(7) Subdivision (c) of Section 56341.1, which requires an individualized education program team to, if the team determines that a pupil needs a particular device or service, including an intervention, accommodation, or other program modification, in order for the pupil to receive a free appropriate public education, include a statement to that effect in the pupil’s individualized education program.

(8) The importance of obtaining stakeholder input from deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind individuals and experts from nonprofit organizations serving deaf and hard of hearing individuals.

(b) When an individualized family service plan or individualized education program team is determining the least restrictive environment for a deaf, hard of hearing, or deaf-blind pupil 0 to 22 years of age, inclusive, the individualized family service plan and individualized education program team shall do both of the following:

(1) Consider the language needs, as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 56326.5 and subdivision (d) of Section 56345, of the pupil, including the pupil’s language and communication needs, opportunities for direct communications with peers and professional personnel in the pupil’s language and communication mode, academic level, and full range of needs, including opportunities for direct instruction in the pupil’s language and communication mode consistent with, but not limited to, the requirements of Section 56341.1 and the findings and declarations in Section 56000.5.

(2) Consider reviewing placements and services available to the pupil, including those provided by a school district, a county office of education, a regional program, a nonpublic, nonsectarian school or an agency certified by the state, and the California School for the Deaf.

The entitlement for basic aid school districts shall include the reduction of 8.92 percent as applied pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 89 of Chapter 38 of the Statutes of 2012. For purposes of this subparagraph, 2012–13 fiscal year entitlements shall be considered final as of the annual apportionment for the 2012–13 fiscal year, as calculated for purposes of the certification required on or before February 20, 2014, pursuant to Sections 41332 and 41339.

(B) Commencing with the 2014–15 fiscal year, the entitlements identified in subparagraph (A) shall be adjusted to reflect the exclusion of one-time redevelopment agency liquid asset recovery revenue, pursuant to Section 34179.5 and following, of the Health and Safety Code, before the application of the 8.92-percent reduction applied pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 3 of Chapter 2 of the Statutes of 2012.

(C) The Superintendent shall annually apportion any entitlement provided to the state special schools from the items specified in subparagraph (A) to the state special schools in the same amount as the state special schools received from those items in the 2012–13 fiscal year.

(D) Commencing with the 2015–16 fiscal year, any portion of funding transferred to a school district or charter school by a joint powers agency pursuant to clause (iii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) shall be deemed to be included in the entitlements specified in subparagraph (A) for the school district or charter school.

(3) The allocations pursuant to Sections 42606 and 47634.1, as those sections read on January 1, 2013, divided by the 2012–13 average daily attendance of the charter school. That quotient shall be multiplied by the current fiscal year average daily attendance of the charter school.

(4) (A) For purposes of this subdivision, funding for a restructured charter school shall be calculated as follows:

(i) Funding for a transferred charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing both of the following:

(I) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the quotient calculated for the original charter school.

(II) For purposes of paragraph (2), using the same amount of entitlement funding calculated for the charter school before the restructuring.

(ii) (I) Funding for an acquiring charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing both of the following:

(ia) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the median quotient calculated for the original charter schools.

(ib) For purposes of paragraph (2), using the same amount of entitlement funding calculated for each original charter school before the restructuring.

(II) This clause shall become inoperative on July 1, 2026, unless its operation is extended by the Legislature.

(iii) Funding for a divided charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing the following:

(I) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the quotients calculated for the original charter school for both the restructured portions of a divided charter school and the remaining portion of a divided charter school.

(II) For purposes of paragraph (2), dividing the amount between the restructured portions of a divided charter school and the remaining portion of a divided charter school based on each charter school’s share of the combined average daily attendance of the original charter school computed pursuant to Section 42238.05 as of the second principal apportionment in the fiscal year immediately before the first fiscal year of instruction as a restructured charter school. Data regarding average daily attendance shall be provided by the charter school in a format prescribed by the Superintendent. The total average daily attendance attributable to the restructured and remaining portions of a divided charter school shall not exceed the total average daily attendance of the original charter school for the applicable fiscal year. The amounts shall be final as of the second principal apportionment for the first fiscal year of instruction as a restructured charter school and each fiscal year thereafter.

(B) The definitions in Section 47654 apply for purposes of this paragraph.

(f) (1) For purposes of this section, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year and until all school districts and charter schools equal or exceed their local control funding formula target computed pursuant to Section 42238.02, as determined by the calculation of a zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b), a newly operational charter school shall be determined to have a prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance equal to the lesser of:

(A) The prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for the school district in which the charter school is physically located. The Superintendent shall calculate the funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for this purpose by dividing the total local control funding formula entitlement, calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b), received by that school district in the prior year by prior year funded average daily attendance of that school district. For purposes of this subparagraph, a charter school that is physically located in more than one school district shall use the calculated local control funding entitlement per unit of average daily attendance of the school district with the highest prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance. For purposes of this subparagraph, the prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for the school district in which the charter school is physically located shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment of the prior fiscal year.

(B) The charter school’s local control funding formula rate computed pursuant to subdivisions (c) to (i), inclusive, of Section 42238.02.

(2) For charter schools funded pursuant to paragraph (1), the charter school shall be eligible to receive growth funding pursuant to subdivision (b) toward meeting the newly operational charter school’s local control funding formula target.

(3) Upon a determination that all school districts and charter schools equal or exceed the local control funding formula target computed pursuant to Section 42238.02, as determined by the calculation of a zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) for all school districts and charter schools, this subdivision shall not apply and the charter school shall receive an allocation equal to the amount calculated under Section 42238.02 in that fiscal year and future fiscal years.

(4) For purposes of this subdivision, the determination of a charter school’s physical location shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment for the applicable fiscal year.

(g) (1) In each fiscal year the Superintendent shall determine the percentage of school districts that are apportioned funding pursuant to this section that is less than the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02 as of the second principal apportionments of the fiscal year. If the percentage is less than 10 percent, the Superintendent shall apportion funding to school districts and charter schools equal to the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02 in that fiscal year.

(2) For each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall apportion funding to a school district and charter school equal to the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02.

(a) (1) A notary public shall keep one active sequential journal at a time, of all official acts performed as a notary public. The journal shall be kept in a locked and secured area, under the direct and exclusive control of the notary. Failure to secure the journal shall be cause for the Secretary of State to take administrative action against the commission held by the notary public pursuant to Section 8214.1.

(2) The journal shall be in addition to, and apart from, any copies of notarized documents that may be in the possession of the notary public and shall include all of the following:

(A) Date, time, and type of each official act.

(B) Character of every instrument sworn to, affirmed, acknowledged, or proved before the notary.

(C) The signature of each person whose signature is being notarized.

If identity was established by satisfactory evidence pursuant to Section 1185 of the Civil Code, the journal shall contain the signature of the credible witness swearing or affirming to the identity of the individual or the type of identifying document, the governmental agency issuing the document, the serial or identifying number of the document, and the date of issue or expiration of the document.

(E) If the identity of the person making the acknowledgment or taking the oath or affirmation was established by the oaths or affirmations of two credible witnesses whose identities are proven to the notary public by presentation of any document satisfying the requirements of paragraph (3) or (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 1185 of the Civil Code, the notary public shall record in the journal the type of documents identifying the witnesses, the identifying numbers on the documents identifying the witnesses, and the dates of issuance or expiration of the documents identifying the witnesses.

(F) The fee charged for the notarial service.

(G) If the document to be notarized is a deed, quitclaim deed, deed of trust, or other document affecting real property, or a power of attorney document, the notary public shall require the party signing the document to place his or her right thumbprint in the journal. If the right thumbprint is not available, then the notary shall have the party use his or her left thumb, or any available finger and shall so indicate in the journal.

This paragraph shall not apply to a trustee’s deed resulting from a decree of foreclosure or a nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to Section 2924 of the Civil Code, nor to a deed of reconveyance.

(b) If a sequential journal of official acts performed by a notary public is stolen, lost, misplaced, destroyed, damaged, or otherwise rendered unusable as a record of notarial acts and information, the notary public shall immediately notify the Secretary of State by certified or registered mail or any other means of physical delivery that provides a receipt.

(d) The journal of notarial acts of a notary public is the exclusive property of that notary public, and shall not be surrendered to an employer upon termination of employment, whether or not the employer paid for the journal, or at any other time. The notary public shall not surrender the journal to any other person, except the county clerk, pursuant to Section 8209, or immediately, or if the journal is not present then as soon as possible, upon request to a peace officer investigating a criminal offense who has reasonable suspicion to believe the journal contains evidence of a criminal offense, as defined in Sections 830.1, 830.2, and 830.3 of the Penal Code, acting in his or her official capacity and within his or her authority.

It is further the intent of the Legislature that all or part of any savings experienced by a participating health institution, as a result of that tax-exempt revenue bond funding, be passed on to the consuming public through lower charges or containment of the rate of increase in hospital rates. It is not the intent of the Legislature in enacting this part to encourage unneeded health facility construction. Further, it is not the intent of the Legislature to authorize the authority to control or participate in the operation of hospitals, except where default occurs under the terms of an agreement with the authority.

(b) When determining the financial feasibility of projects, the authority shall consider the more favorable interest rates reasonably anticipated through the issuance of revenue bonds under this part. It is the intent of the Legislature that the authority attempt in whatever ways possible to assist participating health institutions to finance projects that will meet the financial feasibility standards developed under this part.

(c) If a participating health institution seeking financing for a project pursuant to this part does not meet the guidelines established by the authority with respect to bond rating, the authority may nonetheless give special consideration, on a case-by-case basis, to financing the project if the participating health institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the authority the financial feasibility of the project, and the performance of significant community service.

(1) On or before January 1, 1991, has established, and agrees to maintain, a 24-hour basic emergency medical service open to the public with a physician and surgeon on duty, or is a children’s hospital as defined in Section 14087.21 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, that jointly provides basic or comprehensive emergency services in conjunction with another licensed hospital. This criterion shall not be utilized in a circumstance where a small and rural hospital, as defined in Section 442.2 of the Health and Safety Code, has not established a 24-hour basic emergency medical service with a physician and surgeon on duty or will operate a designated trauma center on a continuing basis during the life of the revenue bonds issued by the authority.

(2) Has adopted, and agrees to maintain on a continuing basis during the life of the revenue bonds issued by the authority, a policy, approved and recorded by the facility’s board of directors, of treating all patients without regard to ability to pay, including, but not limited to, emergency room walk-in patients.

(3) Has provided and agrees to provide care, on a continuing basis during the life of the revenue bonds issued by the authority, to Medi-Cal and uninsured patients in an amount not less than 5 percent of the facility’s adjusted inpatient days as reported on an annual basis to the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development.
