(1) Existing law authorizes the establishment of the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds EE and PV Synergy Demonstration Project, a project that would include the installation of cost-effective energy-efficient equipment and fixtures, and a photovoltaic solar energy system of up to 630 kilowatts. Existing law requires an electrical corporation providing electrical service to the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds to file a tariff with the Public Utilities Commission meeting certain criteria. A violation of these provisions is a crime. These provisions will be repealed on January 1, 2017. This bill would extend these provisions relating to the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds EE and PV Synergy Demonstration Project until January 1, 2018. Because the bill would extend the operation of provisions, a violation of which would be a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law prohibits specified holders of alcoholic beverage licenses from having specified relationships with an on-sale alcoholic beverage licensee, with limited exceptions. Existing law permits a manufacturer, winegrower, rectifier, distiller, distilled spirits wholesaler, or any agent of those licenses, to conduct market research and, in connection with that research, to purchase from licensed off-sale retailers data, regarding purchases and sales of alcoholic beverage products, at the customary rates that those retailers sell similar data for nonalcoholic beverage products, provided that no licensed retailer shall be obligated to purchase or sell the alcoholic beverages of the manufacturer, winegrower, rectifier, or distiller. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides that a violation of its provisions is a misdemeanor, unless otherwise specified. This bill would additionally include a distilled spirits wholesaler in the provision prohibiting a licensed retailer from being obligated to purchase or sell the alcoholic beverages of the licensee conducting the market research. Because the violation of a specified provision of this provision is punishable as a misdemeanor, the bill both creates a new crime and expands the definition of an existing crime, thereby creating a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

This measure would acknowledge the 50th anniversary of service by African American justices in the California courts, and would encourage all Californians to share in statewide and local celebrations throughout the year to recognize the contributions and diversity of these and other judicial trailblazers. The bill would also call upon the leadership of the judicial, legislative, and executive branches of government, and the greater legal, educational, and justice communities, to sponsor and participate in educational and outreach activities that highlight the work of the justices of the California Courts of Appeal and the California Supreme Court.

This measure would designate Monday, May 2, 2011, as California Peace Officers' Memorial Day and would urge all Californians to use that day to honor California peace officers.
This measure would recognize April 28, 2011, as Workers Memorial Day.
