The BSCC may reduce contribution requirements for participating counties with a general population below 200,000 upon petition by a participating county to the BSCC requesting a lower level of contribution.

(b) The BSCC shall determine the funding and scoring criteria consistent with the requirements of this chapter. Financing shall be awarded only to those counties that have previously received only a partial award or have never received an award from the state within the financing programs authorized in Chapters 3.11 (commencing with Section 15820.90) to 3.131 (commencing with Section 15820.93), inclusive. The funding criteria shall include, as a mandatory criterion, documentation of the percentage of pretrial inmates in the county jail from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, inclusive, and a description of the county’s current risk assessment based pretrial release program. Funding preference shall also be given to counties that are most prepared to proceed successfully with this financing in a timely manner. The determination of preparedness to proceed shall include the following:

(1) Counties providing a board of supervisors’ resolution authorizing an adequate amount of available matching funds to satisfy the counties’ contribution and approving the forms of the project documents deemed necessary, as identified by the board to the BSCC, to effectuate the financing authorized by this chapter, and authorizing the appropriate signatory or signatories to execute those documents at the appropriate times. The identified matching funds in the resolution shall be compatible with the state’s lease-revenue bond financing.

(2) Counties providing documentation evidencing CEQA compliance has been completed. Documentation of CEQA compliance shall be either a final Notice of Determination or a final Notice of Exemption, as appropriate, and a letter from county counsel certifying the associated statute of limitations has expired and either no challenges were filed or identifying any challenges filed and explaining how they have been resolved in a manner that allows the project to proceed as proposed.

(c) Funding consideration shall be given to counties that are seeking to replace compacted, outdated, or unsafe housing capacity that will also add treatment space or counties that are seeking to renovate existing or build new facilities that provide adequate space for the provision of treatment and rehabilitation services, including mental health treatment.

(d) A participating county may replace existing housing capacity, realizing only a minimal increase of capacity, using this financing authority if the requesting county clearly documents an existing housing capacity deficiency.

(e) A participating county with a request resulting in any increase in capacity using this financing authority shall be required to certify and covenant in writing that the county is not, and will not be, leasing housing capacity to any other public or private entity, with the exception of state agencies, for a period of 10 years beyond the completion date of the adult local criminal justice facility.

The annual adjustment made on or before January 15, 1965 and made on or before January 15 of each calendar year thereafter shall correspond to the average annual change in the calendar year immediately preceding the year during which the adjustment shall be effective. The adjustment made on or before January 1, 1964, shall correspond to the total of the average annual changes in each calendar year from the 1955 calendar year to the 1963 calendar year, inclusive.

The adjustment provided by this section shall be made only if it operates to effect an increase over the allowance payable for the calendar year immediately preceding.

Section 12100.61
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Small businesses form the core of the California economy and that it is in the interest of the state to increase opportunities and improve access to business and technical resources for entrepreneurs, the self-employed, and microbusiness and small business owners, particularly underserved business groups, including women, minority, and veteran-owned businesses, and businesses in low-wealth, rural, and disaster-impacted communities.

(b) The federal government funds and operates a range of technical assistance programs through contracts with nonprofit organizations that commit to serve and support small businesses in California, including the California Small Business Development Center Program, the Women’s Business Center Program, the Veteran Business Outreach Center Program, the Procurement Technical Assistance Center Program, the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, and the Minority Business Development Agency Center Program, and other similar programs. All of these programs provide free or low-cost services to California small businesses to enable their launch and sustained growth. It is in the interest of the state to collaborate with these programs to provide an economic environment in which small businesses can be successful, including participation in a seamless network of federal, state, and nonprofit programs, services, and activities that benefit small businesses.

(c) (1) The California Small Business Development Center Program, a component of the federal Small Business Development Center Program, plays a significant role in expanding and supporting California small businesses. There are more than 1,000 small business development centers in the United States and its territories, over 40 of which are located throughout California.

(2) The primary role of the California Small Business Development Center Program is to provide technical assistance to the state’s small businesses, including tracking assistance and outcomes that result in a meaningful contribution to the California economy. This program is administered through the federal Small Business Administration.

(d) (1) The Women’s Business Center Program plays a significant role in expanding and supporting women-owned small businesses in California. The Women’s Business Center Program was established to provide in-depth, substantive, outcome-oriented business services to women entrepreneurs, both nascent and established businesses, including a representative number of which are socially and economically disadvantaged.

(2) The Women’s Business Center Program meets its mission through the award of financial assistance to tax-exempt, private nonprofit organizations to enable them to effect a substantial economic impact in their communities, as measured by successful business startups, job creation and retention, and increased company revenues. This program is administered through the federal Small Business Administration.

(e) The Veteran Business Outreach Center Program in California plays an important role in meeting the unique needs of veterans in starting and operating businesses. The program is funded by the federal Small Business Administration’s veterans unit. The Veteran Business Outreach Center Program provides statewide small business consulting and workshops for veteran owners of small businesses, and veterans wishing to start a small business.

(f) (1) The Procurement Technical Assistance Center Program plays an important role in helping small businesses access public contract opportunities. Congress authorized the Procurement Technical Assistance Center Program in 1985 in an effort to expand the number of businesses capable of participating in the government marketplace.

(2) The Procurement Technical Assistance Center Program is administered by the federal Department of Defense. The program provides matching funds through cooperative agreements with state and local governments and nonprofit organizations for the establishment of procurement technical assistance centers to provide procurement assistance.

(3) Procurement technical assistance centers are staffed with counselors experienced in government contracting and provide a wide range of services including classes and seminars, individual counseling, and easy access to bid opportunities, contract specifications, procurement histories, and other information necessary to successfully compete for government contracts.

(g) The Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership was established in the 1980s as United States manufacturing faced increased competition from other countries. The United States faced key competitive challenges in consumer electronics, steel, and other industries. United States goods production processes were deemed comparatively outdated and innovation stagnated. The program is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, within the Department of Commerce.

(h) The Minority Business Development Center Program is administered by the federal Department of Commerce’s Minority Business Development Agency. The program provides a range of services to minority-owned businesses seeking to expand to new markets, both foreign and domestic, as well as a wide range of technical assistance and business services, including business consulting, private equity and venture capital opportunities, facilitating joint ventures, and strategic partnerships.

(i) Nonprofit, community-based 501(c)(3) organizations, often funded by financial institutions, corporations, universities and colleges, corporate social responsibility programs, and philanthropy, have emerged to fill gaps in entrepreneurial education and training for microbusinesses and small businesses and entrepreneurs in underserved business groups, and play a critical role in the local small business ecosystems.

(j) It is the intent of the Legislature to allow persons who are undocumented to receive consulting and training services and microgrants pursuant to this article. The Legislature finds and declares that this article is a state law that provides payments or assistance for persons who are undocumented within the meaning of Section 1621(d) of Title 8 of the United States Code.

This requirement applies to state agencies and does not apply to local government entities, except to local government entities that have a system interconnection or data exchange with a state agency, or that contract with a state agency, for the development, use, or maintenance of an information system, product, solution, or service.

(f) (1) A state agency, prior to establishing an information technology system interconnection or data exchange with a local government entity or otherwise partnering with a local government entity for the development, use, or maintenance of an information technology system, product, or service, shall first enter into a written agreement with that local government entity for the purpose of establishing mutually agreeable terms that protect relevant public records.

(2) The requirements of paragraph (1) shall apply prospectively, after the effective date of this subdivision, to new agreements of the types specified and to existing agreements of the types specified when they are considered for renewal.

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

(1) “Cloud computing” has the same definition as the term is defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-145, or a successor publication, and includes the service and deployment models referenced therein.

(2) “Public records” includes permanent and nonpermanent documents.

(3) “State agency” has the same meaning as that term is defined in Section 11000.

(h) The Secretary of State shall ensure that microfilming, electronic data imaging, and photographic reproduction are done in compliance with the minimum standards or guidelines, or both, as recommended by the American National Standards Institute for recording of public records or any other applicable and comparable industry standard.

(i) Nothing in this section shall prohibit a local government entity from adopting applicable standards articulated in the Secretary of State’s uniform statewide standards for Trustworthy Electronic Document or Record Preservation, the State Administrative Manual, or the Statewide Information Management Manual for purposes of utilizing a trusted system as defined in subdivision (c).

(j) This section shall take effect on January 1, 2026.

(a) For purposes of Section 12955, “discrimination” includes, but is not limited to, a failure to design and construct a covered multifamily dwelling in a manner that allows access to, and use by, disabled persons by providing, at a minimum, the following features:

(1) All covered multifamily dwellings shall have at least one building entrance on an accessible route, unless it is impracticable to do so because of the terrain or unusual characteristics of the site. The burden of establishing impracticability because of terrain or unusual site characteristics is on the person or persons who designed or constructed the housing facility.

(2) All covered multifamily dwellings with a building entrance on an accessible route shall be designed and constructed in a manner that complies with all of the following:

(A) The public and common areas are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities.

(B) All the doors designed to allow passage into and within all premises are sufficiently wide to allow passage by persons in wheelchairs.

(C) All premises within covered multifamily dwelling units contain the following features of adaptable design:

(i) An accessible route into and through the covered dwelling unit.

(ii) Light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and other environmental controls in accessible locations.

(iii) Reinforcements in bathroom walls to allow later installation of grab bars around the toilet, tub, shower stall, and shower seat, where those facilities are provided.

(iv) Useable kitchens and bathrooms so that an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver about the space.

(b) (1) For purposes of Section 12955, “discrimination” includes, but is not limited to, a failure to design and construct 10 percent of the multistory dwelling units in buildings without an elevator that consist of at least four condominium dwelling units or at least three rental apartment dwelling units in a manner that incorporates an accessible route to the primary entry level entrance and that meets the requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) with respect to the ground floor, at least one bathroom on the primary entry level and the public and common areas. Any fraction thereof shall be rounded up to the next whole number. For purposes of this subdivision, “elevator” does not include an elevator that serves only the first ground floor or any nonresidential area. In multistory dwelling units in these buildings without elevators, the “primary entry level entrance” means the principal entrance through which most people enter the dwelling unit, as designated by the California Building Standards Code or, if not designated by California Building Standards Code, by the building official.

This subdivision shall not be construed to require an elevator within an individual multistory dwelling unit or within a building subject to this subdivision. This subdivision shall apply only to multistory dwelling units in a building subject to this subdivision for which an application for a construction permit is submitted on or after July 1, 2005.

(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), the Division of the State Architect and the Department of Housing and Community Development may adopt regulations to clarify, interpret, or implement this subdivision, if either of them deem it necessary and appropriate.

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

(1) Autism is the fastest growing special education eligibility category for public education in California and the nation. In the years between 1998 and 2002, the number of pupils with autism receiving services in California almost doubled, from 10,360 to 20,377. These numbers have continued to climb at a surprising rate. In 2004, there were 4,427 additional pupils diagnosed with autism, an increase of 18 percent.

(2) Autism is not a rare disorder. It is a major public health problem that must be better addressed by the State Department of Education, the State Department of Developmental Services, the State Department of Social Services, the state public school system regional centers, and all other entities assisting children with autism.

(3) Significant gains have been made in the expansion of research related to autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders. The findings of this research need to be more fully disseminated to parents, families, school districts, nonpublic schools, and regional centers throughout the state.

(b) Accordingly, it is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting Schedule (1) of Item 4300-101-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2006 (Ch. 47, Stats. 2006), which, funded the Autistic Spectrum Disorders Initiative of the State Department of Developmental Services, and this chapter, to allow the identification and dissemination of research-based recommended practices and professional development programs for children with autism to be fully accessible and available to parents and educators.

(B) After ordering the census tracts by the civilian unemployment rate of each, the census tracts shall be divided into four equal groups or quartiles as follows:

(i) The first quartile shall represent the lowest fourth of the census tracts (the lowest 25 percent, inclusive).

(ii) The second quartile shall represent the second fourth (tracts greater than 25 percent up to 50 percent, inclusive).

(iii) The third quartile shall represent the third fourth (tracts greater than 50 percent up to 75 percent, inclusive).

(iv) The fourth quartile shall represent the fourth fourth (tracts greater than 75 percent up to 100 percent, inclusive).

(C) The last or highest quartile shall represent the top 25 percent of the census tracts with the highest civilian unemployment rates.

(3) To determine the census tracts that are within the quartile of census tracts with the highest poverty, the census tracts shall be sorted by the respective percentage of population below poverty of each in ascending order, or from the lowest (0 percent) to the highest (100 percent) according to the following:

(A) Consistent with poverty statistics in the ACS, which adhere to the standards specified by the federal Office of Management and Budget in Statistical Policy Directive 14, the poverty thresholds as specified by the United States Census Bureau shall be used to determine those individuals below poverty.

(B) To determine those individuals below poverty, different thresholds, as specified by the United States Census Bureau, shall be applied to families, people living alone, or people living with nonrelatives (unrelated individuals).

(C) If a family’s total income is less than the dollar value of the appropriate threshold, then that family and every individual in it shall be considered to be below poverty.

(D) If an unrelated individual’s total income is less than the appropriate threshold, then that individual shall be considered to be below poverty.

(E) Poverty status shall be determined for all people except institutionalized people, people in military group quarters, people in college dormitories, and unrelated individuals under 15 years of age.

(F) Census tracts that do not have a population for whom poverty status is determined shall be excluded.

(G) After ordering the census tracts by the respective percent below poverty of each, the census tracts shall be divided into four equal quartiles as follows:

(i) The first quartile shall represent the lowest fourth of the census tracts (the lowest 25 percent, inclusive).

(ii) The second quartile shall represent the second fourth (tracts greater than 25 percent up to 50 percent, inclusive).

(iii) The third quartile shall represent the third fourth (tracts greater than 50 percent up to 75 percent, inclusive).

(iv) The fourth quartile shall represent the fourth fourth (tracts greater than 75 percent up to 100 percent, inclusive).

(H) The last or highest quartile shall represent the top 25 percent of the census tracts with the highest percentage of population below poverty.

(t) (1) Determine those census tracts that are within the lowest quartile of census tracts with the lowest civilian unemployment and poverty based on data from the five-year ACS. The census tracts that are within the lowest quartile for both civilian unemployment and poverty statistics, as determined in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (s), shall be determined to be census tracts within the lowest quartile of census tracts with the lowest civilian unemployment and poverty, as applied in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (8) of subdivision (b) of Section 17053.73 and Section 23626 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(2) Based on the quartiles developed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (s), the first or lowest quartile shall represent the bottom 25 percent of the census tracts with the lowest civilian unemployment rates.

(3) Based on the quartiles developed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (s), the first or lowest quartile shall represent the bottom 25 percent of the census tracts with the lowest percentage of population below poverty.
