(B) For the 2020–21 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, one percent of the allocation calculated pursuant to Section 56836.08 for the special education local plan area for the 2019–20 fiscal year for any special education local plan area that met the criteria in Section 56212 for the 2019–20 fiscal year.

(2) The department shall calculate the average cost of a nonpublic, nonsectarian school placement in the 1997–98 fiscal year. This amount shall be multiplied by 2.5, then by one plus the inflation factor computed pursuant to Section 42238.1, as that section read on January 1, 2013, to obtain the alternative threshold amount for claims in the 1998–99 fiscal year. For the 2021–22 fiscal year, the alternative threshold amount shall be the alternative threshold amount for the prior fiscal year multiplied by one plus the inflation factor computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02, and shall also include the inflation factor of 2.31 percent instead of zero as described in Section 56836.142 for the 2020–21 fiscal year.

(c) Special education local plan areas are eligible to submit claims for costs exceeding the threshold amount on forms developed by the department. All claims for a fiscal year shall be submitted by October 31 following the close of the fiscal year. If the total amount claimed by special education local plan areas exceeds the amount appropriated, the claims shall be prorated.

(d) Special education local plan areas are eligible to submit claims for the costs of nonpublic, nonsectarian school placements in excess of those in existence in the 1997–98 fiscal year and the costs of special education and related services for pupils who reside in licensed children’s institutions.

Section 12100.31
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) California’s small businesses continue to contend with the pressures of the aging baby boomer business owners who are at or near retirement and desperately looking for an exit. According to national surveys, 79 percent of business owners want to retire within 10 years, 60 percent in less than 5 years, and 33 percent in less than 3 years. However, only 15 percent of businesses successfully transition to the next generation in the family, and only 20 percent of commercial listings actually sell. Nearly 360,000 California businesses, employing 3.9 million workers, are at risk because their owners are nearing retirement.

(b) Rather than closing for good or selling to large, out-of-state buyers, small business owners can find willing buyers in the people who work alongside them every day: their employees. Doing so would anchor essential production and services in communities, protect livelihoods, avert layoffs, and save the state money.

(c) Employees becoming owners would create opportunities for wealth-building and community stability. It would also help California create a more inclusive, equitable, and stable economy, supported by the studies of employee-owned businesses and their success and resiliency during the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.

(d) Fairness to employees is critical for the success of employee ownership transactions. Employee ownership should supplement, not supplant, fair wages, health insurance, retirement benefits, and the freedom to join a union. Employee ownership transactions through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) should be structured to provide employees with a fair valuation of their ownership stake with an independent trustee as a best practice for the transaction. Professional feasibility assessments are a best practice for transitions to all broad-based employee ownership forms.

(e) While the benefits of employee ownership are well documented, many stakeholders in the business and workforce ecosystems are unaware of broad-based employee ownership forms and their benefits, best practices for their implementation, or opportunities for their widespread expansion. In partnership with leaders in the field of employee ownership, the State of California can play a catalytic role in raising awareness of all forms of broad-based employee ownership, increasing access to capital for employee-owned enterprises, encouraging best practices, and ensuring that workers who are most burdened by income and wealth inequality and the racial wealth gap gain access to wealth, quality jobs, and workplace voice through employee ownership.

(f) It is the intent of the Legislature to establish a dedicated hub within the Office of Small Business Advocate that will increase awareness and understanding of employee ownership among stakeholders, assist business owners and employees in navigating available resources, and streamline and reduce barriers to employee ownership.

The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall also allow as otherwise provided in Section 41304 for the driver training instruction necessary to be safely tested for a driver’s license at the Department of Motor Vehicles, those physically handicapped pupils, pupils with intellectual disabilities who come within the provisions of former Section 56501, as amended by Chapter 1247 of the Statutes of 1977, and educationally handicapped pupils who are in attendance in a public secondary school in California that offers qualified instruction, and who may qualify for a driver’s license, or other license, issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, a total allowance not to exceed two hundred ninety dollars ($290) including the reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 41900 to each school district and county superintendent of schools. All driver training for pupils herein described shall be provided by qualified teachers, as defined by Sections 41906 and 41907. This section may not be applied if reimbursement allowable under Sections 41900 to 41912, inclusive, is sufficient to meet the total cost of instruction as herein described.

It is the intent of the Legislature that driver training instruction be provided to pupils as a part of the high school curriculum, and the Legislature finds and declares that exceptional children are entitled to the benefit of that instruction so far as their individual capabilities permit, understanding that those pupils herein described often require individualized and amplified driver training instruction in order to succeed in becoming safe operators of motor vehicles. Since without a means of self-transportation much of the overall program of education and rehabilitation provided for by the Legislature would be of little avail to the person without the mobility required to become a productive and well-adjusted member of society, the Legislature further declares that it is incumbent upon the state to share in the cost of providing a most needed and desirable program of driver training instruction for these exceptional children.
