The bill would also state that possession of condoms in any amount, in and of itself, is not probable cause for arrest for specified sex work crimes.

SB 265 Hertzberg D Pupil meals: Child Hunger Prevention and Fair Treatment Act of 2017.


Would require local educational agencies to ensure that a pupil whose parent or guardian has unpaid school meal fees is not shamed, treated differently, or served a meal that differs from what a pupil paying for a school meal would receive. To the extent this bill would impose a higher level of service on school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

SB 280 Jackson D Older adults and persons with disabilities: fall prevention.


The Mello-Granlund Older Californians Act establishes the California Department of Aging, and sets forth its duties and powers, including, among other things, entering into a contract for the development of information and materials to educate Californians on the concept of “aging in place” and the benefits of home modification. Current law also establishes the Senior Housing Information and Support Center within the department for the purpose of providing information and training relating to available innovative resources and senior services, and housing options and home modification alternatives designed to support independent living or living with family. This bill would repeal those provisions relating to the department’s provision of information on housing and home modifications for seniors.

SB 282 Beall D Supportive housing for parolees.


Would repeal the Integrated Services for Mentally Ill Parolees (ISMIP) program and would instead enact the Supportive Housing Program for Persons on Parole (the program) to be administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The program would incorporate similar eligibility criteria for eligible participants and similar criteria for housing funded by the program. The bill would require the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to transfer funds appropriated from the General Fund for the ISMIP program to the department for the new program, as specified.

Would require the State Department of Social Services to ensure counties are providing the desired access to CalFresh and meeting specified participation performance outcomes.

a process of continuous improvement that includes developing a plan to meet the participation performance outcomes.

SB 290 Dodd D Natural disasters: insurance and related alternative risk-transfer products.


The California Emergency Services Act, among other things, vests the Governor with various powers and duties related to that act, including coordinating the State Emergency Plan and those programs necessary for the mitigation of the effects of an emergency in this state. Current law authorizes the Governor to expend any appropriation for support of the California Emergency Services Act to carry out its provisions. This bill, upon appropriation by the Legislature, would authorize the Governor to purchase insurance, reinsurance, insurance linked securities, or other related alternative risk-transfer products for the State of California to help mitigate against costs incurred by the state in response to a natural disaster, including, but not limited to, an earthquake, wildfire, or flood.


SB 301 Leyva D Family planning services.


Current law, under the State-Only Family Planning Program, requires family planning services for males to be expanded to include laboratory tests for sexually transmitted infections and comprehensive examinations. Current law required the department to seek to amend the waiver for the Family PACT Program to add those expanded services. Current law conditions the implementation of the expanded services on federal approval and receipt of federal financial participation. This bill would no longer condition the above-described expanded services on federal approval. If there are any reductions in federal financial participation for those expanded services, the bill would require the department to submit to the Legislature a plan to ensure the sustainability of the expanded services.

SB 321 Mitchell D CalWORKs: supportive services: childcare.

2/15/2019-Introduced. Read first time. To Com. on RLS. for assignment. To print.

Current law generally requires a recipient of CalWORKs benefits to participate in welfare-to-work activities as a condition of eligibility for aid. Current law requires that necessary supportive services be available to participants in welfare-to-work activities, including childcare, which is provided pursuant to the Child Care and Development Services Act. This bill would require that the participant be informed of the availability of childcare services upon enrollment in the CalWORKs program and at later times when a participant expresses a need for childcare.

SCA 1 Allen D Public housing projects. 12/4/2018-From printer. May be acted upon on or after January 3.

The California Constitution prohibits the development, construction, or acquisition of a low-rent housing project, as defined, in any manner by any state public body until a majority of the qualified electors of the city, town, or county in which the development, construction, or acquisition of the low-rent housing project is proposed approve the project by voting in favor at an election, as

specified. This measure would repeal these provisions.

SCA 3 Hill D Property taxation: change in ownership: inheritance exclusion.

1/7/2019-Read first time.

The California Constitution generally limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of the full cash value of that property. For purposes of this limitation, “full cash value” is defined as the assessor’s valuation of real property as shown on the 1975–76 tax bill under “full cash value” or, thereafter, the appraised value of that real property when purchased, newly constructed, or a change in ownership has occurred. The California Constitution specifies various transfers that are not deemed to be a “purchase” or “change in ownership” of a property for these purposes, including the purchase or transfer of a principal residence from parents to their children, or, under certain circumstances, from grandparents to their grandchildren, and the purchase or transfer of the first $1,000,000 of the full cash value of all other real property transferred from parents or grandparents to their children or grandchildren. This measure would limit the above-decribed $1,000,000 exclusion for purchases or transfers of real property other than a principal residence to purchases or transfers of nonresidential real property.
