Existing law, the California Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (CCPA) grants a consumer various rights with regard to personal information relating to that consumer collected by a business, including the right to know the categories and the specific pieces of personal information that a business collects and to opt out of the sale of personal information. With regard to information sold to a third party about a consumer by a business, the CCPA prohibits the third party from selling that information unless the consumer has received notice, as specified, and an opportunity to exercise the right to opt out of the sale. Existing law commits the regulatory authority for these provisions with the Attorney General. This bill would require that a consumer's election to opt out of the sale of personal information, as described above, remain effective after the company that holds the information, or the information itself, is sold.

Existing law defines the crime of burglary to include entering a vehicle when the doors are locked with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny or a felony. Existing law makes the burglary of a vehicle punishable as a misdemeanor or a felony. This bill would make forcibly entering a vehicle, as defined, with the intent to commit a theft therein a crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a period not to exceed one year or imprisonment in a county jail for 16 months, or 2 or 3 years. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose 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.
Existing law authorizes a person to disclose on the affidavit of voter registration the name of the political party at the time of registering to vote or transferring a registration to vote. Existing law also authorizes the person to decline to disclose a political party preference, and requires the voter registration card to include an option allowing the person to do so. This bill would require the word "Independent" to be included with "No Party," "None," or similar wording as part of the option that permits the person to decline to disclose a party preference.
Existing law requires the governing board of any school district to give diligent care to the health and physical development of pupils and authorizes the governing board of a school district to employ properly certified persons for the work. This bill would, commencing January 1, 2022, require the governing board or governing body of a local educational agency, as defined, to have at each school under its jurisdiction at least one school employee who has received specified training relating to seizure recognition, treatment, and response. The bill would require a school, as defined, to provide training to school personnel with direct contact and supervision of pupils on recognizing the signs and symptoms of seizures and the appropriate steps for seizure first aid. The bill would authorize a school nurse or other designated school personnel who has received the training described above to administer, or a pupil to self-administer, seizure rescue medication or medication prescribed to treat seizure disorder symptoms, if certain conditions and requirements are met. The bill would require a school to collaborate with the parent or guardian of each pupil diagnosed with a seizure disorder to create a seizure action plan. The bill would require a school to provide to all pupils an age-appropriate seizure education program on seizures and seizure disorders. By imposing new duties on school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the State Board of Education to adopt regulations to implement these provisions. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city to control, dispose of, and convey property for the benefit of the city. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to subsequently enact legislation that would require a public bid on any city-owned property valued at $100,000,000 or more.
Existing law establishes in state government the Transportation Agency, which includes various departments and state entities, including the California Transportation Commission. The Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 establishes a comprehensive transportation funding program by increasing fuel taxes and imposing certain vehicle fees. The act allocates revenues from those sources to various transportation programs, including, among others, to the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program, which the act created to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road system. This bill would require the Transportation Agency to oversee the development and implementation of a comprehensive one-stop reporting interface available to the public through an internet website maintained by the agency. The bill would require the interface to provide timely fiscal information regarding the development and implementation status of each transportation program or project funded, at least in part, by revenues from the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.
This measure would proclaim January 13, 2020, as Korean American Day.
Existing law establishes a specialized license plate program and requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to issue specialized license plates on behalf of a sponsoring state agency if the agency receives 7,500 applications within a 12-month period, among other requirements. Existing law requires the DMV to charge specified additional fees for the issuance, renewal, or transfer of specialized license plates, and requires the DMV to deposit the fees, less the DMV's costs, into the Specialized License Plate Fund. Existing law requires that moneys in the fund be allocated, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to each sponsoring agency in proportion to the amount that is attributable to the agency's specialized license plate program. Existing law authorizes the sponsoring state agency to use these moneys to fund projects and programs that promote the state agency's official policy, mission, or work. This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to apply to the DMV to sponsor a license plate program for the issuance of license plates bearing the officially licensed logo, emblem, or trademark provided by a participating California professional sports franchise, and would require the DMV to issue specialized license plates in different designs that bear the logo, emblem, or trademark of an individual California professional sports franchise under that program if the Department of Veterans Affairs complies with the 7,500 application requirement for an individual design. The bill would impose specified fees for the issuance, renewal, or transfer of those license plates, and would require the funds to be deposited into the California State Parks Account created by the bill, after DMV administrative costs are deducted, to be allocated to the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Challenged Athletes Foundation, as specified. The bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to develop monitoring and reporting guidelines to ensure that the funds allocated to the Challenged Athletes Foundation are being used for the purposes specified in the bill. Existing law, with certain exceptions, imposes certain design criteria for specialized license plates, including, among other things, that the license plate provide a space not larger than 2 inches by 3 inches to the left of the numerical series and a space not larger than 58 of an inch in height below the numerical series for a distinctive design, decal, or descriptive message. This bill would, notwithstanding those provisions, authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to accept and use the officially licensed logos, emblems, or trademarks, as applicable, provided by California professional sports franchises for the specialized license plates in a design that the department determines, in consultation with the Department of the California Highway Patrol, does not obscure the readability of the license plate.
Existing law, the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act, grants certain employment rights and protections to public safety officers, as defined, and creates a cause of action against an employer that violates any of those rights or protections. The act excludes coroners and deputy coroners from its application. This bill would require the County of Los Angeles to grant the employment rights and protections of public safety officers to coroners and deputy coroners employed by that county. By requiring the County of Los Angeles to follow the requirements of these provisions with regard to coroners and deputy coroners, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Los Angeles. 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, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
This measure would name the public street, circle, and plaza at 914 and 915 Capitol Mall in the City of Sacramento as the Willie L. Brown, Jr. Circle and Plaza. The measure would request the Department of General Services to determine the cost of erecting the appropriate signage commemorating this special designation and, upon receiving donations from nonstate sources, to cover that cost to erect that signage.
