Status: in_force

(a) A marketing order may contain provisions for carrying on research studies in the production, processing, or distribution of any commodity and for the expenditure of moneys for these purposes. Prior to the implementation of a research program authorized by this section that will extend beyond the next reapproval date of the marketing order pursuant to Section 59086, the director shall call a public hearing pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 58771) to receive testimony regarding support for the research program by persons directly affected by the marketing order. After the hearing, the director shall find and determine, based upon the evidence received, whether or not to conduct a referendum pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 58993 prior to approval of the proposed research program in order to evaluate with greater certainty the support for the program by the persons directly affected by the marketing order.

(b) In carrying out this section, an advisory board may, subject to the approval of the director, establish a trust account to fund research programs on an ongoing basis. These programs may extend beyond the termination date of the marketing order. For any program designed to last more than one year, funding shall be provided for from the trust account during the initial year.

(c) In any research in production or processing which is carried on pursuant to this section, the Vice President for Agricultural Sciences of the University of California and the advisory board which is provided for in Article 8 (commencing with Section 58841) shall cooperate in selecting the research program which is to be carried on from time to time. Insofar as practicable, the programs shall be carried out by the University of California, but if the vice president and the advisory board determine that the university has no facilities for a particular program, or that some other research agency has better facilities for it, the program may be carried out by any other research agency which is selected by the vice president and the advisory board.

(d) In carrying out this section, an advisory board may carry out research programs for the purpose of developing and testing new products in selected markets. The proposed programs shall be submitted to the director for his or her approval prior to the expenditure of funds for the program. The proposal submitted shall include, among other things, a description of the new products, the test market to be utilized, and the duration of the program.

Section 50600
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a)  The federal Housing and Urban Development Department subsidizes over 147,000 units of California’s affordable rental housing. As the owners’ obligations expire, more than 19,000 of these units have already been converted to market-rate housing, and an additional 78,000 units are considered at risk of imminent conversion. In addition, more than 7,600 units financed with state and federal low-income housing tax credits will face some risk of conversion as the first generation of tax credit developments reach the expiration of their income and rent restrictions over the next five years. These at-risk units will likely convert to market-rate housing unless they are acquired by organizations that commit to maintaining their affordable rents.

(b)  The loss of these assisted units represents not only a loss of precious affordable housing stock and hardship and potential dislocation for tenants, 40 percent of whom are seniors, but also the loss of billions of dollars of federal housing assistance to California each year.

(c)  This looming loss of affordable rental housing is exacerbated by California’s failure to produce more than 50 percent of the new housing units needed to house the state’s population for each of the last eight years. The shortage is most strongly felt in the areas of low-cost housing for working families, people moving from welfare to work, and seniors and disabled people.

(d)  Affordable housing organizations that wish to purchase properties at risk of converting to market rate housing often do not have access to the short-term capital needed to purchase the properties quickly. This lack of short-term capital greatly reduces the likelihood that these properties will remain affordable.

(e)  The intent of this chapter is to create a short-term capital loan program to ensure that California’s supply of affordable housing is not depleted by the conversion of existing government-assisted rental housing to market-rate housing.

(a) In consultation with the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the State Air Resources Board, the director shall evaluate the health effects of pesticides that may be or are emitted into the ambient air of California and that may be determined to be a toxic air contaminant that poses a present or potential hazard to human health. Upon request of the State Air Resources Board, the director shall include a pesticide for evaluation.

(b) The director shall complete the evaluation of a pesticide within 90 days after receiving the scientific data specified in subdivision (c) from the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment and the State Air Resources Board.

(c) In conducting this evaluation, the director shall consider all available scientific data, including, but not limited to, relevant data provided by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, the Occupational Safety and Health Division of the Department of Industrial Relations, international and federal health agencies, private industry, academic researchers, and public health and environmental organizations. At the request of the director, the State Air Resources Board shall document the level of airborne emissions and the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment shall provide an assessment of related health effects of pesticides that may be determined to pose a present or potential hazard and each agency shall provide technical assistance to the department as it conducts its evaluation.

(d) The director may request, and any person shall provide, information on any substance that is or may be under evaluation and that is manufactured, distributed, or used by the person to whom the request is made, in order to carry out the director’s responsibilities pursuant to this chapter. Any person providing information pursuant to this subdivision shall identify, at the request of the director, that portion of the information submitted to the department that is a trade secret and, upon the request of the director, shall provide documentation to support the claim of the trade secret. Information supplied that is a trade secret, as specified in Section 7924.510 of the Government Code, and that is so marked at the time of submission shall not be released to the public by the director, except in accordance with Section 1060 of the Evidence Code and Section 21160 of the Public Resources Code.

(e) The director shall give priority to the evaluation and regulation of substances based on factors related to the risk of harm to public health, amount or potential amount of emissions, manner of usage of the pesticide in California, persistence in the atmosphere, and ambient concentrations in the community.
