(a) (1) (A) Except as provided in subdivision (j), a person shall not be initially employed by a school district, or employed under contract, in a certificated or classified position unless the person has submitted to a tuberculosis risk assessment within the past 60 days, and, if tuberculosis risk factors are identified, has been examined to determine that the person is free of infectious tuberculosis by a physician and surgeon licensed under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 2000) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, a physician assistant practicing in compliance with Chapter 7.7 (commencing with Section 3500) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, or a nurse practitioner practicing in compliance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 2700) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code. If no risk factors are identified, an examination is not required. A person who is subject to the requirements of this subdivision may submit to an examination that complies with subparagraph (B) instead of submitting to a tuberculosis risk assessment.

(B) The examination required by this subdivision shall consist of either an approved intradermal tuberculin test or any other test for tuberculosis infection that is recommended by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and licensed by the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the test is positive, the test shall be followed by an X-ray of the lungs in accordance with subdivision (f) of Section 120115 of the Health and Safety Code.

(2) The X-ray may be taken by a competent and qualified X-ray technician if the X-ray is subsequently interpreted by a physician and surgeon licensed under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 2000) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code.

(3) The district superintendent of schools or their designee may exempt, for a period not to exceed 60 days following termination of the pregnancy, a pregnant employee from the requirement that a positive test for tuberculosis infection be followed by an X-ray of the lungs.

(b) Thereafter, an employee who has no identified risk factors or who tests negative for the tuberculosis infection shall be required to undergo the tuberculosis risk assessment and, if risk factors are identified, the examination, at least once every four years or more often if directed by the governing board of the school district upon recommendation of the local health officer. Once an employee has a documented positive test for tuberculosis infection conducted pursuant to this subdivision that has been followed by an X-ray, the tuberculosis risk assessment is no longer required. A referral shall be made within 30 days of completion of the examination to the local health officer to determine the need for followup care.

(c) After the tuberculosis risk assessment and, if indicated, the examination, the employee shall file with the district superintendent of schools a certificate from the examining physician and surgeon, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner showing the employee was examined and found free from infectious tuberculosis. The county board of education may require, by rule, that the certificates be filed in the office of the county superintendent of schools or maintained in the office of the county superintendent of schools if a majority of the governing boards of the school districts within the county petition the county board of education. A school district, or school districts with a common governing board, having an average daily attendance of 60,000 or more may elect to maintain the files for its employees in that school district.

(d) As used in this section, “certificate” means a certificate signed by the examining physician and surgeon licensed under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 2000) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, a physician assistant practicing in compliance with Chapter 7.7 (commencing with Section 3500) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, or a nurse practitioner practicing in compliance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 2700) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, or a notice from a public health agency that indicates freedom from infectious tuberculosis. The latter, regardless of form, shall constitute evidence of compliance with this section.

(e) Nothing in this section shall prevent the governing board of a school district, upon recommendation of the local health officer, from establishing a rule requiring a more extensive or more frequent physical examination than required by this section. The rule shall provide for reimbursement on the same basis as required in this section.

(f) The tuberculosis risk assessment and, if indicated, the examination is a condition of initial employment and the expense shall be borne by the applicant unless otherwise provided by rules of the governing board of the school district. However, the governing board of a school district may, if an applicant is accepted for employment, reimburse that person in a like manner prescribed in this section for employees.

(g) The governing board of a school district shall reimburse the employee for the cost, if any, of the tuberculosis risk assessment and the examination. The governing board of a school district may provide for the tuberculosis risk assessment and examination required by this section or may establish a reasonable fee for the examination that is reimbursable to employees of the school district complying with this section.

(h) At the discretion of the governing board of a school district, this section shall not apply to those employees not requiring certification qualifications who are employed for any period of time less than a school year whose functions do not require frequent or prolonged contact with pupils.

(i) If the governing board of a school district determines by resolution, after hearing, that the health of pupils in the school district would not be jeopardized, this section shall not apply to an employee of the school district who files an affidavit stating that the employee adheres to the faith or teachings of a well-recognized religious sect, denomination, or organization and, in accordance with its creed, tenets, or principles, depends for healing upon prayer in the practice of religion, and that to the best of the employee’s knowledge and belief, the employee is free from infectious tuberculosis. If at any time there is probable cause to believe that the affiant is afflicted with infectious tuberculosis, the employee may be excluded from service until the governing board of the school district is satisfied that the employee is not afflicted.

(j) A person who transfers employment from one school or school district to another school or school district shall be deemed to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) if that person can produce a certificate that shows the person was found to be free of infectious tuberculosis within 60 days of initial hire, or the school previously employing the person verifies that the person has a certificate on file showing that the person is free from infectious tuberculosis.

(k) A person who transfers their employment from a private or parochial elementary school, secondary school, or nursery school to a school or school district subject to this section shall be deemed to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) if that person can produce a certificate as provided for in Section 121525 of the Health and Safety Code that shows that they were found to be free of infectious tuberculosis within 60 days of initial hire, or if the school previously employing the person verifies that the person has a certificate on file showing that the person is free from infectious tuberculosis.

(l) (1) A governing board, county superintendent of schools, or governing body of a charter school providing for the transportation of pupils under contract authorized by Section 39800, 39801, or any other provision of law shall require as a condition of the contract the tuberculosis risk assessment and, if indicated, the examination for infectious tuberculosis within 60 days of initial hire, as provided by subdivision (a), of all drivers transporting pupils for compensation.

(2) At the discretion of the governing board, county superintendent of schools, or governing body of a charter school, paragraph (1) shall not apply to a private contracted driver who transports pupils infrequently and without prolonged contact with the pupils before July 1, 2025.

(m) A volunteer in a school shall also be required to have on file with the school a certificate showing that, upon initial volunteer assignment, the person submitted to a tuberculosis risk assessment and, if tuberculosis risk factors were identified, was examined and found to be free of infectious tuberculosis. If no risk factors are identified, an examination is not required. At the discretion of the governing board of a school district, this section shall not apply to a volunteer whose functions do not require frequent or prolonged contact with pupils.

(n) The State Department of Public Health, in consultation with the California Tuberculosis Controllers Association, shall develop a risk assessment questionnaire, to be used to conduct tuberculosis risk assessments pursuant to this section. The risk assessment questionnaire shall be administered by a health care provider, which shall be specified on the questionnaire. This risk assessment questionnaire shall be exempt from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).

Section 12923
Status: in_force

The Legislature hereby declares its intent with regard to application of the laws about harassment contained in this part.

(a) The purpose of these laws is to provide all Californians with an equal opportunity to succeed in the workplace and should be applied accordingly by the courts. The Legislature hereby declares that harassment creates a hostile, offensive, oppressive, or intimidating work environment and deprives victims of their statutory right to work in a place free of discrimination when the harassing conduct sufficiently offends, humiliates, distresses, or intrudes upon its victim, so as to disrupt the victim’s emotional tranquility in the workplace, affect the victim’s ability to perform the job as usual, or otherwise interfere with and undermine the victim’s personal sense of well-being. In this regard, the Legislature affirms its approval of the standard set forth by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her concurrence in Harris v. Forklift Systems (1993) 510 U.S. 17 that in a workplace harassment suit “the plaintiff need not prove that his or her tangible productivity has declined as a result of the harassment. It suffices to prove that a reasonable person subjected to the discriminatory conduct would find, as the plaintiff did, that the harassment so altered working conditions as to make it more difficult to do the job.” (Id. at 26).

(b) A single incident of harassing conduct is sufficient to create a triable issue regarding the existence of a hostile work environment if the harassing conduct has unreasonably interfered with the plaintiff’s work performance or created an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. In that regard, the Legislature hereby declares its rejection of the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit’s opinion in Brooks v. City of San Mateo (2000) 229 F.3d 917 and states that the opinion shall not be used in determining what kind of conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive to constitute a violation of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.

(c) The existence of a hostile work environment depends upon the totality of the circumstances and a discriminatory remark, even if not made directly in the context of an employment decision or uttered by a nondecisionmaker, may be relevant, circumstantial evidence of discrimination. In that regard, the Legislature affirms the decision in Reid v. Google, Inc. (2010) 50 Cal.4th 512 in its rejection of the “stray remarks doctrine.”

(d) The legal standard for sexual harassment should not vary by type of workplace. It is irrelevant that a particular occupation may have been characterized by a greater frequency of sexually related commentary or conduct in the past. In determining whether or not a hostile environment existed, courts should only consider the nature of the workplace when engaging in or witnessing prurient conduct and commentary is integral to the performance of the job duties. The Legislature hereby declares its disapproval of any language, reasoning, or holding to the contrary in the decision Kelley v. Conco Companies (2011) 196 Cal.App.4th 191.

(e) Harassment cases are rarely appropriate for disposition on summary judgment. In that regard, the Legislature affirms the decision in Nazir v. United Airlines, Inc. (2009) 178 Cal.App.4th 243 and its observation that hostile working environment cases involve issues “not determinable on paper.”

Section 8670.53.3
Status: in_force

(a) For purposes of this section, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) “Bond” means any bond, note, commercial paper, bond anticipation note, or other evidence of indebtedness that the Treasurer is authorized to issue for purposes of this chapter.

(2) “Standby arrangement” means a line of credit, letter of credit, or other financial arrangement with a financial institution or lending entity that allows for ready access to money.

(b) To provide funds to pay for costs of an oil spill, as set forth in Section 8670.48, in excess of money in the fund as set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 8670.53.1, the Treasurer shall make necessary financial arrangements to obtain the additional money needed to pay those costs, and that borrowing shall be reimbursed or repaid from future deposits into the fund. The Treasurer may also enter any financial arrangement necessary or appropriate to refund any draw by the administrator pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 8670.48, and that borrowing shall be reimbursed or repaid from future deposits into the fund. The financial arrangements may take the following forms, or any combination thereof:

(1) Establishment of one or more standby arrangements.

(2) Sale of bonds to provide funds for purposes of this chapter, to repay any prior drawings by the Treasurer on a standby arrangement or any drawings by the administrator on the financial security obtained by the Treasurer pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 8670.48, to repay money borrowed from the Pooled Money Investment Account, or to refund or extend any previously issued bonds.

(3) Borrowing from the Pooled Money Investment Account.

(4) Any other financial arrangement the Treasurer determines to be appropriate and cost effective.

(c) The Treasurer may enter into any financial arrangement authorized in subdivision (b) at any time, or from time to time, on a negotiated or competitive bid basis, as the Treasurer shall determine to be advisable.

(d) (1) The Governor, in any written request to the Treasurer pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 8670.53.1, shall, to the extent feasible, state both of the following:

(A) The amount of funds needed each month over the period covered by the request.

(2) The Governor may submit multiple requests to the Treasurer with respect to the same oil spill, or with respect to different oil spills. On receipt of a written request pursuant to this section, the Treasurer may draw on a standby arrangement, may use any other financial arrangement, or may issue bonds to provide funds not exceeding the amounts requested.

(e) Upon receipt of a written request for funds from the Governor, the following shall occur:

(1) The Treasurer shall convene a meeting of the Pooled Money Investment Board to obtain the funds through interim borrowing from the Pooled Money Investment Account except that no meeting is required where the request to borrow is for the purpose of repayment of a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account.

(2) The Treasurer shall ensure that the funds will thereafter be available in accordance with a financing schedule mutually agreeable to the administrator and the Treasurer.

(f) This article does not require the Treasurer to borrow more money than can be repaid from amounts available to the fund for that purpose. The Treasurer shall not be required to consider as available to the fund any future deposits resulting from an increase of the fees specified in Section 8670.48.5 until that increase has actually become effective. Once effective, the administrator shall not retract, reduce, or reject the increase unless the Treasurer certifies to the administrator that the retraction, reduction, or rejection will not diminish the security for, or ability to repay, amounts borrowed under this article or drawn pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 8670.48. The amount of borrowing that can be repaid from amounts available to the fund for that purpose shall be determined by the Treasurer in his or her sole discretion, giving due consideration to factors concerning security for, marketability of, and repayment of, any financial arrangements or other obligations that the Treasurer elects to make, incur, or issue for the purposes of complying with this chapter.

Section 19827.2
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature, having recognized December 1980 statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor, finds: that 60 percent of all women 18 to 64 are in the workforce, that two-thirds of all those women are either the head of a household or had husbands whose earnings were less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000), and that most women are in the workforce because of economic need; that the average working woman has earned less than the average working man, not only because of the lack of educational and employment opportunities in the past, but because of segregation into historically undervalued occupations where wages have been depressed; and that a failure to reassess the basis on which salaries in state service are established will perpetuate these pay inequities, which have a particularly discriminatory impact on minority and older women; and, therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this statute to establish a state policy of setting salaries on the basis of comparability of the value of the work for jobs that employ a higher proportion of females than males.

(b) The department shall evaluate all state civil service classifications in the Personnel Classification Plan and prepare a detailed report on gender and ethnicity pay equity in each classification where there is an underrepresentation of women and minorities. The department shall review and analyze existing information, including studies from other jurisdictions that are relevant to setting salaries for jobs that employ a higher proportion of females than males. This information shall be provided on an annual basis to the appropriate policy committee of the Legislature and to the parties meeting and conferring pursuant to Section 3517.

(c) The report described in subdivision (b) shall include at least the following:

(1) The department’s efforts that are consistent with existing state and federal law toward meeting the goals of pay equity for women and minorities.

(2) Statistical information for each state civil service classification.

(d) For the purpose of implementing this section, the following definitions apply:

(1) “Salary” means, except as otherwise provided in Section 18539.5, the amount of money or credit received as compensation for service rendered, exclusive of mileage, traveling allowances, and other sums received for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of the state’s business, but including the reasonable value of board, rent, housing, lodging, or similar advantages received from the state.

(2) “Comparability of the value of the work” means the value of the work performed by an employee, or group of employees within a class or salary range, in relation to the value of the work of another employee, or group of employees, to any class or salary range within state service.

(3) “Skill” means the skill required in the performance of the work, including any type of intellectual or physical skill acquired by the employee through experience, training, education, or natural ability.

(4) “Effort” means the effort required in the performance of the work, including any intellectual or physical effort.

(5) “Responsibility” means the responsibility required in the performance of the work, including the extent to which the employer relies on the employee to perform the work, the importance of the duties, and the accountability of the employee for the work of others and for resources.

(6) “Working conditions” means the conditions under which the work of an employee is performed, including physical or psychological factors.

(e) If the provisions of this section are in conflict with the provisions of a memorandum of understanding reached pursuant to Section 3517.5, the memorandum of understanding shall be controlling without further legislative action, except that if the provisions of a memorandum of understanding require the expenditure of funds, the provisions shall not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act.
