LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2638, as amended, Gatto. Public health: vaccinations.
Local Investment Advisory Board: members.
Existing law creates the Local Agency Investment Fund, a trust
fund in the custody of the Treasurer, in which local governments and
other specified governmental entities may deposit, for investment,
moneys that are not required for immediate needs. Existing law
authorizes the Treasurer, with the advice of the Local Investment
Advisory Board, to invest the moneys in the fund. Existing law
requires the board to be made up of 5 members, including the
Treasurer or his or her representative, 2 members appointed by the
Treasurer who are experienced in the field of investment, and 2
members appointed by the Treasurer who are treasurers, finance or
fiscal officers, or business managers employed by a county, city or
local district, or municipal corporation of this state. Existing law
establishes that the term of office of each appointed member of the
board is 2 years.
This bill would extend the term of each of the appointed members
of the board to 3 years. The bill would also make several
nonsubstantive changes.
Existing law authorizes a parent or guardian to file with the
governing authority of a school district or school a written
statement by a licensed physician to the effect that immunization is
not considered safe for a particular child, in which case that child
shall be exempt from specified immunization requirements, to the
extent indicated by the physician's statement, as specified.
This bill would specify that a licensed physician is not subject
to discipline or liability for writing the statement described above.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no
