1916.12.

volatile as a result of regulatory revisions enacted by the United
States Congress and federal agencies including, but not necessarily
limited to, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board, Federal Reserve Board, and the Depository
Institutions Deregulation Committee. The Legislature further finds
that deposit rate ceilings are being phased out while the cost of
and competition for funds have escalated. It is the purpose of this
section to maintain the quality of competition between
state-licensed and federally regulated financial institutions in the
field of mortgage lending, as well as promote the convenience,
advantage and best interests of California residents in their pursuit
of adequate and available housing. In order to remain competitive
and provide the optimum housing environment for the citizens of
California, state institutions require the ability to respond in a
timely manner to changes in mortgage lending parameters initiated
at the federal level. Local regulatory guidelines must promote
continued parity between the state and federal levels in order to
avoid creation of discriminatory burdens upon state institutions
and to protect interests held by California citizens. It is the intent
of the Legislature to eliminate past and prevent future inequities
between state and federal financial institutions doing business in
the State of California by creating a sensitive and responsive
mortgage parity procedure.

Housing Agency, or the secretary’s designee as defined by

authority to prescribe rules and regulations extending to lenders
who make loans upon the security of residential real property any
right, power, privilege or duty relating to mortgage instruments
that is equivalent to authority extended to federally regulated
financial institutions by federal statute or regulation.

(c) In order to grant equivalent mortgage lending authority to
state financial institutions to that which has been extended to
federal financial institutions, the secretary or the secretary’s
designee shall adopt such regulations within 60 days of the
effective date of the statute or regulation extending the comparable
right, power, begin delete privilege end delete begin insert privilege, end insert or duty to federally regulated
financial institutions.

(d) The provisions of Sections 1916.5, 1916.6, 1916.7, 1916.8,
and 1916.9, and any other provisions of law relating to the
requirements for changes in the rate of interest on loans, shall not
be applicable to loans made pursuant to the provisions of this
section and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e) Any regulations adopted pursuant to this section shall expire
on January 1 of the second succeeding year following the end of
the calendar year in which the regulation was promulgated.
Subsequent amendments to these regulations cannot extend this
expiration date.

(f) This section shall become operative on December 31, 1983.

to another fund in state government as directed by the Department
of Finance pursuant to a statute enacted by the Legislature.

(b) Loan guarantees shall be secured by a reserve of at least 20
percent to be determined by the manager.

percent of the corporate fund farm loans, calculated by dollar

United States Department of Agriculture. The amount of funds
available for direct farm lending shall be determined by the
manager. In its capacity as a direct lender, the corporation may

(d) In furtherance of the purposes of this part, up to one-half of
the trust funds may be used to guarantee loans utilized to establish

but actual disbursements pursuant to the office loan agreement
shall be required to be supported by a loan agreement between the
farm borrower and the corporation in an amount at least equal to
the requested disbursement. The loan between the office and the
corporation shall be evidenced by a credit agreement. In the event
that any loan between the corporation and borrower is not
guaranteed by a governmental agency, the portion of the credit
agreement attributable to that loan shall be secured by assignment
of any note, executed in favor of the corporation by the borrower
to the office. The terms and conditions of the credit agreement
shall be similar to the loan agreement between the corporation and
the borrower, which shall be collateralized by the note between
the corporation and the borrower. In the absence of fraud on the
part of the corporation, the liability of the corporation to repay the
loan to the office is limited to the repayment received by the
corporation from the borrower except in a case where the United
States Department of Agriculture requires exposure by the
corporation in rule or regulation. The corporation may use trust

(f) Upon the approval of the manager, a corporation shall be
authorized to borrow trust funds from the office for the purpose
of relending those funds to small businesses. A corporation shall
demonstrate to the manager that it has the capacity to administer
a direct loan program, and has procedures in place to limit the
default rate for loans to startup businesses. Not more than 25
percent of any trust fund account shall be used for the direct lending
established pursuant to this subdivision. A loan to a corporation
shall not exceed the amount of funds likely to be lent to small
businesses within three months following the loan to the
corporation. The maximum loan amount to a small business is fifty
thousand dollars ($50,000). In the absence of fraud on the part of
the corporation, the repayment obligation pursuant to the loan to
the corporation shall be limited to the amount of funds received
by the corporation for the loan to the small business and any other
funds received from the office that are not disbursed. The
corporation shall be authorized to charge a fee to the small business
borrower, in an amount determined by the manager pursuant to
regulation. The program provided for in this subdivision shall be
available in all geographic areas of the state.

institutions, in connection with relief provided for those persons
affected by disasters or a state of emergency in affected areas
during periods of disaster relief assistance, for the purpose of
supplying interim financing to enable small businesses to continue
operations pending receipt of federal disaster assistance.

(2) That the Governor should utilize this authority to prevent
business insolvencies and loss of employment in areas affected by
these disasters.

(b) In addition to the allocations authorized by Section 8683
and the loan guarantee provisions of Section 14030.1 of the
Corporations Code, the Governor may allocate funds made

provided, in affected areas during the period of federal disaster
relief, to the Small Business Expansion Fund for use by the

pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 14000) of Part
5 of Division 3 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code, to provide
guarantees for low-interest interim loans to be made by lending

small businesses that have suffered actual physical damage or
significant economic losses, as a result of the disaster or state of
emergency for which funding under this section is made available,
to continue or resume operations pending receipt of loans made
or guaranteed by the federal Small Business Administration. The
maximum amount of any loan guarantee funded under this
paragraph shall not exceed two hundred thousand dollars
($200,000). Each loan guarantee shall not exceed 95 percent of

percent of the loan amount if the applicant can demonstrate that
access to business records pertinent to the loan application has
been precluded by official action prohibiting necessary reentry

available to the borrower, whichever event first occurs.

(c) Loan guarantees for which the initial 12-month term has
expired and for which an application for disaster assistance funding

may be extended until the Small Business Administration has
reached a final decision on the application. Applications for interim
loans shall be processed in an expeditious manner. Wherever
possible, lending institutions shall fund nonconstruction loans
within 60 calendar days of application. Loan guarantees for loans
that have been denied funding by the federal Small Business
Administration, may be extended by the financial institution
provided that the loan is for no longer than a maximum of seven
years, if the business demonstrates the ability to repay the loan
with an extended loan term, and a new credit analysis is provided.
All loans extended under this provision shall be repaid in
installments of principal and interest, and be fully amortized over
the term of the loan. This section shall not preclude the lender from
charging reasonable administrative fees in connection with the
loan.

all provisions of law, be deemed to be for extraordinary emergency
or disaster response operation costs, as provided in Section 8690.6,
incurred by state employees assigned to work on the financial
development corporation program.

Development may adopt regulations to implement the loan
guarantee program authorized by this section. The Governor’s

regulations as emergency regulations in accordance with Chapter
3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3, and

adoption of the regulations shall be considered by the Office of
Administrative Law to be necessary for the immediate preservation
of the public peace, health and safety, and general welfare.
Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of Section 11346.1, the regulations
shall be repealed within 180 days after their effective date unless
the agency complies with Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section
11340) of Part 1 of Division 3, as provided in subdivision (e) of
Section 11346.1.

article. The regulations may include regulations prescribing
standards for the valuation, marketability, and liquidity of the
eligible securities of the class described in subdivision (m) of
Section 53651, regulations prescribing procedures and
documentation for adding, withdrawing, substituting, and holding
pooled securities, and regulations prescribing the form, content,
and execution of any application, report, or other document called
for in any of the sections specified in subdivision (a) or in any
regulation or order issued under any of those sections.

(2) The administrator, for good cause, may waive any provision
of any regulation adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) or any order
issued under this article, where the provision is not necessary in
the public interest.

(d) The administrator may enter into any contracts or agreements
as may be necessary, including joint underwriting agreements, to
sell or liquidate eligible securities securing local agency deposits
in the event of the failure of the depository or if the depository
fails to pay all or part of the deposits of a local agency.

(e) The administrator shall require from every depository a
report certified by the agent of depository listing all securities, and
the market value thereof, which are securing local agency deposits
together with the total deposits then secured by the pool, to
determine whether there is compliance with Section 53652. These
reports may be required whenever deemed necessary by the
administrator, but shall be required at least four times each year
at the times designated by the Comptroller of the Currency for
reports from national banking associations. These reports shall be
filed in the office of the administrator by the depository within 20
business days of the date the administrator calls for the report.

(f) The administrator may have access to reports of examination
made by the Comptroller of the Currency insofar as the reports
relate to national banking association trust department activities
which are subject to this article.

(g) (1) The administrator shall require the immediate
substitution of an eligible security, where the substitution is
necessary for compliance with Section 53652, if (i) the

deposits secured by the securities pool, provides written notice to
the administrator and the administrator confirms that a security in
the pool is not qualified to secure public deposits.

(2) The failure of a depository to substitute securities, where
the administrator has required the substitution, shall be reported
by the administrator promptly to those treasurers having money
on deposit in that depository and, in addition, shall be reported as
follows:

insured industrial loan company, to the Commissioner of Business
Oversight.

registration report and at appropriate times a report stating the
amount and location of each deposit together with other
information deemed necessary by the administrator for effective
operation of this article. The facts recited in any report from a
treasurer to the administrator are conclusively presumed to be true
for the single purpose of the administrator fulfilling responsibilities
assigned to him or her by this article and for no other purpose.

(i) (1) If, after notice and opportunity for hearing, the
administrator finds that any depository or agent of depository has
violated or is violating, or that there is reasonable cause to believe
that any depository or agent of depository is about to violate, any
of the sections specified in subdivision (a) or any regulation or
order issued under any of those sections, the administrator may
order the depository or agent of depository to cease and desist from
the violation or may by order suspend or revoke the authorization
of the agent of depository. The order may require the depository
or agent of depository to take affirmative action to correct any
condition resulting from the violation.

(2) (A) If the administrator makes any of the findings set forth
in paragraph (1) with respect to any depository or agent of
depository and, in addition, finds that the violation or the
continuation of the violation is likely to seriously prejudice the
interests of treasurers, the administrator may order the depository
or agent of depository to cease and desist from the violation or
may suspend or revoke the authorization of the agent of depository.
The order may require the depository or agent of depository to
take affirmative action to correct any condition resulting from the
violation.

(B) Within five business days after an order is issued under
subparagraph (A), the depository or agent of depository may file
with the administrator an application for a hearing on the order.
The administrator shall schedule a hearing at least 30 days, but
not more than 40 days, after receipt of an application for a hearing
or within a shorter or longer period of time agreed to by a
depository or an agent of depository. If the administrator fails to
schedule the hearing within the specified or agreed to time period,
the order shall be deemed rescinded. Within 30 days after the
hearing, the administrator shall affirm, modify, or rescind the order;
otherwise, the order shall be deemed rescinded. The right of a
depository or agent of depository to which an order is issued under
subparagraph (A) to petition for judicial review of the order shall
not be affected by the failure of the depository or agent of
depository to apply to the administrator for a hearing on the order
pursuant to this subparagraph.

(3) Whenever the administrator issues a cease and desist order
under paragraph (1) or (2), the administrator may in the order
restrict the right of the depository to withdraw securities from a
security pool; and, in that event, both the depository to which the
order is directed and the agent of depository which holds the
security pool shall comply with the restriction.

(4) In case the administrator issues an order under paragraph
(1) or (2) suspending or revoking the authorization of an agent of
depository, the administrator may order the agent of depository at
its own expense to transfer all pooled securities held by it to such
agent of depository as the administrator may designate in the order.
The agent of depository designated in the order shall accept and
hold the pooled securities in accordance with this article and
regulations and orders issued under this article.

to the administrator that any person has violated or is violating, or
that there is reasonable cause to believe that any person is about
to violate, any of the sections specified in subdivision (a) or any
regulation or order issued thereunder, the administrator may bring
an action in the name of the people of the State of California in
the superior court to enjoin the violation or to enforce compliance
with those sections or any regulation or order issued thereunder.
Upon a proper showing a permanent or preliminary injunction,
restraining order, or writ of mandate shall be granted, and the court
may not require the administrator to post a bond.

(k) In addition to other remedies, the administrator shall have
the power and authority to impose the following sanctions for
noncompliance with the sections specified in subdivision (a) after
a hearing if requested by the party deemed in noncompliance. Any
fine assessed pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid within 30
days after receipt of the assessment.

exceed one hundred dollars ($100) for each day the agent of

may assess and collect an additional penalty of 5 percent of the
fine for each month or part thereof that the payment is delinquent.

(2) If a depository fails to pay the fines or penalties assessed by
the administrator, the administrator may notify local agency
treasurers with deposits in the depository.

(3) If an agent of depository fails to pay the fines or penalties
assessed by the administrator, the administrator may notify local
agency treasurers who have authorized the agent of depository as
provided in Sections 53649 and 53656, and may by order revoke
the authorization of the agent of depository as provided in
subdivision (i).

(m) The amendments to this section enacted by the Legislature
during the 1999-2000 Regular Session shall become operative on

commission pursuant to Section 19841 of the Business and
Professions Code, including, but not limited to, a location at which
unlawful electronic devices are used.

(v) (1) The vendor of the equipment used in a remote caller
bingo game shall have its books and records audited at least
annually by an independent California certified public accountant
and shall submit the results of that audit to the department within
120 days after the close of the vendor’s fiscal year. In addition,

subdivision (u), or the application of either of those provisions, is
held invalid, this entire section shall be invalid.

shall be reduced in proportion to each requesting organization’s
reported or audited net revenues from the operation of electronic
devices.

Section 10200 of the Unemployment Insurance Code
is amended to read:

10200.  

The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(a) California’s economy is being challenged by competition
from other states and overseas. In order to meet this challenge,
California’s employers, workers, labor organizations, and
government need to invest in a skilled and productive workforce,
and in developing the skills of frontline workers. For purposes of
this section, “frontline worker” means a worker who directly
produces or delivers goods or services.

The purpose of this chapter is to establish a strategically designed
employment training program to promote a healthy labor market
in a growing, competitive economy that shall fund only projects
that meet the following criteria:

(1) Foster creation of high-wage, high-skilled jobs, or foster
retention of high-wage, high-skilled jobs in manufacturing and
other industries that are threatened by out-of-state and global
competition, including, but not limited to, those industries in which
targeted training resources for California’s small and medium-sized
business suppliers will increase the state’s competitiveness to
secure federal, private sector, and other nonstate funds. In addition,
provide for retraining contracts in companies that make a monetary
or in-kind contribution to the funded training enhancements.

(2) Encourage industry-based investment in human resources
development that promotes the competitiveness of California
industry through productivity and product quality enhancements.

(3) Result in secure jobs for those who successfully complete
training. All training shall be customized to the specific
requirements of one or more employers or a discrete industry and
shall include general skills that trainees can use in the future.

(4) Supplement, rather than displace, funds available through
existing programs conducted by employers and government-funded
training programs, such as the Workforce Investment Act of 1998
(29 U.S.C. Sec. 2801 et seq.), the Carl D. Perkins Vocational
Education Act (Public Law 98-524), CalWORKs (Chapter 2
(commencing with Section 11200) of Part 3 of Division 9 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code), the Enterprise Zone Act (Chapter
12.8 (commencing with Section 7070) of Division 7 of Title 1 of
the Government Code), and the McKinney-Vento Homeless
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 11301 et seq.), the California
Community Colleges Economic Development Program, or
apportionment funds allocated to the community colleges, regional
occupational centers and programs, or other local educational
agencies. In addition, it is further the intention of the Legislature
that programs developed pursuant to this chapter shall not replace,
parallel, supplant, compete with, or duplicate in any way already
existing approved apprenticeship programs.

(b) The Employment Training Panel, in funding projects that
meet the requirements of subdivision (a), shall give funding priority
to those projects that best meet the following goals:

(1) Result in the growth of the California economy by
stimulating exports from the state and the production of goods and
services that would otherwise be imported from outside the state.

(2) Train new employees of firms locating or expanding in the
state that provide high-skilled, high-wage jobs and are committed
to an ongoing investment in the training of frontline workers.

(3) Develop workers with skills that prepare them for the
challenges of a high performance workplace of the future.

(4) Train workers who have been displaced, have received
notification of impending layoff, or are subject to displacement,
because of a plant closure, workforce reduction, changes in
technology, or significantly increasing levels of international and
out-of-state competition.

(5) Are jointly developed by business management and worker
representatives.

(6) Develop career ladders for workers.

(7) Promote the retention and expansion of the state’s
manufacturing workforce.

(c) The program established through this chapter is to be
coordinated with all existing employment training programs and
economic development programs, including, but not limited to,
programs such as the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C.
Sec. 2801 et seq.), the California Community Colleges, the regional
occupational programs, vocational education programs, joint
labor-management training programs, and related programs under
the Employment Development Department and the Governor’s
Office of Business and Economic Development, and the Business,
Consumer Services, and Housing Agency.
