(a) Except as otherwise provided and except corporate trustees which are subject to the jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions of the State of California under Division 1 (commencing with Section 99) of the Financial Code or to the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States, every charitable corporation, unincorporated association, and trustee subject to this article shall, in addition to filing copies of the instruments previously required, file with the Attorney General periodic written reports, under oath, setting forth information as to the nature of the assets held for charitable purposes and the administration thereof by the corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee, in accordance with rules and regulations of the Attorney General.

(b) The Attorney General shall make rules and regulations as to the time for filing reports, the contents thereof, and the manner of executing and filing them. The Attorney General may classify trusts and other relationships concerning property held for a charitable purpose as to purpose, nature of assets, duration of the trust or other relationship, amount of assets, amounts to be devoted to charitable purposes, nature of trustee, or otherwise, and may establish different rules for the different classes as to time and nature of the reports required to the ends (1) that the Attorney General shall receive reasonably current, periodic reports as to all charitable trusts or other relationships of a similar nature, which will enable the Attorney General to ascertain whether they are being properly administered, and (2) that periodic reports shall not unreasonably add to the expense of the administration of charitable trusts and similar relationships. The Attorney General may suspend the filing of reports as to a particular charitable trust or relationship for a reasonable, specifically designated time upon written application of the trustee filed with the Attorney General and after the Attorney General has filed in the register of charitable trusts a written statement that the interests of the beneficiaries will not be prejudiced thereby and that periodic reports are not required for proper supervision by the Attorney General’s office.

(c) A copy of an account filed by the trustee in any court having jurisdiction of the trust or other relationship, if the account substantially complies with the rules and regulations of the Attorney General, may be filed as a report required by this section.

(d) The first periodic written report, unless the filing thereof is suspended as herein provided, shall be filed not later than four months and 15 days following the close of the first calendar or fiscal year in which property is initially received. If any part of the income or principal of a trust previously established is authorized or required to be applied to a charitable purpose at the time this article takes effect, the first report shall be filed at the close of the calendar or fiscal year in which it was registered with the Attorney General or not later than four months and 15 days following the close of the calendar or fiscal period.

(e) Every charitable corporation, unincorporated association, and trustee required to file reports with the Attorney General pursuant to this section that receives or accrues in any fiscal year gross revenue of two million dollars ($2,000,000) or more, exclusive of grants from, and contracts for services with, governmental entities for which the governmental entity requires an accounting of the funds received, shall do the following:

(1) Prepare annual financial statements using generally accepted accounting principles that are audited by an independent certified public accountant in conformity with generally accepted auditing standards. For any nonaudit services performed by the firm conducting the audit, the firm and its individual auditors shall adhere to the standards for auditor independence set forth in the latest revision of the Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (the Yellow Book). The Attorney General may, by regulation, prescribe standards for auditor independence in the performance of nonaudit services, including standards different from those set forth in the Yellow Book. If a charitable corporation or unincorporated association that is required to prepare an annual financial statement pursuant to this subdivision is under the control of another organization, the controlling organization may prepare a consolidated financial statement. The audited financial statements shall be available for inspection by the Attorney General and by members of the public no later than nine months after the close of the fiscal year to which the statements relate. A charity shall make its annual audited financial statements available to the public in the same manner that is prescribed for IRS Form 990 by the latest revision of Section 6104(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and associated regulations.

(2) If it is a corporation, have an audit committee appointed by the board of directors. The audit committee may include persons who are not members of the board of directors, but the member or members of the audit committee shall not include any members of the staff, including the president or chief executive officer and the treasurer or chief financial officer. If the corporation has a finance committee, it must be separate from the audit committee. Members of the finance committee may serve on the audit committee; however, the chairperson of the audit committee may not be a member of the finance committee and members of the finance committee shall constitute less than one-half of the membership of the audit committee. Members of the audit committee shall not receive any compensation from the corporation in excess of the compensation, if any, received by members of the board of directors for service on the board and shall not have a material financial interest in any entity doing business with the corporation. Subject to the supervision of the board of directors, the audit committee shall be responsible for recommending to the board of directors the retention and termination of the independent auditor and may negotiate the independent auditor’s compensation, on behalf of the board of directors. The audit committee shall confer with the auditor to satisfy its members that the financial affairs of the corporation are in order, shall review and determine whether to accept the audit, shall ensure that any nonaudit services performed by the auditing firm conform with standards for auditor independence referred to in paragraph (1), and shall approve performance of nonaudit services by the auditing firm. If the charitable corporation that is required to have an audit committee pursuant to this subdivision is under the control of another corporation, the audit committee may be part of the board of directors of the controlling corporation.

(f) If, independent of the audit requirement set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (e), a charitable corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee required to file reports with the Attorney General pursuant to this section prepares financial statements that are audited by a certified public accountant, the audited financial statements shall be available for inspection by the Attorney General and shall be made available to members of the public in conformity with paragraph (1) of subdivision (e).

(g) The board of directors of a charitable corporation or unincorporated association, or an authorized committee of the board, and the trustee or trustees of a charitable trust shall review and approve the compensation, including benefits, of the president or chief executive officer and the treasurer or chief financial officer to ensure that it is just and reasonable. This review and approval shall occur initially upon the hiring of the officer, whenever the term of employment, if any, of the officer is renewed or extended, and whenever the officer’s compensation is modified. Separate review and approval shall not be required if a modification of compensation extends to substantially all employees. If a charitable corporation is affiliated with other charitable corporations, the requirements of this section shall be satisfied if review and approval is obtained from the board, or an authorized committee of the board, of the charitable corporation that makes retention and compensation decisions regarding a particular individual.

The present value cost of the solar energy equipment does not include the cost of unrelated building components. The department, in making the present value assessment, shall obtain interest rates, discount rates, and consumer price index figures from the Treasurer, and shall take into consideration air emission reduction benefits and the value of stable energy costs.

Section 48004
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) With the expansion of transitional kindergarten, there is an increased need to support our youngest multilingual learners, including pupils whose primary language is a language other than English, pupils who are learning two or more languages at the same time, and pupils who are learning a second language while still developing their first language.

(2) The languages and cultures that pupils bring with them are an asset to their learning communities and should be uplifted and celebrated. Research demonstrates the cognitive, economic, and long-term academic benefits of multilingualism and multiliteracy.

(3) Early identification of multilingual learners is key in providing early support with evidence-based language development resources and in improving pupil outcomes. However, identification should be done in a developmentally appropriate manner that minimizes the stress placed on young pupils.

(4) With the passage of Assembly Bill 2268 of the 2023–24 Regular Session, signed by the Governor on June 14, 2024, the Legislature affirmed its commitment to ensuring all pupils in transitional kindergarten, including young four-year-old children eligible for transitional kindergarten, are not assessed for English language acquisition status with a language proficiency assessment that is not developmentally appropriate.

(5) As a result of the passage of Assembly Bill 2268 of the 2023–24 Regular Session, pupils in transitional kindergarten were exempted from the requirement to be administered the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) in the 2024–25 school year, thereby eliminating the ability of local educational agencies to screen pupils in transitional kindergarten for English language acquisition status.

(6) It is the intent of the Legislature to ensure an efficient method of screening pupils in transitional kindergarten for English language acquisition status to determine if they are a multilingual learner and to streamline processes for local educational agencies and staff through the statewide use of a standardized screening instrument that is developmentally appropriate for use with three- and four-year-old children entering transitional kindergarten.

(7) It is further the intent of the Legislature that local educational agencies provide language development support to multilingual learners in transitional kindergarten and that local educational agencies and teachers and staff assigned to transitional kindergarten classrooms provide parents or guardians of pupils enrolled in transitional kindergarten with information regarding the benefits of multilingualism.

(8) It is further the intent of the Legislature that local educational agencies identify multilingual learners in transitional kindergarten who need language development support by using a screening instrument that meets all requirements of subdivision (d) and a home language survey that complements the screening.

(b) (1) (A) By no later than March 31, 2026, the Superintendent shall select, subject to the approval of the executive director of the state board, a list of screening instruments that meet the requirements of subdivision (d) to support the identification of multilingual learners in transitional kindergarten.

(B) The Superintendent shall submit recommendations to the executive director of the state board, and the relevant policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature, whether any of the screening instruments chosen pursuant to this section are also developmentally appropriate for identifying dual language learners, who are three through four years old, inclusive, in California state preschool programs.

(2) (A) For the 2025–26 fiscal year, the sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Superintendent for any of the following purposes:

(i) To acquire screening instruments selected pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) and any training materials, available for use by, and free of cost to, local educational agencies.

(ii) To support field testing of the screening instruments pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c).

(B) Funds appropriated pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be available for expenditure or encumbrance through June 30, 2028.

(3) For purposes of this subdivision, the department is exempt from the requirements of Part 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division 2 of the Public Contract Code and from the requirements of Article 6 (commencing with Section 999) of Chapter 6 of Division 4 of the Military and Veterans Code.

(c) (1) (A) Commencing with the 2027–28 school year, a local educational agency serving pupils in transitional kindergarten pursuant to Section 48000 shall screen transitional kindergarten pupils whose primary language is a language other than English, as indicated on a home language survey administered upon the pupil’s enrollment, to identify whether they are multilingual learners using a screening instrument selected by the Superintendent pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).

(B) The department shall provide guidance to local educational agencies on the use of the screening instruments selected pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).

(2) In the 2026–27 school year the Superintendent may select local educational agencies to voluntarily conduct a field test of the screening instruments selected pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).

(d) The screening instruments selected pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall be able to measure the extent to which a pupil enrolled in a transitional kindergarten pursuant to Section 48000 would benefit from additional support in English by screening their English language listening and speaking skills and shall meet all of the following requirements:

(1) Have psychometric properties of reliability and validity deemed adequate by technical experts.

(2) Be developmentally and age-appropriate for pupils in transitional kindergarten.

(3) Be capable of administration to pupils with a primary language other than English.

(4) Be capable of administration by classroom teachers or other adults assigned to the classroom.

(5) Not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, or gender.

(e) Local educational agencies that screen pupils pursuant to this section shall ensure that, based on the responses of a home language survey administered upon a pupil’s enrollment, a pupil is screened within 30 days upon enrollment in a transitional kindergarten program.

(f) Results of the screening administered pursuant to this section shall not be used for any of the following:

(1) To identify a pupil as an English learner pursuant to Section 306.

(2) Any high-stakes purpose, including, but not limited to, teacher or other school staff evaluation, accountability, pupil grade promotion or retention, identification for gifted or talented education, reclassification of English learners, or identification as an individual with exceptional needs.

(g) (1) This section does not preclude a local educational agency from administering, based on the responses of a home language survey administered upon a pupil’s enrollment, the English language proficiency assessment pursuant to Sections 313 and 60810 to a pupil in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive.

(2) This section does not change existing law that excludes a pupil enrolled in a transitional kindergarten program pursuant to Section 48000 from being administered an English language proficiency assessment pursuant to Section 313 or 60810.

(h) This section does not preclude an educator from providing language development support to pupils in transitional kindergarten based on classroom observations and the educator’s interactions with a pupil.

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

(1) “English learner” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 306.

(2) “Home language survey” means a survey administered at or before the time of a pupil’s initial enrollment to identify whether the primary or native language of a pupil is a language other than English and may be the same as the survey required pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 11518.5 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations.

(3) “Kindergarten” does not include transitional kindergarten, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 48000.

(4) “Local educational agency” means a school district, county office of education, or charter school.

(5) “Multilingual learner” is a pupil enrolled in transitional kindergarten pursuant to Section 48000 who has a primary language other than English, as indicated on a home language survey administered upon the pupil’s enrollment, and could benefit from support for their linguistic and developmental needs as determined by a screening instrument selected pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b).

(j) For purposes of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the appropriation made pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) shall be deemed to be “General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts,” as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202, for the 2025–26 fiscal year, and included within the “total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B,” as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202, for the 2025–26 fiscal year.

(k) Notwithstanding any other law, this section shall not be waived by the state board pursuant to Section 33050 or by the Superintendent.

Section 12950.1
Status: in_force

(a) (1) By January 1, 2021, an employer having five or more employees shall provide at least two hours of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of classroom or other effective interactive training and education regarding sexual harassment to all nonsupervisory employees in California. Thereafter, each employer covered by this section shall provide sexual harassment training and education to each employee in California once every two years. New nonsupervisory employees shall be provided training within six months of hire. New supervisory employees shall be provided training within six months of the assumption of a supervisory position. An employer may provide this training in conjunction with other training provided to the employees. The training may be completed by employees individually or as part of a group presentation, and may be completed in shorter segments, as long as the applicable hourly total requirement is met. An employer who has provided this training and education to an employee in 2019 is not required to provide refresher training and education again until two years thereafter. The training and education required by this section shall include information and practical guidance regarding the federal and state statutory provisions concerning the prohibition against and the prevention and correction of sexual harassment and the remedies available to victims of sexual harassment in employment. The training and education shall also include practical examples aimed at instructing supervisors in the prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation, and shall be presented by trainers or educators with knowledge and expertise in the prevention of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. The department shall provide a method for employees who have completed the training to save electronically and print a certificate of completion.

(c) Notwithstanding subdivisions (j) and (k) of Section 12940, a claim that the training and education required by this section did not reach a particular individual or individuals shall not in and of itself result in the liability of any employer to any present or former employee or applicant in any action alleging sexual harassment. Conversely, an employer’s compliance with this section does not insulate the employer from liability for sexual harassment of any current or former employee or applicant.

(d) If an employer violates this section, the department may seek an order requiring the employer to comply with these requirements.

(e) The training and education required by this section is intended to establish a minimum threshold and should not discourage or relieve any employer from providing for longer, more frequent, or more elaborate training and education regarding workplace harassment or other forms of unlawful discrimination in order to meet its obligations to take all reasonable steps necessary to prevent and correct harassment and discrimination. This section shall not be construed to override or supersede statutes, including, but not limited to, Section 1684 of the Labor Code, that meet or exceed the training for nonsupervisory employees required under this section.

(h) (1) For purposes of this section only, “employer” means any person regularly employing five or more persons or regularly receiving the services of five or more persons providing services pursuant to a contract, or any person acting as an agent of an employer, directly or indirectly, the state, or any political or civil subdivision of the state, and cities.

(2) For purposes of this section, “abusive conduct” means conduct of an employer or employee in the workplace, with malice, that a reasonable person would find hostile, offensive, and unrelated to an employer’s legitimate business interests. Abusive conduct may include repeated infliction of verbal abuse, such as the use of derogatory remarks, insults, and epithets, verbal or physical conduct that a reasonable person would find threatening, intimidating, or humiliating, or the gratuitous sabotage or undermining of a person’s work performance. A single act shall not constitute abusive conduct, unless especially severe and egregious.

(i) For purposes of providing training to employees as required by this section, an employer may develop its own training module or may direct employees to view the online training course referenced in subdivision (j) and this shall be deemed to have complied with and satisfied the employers’ obligations as set forth in this section and Section 12950.

(2) For purposes of this subdivision, “multiemployer collective bargaining agreement” means a bona fide collective bargaining agreement to which multiple employers are signatory, including predecessor and successor agreements.
