state agencies that have responsibility for the administration
of boards necessary to implement this section, to the extent that it
is cost effective to implement this section. These agreements shall
provide for the receipt by the other state agencies and boards of
federal funds to cover that portion of costs allowable in federal
law and regulation and incurred by the state agencies and boards
in implementing this section. Notwithstanding any other provision
of law, revenue generated by a board or state agency shall be used
to fund the nonfederal share of costs incurred pursuant to this
section. These agreements shall provide that boards shall reimburse
the department for the nonfederal share of costs incurred by the
department in implementing this section. The boards shall
reimburse the department for the nonfederal share of costs incurred
pursuant to this section from moneys collected from applicants
and licensees.

(n) Notwithstanding any other law, in order for the boards
subject to this section to be reimbursed for the costs incurred in
administering its provisions, the boards may, with the approval of
the appropriate department director, levy on all licensees and
applicants a surcharge on any fee or fees collected pursuant to law,
or, alternatively, with the approval of the appropriate department
director, levy on the applicants or licensees named on a certified
list or supplemental list, a special fee.

(o) The process described in subdivision (h) shall constitute the
sole administrative remedy for contesting the issuance of a
temporary license or the denial or suspension of a license under
this section. The procedures specified in the administrative
adjudication provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
(Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 11400) and Chapter 5
(commencing with Section 11500) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title
2 of the Government Code) shall not apply to the denial,
suspension, or failure to issue or renew a license or the issuance
of a temporary license pursuant to this section.

(p) In furtherance of the public policy of increasing child support
enforcement and collections, on or before November 1, 1995, the
State Department of Social Services shall make a report to the
Legislature and the Governor based on data collected by the boards
and the district attorneys in a format prescribed by the State
Department of Social Services. The report shall contain all of the
following:

(1) The number of delinquent obligors certified by district
attorneys under this section.

(2) The number of support obligors who also were applicants
or licensees subject to this section.

(3) The number of new licenses and renewals that were delayed,
temporary licenses issued, and licenses suspended subject to this
section and the number of new licenses and renewals granted and
licenses reinstated following board receipt of releases as provided
by subdivision (h) by May 1, 1995.

(4) The costs incurred in the implementation and enforcement
of this section.

(q) Any board receiving an inquiry as to the licensed status of
an applicant or licensee who has had a license denied or suspended
under this section or has been granted a temporary license under
this section shall respond only that the license was denied or
suspended or the temporary license was issued pursuant to this
section. Information collected pursuant to this section by any state
agency, board, or department shall be subject to the Information
Practices Act of 1977 (Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1798)
of Title 1.8 of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code).

(r) Any rules and regulations issued pursuant to this section by
any state agency, board, or department may be adopted as
emergency regulations in accordance with the rulemaking
provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5
(commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title
2 of the Government Code). The adoption of these regulations
shall be deemed an emergency and necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, and safety, or general
welfare. The regulations shall become effective immediately upon
filing with the Secretary of State.

(s) The department and boards, as appropriate, shall adopt
regulations necessary to implement this section.

(t) The Judicial Council shall develop the forms necessary to
implement this section, except as provided in subdivisions (f) and
(l).

(u) The release or other use of information received by a board
pursuant to this section, except as authorized by this section, is
punishable as a misdemeanor.

(v) The State Board of Equalization shall enter into interagency
agreements with the department and the Franchise Tax Board that
will require the department and the Franchise Tax Board to
maximize the use of information collected by the State Board of
Equalization, for child support enforcement purposes, to the extent
it is cost effective and permitted by the Revenue and Taxation
Code.

(w) (1) The suspension or revocation of any driver’s license,
including a commercial driver’s license, under this section shall
not subject the licensee to vehicle impoundment pursuant to Section
14602.6 of the Vehicle Code.

(2) Notwithstanding any other law, the suspension or revocation
of any driver’s license, including a commercial driver’s license,
under this section shall not subject the licensee to increased costs
for vehicle liability insurance.

(x) If any provision of this section or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance is held invalid, that invalidity shall not
affect other provisions or applications of this section which can
be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and
to this end the provisions of this section are severable.

(y) All rights to administrative and judicial review afforded by
this section to an applicant shall also be afforded to a licensee.

pursuant to subdivision (b) is a sufficient basis for a declaration
of a state of emergency or local emergency as defined by Section
8558. Public entities and public employees shall be immune from
liability in accordance with all immunity provisions applicable

prepared and submitted as provided in this subdivision within six
months after the effective date of this section, unless previously
submitted or unless the time for submission of those maps is
extended for reasonable cause by the Office of Emergency
Services. The local governmental organization, utility, or other
public or private owner of any dam so designated shall submit to
the Office of Emergency Services one map that shall delineate
potential flood zones that could result in the event of dam failure
when the reservoir is at full capacity, or if the local governmental
organization, utility, or other public or private owner of any dam
shall determine it to be desirable, he or she shall submit three maps
that shall delineate potential flood zones that could result in the
event of dam failure when the reservoir is at full capacity, at

or maps that do not meet the requirements of this subdivision,
together with recommendations relative to conforming to the
requirements. Maps rejected by the Office of Emergency Services
shall be revised to conform to those recommendations and
resubmitted. The Office of Emergency Services shall keep on file
those maps that conform to the provisions of this subdivision.
Maps approved pursuant to this subdivision shall also be kept on
file with the Department of Water Resources. The owner of a dam
shall submit final copies of those maps to the Office of Emergency
Services that shall immediately submit identical copies to the
appropriate public safety agency of any city, county, or city and
county likely to be affected.

(b) (1) Based upon a review of inundation maps submitted
pursuant to subdivision (a) or based upon information gained by
an onsite inspection and consultation with the affected local
jurisdiction when the requirement for an inundation map is waived
pursuant to subdivision (d), the Office of Emergency Services shall
designate areas within which death or personal injury would, in
its determination, result from the partial or total failure of a dam.
The appropriate public safety agencies of any city, county, or city
and county, the territory of which includes any of those areas, may
adopt emergency procedures for the evacuation and control of
populated areas below those dams. The Office of Emergency
Services shall review the procedures to determine whether adequate
public safety measures exist for the evacuation and control of
populated areas below the dams, and shall make recommendations
with regard to the adequacy of those procedures to the concerned
public safety agency. In conducting the review, the Office of
Emergency Services shall consult with appropriate state and local
agencies.

(2) Emergency procedures specified in this subdivision shall
conform to local needs, and may be required to include any of the
following elements or any other appropriate element, in the
discretion of the Office of Emergency Services:

(A) Delineation of the area to be evacuated.

(B) Routes to be used.

(C) Traffic control measures.

(D) Shelters to be activated for the care of the evacuees.

(E) Methods for the movement of people without their own
transportation.

(F) Identification of particular areas or facilities in the flood
zones that will not require evacuation because of their location on
high ground or similar circumstances.

(G) Identification and development of special procedures for
the evacuation and care of people from unique institutions.

(H) Procedures for the perimeter and interior security of the
area, including such things as passes, identification requirements,
and antilooting patrols.

(I) Procedures for the lifting of the evacuation and reentry of
the area.

(J) Details as to which organizations are responsible for the
functions described in this paragraph and the material and
personnel resources required.

(3) It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage each agency
that prepares emergency procedures to establish a procedure for
their review every two years.

(c) “Dam,” as used in this section, has the same meaning as
specified in Sections 6002, 6003, and 6004 of the Water Code.

(d) Where both of the following conditions exist, the Office of
Emergency Services may waive the requirement for an inundation
map:

(1) Where the effects of potential inundation in terms of death
or personal injury, as determined through onsite inspection by the
Office of Emergency Services in consultation with the affected
local jurisdictions, can be ascertained without an inundation map.

(2) Where adequate evacuation procedures can be developed
without benefit of an inundation map.

(e) If development should occur in any exempted area after a
waiver has been granted, the local jurisdiction shall notify the
Office of Emergency Services of that development. All waivers
shall be reevaluated every two years by the Office of Emergency
Services.

(f) A notice may be posted at the offices of the county recorder,
county assessor, and county planning agency that identifies the
location of the map, and of any information received by the county
subsequent to the receipt of the map regarding changes to
inundation areas within the county.

8589.6.  

(a) The Office of Emergency Services shall develop
model guidelines for local government agencies and
community-based organizations planning to develop a disaster
registry program. Adoption of the model guidelines shall be
voluntary. Local governmental agencies or community-based
organizations wishing to establish a disaster registry program may
consult with the Office of Emergency Services for further guidance.

(b) The guidelines required by subdivision (a) shall address, at
a minimum, all of the following issues:

(1) A purpose statement specifying that the intent of the registry
is not to provide immediate assistance during a local, state, or
national disaster, to those who are registered, but to encourage that
those registered will receive a telephone call or visit from
neighborhood disaster volunteers or other organizations specified
in the final local plan as soon as possible after the disaster in order
to check on their well-being and ask if they need assistance. This
statement shall also specify that persons registered should be
prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours.

(2) A list of persons eligible for the registry. This list shall
include, but not be limited to, disabled persons, including those
with developmental disabilities, the elderly, those for whom
English is not a first language, persons who are unskilled or
deficient in the English language, long-term health care facilities,
residential community care facilities, and residential care facilities
for the elderly.

(3) A statement specifying that the party responsible for
responding to those registered will not be held liable for not
responding.

(4) A plan for ensuring that hard data is available if computers
shut down.

(5) A recommendation for those persons or organizations that
would be appropriate to respond to persons on the disaster registry,
and a plan for training the responsible party.

(6) A plan for community outreach to encourage those eligible
to participate.

(7) A plan for distribution of preparedness materials to those
eligible to participate in the disaster registry.

(8) Recommendations and assistance for obtaining federal and
state moneys to establish a disaster registry.

(9) A recommendation that organizations currently providing
services to persons who are eligible for the disaster registry
program be encouraged to alter their information form to include
a space on the form where the person has the option of registering
for the program. By checking the box and giving approval to be
registered for the program the person waives confidentiality rights.
Despite this waiver of confidentiality rights, local government
agencies and community-based organizations planning to develop
a disaster registry are encouraged to do everything possible to
maintain the confidentiality of their registries. Organizations that
currently have lists of people who would be eligible to register for
the program should be encouraged to share this information with
persons establishing a disaster registry.

8589.9.  

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that there is a
growing need to find new ways to acquire firefighting apparatus
and equipment for use by local agencies. Local agencies,

aid shall be provided until a state agency, upon the request of the
director, has first investigated and reported upon the proposed
work, has estimated the cost of the work, and has filed its report
with the director within 60 days from the date the local agency
made application, unless the director extends the time because of
unusual circumstances. The estimate of cost of the work may
include expenditures made by the local agency for the work prior

report its findings within the 60-day period, and time is not
extended by the director, the director may complete the
investigation and recover a proportionate amount allocated to the
state agency for the balance of the investigation. “Unusual
circumstances,” as used above, are unavoidable delays that result
from recurrence of a disaster, prolonged severe weather within a

a facility that will more adequately serve the present and future
public needs than would be accomplished merely by repairing or
restoring the damaged or destroyed facility, the director shall

(l) (1) Two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) shall be deposited
in the Local Streets and Road Improvement, Congestion Relief,
and Traffic Safety Account of 2006, which is hereby created in
the fund. The proceeds of bonds deposited into that account shall
be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the
purposes specified in this subdivision to the Controller for
administration and allocation in the fiscal year in which the bonds
are issued and sold, including any interest or other return earned
on the investment of those moneys, in the following manner:

(A) Fifty percent to the counties, including a city and county,
in accordance with the following formulas:

(i) Seventy-five percent of the funds payable under this
subparagraph shall be apportioned among the counties in the
proportion that the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles that
are registered in the county bears to the number of fee-paid and
exempt vehicles registered in the state.

(ii) Twenty-five percent of the funds payable under this
subparagraph shall be apportioned among the counties in the
proportion that the number of miles of maintained county roads
in each county bears to the total number of miles of maintained
county roads in the state. For the purposes of apportioning funds
under this clause, any roads within the boundaries of a city and
county that are not state highways shall be deemed to be county
roads.

(B) Fifty percent to the cities, including a city and county,
apportioned among the cities in the proportion that the total
population of the city bears to the total population of all the cities
in the state, provided, however, that the Controller shall allocate
a minimum of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000) to each
city, pursuant to this subparagraph.

(2) Funds received under this subdivision shall be deposited as
follows in order to avoid the commingling of those funds with
other local funds:

(A) In the case of a city, into the city account that is designated
for the receipt of state funds allocated for local streets and roads.

(B) In the case of an eligible county, into the county road fund.

(C) In the case of a city and county, into a local account that is
designated for the receipt of state funds allocated for local streets
and roads.

(3) For the purpose of allocating funds under this subdivision
to cities and a city and county, the Controller shall use the most
recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research
Unit of the Department of Finance. For a city that incorporated
after January 1, 1998, that does not appear on the most recent
population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit,
the Controller shall use the population determined for that city
under Section 11005.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(4) Funds apportioned to a city, county, or city and county under
this subdivision, including any interest or other return earned on
the investment of those funds, shall be used for improvements to
transportation facilities that will assist in reducing local traffic
congestion and further deterioration, improving traffic flows, or
increasing traffic safety that may include, but not be limited to,
street and highway pavement maintenance, rehabilitation,
installation, construction, and reconstruction of necessary
associated facilities such as drainage and traffic control devices,
or the maintenance, rehabilitation, installation, construction, and
reconstruction of facilities that expand ridership on transit systems,
safety projects to reduce fatalities, or as a local match to obtain
state or federal transportation funds for similar purposes.

(5) At the conclusion of each fiscal year during which a city or
county expends the funds it has received under this subdivision,
including any interest or other return earned on the investment of
these funds, the Controller may verify the city’s or county’s
compliance with paragraph (4). Any city or county that has not
complied with paragraph (4) shall reimburse the state for the funds
it received during that fiscal year, including any interest or other
return earned on the investment of these funds. Any funds withheld
or returned as a result of a failure to comply with paragraph (4)
shall be reallocated to the other counties and cities whose
expenditures are in compliance.

(A) For each eligible recipient, compute the amounts of State
Transit Assistance funds allocated to that recipient pursuant to
Section 99314 of the Public Utilities Code during the 2004-05,
2005-06, and 2006-07 fiscal years.

(B) Compute the total statewide allocation of State Transit
Assistance funds pursuant to Section 99314 of the Public Utilities
Code during the 2004-05, 2005-06, and 2006-07 fiscal years.

(C) Divide subparagraph (A) by subparagraph (B).

computed pursuant to subparagraph (C) by 50 percent of the
amount available for allocation pursuant to subdivision (a) of
Section 8879.57.

(4) The Controller shall notify eligible recipients of the amount
of funding each is eligible to receive pursuant to subdivision (a)
of Section 8879.57 for the duration of time that these funds are
made available for these purposes based on the computations
pursuant to subparagraph (D) of paragraph (2) and subparagraph
(D) of paragraph (3).

and determining that a proposed project meets the requirements
of that subdivision, the agency shall, on a quarterly basis, provide
the Controller with a list of projects and the sponsoring agencies
or transit operators eligible to receive an allocation from the
account.

(2) The list of projects submitted to the Controller for allocation
for any one fiscal year shall be constrained by the total amount of
funds appropriated by the Legislature for the purposes of this
section for that fiscal year.

(3) For a fiscal year in which the number of projects submitted
for funding under this section exceeds available funds, the agency
shall prioritize projects contained on the lists submitted pursuant
to paragraph (1) so that (A) projects addressing the greatest risks
to the public and that demonstrate the ability and intent to expend
a significant percentage of project funds within six months have
the highest priority and (B) to the maximum extent possible, the
list reflects a distribution of funding that is geographically
balanced.

(e) Upon receipt of the information from the agency required
by subdivision (d), the Controller’s office shall commence any
necessary actions to allocate funds to eligible agencies and transit
operators sponsoring projects on the list of projects, including, but
not limited to, seeking the issuance of bonds for that purpose. The
total allocations to any one eligible agency or transit operator shall
not exceed that agency’s or transit operator’s share of funds from
the account pursuant to the formula contained in subdivision (a)
of Section 8879.57.

(f) During each fiscal year that an agency or transit operator
receives funds pursuant to this section, the Office of Emergency
Services may monitor the project expenditures to ensure
compliance with this section.

(g) The Controller’s office may, pursuant to Section 12410, use
its authority to audit the use of state bond funds on projects
receiving an allocation under this section. Each eligible agency or
transit operator sponsoring a project subject to an audit shall
provide any and all data requested by the Controller’s office in
order to complete the audit. The Controller’s office shall transmit
copies of all completed audits to the agency and to the policy
committees of the Legislature with jurisdiction over transportation
and budget issues.

Section 12012.90 of the Government Code is
amended to read:

12012.90.  

(a) (1) For each fiscal year commencing with the
2002-03 fiscal year to the 2004-05 fiscal year, inclusive, the
California Gambling Control Commission shall determine the
aggregate amount of shortfalls in payments that occurred in the
Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund pursuant to Section
4.3.2.1 of the tribal-state gaming compacts ratified and in effect
as provided in subdivision (f) of Section 19 of Article IV of the
California Constitution as determined below:

(A) For each eligible recipient Indian tribe that received money
for all four quarters of the fiscal year, the difference between one
million one hundred thousand dollars ($1,100,000) and the actual
amount paid to each eligible recipient Indian tribe during the fiscal
year from the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund.

(B) For each eligible recipient Indian tribe that received moneys
for less than four quarters of the fiscal year, the difference between
two hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($275,000) for each
quarter in the fiscal year that a recipient Indian tribe was eligible
to receive moneys and the actual amount paid to each eligible
recipient Indian tribe during the fiscal year from the Indian Gaming
Revenue Sharing Trust Fund.

(2) For purposes of this section, “eligible recipient Indian tribe”
means a noncompact tribe, as defined in Section 4.3.2(a)(i) of the
tribal-state gaming compacts ratified and in effect as provided in
subdivision (f) of Section 19 of Article IV of the California
Constitution.

(b) The California Gambling Control Commission shall provide
to the committee in the Senate and Assembly that considers the
State Budget an estimate of the amount needed to backfill the
Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund on or before the date
of the May budget revision for each fiscal year.

(c) An eligible recipient Indian tribe may not receive an amount
from the backfill appropriated following the estimate made
pursuant to subdivision (b) that would give the eligible recipient
Indian tribe an aggregate amount in excess of two hundred
seventy-five thousand dollars ($275,000) per eligible quarter. Any
funds transferred from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution
Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund that result
in a surplus shall revert back to the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund following the authorization of the final payment
of the fiscal year.

(d) Upon a transfer of moneys from the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust
Fund and appropriation from the trust fund, the California
Gambling Control Commission shall distribute the moneys without
delay to eligible recipient Indian tribes for each quarter that a tribe
was eligible to receive a distribution during the fiscal year
immediately preceding.

(e) For each fiscal year commencing with the 2005-06 fiscal
year, all of the following shall apply and subdivisions (b) to (d),
inclusive, shall not apply:

(1) On or before the day of the May budget revision for each
fiscal year, the California Gambling Control Commission shall
determine the anticipated total amount of shortfalls in payment
likely to occur in the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund
for the upcoming fiscal year, and shall provide to the committee
in the Senate and Assembly that considers the State Budget an
estimate of the amount needed to transfer from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund to backfill the Indian Gaming Revenue
Sharing Trust Fund for the next fiscal year. The anticipated total
amount of shortfalls to be transferred from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing
Trust Fund shall be determined by the California Gambling Control
Commission as follows:

(A) The anticipated number of eligible recipient tribes that will
be eligible to receive payments for the next fiscal year, multiplied
by one million one hundred thousand dollars ($1,100,000), with
that product reduced by the amount anticipated to be paid by the
tribes directly into the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund
for the fiscal year.

(B) This amount shall be based upon actual payments received
into the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund the previous
fiscal year, with adjustments made due to amendments to existing
tribal-state compacts or newly executed tribal-state compacts with
respect to payments to be made to the Indian Gaming Revenue
Sharing Trust Fund.

(2) The Legislature shall transfer from the Indian Gaming
Special Distribution Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing
Trust Fund an amount sufficient for each eligible recipient tribe
to receive a total not to exceed two hundred seventy-five thousand
dollars ($275,000) for each quarter in the upcoming fiscal year an
eligible recipient tribe is eligible to receive moneys, for a total not
to exceed one million one hundred thousand dollars ($1,100,000)
for the entire fiscal year. The California Gambling Control
Commission shall make quarterly payments from the Indian
Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund to each eligible recipient
Indian tribe within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter.

(3) If the transfer of funds from the Indian Gaming Special
Distribution Fund to the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust
Fund results in a surplus, the funds shall remain in the Indian
Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund for disbursement in future
years, and if necessary, adjustments shall be made to future
distributions from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund
to the Revenue Sharing Trust Fund.

(4) In the event the amount appropriated for the fiscal year is
insufficient to ensure each eligible recipient tribe receives the total
of two hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($275,000) for each
fiscal quarter, the Department of Finance, after consultation with
the California Gambling Control Commission, shall submit to the
Legislature a request for a budget augmentation for the current
fiscal year with an explanation as to the reason why the amount
appropriated for the fiscal year was insufficient.

(5) At the end of each fiscal quarter, the California Gambling
Control Commission’s Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust
Fund report shall include information that identifies each of the
eligible recipient tribes eligible to receive a distribution for that
fiscal quarter, the amount paid into the Indian Gaming Revenue
Sharing Trust Fund by each of the tribes pursuant to the applicable
sections of the tribal-state compact, and the amount necessary to
backfill from the Indian Gaming Special Distribution Fund the
shortfall in the Indian Gaming Revenue Sharing Trust Fund in
order for each eligible recipient tribe to receive the total of two
hundred seventy-five thousand dollars ($275,000) for the fiscal
quarter.

(a) This section applies to every action brought in
the name of the people of the State of California by the
Commissioner of Business Oversight before, on, or after the
effective date of this section, when enforcing provisions of those
laws administered by the Commissioner of Business Oversight
which authorize the Commissioner of Business Oversight to seek
a permanent or preliminary injunction, restraining order, or writ
of mandate, or the appointment of a receiver, monitor, conservator,
or other designated fiduciary or officer of the court, except actions
brought against any of the licensees specified in subparagraphs
(1) through (8), inclusive, of subdivision (b) of Section 300 of the
Financial Code that are governed by other law. Upon a proper
showing, a permanent or preliminary injunction, restraining order,
or writ of mandate shall be granted and a receiver, monitor,
conservator, or other designated fiduciary or officer of the court
may be appointed for the defendant or the defendant’s assets, or
any other ancillary relief may be granted as appropriate. The court
may order that the expenses and fees of the receiver, monitor,
conservator, or other designated fiduciary or officer of the court,
be paid from the property held by the receiver, monitor,
conservator, or other court designated fiduciary or officer, but
neither the state, the Business, Consumer Services and Housing
Agency, nor the Department of Business Oversight shall be liable
for any of those expenses and fees, unless expressly provided for
by written contract.

(b) The receiver, monitor, conservator, or other designated
fiduciary or officer of the court may do any of the following subject
to the direction of the court:

(1) Sue for, collect, receive, and take into possession all the real
and personal property derived by any unlawful means, including
property with which that property or the proceeds thereof has been
commingled if that property or the proceeds thereof cannot be
identified in kind because of the commingling.

(2) Take possession of all books, records, and documents
relating to any unlawfully obtained property and the proceeds
thereof. In addition, they shall have the same right as a defendant
to request, obtain, inspect, copy, and obtain copies of books,
records, and documents maintained by third parties that relate to
unlawfully obtained property and the proceeds thereof.

(3) Transfer, encumber, manage, control, and hold all property
subject to the receivership, including the proceeds thereof, in the
manner directed or ratified by the court.

(4) Avoid a transfer of any interest in any unlawfully obtained
property including the proceeds thereof to any person who
committed, aided or abetted, or participated in the commission of
unlawful acts or who had knowledge that the property had been
unlawfully obtained.

(5) Avoid a transfer of any interest in any unlawfully obtained
property including the proceeds thereof made with the intent to
hinder or delay the recovery of that property or any interest in it
by the receiver or any person from whom the property was
unlawfully obtained.

(6) Avoid a transfer of any interest in any unlawfully obtained
property including the proceeds thereof that was made within one
year before the date of the entry of the receivership order if less
than a reasonably equivalent value was given in exchange for the
transfer, except that a bona fide transferee for value and without
notice that the property had been unlawfully obtained may retain
the interest transferred until the value given in exchange for the
transfer is returned to the transferee.

(7) Avoid a transfer of any interest in any unlawfully obtained
property including the proceeds thereof made within 90 days before
the date of the entry of the receivership order to a transferee from
whom the defendant unlawfully obtained some property if (A) the
receiver establishes that the avoidance of the transfer will promote
a fair pro rata distribution of restitution among all people from
whom defendants unlawfully obtained property and (B) the
transferee cannot establish that the specific property transferred
was the same property which had been unlawfully obtained from
the transferee.

(8) Exercise any power authorized by statute or ordered by the
court.

(c) No person with actual or constructive notice of the
receivership shall interfere with the discharge of the receiver’s
duties.

(d) No person may file any action or enforce or create any lien,
or cause to be issued, served, or levied any summons, subpoena,
attachment, or writ of execution against the receiver or any property
subject to the receivership without first obtaining prior court
approval upon motion with notice to the receiver and the
Commissioner of Business Oversight. Any legal procedure
described in this subdivision commenced without prior court
approval is void except as to a bona fide purchaser or encumbrancer
for value and without notice of the receivership. No person without
notice of the receivership shall incur any liability for commencing
or maintaining any legal procedure described by this subdivision.

(e) The court has jurisdiction of all questions arising in the
receivership proceedings and may make any orders and judgments
as may be required, including orders after noticed motion by the
receiver to avoid transfers as provided in paragraphs (4), (5), (6),
and (7) of subdivision (b).

(f) This section is cumulative to all other provisions of law.

(g) If any provision of this section or the application thereof to
any person or circumstances is held invalid, that invalidity shall
not affect other provisions or applications of this section which
can be given effect without the invalid provision or application,
and to this end the provisions of this section are severable.

(h) The recordation of a copy of the receivership order imparts
constructive notice of the receivership in connection with any
matter involving real property located in the county in which the
receivership order is recorded.

unique geographical, financial, or other circumstances affecting
the business. No business for which a zero assessment rate is set
pursuant to this subdivision shall be sent a ballot or entitled to
participate in the initial referendum, or in any subsequent
referendum in which its rate of assessment is set at zero.

(b) The board of commissioners shall consist of 37
commissioners comprising the following:

(1) The director, who shall serve as chairperson.

(2) (A) Twelve members, who are professionally active in the
tourism industry, and whose primary business, trade, or profession
is directly related to the tourism industry, shall be appointed by
the Governor. Each appointed commissioner shall represent only
one of the 12 tourism regions designated by the office, and the
appointed commissioners shall be selected so as to represent, to
the greatest extent possible, the diverse elements of the tourism
industry. Appointed commissioners are not limited to individuals
who are employed by or represent assessed businesses.

(B) If an appointed commissioner ceases to be professionally
active in the tourism industry or his or her primary business, trade,
or profession ceases to be directly related to the tourism industry,
he or she shall automatically cease to be an appointed
commissioner 90 days following the date on which he or she ceases
to meet both of the eligibility criteria specified in subparagraph

a referendum, the nominee for each commissioner slot with the
most weighted votes from assessed businesses within that industry
category shall be elected commissioner. In the event that an elected
commissioner resigns, dies, or is removed from office during his
or her term, the commission shall appoint a replacement from the
same industry category that the commissioner in question
represented, and that commissioner shall fill the remaining term
of the commissioner in question. The number of commissioners
elected from each industry category shall be determined by the
weighted percentage of assessments from that category.

(e) The director may remove any elected commissioner
following a hearing at which the commissioner is found guilty of
abuse of office or moral turpitude.

(f) (1) The term of each elected commissioner shall commence
July 1 of the year next following his or her election, and shall
expire on June 30 of the fourth year following his or her election.
If an elected commissioner ceases to be employed by or with an
assessed business in the category and segment which he or she
was representing, his or her term as an elected commissioner shall
automatically terminate 90 days following the date on which he
or she ceases to be so employed, unless, within that 90-day period,
the commissioner again is employed by or with an assessed
business in the same category and segment.

(2) Terms of elected commissioners that would otherwise expire
effective December 31 of the year during which legislation adding
this subdivision is enacted shall automatically be extended until
June 30 of the following year.

(g) With the exception of the director, no commissioner shall
serve for more than two consecutive terms. For purposes of this
subdivision, the phrase “two consecutive terms” shall not include
partial terms.

(h) Except for the original commissioners, all commissioners
shall serve four-year terms. One-half of the commissioners
originally appointed or elected shall serve a two-year term, while
the remainder shall serve a four-year term. Every two years
thereafter, one-half of the commissioners shall be appointed or
elected by referendum.

(i) The selection committee shall determine the initial slate of
candidates for elected commissioners. Thereafter the
commissioners, by adopted resolution, shall nominate a slate of
candidates, and shall include any additional candidates complying
with the procedure described in Section 13995.62.

(j) The commissioners shall elect a vice chairperson from the
elected commissioners.

(k) The commission may lease space from the office.

(l) The commission and the office shall be the official state
representatives of California tourism.

(m) All commission meetings shall be held in California.

(n) No person shall receive compensation for serving as a
commissioner, but each commissioner shall receive reimbursement
for reasonable expenses incurred while on authorized commission
business.

(o) Assessed businesses shall vote only for commissioners
representing their industry category.

(p) Commissioners shall comply with the requirements of the
Political Reform Act of 1974 (Title 9 (commencing with Section
81000)). The Legislature finds and declares that commissioners
appointed or elected on the basis of membership in a particular
tourism segment are appointed or elected to represent and serve
the economic interests of those tourism segments and that the
economic interests of these members are the same as those of the
public generally.

(q) Commission meetings shall be subject to the requirements
of the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing
with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1).

(r) The executive director of the commission shall serve as
secretary to the commission, a nonvoting position, and shall keep
the minutes and records of all commission meetings.

(a) Upon receipt of the resolution required by
Section 13995.60, including any assessed business referendum
request pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 13995.52 or Section
13995.62, the director shall establish a referendum period not to
exceed 60 days. If the director determines that the referendum
period so established does not provide sufficient time for the
balloting, the director may extend the referendum period not more
than 15 additional days. At the close of the referendum period, the
director shall count and tabulate the ballots filed during the
referendum period.

(b) The director shall establish a deadline for adoption of the
resolution described in subdivision (a). If the commission fails to
meet this deadline, or if the adopted resolution fails to meet the

Section 13995.64 of the Government Code is
amended to read:

13995.64.  

(a) Each assessed business is entitled to a weighted
vote in each referendum. In calculating weighted votes, each
assessed business receives a vote equal to the relative assessment
paid by that business. An assessed business paying nine hundred
dollars ($900) in annual assessments has three times the weighted
vote of a business paying three hundred dollars ($300). Weighted
votes are used to determine all issues on the referendum. The initial
referendum, and any referendum item to terminate the commission,
must be approved by a majority of the weighted votes cast at the
referendum. The amount of assessment and selection of
commissioners is determined by the most weighted votes, whether
or not there is a majority.

(b) For purposes of voting in any referendum, each assessed
business is part of one industry category and one industry segment,
and for voting purposes only, a business with revenue in more than
one industry category or industry segment shall only be included
in the category and segment in which it earns the most gross
revenue.

(c) Each assessed business is eligible to vote for each item on
the referendum, except that an assessed business can only vote for
commissioners representing its industry category, and industry
segment formulae for its industry segment.

(d) A business is not eligible to vote unless it has paid all
assessments and fines outstanding as of a date established by the
director.

Section 13995.65 of the Government Code is

13995.65.  

(a) Each industry category shall establish a
committee to determine the following within its industry category:
industry segments, assessment formula for each industry segment,
and any types of business exempt from assessment. The initial
segment committees shall consist of the subcommittee for that
category as described in subdivision (d) of Section 13995.30.
Following approval of the assessment by referendum, the
committees shall be selected by the commission, based upon
recommendations from the tourism industry. Committee members
need not be commission members.

(b) The committee recommendations shall be presented to the
commission or selection committee, as applicable. The selection
committee may adopt a resolution specifying some or all of the
items listed in subdivision (a), plus an allocation of the overall
assessment among industry categories. The commission may adopt
a resolution specifying one or more of the items listed in
subdivision (a), plus an allocation of the proposed assessment. The
selection committee and commission are not required to adopt the
findings of any committee.

(c) The initial industry category and industry segment allocations
shall be included in the selection committee report required by
subdivision (b) of Section 13995.30. Changes to the industry
segment allocation formula may be recommended to the
commission by a segment committee at the biennial commission
meeting scheduled to approve the referendum resolution pursuant
to Section 13995.60. At the same meeting, the commission may
amend the percentage allocations among industry categories. Any
item discussed in this section that is approved by resolution of the
commission, except amendments to the percentage allocations
among industry categories, shall be placed on the next referendum,
and adopted if approved by the majority of weighted votes cast.

(d) Upon approval by referendum, the office shall mail an
assessment bill to each assessed business. The director shall
determine how often assessments are collected, based upon
available staffing resources. The director may stagger the
assessment collection throughout the year, and charge businesses
a prorated amount of assessment because of the staggered
assessment period. The director and office shall not divulge the
amount of assessment or weighted votes of any assessed businesses,
except as part of an assessment action.

(e) An assessed business may appeal an assessment to the
director based upon the fact that the business does not meet the
definition established for an assessed business within its industry
segment or that the level of assessment is incorrect. An appeal
brought under this subdivision shall be supported by substantial
evidence submitted under penalty of perjury by affidavit or
declaration as provided in Section 2015.5 of the Code of Civil
Procedure. If the error is based upon failure of the business to
provide the required information in a timely manner, the director
may impose a fee for reasonable costs incurred by the director in
correcting the assessment against the business as a condition of
correcting the assessment.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an assessed
business may pass on some or all of the assessment to customers.
An assessed business that is passing on the assessment may, but
shall not be required to, separately identify or itemize the
assessment on any document provided to a customer. Assessments
levied pursuant to this chapter and passed on to customers are not
part of gross receipts or gross revenue for any purpose, including
the calculation of sales or use tax and income pursuant to any lease.
However, assessments that are passed on to customers shall be
included in gross receipts for purposes of income and franchise
taxes.

(g) For purposes of calculating the assessment for a business
with revenue in more than one industry category or industry
segment, that business may elect to be assessed based on either of
the following:

(1) The assessment methodology and rate of assessment
applicable to each category or segment, respectively, as it relates
to the revenue that it derives from that category or segment.

(2) With respect to its total revenue from all industry categories
or segments, the assessment methodology and rate of assessment
applicable to the revenue in the category and segment in which it
earns the most gross revenue.

(h) (1) A person sharing common ownership, management, or
control of more than one assessed business may elect to calculate,
administer, and pay the assessment owed by each business by any
of the following methods:

(A) Calculated on the basis of each individual business location.

(B) Calculated on the basis of each business, or each group of
businesses, possessing a single federal employer identification
number, regardless of the number of locations involved.

(C) Calculated on the basis of the average aggregate percentage
of tourism-related gross revenue received by all of the person’s
businesses in a particular industry segment or industry category
during the period in question, multiplied by the total aggregate
tourism-related gross revenue received by all of the businesses,
and then multiplied by the appropriate assessment formula. For
example, if a person sharing common ownership, management, or
control of more than one assessed business in the retail industry
segment calculates that the average percentage of tourism-related
gross revenue received by all of its locations equals 6 percent
during the period in question, that person may multiply all of the
gross revenue received from all of those locations by 6 percent,
and then multiply that product by the applicable assessment
formula.

(D) Calculated on any other basis authorized by the director.

(2) Except as the director may otherwise authorize, the methods
in subparagraph (B), (C), or (D) of paragraph (1) shall not be used
if the aggregate assessments paid would be less than the total
assessment revenues that would be paid if the method in
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) were used.

percent for each 30 days the assessment is unpaid, prorated over
the days unpaid, commencing 30 days after the notice has been

A business is exempt from the assessments provided
for in this chapter if any of the following apply:

(a) The business is a travel agency or tour operator that derives
less than 20 percent of its gross revenue annually from travel and
tourism occurring within the state. A travel agency or tour operator
that qualifies for this exemption may participate as an assessed
business by paying an assessment calculated on the same basis
applicable to other travel agencies or tour operators, respectively,
and by filing a written request with the director indicating its desire
to be categorized as an assessed business.

(b) The business is a small business. For purposes of this section,
“small business” means a business location with less than one
million dollars ($1,000,000) in total California gross annual
revenue from all sources. This threshold amount may be lowered,
but never to less than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000),
by means of a referendum conducted pursuant to Section 13995.60;
however, the director may elect to forgo assessing a business for
which the expense incurred in collecting the assessment is not
commensurate with the assessment that would be collected.

(c) The assessments provided for in this chapter shall not apply

report or provide supplemental information is provided, the director
may make one or more deficiency determinations of the amount
due for any reporting period based on information in the director’s
possession. When an assessed business is discontinued, a deficiency
determination may be made at anytime thereafter as to the liability
arising out of the operation of that business.

(b) The director shall give notice of the proposed deficiency
determination and the notice of deficiency determination by mailing
a copy of the deficiency to the assessed business at the current
address for that business on file with the director. The giving of
notice is complete at the time of deposit in the United States mail.
In lieu of mailing, a notice may be served personally by delivering
it to the person to be served.

(c) Except in the case of fraud or failure to file required
information, a notice of a deficiency determination shall be given
within four years of the accrual of the deficiency.

(d) The person against whom a deficiency determination is made
may petition the director for redetermination within 30 days after
the serving of the notice of deficiency determination. If a petition
is not filed within 30 days, the deficiency determination shall
become final.

(e) A petition for redetermination shall be in writing, state the
specific grounds upon which it is based, and be supported by
applicable records and declarations under penalty of perjury that
the information supporting the petition is accurate and complete.
If a petition for redetermination is duly filed, the director shall
reconsider the deficiency determination and may grant a hearing
thereon. The director shall, as soon as practicable, make an order
on redetermination, which shall become final 30 days after service
of notice of the order of redetermination upon the petitioner. The
notice of the order shall be served in the same manner as the notice
of the original deficiency determination.

(f) If any amount required to be paid pursuant to a deficiency
determination or redetermination is not paid within the time
specified in the notice thereof, the director may, within four years
thereafter, file in the Superior Court in the County of Sacramento,
or the superior court in any other county, a certificate specifying
the amount required to be paid, the name and address of the person
liable as it appears on the records of the director, and a request
that judgment be entered against the person in that amount 30 days
after the filing. Notice of the filing shall be given in the same
manner as for the notice of deficiency determination. The court
shall enter a judgment in conformance with the director’s certificate
30 days after its filing, unless a petition for judicial review has
been filed within the 30-day period.

(g) An abstract of the judgment, or a copy thereof, may be filed
with the county recorder of any county. From the time of filing of
the judgment, the amount of the judgment constitutes a lien upon
all of the property in the county owned by the judgment debtor.
The lien has the force, effect and priority of a judgment lien and
shall continue for 10 years from the date of the judgment, unless
sooner released or otherwise discharged. The lien imposed by this
section is not valid insofar as personal property is concerned against
a purchaser of value without actual knowledge of the lien.

(h) Execution shall issue upon the judgment upon request of
the director in the same manner as execution may issue upon other
judgments, and sales shall be held under execution as prescribed
in the Code of Civil Procedure.

(i) The person named in a notice of deficiency determination
or redetermination may, within 30 days of the notice of filing with
the superior court, file an action for judicial review thereof, as
provided herein, in the Superior Court in the County of Sacramento
or, with the director’s consent, the superior court in any other
county. As a condition of staying entry of judgment or granting
other relief, the court shall require the filing of a corporate surety
bond with the director in the amount of the deficiency stated in
the certificate. In any court proceeding, the certificate of the
director determining the deficiency shall be prima facie evidence
of the fee and the amount due and unpaid.

(j) The provisions of this section are supplemental to any other
procedures for collection and imposition of fees and penalties
provided by this chapter.

(k) In lieu of proceeding pursuant to this section, the director
may file a complaint for collection of unpaid assessments as
provided by law.

solely by the committee. In the event that the subcommittee cannot
agree on one or more of the items specified in subdivision (c), no
recommendation shall be given in that category. The
recommendations shall be presented to the full committee, which
shall address each of the items contained in subdivision (c).

(f) In order to be assessed, an industry segment shall be defined
with sufficient clarity to allow for the cost-effective identification
of assessed businesses within that segment.

(g) It shall be the responsibility of the county selection
committee to advertise widely the selection committee process
and to schedule public meetings for potential assessed businesses
to provide input to the selection committee.

(h) The selection committee process and report shall be exempt
from the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act
(Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1).

(i) The Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau shall be
asked to supply staff support to the county selection committee.

Section 15363.61 of the Government Code is
amended to read:

15363.61.  

(a) The Legislature finds and declares as follows:

(1) The entertainment industry is one of California’s leading
industries in terms of employment and tax revenue.

(2) While film, television, and commercial production in
California has expanded over the years, other states and countries
actively compete for California production business. It is generally
acknowledged that certain segments of the industry, mainly film
and television production, are especially hard hit in California.
The Legislature finds that this is due to assertive efforts of other
states and countries, offering various incentives for filming outside
of California. As a result of increased marketing efforts by other
states and countries, unemployment in certain film industry sectors
and a reduction of film business has occurred within California.

(3) Recognizing the vital role the entertainment industry plays
in California’s economy, legislation enacted in 1985 created the
California Film Commission to facilitate, retain, and attract filming
in California.

(4) In order to stop the decline of California film production, it
is necessary and appropriate to assist in the underwriting of actual
costs incurred by production companies to film in California and
to provide opportunities for production companies and other film
industry companies to lease property owned by the State of
California at below market rates.

(5) Providing the funds designated under this program, and
leasing property owned by the State of California at below market
rates is in the public interest and serves a public purpose, and
providing incentives to production companies and other film
industry companies will promote the prosperity, health, safety,
and welfare of the citizens of the State of California.

(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that, commencing with the
2002-03 fiscal year, funding for the program from the General
Fund shall not exceed the General Fund funding level for the prior
fiscal year.

(a) The secretary shall, within a reasonable time after
submission of a complete application for certification pursuant to
Section 25404.2, and regulations adopted pursuant to that section,
but not to exceed 180 days, review the application, and, after
holding a public hearing, determine if the application should be
approved. Before disapproving an application for certification, the
secretary shall submit to the applicant agency a notification of the
secretary’s intent to disapprove the application, in which the
secretary shall specify the reasons why the applicant agency does
not have the capability or the resources to fully implement and
enforce the unified program in a manner that is consistent with the

specified in the notification and to correct deficiencies in its
application. The applicant agency may request a second public
hearing, at which the secretary shall hear the applicant agency’s
response to the reasons specified in the notification.

the following factors:

(1) Adequacy of the technical expertise possessed by each

of the unified program, including, but not limited to, whether the
agency responsible for implementing and enforcing the
requirements of Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100)

California Code of Regulations.

(2) Adequacy of staff resources.

(c) (1) In making the determination of whether or not to certify
a particular applicant agency as a certified unified program agency,
the secretary shall consider the applications of every other applicant
agency applying to be a certified unified program agency within
the same county, in order to determine the impact of each
certification decision on the county. If the secretary identifies that
there may be adverse impacts on the county if any particular agency
in a county is certified, the secretary shall work cooperatively with
each affected agency to address the secretary’s concerns.

(2) The secretary shall not certify an agency to be a certified
unified program agency unless the secretary finds both of the
following:

(A) The unified program will be implemented in a coordinated
and consistent manner throughout the entire county in which the
applicant agency is located.

(B) The administration of the unified program throughout the
entire county in which the applicant agency is located will be less
fragmented between jurisdictions, as compared to before January
1, 1994, with regard to the administration of the provisions
specified in subdivision (c) of Section 25404.

(d) (1) The secretary shall not certify an applicant agency that
proposes to allow participating agencies to implement certain
elements of the unified program unless the secretary makes all of
the following findings:

(A) The applicant agency has adequate authority, and has in
place adequate systems, protocols, and agreements, to ensure that
the actions of the other agencies proposed to implement certain
elements of the unified program are fully coordinated and
consistent with each other and with those of the applicant agency,
and to ensure full compliance with the regulations implementing
the unified program adopted by the secretary pursuant to this
chapter.

(B) An agreement between the applicant and other agencies
proposed to implement any elements of the unified program
contains procedures for removing any agencies proposed and
engaged to implement any element of the unified program. The
procedures in the agreement shall include, at a minimum,
provisions for providing notice, stating causes, taking public
comment, making appeals, and resolving disputes.

(C) The other agencies proposed to implement certain elements
of the unified program have the capability and resources to
implement those elements, taking into account the factors
designated in subdivision (b).

(D) All other agencies proposed to implement certain elements
of the unified program shall maintain an agreement with the
applicant agency that ensures that the requirements of Section
25404.2 will be fully implemented.

(E) If the applicant agency proposes that any agency other than
itself will be responsible for implementing aspects of the single
fee system imposed pursuant to Section 25404.5, the applicant
agency maintains an agreement with that agency that ensures that
the fee system is implemented in a fully consistent and coordinated
manner, and that ensures that each participating agency receives
the amount that it determines to constitute its necessary and
reasonable costs of implementing the element or elements of the
unified program that it is responsible for implementing.

(2) After the secretary has certified an applicant agency pursuant
to this subdivision, that agency shall obtain the approval of the
secretary before removing and replacing a participating agency
that is implementing an element of the unified program.

(3) Any state agency, including, but not limited to, the State
Department of Health Care Services, acting as a participating
agency, may contract with a unified program agency to implement
or enforce the unified program.

(e) Until a city’s or county’s application for certification to
implement the unified program is acted upon by the secretary, the
roles, responsibilities, and authority for implementing the programs
identified in subdivision (c) of Section 25404 that existed in that
city or county pursuant to statutory authorization as of December
31, 1993, shall remain in effect.

(f) (1) Except as provided in subparagraph (C) of paragraph
(2) or in Section 25404.8, if no local agency has been certified by
January 1, 1997, to implement the unified program within a city,
the secretary shall designate either the county in which the city is
located or another agency pursuant to subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (2) as the unified program agency.

(2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (C), if no local
agency has been certified by January 1, 2001, to implement the
unified program within the unincorporated or an incorporated area
of a county, the secretary shall determine how the unified program
shall be implemented in the unincorporated area of the county,
and in any city in which there is no agency certified to implement
the unified program. In such an instance, the secretary shall work
in consultation with the county and cities to determine which state
or local agency or combination of state and local agencies should
implement the unified program, and shall determine which state
or local agency shall be designated as the certified unified program
agency.

(B) The secretary shall determine the method by which the
unified program shall be implemented throughout the county and
may select any combination of the following implementation
methods:

(i) The certification of a state or local agency as a certified
unified program agency.

(ii) The certification of an agency from another county as the
certified unified program agency.

(iii) The certification of a joint powers agency as the certified
unified program agency.

(C) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) and subparagraphs (A) and
(B), if the Cities of Sunnyvale, Anaheim, and Santa Ana prevail
in litigation filed in 1997 against the secretary, and, to the extent
the secretary determines that these three cities meet the
requirements for certification, the secretary may certify these cities
as certified unified program agencies.

(g) (1) If a certified unified program agency wishes to withdraw
from its obligations to implement the unified program and is a city
or a joint powers agency implementing the unified program within
a city, the agency may withdraw after providing 180 days’ notice
to the secretary and to the county within which the city is located,
or to the joint powers agency with which the county has an
agreement to implement the unified program.

(2) Whenever a certified unified program agency withdraws
from its obligations to implement the unified program, or the
secretary withdraws an agency’s certification pursuant to Section
25404.4, the successor certified unified program agency shall be
determined in accordance with subdivision (f).

and (3) that is handled at any one time by the business over the
course of the year.

(5) Sufficient information on how and where the hazardous
materials disclosed in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) are handled by

required by Section 25503.9 with the administering agency.

(c) The administering agency may permit the reporting of the
amount of hazardous material under this section by ranges, rather
than a specific amount, as long as those ranges provide the
information necessary to meet the needs of emergency rescue
personnel, to determine the potential hazard from a release of the
materials, and meets the purposes of this chapter.

(d) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (e), the annual
inventory form required by this section shall also include all
inventory information required by Section 11022 of Title 42 of
the United States Code, as that section read on January 1, 1989,

equivalent to the inventory information required under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986
(42 U.S.C. Sec. 11001 et seq.), the requirements of subdivision
(d) shall not apply.

article. It is the intent of the Legislature that this existing authority,
together with any federal assistance that may become available to
implement the accidental release program, be used to fully fund
the activities of the office necessary to implement this article.

Section 35805 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:

35805.  

As used in this part:

(a)  “Agency” means the Business, Consumer Services and
Housing Agency.

(b)  “Fair market value” means the most probable price which
a property should bring in a competitive and open market under
all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each
acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is
not affected by undue stimulus. The use of this definition of fair
market value by a financial institution in an appraisal made at any
time on or after July 1, 1986, does not violate the provisions of
this part.

(c)  “Financial institution” includes any bank, savings and loan
association, or other institution in this state, including a public
agency, that regularly makes, arranges, or purchases loans for the
purchase, construction, rehabilitation, improvement, or refinancing
of housing accommodations.

(d)  “Housing accommodation” includes any improved or
unimproved real property, or portion thereof, that (1) is used or is
intended to be used as a residence, and (2) is or will be occupied
by the owner, and (3) contains not more than four dwelling units.
“Housing accommodation” shall also include any residential
dwelling containing not more than four dwelling units where the
owner thereof, whether or not the owner will occupy the property,
applies or has applied for a secured home improvement loan from
a financial institution, the proceeds of which loan will be used to
improve the security property.

(e)  “Secretary” means the Secretary of Business, Consumer
Services and Housing.

Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code is
amended to read:

50093.  

“Persons and families of low or moderate income”
means persons and families whose income does not exceed 120
percent of area median income, adjusted for family size by the
department in accordance with adjustment factors adopted and
amended from time to time by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 8 of the
United States Housing Act of 1937. However, the agency and the
department jointly, or either acting with the concurrence of the
Secretary of Business, Consumer Services and Housing, may
permit the agency to use higher income limitations in designated
geographic areas of the state, upon a determination that 120 percent
of the median income in the particular geographic area is too low
to qualify a substantial number of persons and families of low or
moderate income who can afford rental or home purchase of
housing financed pursuant to Part 3 (commencing with Section
50900) without subsidy.

“Persons and families of low or moderate income” includes very
low income households, as defined in Section 50105, extremely
low income households, as defined in Section 50106, and lower
income households as defined in Section 50079.5, and includes
persons and families of extremely low income, persons and families
of very low income, persons and families of low income, persons
and families of moderate income, and middle-income families. As
used in this division:

(a)  “Persons and families of low income” or “persons of low
income” means persons or families who are eligible for financial
assistance specifically provided by a governmental agency for the
benefit of occupants of housing financed pursuant to this division.

(b)  “Persons and families of moderate income” or
“middle-income families” means persons and families of low or
moderate income whose income exceeds the income limit for lower
income households.

(c)  “Persons and families of median income” means persons
and families whose income does not exceed the area median
income, as adjusted by the department for family size in accordance
with adjustment factors adopted and amended from time to time
by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing
Act of 1937.

As used in this section, “area median income” means the median
family income of a geographic area of the state, as annually
estimated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Section 8 of the United States Housing
Act of 1937. In the event these federal determinations of area
median income are discontinued, the department shall establish
and publish as regulations income limits for persons and families
of median income for all geographic areas of the state at 100
percent of area median income, and for persons and families of
low or moderate income for all geographic areas of the state at
120 percent of area median income. These income limits shall be
adjusted for family size and shall be revised annually.

For purposes of this section, the department shall file, with the
Office of Administrative Law, any changes in area median income
and income limits determined by the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development, together with any consequent
changes in other derivative income limits determined by the
department pursuant to this section. These filings shall not be
subject to Article 5 (commencing with Section 11346) or Article
6 (commencing with Section 11349) of Chapter 3.5 of Part 1 of
Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, but shall be effective
upon filing with the Office of Administrative Law and shall be
published as soon as possible in the California Regulatory Code
Supplement and the California Code of Regulations.

The department shall establish and publish a general definition
of income, including inclusions, exclusions, and allowances, for
qualifying persons under the income limits of this section and
Sections 50079.5, 50105, and 50106 to be used where no other
federal or state definitions of income apply. This definition need
not be established by regulation.

Nothing in this division shall prevent the agency or the
department from adopting separate family size adjustment factors
or programmatic definitions of income to qualify households,
persons, and families for programs of the agency or department,
as the case may be.

To further the goals of this division and to enable the

closely coordinate their activities to assure that the goals and
purposes of this division are realized. To this end, the Secretary
of Business, Consumer Services and Housing and the director of
the department have been given a role on the board which
administers the agency and approves major contractual agreements,
and a veto power over agency regulations in certain policy areas
as specified in Section 50462, and the agency is required to
coordinate its activities with the department. Subject to these
restrictions, however, and when carrying out its own unique
responsibilities, the agency is relatively free of regulation by other
agencies of state government.

The California Housing Finance Agency, within the
Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency, is a primary
agency in the implementation of state housing policy. The agency’s
role is to make financing opportunities available for the
construction, rehabilitation, and purchase of housing for persons
and families of low or moderate income by (a) borrowing in the
securities markets and relending to housing sponsors, developers,
and homeowners and (b) insuring loans made by the agency or by
others for the same purposes. In general, the agency pays for its
operations out of the excess of its interest revenue from loan
repayments over the cost of the money it borrows or, in the case
of insurance, by the excess of fees charged for the provision of
insurance over the value of claims paid. The agency shall seek to
implement the goals, policies, and objectives of the California
Statewide Housing Plan and shall annually report on its progress
toward compliance with priorities in the California Statewide
Housing Plan.

of housing conditions throughout the state and may highlight data
for multicounty or regional areas, as determined by the department.
The revision shall include a discussion of the housing needs of
various population groups, including, but not limited to, the elderly
persons, disabled persons, large families, families where a female
is the head of the household, and farmworker households.

(e) An updating of recommendations for actions by federal,
state, and local governments and the private sector which will
facilitate the attainment of housing goals established for California.

corresponding and equal payment from funds made available under
Section 50671.6, except that, upon the determination of the Director
of Finance that one of the two rental repair programs has excess
funds, moneys from that fund may be used for either of the other

(e)  By December 1 of each fiscal year, the agency shall
ascertain that not less than 25 percent of the total units financed

this part were made available to very low income households. If
the agency finds that these very low income occupancy goals have
not been met, the agency shall immediately notify the Governor,
the Speaker of the Assembly, and the Senate Committee on Rules,
and shall recommend legislation or other action as may be required
to make (1) at least 25 percent of the units so available, and (2) at
least 25 percent of the units thereafter financed so available. In

Section 13823.2 of the Penal Code is amended to
read:

13823.2.  

(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of
the following:

(1) That violent and serious crimes are being committed against
the elderly on an alarmingly regular basis.

(2) That in 1985, the United States Department of Justice
reported that approximately 1 in every 10 elderly households in
the nation would be touched by crime.

(3) That the California Department of Justice, based upon limited
data received from local law enforcement agencies, reported that
approximately 10,000 violent crimes were committed against
elderly victims in 1985.

(4) That while the elderly may not be the most frequent targets
of crime, when they are victimized the impact of each vicious
attack has long-lasting effects. Injuries involving, for example, a
broken hip may never heal properly and often leave the victim
physically impaired. The loss of money used for food and other
daily living expenses for these costs may be life-threatening for
the older citizen on a fixed income. In addition, stolen or damaged
property often cannot be replaced.

(5) Although the State of California currently funds programs
to provide assistance to victims of crime and to provide general
crime prevention information, there are limited specialized efforts
to respond directly to the needs of elderly victims or to provide
prevention services tailored for the senior population.

(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that victim services, crime
prevention, and criminal justice training programs funded by the
Office of Emergency Services shall include, consistent with
available resources, specialized components that respond to the
diverse needs of elderly citizens residing in the state.

and social problems.

(b) There is in the Office of Emergency Services, a Family
Violence Prevention Program. This program shall provide financial

develop and implement model program protocols and materials.
Forty percent of the state funds received pursuant to this section
shall be allocated to programs to disseminate model program
protocols and materials. Dissemination shall include training for
domestic violence agencies in California. Each of the programs
funded under this section shall focus on no more than two targeted
areas. These targeted model areas shall be determined by the Office
of Emergency Services in consultation with practitioners and
experts in the field of domestic violence, using the domestic
violence model priorities survey of the California Alliance Against
Domestic Violence.

Centers receiving funding shall provide matching funds of at
least 10 percent of the funds received pursuant to this section.

(d) The Office of Emergency Services shall develop and
disseminate throughout the state information and materials
concerning family violence prevention, including, but not limited
to, a procedures manual on prevention models. The Office of

during the previous three years, unless the Office of Emergency
Services is aware of criminal violations relative to the
administration of grant funding.

(8) If an agency receives funding from both the Comprehensive
Statewide Domestic Violence Program in the Office of Emergency
Services and the Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division
of the State Department of Public Health during any grant cycle,
the Comprehensive Statewide Domestic Violence Program and
the Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Division shall, to the
extent feasible, coordinate agency site visits and share performance
assessment data with the goal of improving efficiency, eliminating
duplication, and reducing administrative costs.

(9) DVSSPs receiving written reports of deficiencies or orders
for corrective action after a site visit shall be given no less than
six months’ time to take corrective action before the deficiencies
or failure to correct may be considered in the next RFA process.
However, the Office of Emergency Services shall have the
discretion to reduce the time to take corrective action in cases
where the deficiencies present a significant health or safety risk
or when other severe circumstances are found to exist. If corrective
action is deemed necessary, and a DVSSP fails to comply, or if
other deficiencies exist that, in the judgment of the Office of
Emergency Services, cannot be corrected, the Office of Emergency
Services shall determine, using its grading system, whether
continued funding for the DVSSP should be reduced or denied
altogether. If a DVSSP has been determined to be deficient, the
Office of Emergency Services may, at any point during the
DVSSP’s funding cycle following the expiration of the period for
corrective action, deny or reduce further funding.

(10) If a DVSSP applies or reapplies for funding pursuant to
this section and that funding is denied or reduced, the decision to
deny or reduce funding shall be provided in writing to the DVSSP,
along with a written explanation of the reasons for the reduction
or denial made in accordance with the grading system for the RFP
or RFA process. Except as otherwise provided, an appeal of the
decision to deny or reduce funding shall be made in accordance
with the appeal process established by the Office of Emergency
Services. The appeal process shall allow a DVSSP a minimum of
30 days to appeal after a decision to deny or reduce funding. All
pending appeals shall be resolved before final funding decisions
are reached.

(11) It is the intent of the Legislature that priority for additional
funds that become available shall be given to currently funded,
new, or previously unfunded DVSSPs for expansion of services.
However, the Office of Emergency Services may determine when
expansion is needed to accommodate underserved or unserved
areas. If supplemental funding is unavailable, the Office of
Emergency Services shall have the authority to lower the base
level of grants to all currently funded DVSSPs in order to provide
funding for currently funded, new, or previously unfunded DVSSPs
that will provide services in underserved or unserved areas.
However, to the extent reasonable, funding reductions shall be
reduced proportionately among all currently funded DVSSPs. After
the amount of funding reductions has been determined, DVSSPs
that are currently funded and those applying for funding shall be
notified of changes in the available level of funding prior to the
next application process. Funding reductions made under this
paragraph shall not be subject to appeal.

(12) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, Office
of Emergency Services may reduce funding to a DVSSP funded
pursuant to this section if federal funding support is reduced.
Funding reductions as a result of a reduction in federal funding
shall not be subject to appeal.

(13) Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede any
function or duty required by federal acts, rules, regulations, or
guidelines for the distribution of federal grants.

(14) As a condition of receiving funding pursuant to this section,
DVSSPs shall do all of the following:

(A) Provide matching funds or in-kind contributions equivalent
to not less than 10 percent of the grant they would receive. The
matching funds or in-kind contributions may come from other
governmental or private sources.

(B) Ensure that appropriate staff and volunteers having client
contact meet the definition of “domestic violence counselor” as
specified in subdivision (a) of Section 1037.1 of the Evidence
Code. The minimum training specified in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a) of Section 1037.1 of the Evidence Code shall be
provided to those staff and volunteers who do not meet the
requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 1037.1
of the Evidence Code.

(15) The following definitions shall apply for purposes of this
subdivision:

(A) “Domestic violence” means the infliction or threat of
physical harm against past or present adult or adolescent intimate
partners, including physical, sexual, and psychological abuse
against the partner, and is a part of a pattern of assaultive, coercive,
and controlling behaviors directed at achieving compliance from
or control over that person.

(B) “Domestic violence shelter service provider” or “DVSSP”
means a victim services provider that operates an established
system of services providing safe and confidential emergency
housing on a 24-hour basis for victims of domestic violence and
their children, including, but not limited to, hotel or motel
arrangements, haven, and safe houses.

(C) “Emergency shelter” means a confidential or safe location
that provides emergency housing on a 24-hour basis for victims
of domestic violence and their children.

and others selected at the discretion of the executive director to
consult on the research and development of the training, selection,
and equivalency standards.

assault program to provide services to victims of crime shall adhere
to the training and selection standards established by the Office
of Emergency Services. The standards for sexual assault victim
service programs developed by the advisory committee established

this section. With the exception of the sexual assault standards,
the Office of Emergency Services shall conduct or contract with
an appropriate firm or entity for research on validated standards
pursuant to this section in consultation with the advisory committee
established pursuant to paragraph (1). The Office of Emergency
Services may defer the adoption of the selection standards until

service and management personnel of the victim-witness and sexual
assault agencies funded by the Office of Emergency Services to
provide services to victims of crime. Exemptions from this
requirement may be made by the Office of Emergency Services.
A victim service agency which, despite good faith efforts, is unable
to meet the standards established pursuant to this section, may
apply to the Office of Emergency Services for an exemption. For
the purpose of exemptions, the Office of Emergency Services may
establish procedures that allow for partial adherence. The Office
of Emergency Services may develop equivalency standards which
recognize professional experience, education, training, or a
combination of the above, for personnel hired before July 1, 1987.

(5) Nothing in this section shall prohibit a victim service agency,
funded by the Office of Emergency Services to provide services
to victims of crime, from establishing training and selection
standards which exceed the minimum standards established by the
Office of Emergency Services pursuant to this section.

(d) For purposes of implementing this section, the Office of
Emergency Services has all of the following powers:

(1) To approve or certify, or both, training courses selected by
the agency.

(2) To make those inquiries which may be necessary to
determine whether every local unit of government,

services to victims of crime, is adhering to the standards for training
and selection established pursuant to this section.

(3) To adopt those guidelines which are necessary to carry out
the purposes of this section.

(4) To develop or present, or both, training courses for victim
service providers, or to contract with coalitions, councils, or other

out the intent of this section.

(e) (1) The Office of Emergency Services may utilize any funds
that may become available from the Victim-Witness Assistance
Fund to fund the cost of training staff of victim service agencies
which are funded by the Office of Emergency Services from the
fund. The Office of Emergency Services may utilize federal or
other state funds that may become available to fund the cost of
training staff of victim service agencies which are not eligible for
funding from the Victim-Witness Assistance Fund.

(2) Peace officer personnel whose jurisdictions are eligible for
training subvention pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with
Section 13500) of Title 4 of this part and correctional or probation
personnel whose jurisdictions are eligible for state aid pursuant to
Article 2 (commencing with Section 6035) of Chapter 5 of Title
7 of Part 3 are not eligible to receive training reimbursements under

Section 13864 of the Penal Code, as amended by
Assembly Bill 75 of the 2013-14 Regular Session, is amended to
read:

13864.  

There is hereby created in the Office of Emergency
Services the Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention
Education component of the Suppression of Drug Abuse in Schools
Program in public elementary schools in grades 4 to 6, inclusive.
Notwithstanding Section 13861 or any other provision in this code,
all Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention Education
component funds made available to the Office of Emergency
Services in accordance with the Classroom Instructional
Improvement and Accountability Act shall be administered by and
disbursed to county superintendents of schools in this state by the
Director of Emergency Services. All applications for that funding
shall be reviewed and evaluated by the Office of Emergency
Services, in consultation with the State Department of Health Care
Services and the State Department of Education.

(a) The Director of Emergency Services is authorized to allocate
and award funds to county department superintendents of schools
for allocation to individual school districts or to a consortium of
two or more school districts. Applications funded under this section
shall comply with the criteria, policies, and procedures established
under subdivision (b) of this section.

(b) As a condition of eligibility for the funding described in this
section, the school district or consortium of school districts shall
have entered into an agreement with a local law enforcement
agency to jointly implement a comprehensive alcohol and drug
abuse prevention, intervention, and suppression program developed
by the Office of Emergency Services, in consultation with the State
Department of Health Care Services and the State Department of
Education, containing all of the following components:

(1) A standardized age-appropriate curriculum designed for
pupils in grades 4 to 6, inclusive, specifically tailored and sensitive
to the socioeconomic and ethnic characteristics of the target pupil
population. Although new curricula shall not be required to be
developed, existing curricula may be modified and adapted to meet
local needs. The elements of the standardized comprehensive
alcohol and drug prevention education program curriculum shall
be defined and approved by the Governor’s Policy Council on
Drug and Alcohol Abuse, as established by Executive Order No.
D-70-80.

(2) A planning process that includes assessment of the school
district’s characteristics, resources, and the extent of problems
related to juvenile drug abuse, and input from local law
enforcement agencies.

(3) A school district governing board policy that provides for
a coordinated intervention system that, at a minimum, includes
procedures for identification, intervention, and referral of at-risk
alcohol- and drug-involved youth, and identifies the roles and
responsibilities of law enforcement, school personnel, parents, and
pupils.

(4) Early intervention activities that include, but are not limited
to, the identification of pupils who are high risk or have chronic
drug abuse problems, assessment, and referral for appropriate
services, including ongoing support services.

(5) Parent education programs to initiate and maintain parental
involvement, with an emphasis for parents of at-risk pupils.

(6) Staff and in-service training programs, including both
indepth training for the core team involved in providing program
services and general awareness training for all school faculty and
administrative, credentialed, and noncredentialed school personnel.

(7) In-service training programs for local law enforcement
officers.

(8) School, law enforcement, and community involvement to
ensure coordination of program services. Pursuant to that
coordination, the school district or districts and other local agencies
are encouraged to use a single community advisory committee or
task force for drug, alcohol, and tobacco abuse prevention
programs, as an alternative to the creation of a separate group for
that purpose under each state or federally funded program.

(c) The application of the county superintendent of schools shall
be submitted to the Office of Emergency Services. Funds made
available to the Office of Emergency Services for allocation under
this section are intended to enhance, but shall not supplant, local
funds that would, in the absence of the Comprehensive Alcohol
and Drug Prevention Education component, be made available to
prevent, intervene in, or suppress drug abuse among schoolage
children. For districts that are already implementing a
comprehensive drug abuse prevention program for pupils in grades
4 to 6, inclusive, the county superintendent shall propose the use
of the funds for drug prevention activities in school grades other
than 4 to 6, inclusive, compatible with the program components
of this section. The expenditure of funds for that alternative purpose
shall be approved by the Director of Emergency Services.

(1) Unless otherwise authorized by the Office of Emergency
Services, each county superintendent of schools shall be the fiscal
agent for any Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention
Education component award, and shall be responsible for ensuring
that each school district within that county receives the allocation
prescribed by the Office of Emergency Services. Each county
superintendent shall develop a countywide plan that complies with
program guidelines and procedures established by the Office of
Emergency Services pursuant to subdivision (d). A maximum of
5 percent of the county’s allocation may be used for administrative
costs associated with the project.

(2) Each county superintendent of schools shall establish and
chair a local coordinating committee to assist the superintendent
in developing and implementing a countywide implementation
plan. This committee shall include the county drug administrator,
law enforcement executives, school district governing board
members and administrators, school faculty, parents, and drug
prevention and intervention program executives selected by the
superintendent and approved by the county board of supervisors.

(d) The Director of Emergency Services, in consultation with
the State Department of Health Care Services and the State
Department of Education, shall prepare and issue guidelines and
procedures for the Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention
Education component consistent with this section.

(e) The Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug Prevention Education
component guidelines shall set forth the terms and conditions upon
which the Office of Emergency Services is prepared to award
grants of funds pursuant to this section. The guidelines shall not
constitute rules, regulations, orders, or standards of general
application.

(f) Funds awarded under the Comprehensive Alcohol and Drug
Prevention Education Program shall not be subject to Section
10318 of the Public Contract Code.

(g) Funds available pursuant to Item 8100-111-001 and
Provision 1 of Item 8100-001-001 of the Budget Act of 1989, or
the successor provision of the appropriate Budget Act, shall be
allocated to implement this section.

(h) The Director of Emergency Services shall collaborate, to
the extent possible, with other state agencies that administer drug,
alcohol, and tobacco abuse prevention education programs to
streamline and simplify the process whereby local educational
agencies apply for drug, alcohol, and tobacco education funding
under this section and under other state and federal programs. The
Office of Emergency Services, the State Department of Health
Care Services, the State Department of Education, and other state
agencies, to the extent possible, shall develop joint policies and
collaborate planning in the administration of drug, alcohol, and
tobacco abuse prevention education programs.

Law. All funds appropriated to the office for the purposes of this
chapter shall be administered and disbursed by the director in
consultation with the California Council on Criminal Justice, and
shall to the greatest extent feasible be coordinated or consolidated
with federal funds that may be made available for these purposes.

(b) The director is authorized to allocate and award funds to
counties in which the California Major Narcotic Vendors
Prosecution Law is implemented in substantial compliance with
the policies and criteria set forth in this chapter.

(c) The allocation and award of funds shall be made upon
application executed by the county’s district attorney and approved
by its board of supervisors. Funds disbursed under this chapter
shall not supplant local funds that would, in the absence of the
California Major Narcotic Vendors Prosecution Law, be made
available to support the prosecution of felony drug cases. Funds
available under this program shall not be subject to review, as
specified in Section 14780 of the Government Code.

(d) The director shall prepare and issue written program and
administrative guidelines and procedures for the California Major
Narcotic Vendors Prosecution Program consistent with this chapter,
which shall be submitted to the Chairpersons of the Assembly
Committee on Public Safety and the Senate Committee on Criminal
Procedure. These guidelines shall permit the selection of a county
for the allocation and award of funds only on a finding by the
office that the county is experiencing a proportionately significant
increase in major narcotic cases. Further, the guidelines shall
provide for the allocation and award of funds to small county
applicants, as designated by the director. The guidelines shall also
provide that any funds received by a county under this chapter
shall be used only for the prosecution of cases involving major
narcotic dealers. For purposes of this subdivision, “small county”
means a county having a population of 200,000 or less.

The Legislature further finds that:

(a) It is in the public interest to translate the findings of the
California Commission on Crime Control and Violence Prevention
into community-empowering, community-activated violence
prevention efforts that would educate, inspire, and inform the
citizens of California about, coordinate existing programs relating
to, and provide direct services addressing the root causes of,
violence in California.

(b) The recommendations in the report of the commission can
serve as both the foundation and guidelines for short-,
intermediate-, and long-term programs to address and alleviate
violence in California.

(c) It is in the public interest to facilitate the highest degree of
coordination between, cooperation among, and utilization of public,
nonprofit, and private sector resources, programs, agencies,
organizations, and institutions toward maximally successful
violence prevention and crime control efforts.

(d) Prevention is a sound fiscal, as well as social, policy
objective. Crime and violence prevention programs can and should
yield substantially beneficial results with regard to the exorbitant
costs of both violence and crime to the public and private sectors.

(e) The Office of Emergency Services is the appropriate state
agency to contract for programs addressing the root causes of
violence.

amended to read:

30169.  

(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that a
dispute exists as to the proper location of the inland boundary of
the coastal zone in the area commonly known as Aliso Viejo and
that, after extensive review of the history of this boundary segment,
the criteria utilized to establish the boundary in 1976, and the
relevant topographical information, it is possible to reach differing
conclusions of equal validity regarding the proper location of the
coastal zone boundary. The Legislature further finds that it is not
possible to determine objectively which ridgeline feature in the
Aliso Viejo area most closely approximates the boundary criteria
utilized by the Legislature in 1976, and that it is in the best public
interest to resolve the current boundary dispute in order to avoid
further delay in the completion of the local coastal program for
Orange County. The Legislature further finds that a timely
resolution of this boundary dispute can best be accomplished by
adjusting the coastal zone boundary in the manner set forth in this
section and within the general framework of Section 30103 and
consistent with the need to protect the coastal resources of the
Aliso Viejo area and to carry out the requirements of Section
30213.

(b) In the Aliso Creek area of Orange County approximately
286 acres are added and approximately 1,020 acres are excluded
as specifically shown on maps 28A and 28B dated April 15, 1980,
and filed on April 22, 1980, with the office of the Secretary of
State and which are on file in the office of the commission. The
maps are hereby adopted by reference. The changes made in the
inland boundary of the coastal zone by this section are in addition
to any changes made by any map referred to in Section 30150,
except to the extent that the changes made by this section affect a
segment of the boundary previously changed by the map, in which
case the changes made by this section shall supersede any of those
previous changes.

(c) The executive director of the commission may adjust the
precise location of the inland boundary of the coastal zone not
more than 100 yards in either a seaward or landward direction in
order to conform the precise boundary location to the specific
limits of development adjacent to the coastal zone boundary as
shown on maps 28A and 28B. However, in any subdivided area,
the executive director may adjust the precise location of the inland
boundary of the coastal zone not more than 100 feet in a landward
direction in order to include any development of the first row of
lots immediately adjacent to the boundary as shown on those maps,
where the executive director determines that the adjustment is
necessary to ensure that adequate controls will be applied to the
development in order to minimize any potential adverse effects
on the coastal zone resources. The executive director shall prepare
a detailed map showing any of the changes and shall file a copy
of the map with the county clerk.

(d) Prior to the adoption and approval of a drainage control plan
by the County of Orange for the Aliso Viejo Planned Community
(as designated by Amendment No. L. U. 79-1 to the Land Use
Element of the Orange County General Plan), the county shall
consult with the executive director of the commission to ensure
that any drainage control facilities located outside the coastal zone
are adequate to provide for no increase in peak runoff, by virtue
of the development of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, which
would result in adverse impacts on coastal zone resources.

(e) On or before January 31, 1981, the commission shall, after
public hearing and in consultation with the County of Orange,
certify or reject a local coastal program segment prepared and
submitted by the county on or before August 1, 1980, for the
following parcel in the Aliso Creek area: land owned by the Aliso
Viejo Company, a California corporation, as of April 22, 1980,
within the coastal zone as amended by this section. The local
coastal program required by this subdivision shall, for all purposes
of this division, constitute a certified local coastal program segment
for that parcel in the County of Orange. The segment of the
county’s local coastal program for the parcel may be amended
pursuant to this division relating to the amendment of local coastal
programs. If the commission neither certifies nor rejects the
submitted local coastal program within the time limit specified in
this subdivision, the land added to the coastal zone by this section
shall no longer be subject to this division. It is the intent of the
Legislature in enacting this subdivision, that a procedure to
expedite the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program
for that land be established so that the public and the affected
property owner know as soon as possible what uses are permissible.

(f) The commission, through its executive director, shall enter
into a binding and enforceable agreement with Aliso Viejo
Company, and the agreement shall be recorded as a covenant to
run with the land with no prior liens other than tax and assessment
liens restricting the Aliso Viejo Planned Community. The
agreement shall provide for all of the following:

(1) The Aliso Viejo Company shall provide at least 1,000 units
of for-sale housing to moderate-income persons at prices affordable
to a range of households earning from 81 to 120 percent of the
median income for Orange County as adjusted for family size
pursuant to the commission’s housing guidelines on affordable
housing dated January 22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any
additional provisions as agreed to between the commission and
the Aliso Viejo Company as referred to in this subdivision.

For purposes of this subdivision, median income constitutes the
figure most recently established by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development at the time the public report for the units,
or any portion thereof, is issued by the Bureau of Real Estate. The
affordable units required by this subdivision shall be priced equally
over the moderate-income range and shall reflect a reasonable mix
as to size and number of bedrooms.

(2) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision shall
be sold subject to controls on resale substantially as provided in
the commission’s housing guidelines on affordable housing, dated
January 22, 1980, and July 16, 1979, and any additional provisions
as agreed to between the commission and the Aliso Viejo Company
as referred to in this subdivision. On or before entering the
agreement provided for herein, the Aliso Viejo Company shall
enter into an agreement, approved by the executive director of the
commission, with the Orange County Housing Authority or any
other appropriate housing agency acceptable to the executive
director of the commission to provide for the administration of the
resale controls including the qualification of purchasers.

(3) The 1,000 units provided pursuant to this subdivision may
be dispersed throughout the Aliso Viejo Planned Community, and
shall be completed and offered for sale prior to, or simultaneously
with, other units in the overall project, so that at any time at least
71⁄2 percent of the units constructed shall be resale-controlled until
the 1,000 units are completed.

(4) The Department of Housing and Community Development
and the County of Orange shall be third-party beneficiaries to the
agreement provided in this subdivision and shall have the power
to enforce any and all provisions of the agreement.

(5) This agreement may only be amended upon the
determination of the Aliso Viejo Company or its successors or
assigns, the commission, the Department of Housing and
Community Development, and the County of Orange that the
change is necessary in order to prevent adverse effects on the
supply of low- and moderate-income housing opportunities and
to improve the methods of providing the housing at continually
affordable prices.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that, because the Aliso
Viejo Company, in addition to the 1,000 units of controlled housing
provided in this subdivision, will provide for 2,000 units of
subsidized affordable housing for low-income persons and 2,000
affordable housing units for moderate-income persons pursuant
to the company’s housing program, the purposes of Section 30213
will be met by enactment of this subdivision. The Legislature
further finds and declares that the general provisions of this
subdivision are specifically described and set forth in letters by
Aliso Viejo Company and the executive director of the commission
published in the Journals of the Senate and the Assembly of the
1979-80 Regular Session, and it is the intent of the Legislature
that the commission and Aliso Viejo Company conform the
agreement provided in this subdivision to the specific provisions
described in the letters.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the application
of this division by the commission to the development or use of
any infrastructure necessary and appropriate to serve development
within the portions of the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located
inland of the coastal zone as amended by this section, shall be
strictly limited to addressing direct impacts on coastal zone
resources and shall be carried out in a manner that assures that the
infrastructure will be provided. Furthermore, the commission shall
amend without conditions its prior permit No. A-61-76 to provide
for its release of sewer outfall flow limitations necessary and
appropriate to serve the Aliso Viejo Planned Community located
inland of the coastal zone as amended by this subdivision. For
purposes of this subdivision, “infrastructure” means those facilities
and improvements necessary and appropriate to develop, construct,
and serve urban communities, including but not limited to, streets,
roads, and highways; transportation systems and facilities; schools;
parks; water and sewage systems and facilities; electric, gas, and
communications systems and facilities; and drainage and flood
control systems and facilities. Notwithstanding this subdivision,
the commission may limit, or reasonably condition, the use of the
transit corridor in Aliso Creek Valley to transit uses, uses approved
by the commission that will serve the Aliso Greenbelt Project
prepared by the State Coastal Conservancy, the provision of access
to and from the sewage treatment works in Aliso Creek Valley,
emergency uses, and drainage and flood control systems and
facilities and other services approved pursuant to this subdivision.

(h)  This section shall become operative only when the
commission and Aliso Viejo Company have entered into the
binding and enforceable agreement provided for in this section,
and the agreement has been duly recorded with the county recorder
of Orange County.

increased public safety.

(2) To evaluate the extent to which technological changes have
reduced the relevance of existing regulatory regimes given their
current segmentation based upon technology.

(3) To receive broad-based input from a cross section of
interested parties and make recommendations on whether video,
data, and Internet service providers should be incorporated into
an enhanced Universal Lifeline Service program, as specified,
including relevant policy recommendations regarding regulatory
and statutory changes and funding options that are consistent with
the principles set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 871.7.

definition of universal service to reflect new technologies and
markets consistent with subdivision (c) of Section 871.7.

(8) To consider whether similar regulatory treatment for the
provision of similar services is appropriate and feasible.

(c) In conducting its investigation, the commission shall take
into account the role played by a number of diverse but convergent
industries and providers, even though many of these entities are
not subject to economic regulation by the commission or any other
government entity.

(d) The recommendations of the commission shall be consistent
with state policies for telecommunications as set forth in Section
709, and with all of the following principles:

(1) Universal service shall, to the extent feasible, be provided
at affordable prices regardless of linguistic, cultural, ethnic,
physical, financial, and geographic considerations.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction
specified in that paragraph for any county or city and county that
has been materially and substantially impacted as a result of a
federally declared disaster, as evidenced by at least 20 percent of
the cities, or cities and unincorporated areas of the county
representing 20 percent of the population within the county
suffering substantial damage, as certified by the Director of
Emergency Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the
effective date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of
five million dollars ($5,000,000) determined for that county or
city and county pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).

(3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall
do all of the following:

(A) Determine the population of each county and city and county
in which a federally declared disaster has occurred between October
1, 1989, and the effective date of this section.

(B) Determine for each county and city and county as described
in subparagraph (A) its share of five million dollars ($5,000,000)
on the basis of that county’s population relative to the total
population of all counties described in subparagraph (A).

(C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of
the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).

(b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the amount of
property tax revenue deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to
each city, except for a newly incorporated city that did not receive
property tax revenues in the 1991-92 fiscal year, shall be reduced
by 9 percent. In making the above computation with respect to
cities in Alameda County, the computation for a city described in
paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) of Section 100.7, as added by
Section 73.5 of Chapter 323 of the Statutes of 1983, shall be
adjusted so that the amount multiplied by 9 percent is reduced by
the amount determined for that city for “museums” pursuant to
paragraph (2) of subdivision (h) of Section 95.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), the amount of the reduction
determined pursuant to that paragraph for any city that has been
materially and substantially impacted as a result of a federally
declared disaster, as certified by the Director of Emergency
Services, occurring between October 1, 1989, and the effective
date of this section, shall be reduced by that portion of fifteen
million dollars ($15,000,000) determined for that city pursuant to
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3).

(3) On or before October 1, 1992, the Director of Finance shall
do all of the following:

(A) Determine the population of each city in which a federally
declared disaster has occurred between October 1, 1989, and the
effective date of this section.

(B) Determine for each city as described in subparagraph (A)
its share of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) on the basis of
that city’s population relative to the total population of all cities
described in subparagraph (A).

(C) Notify each auditor of each county and city and county of
the amounts determined pursuant to subparagraph (B).

(4) In the 1992-93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the auditor shall adjust the computations required pursuant to
Article 4 (commencing with Section 98) so that those computations
do not result in the restoration of any reduction required pursuant
to this section.

(c) (1) Subject to paragraph (2), the amount of property tax
revenue, other than those revenues that are pledged to debt service,
deemed allocated in the prior fiscal year to a special district, other
than a multicounty district, a local hospital district, or a district
governed by a city council or whose governing board has the same
membership as a city council, shall be reduced by 35 percent. For
purposes of this subdivision, “revenues that are pledged to debt
service” include only those amounts required to pay debt service
costs in the 1991-92 fiscal year on debt instruments issued by a
special district for the acquisition of capital assets.

(2) No reduction pursuant to paragraph (1) for any special
district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell
water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that
district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown
in the 1989-90 edition of the State Controller’s Report on Financial
Transactions Concerning Special Districts (not including any
annual revenues from fiscal years following the 1989-90 fiscal
year). With respect to any special district, as defined pursuant to
subdivision (m) of Section 95, that is allocated property tax revenue
pursuant to this chapter but does not appear in the State Controller’s
Report on Financial Transactions Concerning Special Districts,
the auditor shall determine the total annual revenues for that special
district from the information in the 1989-90 edition of the State
Controller’s Report on Financial Transactions Concerning
Counties. With respect to a special district that did not exist in the
1989-90 fiscal year, the auditor may use information from the first
full fiscal year, as appropriate, to determine the total annual
revenues for that special district. No reduction pursuant to
paragraph (1) for any countywide water agency that does not sell
water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that
portion of that agency’s general fund derived from property tax
revenues.

(3) The auditor in each county shall, on or before January 15,
1993, and on or before January 30 of each year thereafter, submit
information to the Controller concerning the amount of the property
tax revenue reduction to each special district within that county
as a result of paragraphs (1) and (2). The Controller shall certify
that the calculation of the property tax revenue reduction to each
special district within that county is accurate and correct, and
submit this information to the Director of Finance.

(A) The Director of Finance shall determine whether the total
of the amounts of the property tax revenue reductions to special
districts, as certified by the Controller, is equal to the amount that
would be required to be allocated to school districts and community
college districts as a result of a three hundred seventy-five million
dollar ($375,000,000) shift of property tax revenues from special
districts for the 1992-93 fiscal year. If, for any year, the total of
the amount of the property tax revenue reductions to special
districts is less than the amount as described in the preceding
sentence, the amount of property tax revenue, other than those
revenues that are pledged to debt service, deemed allocated in the
prior fiscal year to a special district, other than a multicounty
district, a local hospital district, or a district governed by a city
council or whose governing board has the same membership as a
city council, shall, subject to subparagraph (B), be reduced by an
amount up to 5 percent of the amount subject to reduction for that
district pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2).

(B) No reduction pursuant to subparagraph (A), in conjunction
with a reduction pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (2), for any special
district, other than a countywide water agency that does not sell
water at retail, shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent of that
district’s total annual revenues, from whatever source, as shown
in the most recent State Controller’s Report on Financial
Transactions Concerning Special Districts. No reduction pursuant
to subparagraph (A), in conjunction with a reduction pursuant to
paragraphs (1) and (2), for any countywide water agency that does
not sell water at retail shall exceed an amount equal to 10 percent

(C) In no event shall the amount of the property tax revenue
loss to a special district derived pursuant to subparagraphs (A) and

services, all of the following shall be excluded from the
determination of total annual revenues:

board of supervisors pursuant to Section 25642 of the Government
Code or Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 13890) of Part 2.7
of Division 12 of the Health and Safety Code for fire protection.

(A) Any revenues received by that district from the state for
financing the acquisition of land, or the construction or

an agreement entered into between that district and a state agency.

(B) Any amount received by that district as a private gift or

share.

(D) Any amount received by that district as a federal or state

of revenue in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund,
derived from whatever source, shall be allocated pursuant to
paragraphs (2) and (3) to school districts and county offices of
education, in total, and to community college districts, in total, in
the same proportion that property tax revenues were distributed

community college districts, in total, during the 1991-92 fiscal
year.

(2) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the
county superintendent of schools pursuant to this paragraph,
allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund to those school districts and county offices of education
within the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined
in subdivision (n) of Section 95. The county superintendent of
schools shall determine the amount to be allocated to each school
district and county office of education in inverse proportion to the
amounts of property tax revenue per average daily attendance in
each school district and county office of education. In no event
shall any additional money be allocated from the fund to a school
district or county office of education upon that school district or
county office of education becoming an excess tax school entity.

(3) The auditor shall, based on information provided by the
Chancellor of the California Community Colleges pursuant to this
paragraph, allocate the proportion of the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund to those community college districts within
the county that are not excess tax school entities, as defined in
subdivision (n) of Section 95. The chancellor shall determine the
amount to be allocated to each community college district in
inverse proportion to the amounts of property tax revenue per
funded full-time equivalent student in each community college
district. In no event shall any additional money be allocated from
the fund to a community college district upon that district becoming
an excess tax school entity.

(4) (A) If, after making the allocation required pursuant to
paragraph (2), the auditor determines that there are still additional
funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those excess funds
pursuant to paragraph (3). If, after making the allocation pursuant
to paragraph (3), the auditor determines that there are still
additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall allocate those
excess funds pursuant to paragraph (2).

(B) (i) (I) For the 1995-96 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, if, after making the allocations pursuant to paragraphs
(2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the auditor determines that there
are still additional funds to be allocated, the auditor shall, subject
to clauses (ii) and (iii), allocate those excess funds to the county
superintendent of schools. Funds allocated pursuant to this
subclause shall be counted as property tax revenues for special
education programs in augmentation of the amount calculated
pursuant to Section 2572 of the Education Code, to the extent that
those property tax revenues offset state aid for county offices of
education and school districts within the county pursuant to
subdivision (c) of Section 56836.08 of the Education Code.

(II) For the 2007-08 fiscal year and for each fiscal year
thereafter, both of the following apply:

(ia) In allocating the revenues described in subclause (I), the
auditor shall apportion funds to the appropriate special education
local plan area to cover the amount determined in Section
56836.173 of the Education Code.

(ib) Except as otherwise provided by sub-subclause (ia), property
tax revenues described in subclause (I) shall not be apportioned
to special education programs funded pursuant to Section
56836.173 of the Education Code.

(III) If, for the 2000-01 fiscal year or any fiscal year thereafter,
any additional revenues remain after the implementation of
subclauses (I) and (II), the auditor shall allocate those remaining
revenues among the county, cities, and special districts in
proportion to the amounts of ad valorem property tax revenue
otherwise required to be shifted from those local agencies to the
county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund for the relevant
fiscal year.

(IV) A county Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund shall
not be required to provide funding for special education programs
funded pursuant to Section 56836.173 of the Education Code or
any predecessor to that section for a fiscal year prior to the 2007-08
fiscal year that it has not already provided for these programs prior
to the beginning of the 2007-08 fiscal year.

(ii) For the 1995-96 fiscal year only, clause (i) shall have no
application to the County of Mono and the amount allocated
pursuant to clause (i) in the County of Marin shall not exceed five
million dollars ($5,000,000).

(iii) For the 1996-97 fiscal year only, the total amount of funds
allocated by the auditor pursuant to clause (i) and clause (i) of
subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section
97.3 shall not exceed that portion of two million five hundred
thousand dollars ($2,500,000) that corresponds to the county’s
proportionate share of all moneys allocated pursuant to clause (i)
and clause (i) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision
(d) of Section 97.3 for the 1995-96 fiscal year. Upon the request
of the auditor, the Department of Finance shall provide to the
auditor all information in the department’s possession that is
necessary for the auditor to comply with this clause.

(iv) Notwithstanding clause (i) of this subparagraph, for the
1999-2000 fiscal year only, if, after making the allocations
pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (3) and subparagraph (A), the
auditor determines that there are still additional funds to be
allocated, the auditor shall allocate the funds to the county, cities,
and special districts in proportion to the amounts of ad valorem
property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted from those
local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund for the relevant fiscal year. The amount allocated pursuant
to this clause shall not exceed eight million two hundred thirty-nine
thousand dollars ($8,239,000), as appropriated in Item
6110-250-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1999 (Chapter
50, Statutes of 1999). This clause shall be operative for the
1999-2000 fiscal year only to the extent that moneys are
appropriated for purposes of this clause in the Budget Act of 1999
by an appropriation that specifically references this clause.

(C) For purposes of allocating the Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the 1996-97 fiscal year, the auditor shall,
after making the allocations for special education programs, if any,
required by subparagraph (B), allocate all remaining funds among
the county, cities, and special districts in proportion to the amounts
of ad valorem property tax revenue otherwise required to be shifted
from those local agencies to the county’s Educational Revenue
Augmentation Fund for the relevant fiscal year. For purposes of
ad valorem property tax revenue allocations for the 1997-98 fiscal
year and each fiscal year thereafter, no amount of ad valorem
property tax revenue allocated to the county, a city, or a special
district pursuant to this subparagraph shall be deemed to be an
amount of ad valorem property tax revenue allocated to that local
agency in the prior fiscal year.

(5) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1
or its predecessor section for the 1993-94 fiscal year, the amounts
allocated from the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund
pursuant to this subdivision, other than amounts deposited in the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to Section
33681 of the Health and Safety Code, shall be deemed property
tax revenue allocated to the Educational Revenue Augmentation
Fund in the prior fiscal year.

(e) (1) For the 1997-98 fiscal year:

(A) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in
the prior fiscal year to any city subject to the reduction specified
in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall be reduced by an amount
that is equal to the difference between the amount determined for
the city pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and the amount
of the reduction determined for the city pursuant to paragraph (2)
of subdivision (b).

(B) The amount of property tax revenue deemed allocated in
the prior fiscal year to any county or city and county subject to the
reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) shall be
reduced by an amount that is equal to the difference between the
amount specified for the county or city and county pursuant to
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) and the amount of the reduction
determined for the county or city and county pursuant to paragraph
(2) of subdivision (a).

(2) The amount of property tax revenues not allocated to a city
or city and county as a result of this subdivision shall be deposited
in the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund described in
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d).

(3) For purposes of allocations made pursuant to Section 96.1
for the 1998-99 fiscal year, the amounts allocated from the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund pursuant to this
subdivision shall be deemed property tax revenues allocated to the
Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund in the prior fiscal year.

(f) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section that
this section supersede and be operative in place of Section 97.03
of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as added by Senate Bill 617
of the 1991-92 Regular Session.

Section 12994 of the Water Code is amended to

12994.  

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the
following:

(1) The CALFED Bay-Delta Program has identified as a core
action the need for emergency levee management planning for
delta levees to improve system reliability.

(2) Even with active levee maintenance, the threat of delta levee
failures from earthquake, flood, or poor levee foundation, will
continue to exist.

(3) Because of this threat of failure, and the potential need to
mobilize people and equipment in an emergency to protect delta
levees and public benefits, the department needs authority that will
enable it to act quickly.

(b) The department may do all of the following:

(1) In an emergency, as defined by Section 21060.3 of the Public
Resources Code, that requires immediate levee work to protect
public benefits in the delta, the department may use funds pursuant
to this part without prior approval of a plan by the board or the
Department of Fish and Wildlife, in which case the requirements
of Sections 12314 and 12987, and the memorandum of
understanding pursuant to Section 12307, shall be carried out as
soon as possible.

(A) The amount of funds that may be expended each year on
emergency levee work under this section shall not be greater than
two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) and the amount that may
be expended per emergency levee site shall not be greater than
fifty thousand dollars ($50,000). The local agency shall fund 25
percent of the total costs of the emergency repair at a site or shall
fund an appropriate share of the costs as approved by the board
and based upon information of the local agency’s ability to pay
for the repairs.

(B) Department contracts executed for emergency levee work
under this section shall be exempted from Department of General
Services approval required under the Public Contract Code.

(C) As soon as feasible after the emergency repair, the
department shall submit a report to the board describing the levee

13271.  

(a) (1) Except as provided by subdivision (b), any
person who, without regard to intent or negligence, causes or
permits any hazardous substance or sewage to be discharged in or
on any waters of the state, or discharged or deposited where it is,
or probably will be, discharged in or on any waters of the state,
shall, as soon as (A) that person has knowledge of the discharge,
(B) notification is possible, and (C) notification can be provided
without substantially impeding cleanup or other emergency
measures, immediately notify the Office of Emergency Services
of the discharge in accordance with the spill reporting provision

board shall notify the state board as appropriate.

(3) Upon receiving notification of a discharge pursuant to this
section, the local health officer and the director of environmental
health shall immediately determine whether notification of the
public is required to safeguard public health and safety. If so, the
local health officer and the director of environmental health shall
immediately notify the public of the discharge by posting notices
or other appropriate means. The notification shall describe
measures to be taken by the public to protect the public health.

(b) The notification required by this section shall not apply to
a discharge in compliance with waste discharge requirements or
other provisions of this division.

(c) Any person who fails to provide the notice required by this
section is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine
of not more than twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) or
imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or both.
Except where a discharge to the waters of this state would have
occurred but for cleanup or emergency response by a public agency,
this subdivision shall not apply to any discharge to land which
does not result in a discharge to the waters of this state.

(d) Notification received pursuant to this section or information
obtained by use of that notification shall not be used against any
person providing the notification in any criminal case, except in
a prosecution for perjury or giving a false statement.

(e) For substances listed as hazardous wastes or hazardous
material pursuant to Section 25140 of the Health and Safety Code,
the state board, in consultation with the Department of Toxic
Substances Control, shall by regulation establish reportable
quantities for purposes of this section. The regulations shall be
based on what quantities should be reported because they may
pose a risk to public health or the environment if discharged to
groundwater or surface water. Regulations need not set reportable
quantities on all listed substances at the same time. Regulations
establishing reportable quantities shall not supersede waste
discharge requirements or water quality objectives adopted
pursuant to this division, and shall not supersede or affect in any
way the list, criteria, and guidelines for the identification of
hazardous wastes and extremely hazardous wastes adopted by the
Department of Toxic Substances Control pursuant to Chapter 6.5
(commencing with Section 25100) of Division 20 of the Health

establishing reportable quantities shall not supersede waste
discharge requirements or water quality objectives adopted
pursuant to this division. For purposes of this section, “sewage”
means the effluent of a municipal wastewater treatment plant or a
private utility wastewater treatment plant, as those terms are
defined in Section 13625, except that sewage does not include
recycled water, as defined in subdivisions (c) and (d) of Section
13529.2.

(2) A collection system owner or operator, as defined in
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 13193, in addition to
the reporting requirements set forth in this section, shall submit a

contained in any permit issued by a permitting agency. When
notifying the Office of Emergency Services, the person shall
include all of the notification information required in the permit.

(h) For the purposes of this section, the reportable quantity for
perchlorate shall be 10 pounds or more by discharge to the
receiving waters, unless a more restrictive reporting standard for
a particular body of water is adopted pursuant to subdivision (e).

(i) Notification under this section does not nullify a person’s
responsibility to notify the local health officer or the director of
environmental health pursuant to Section 5411.5 of the Health and
Safety Code.

possible, and (3) notification can be provided without substantially
impeding cleanup or other emergency measures, immediately
notify the Office of Emergency Services of the discharge in
accordance with the spill reporting provision of the California oil
spill contingency plan adopted pursuant to Article 3.5 (commencing
with Section 8574.1) of Chapter 7 of Division 1 of Title 2 of the
Government Code. This section shall not apply to spills of oil into
marine waters as defined in subdivision (f) of Section 8670.3 of
the Government Code.

years, successfully operating a youth shelter for runaway and
homeless youth, or successfully operating a transitional living
facility for runaway and homeless youth who do not receive
transitional living services through the juvenile justice system.

demonstrate a history of collaborating with other agencies and
individuals in providing such services. Priority shall be given to

Section 14085.54 of the Welfare and Institutions
Code is amended to read:

14085.54.  

(a) The Los Angeles County University of Southern
California (LAC-USC) Medical Center may submit revised final
plans to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development
to replace the original capital expenditure project plans that met
the initial eligibility requirements provided for under Section
14085.5 if all of the following conditions are met:

(1) The revised capital expenditure project meets all other
requirements for eligibility as specified in Section 14085.5.

(2) The revised plans are submitted to the Office of Statewide
Health Planning and Development on or before December 31,
2002, except that, with respect to a facility in the San Gabriel
Valley of not less than 80 beds, the revised plans may be submitted
not later than December 31, 2003.

(3) The scope of the capital project shall consist of two facilities
with not less than a total of 680 beds.

(b) Funding under Section 14085.5 shall not be provided unless
all of the conditions specified in subdivision (a) are met.

(c) The revised plans for the LAC-USC Medical Center capital
expenditure project may provide for one or more of the following
variations from the original capital expenditure project plan
submission:

(1) Total revisions or reconfigurations, or reductions in size and
scope.

(2) Reduction in, or modification of, some or all inpatient project
components.

additional inpatient service site to the current LAC-USC Medical
Center only if the additional inpatient service site meets both of
the following criteria:

(1) The San Gabriel Valley site is owned and operated by the
County of Los Angeles.

(2) The San Gabriel Valley site is consolidated under the
LAC-USC Medical Center license.

(e) (1) Supplemental reimbursement for the revised capital

revised capital expenditure project costs, including project costs
related to the additional inpatient service site, eligible for
supplemental reimbursement under this section shall not exceed
85 percent of the project costs, including all eligible construction,
architectural and engineering, design, management and consultant

supplemental reimbursement under Section 14085.5.

(3) The department shall seek a Medicaid state plan amendment
in order to maximize federal financial participation. However, if
the department is unable to obtain federal financial participation
at the Medi-Cal inpatient adjustment rate as described in paragraph

funded under this section, but for which federal financial
participation cannot be obtained.

(f) The LAC-USC Medical Center shall provide written
notification to the department of the status of the project on or
before January 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 2002. This
notification shall, at a minimum, include a narrative description
of the project, identification of services to be provided,
documentation substantiating service needs, projected construction
timeframes, and total estimated revised capital project costs.

(g) The project, if eligible under the criteria set forth in this
section and Section 14085.5, shall commence construction at both
facilities referred to in subdivision (a) on or before January 1,
2004.

(h) In addition to the requirements of subdivision (f), the project
shall be licensed for operation and available for occupancy on or
before January 1, 2009.
