The district disbursing officer shall issue warrants, using procedures prescribed by the county auditor, on the county treasury for all debts and demands, within categories designated by the county superintendent, against the district when amounts are legally approved. The form of the warrant shall be prescribed by, and approved by, the county auditor or county treasurer having jurisdiction.

The cost of printing warrants may be charged to the district. Notwithstanding Section 84000, except for assessing and tax collecting, the county auditor and county treasurer may charge those districts that draw their own warrants for additional costs which result from the implementation of this section.

Notwithstanding Section 27005 of the Government Code, or any other provision of law requiring orders for warrants or warrants to be signed by the county superintendent of schools or the county auditor, or both, the county superintendent and county auditor may prescribe alternative procedures for districts to issue warrants. The district disbursing officer shall not be considered a deputy county superintendent of schools or a deputy county auditor. The county treasurer shall pay the warrant in the designated category, if district funds are available.

County officers shall not be responsible for providing reports, statements, or other data relating to, or based on, the designated payments of expenses of the district. Those districts issuing warrants, as provided by this section, shall provide the county superintendent of schools, in the form prescribed by the county superintendent, with the data necessary to make retirement reports and other reports required of him or her by law. All warrants, vouchers, and supporting documents shall be kept by school districts that draw their own warrants in those designated categories.

The county superintendent shall provide for a periodic review of the districts’ financial transactions and internal controls pursuant to Section 85237.5.

County superintendents of schools may provide fiscal, budgetary, and data-processing services through contractual agreements to community college districts that have been determined to be fiscally accountable under the provisions of this section.

The person authorized by the governing board of the district to issue warrants, pursuant to this section, shall execute an official bond in an amount fixed by the governing board conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties under this section. A county superintendent or county auditor shall not be liable under the terms of their bonds or otherwise for any warrant issued pursuant to this section. This section shall not be construed as impairing the obligation of any contract in the bond of such officer in effect on January 1, 1977.

In order to obtain the approval of the county superintendent of schools and county auditor for fiscally accountable status, the governing board of a community college district shall file a written application with the county superintendent of schools and county auditor having jurisdiction on forms which the county superintendent shall prescribe. Upon receipt of an application from the district, the county superintendent shall cause an audit to be made of the district’s management and accounting controls, in accordance with standards prescribed by him or her, by an independent certified public accountant or public accountant approved by the county superintendent, who shall report his or her findings and recommendations to the county superintendent and to the applicant district. The audit report may include Department of Finance guidelines and other assessments of fiscal management as required by the county superintendent or the audit may be the report of the annual district audit pursuant to Section 84040 if that is acceptable to the county superintendent of schools. The cost of the audit required in support of a district’s application for fiscal accountability shall be borne by the applicant district.

The county superintendent and county auditor shall review the district’s application and report of financial management and control and may approve the application if they find the management and accounting controls of the district to be adequate. If the county superintendent and county auditor determine that such management and accounting controls are inadequate, they shall disapprove the application.

A district that applies for fiscal accountability status shall file its written application with the county superintendent of schools on or before September 1. The required audit of financial management and accounting controls shall be filed on or before January 1. When a district’s application for fiscal accountability status has been approved by the county superintendent of schools and county auditor, the issuance of warrants by the district pursuant to this section shall be effective at the beginning of a fiscal year, provided that approval had been made prior to the preceding first day in March. If disapproved, the county superintendent of schools shall state the specific steps which are required to be taken by the applicant district to receive approval and these changes shall be certified as completed by an independent certified public accountant or public accountant before the county superintendent shall approve the application. If at any time the county superintendent of schools or the county auditor determines that the financial management or accounting controls of the district have become inadequate, either officer may revoke approval for fiscal accountability status effective immediately.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, every retirement allowance or death allowance payable, on or after the operative date of this section, to or on account of any member of Retirement Plan E who retires or dies or who has retired or died shall, as of April 1 each year, be increased or decreased by an amount equal to that member’s automatic COLA, as defined in subdivision (f) and as calculated by the board of retirement before April 1 of each year. No decrease in the cost of living shall reduce an allowance below the amount being received by the member or his or her beneficiary on the effective date of the allowance or the operative date of this section, whichever is later.

(b) A Retirement Plan E member may elect to purchase an elective COLA, as defined in subdivision (f), with regard to some portion (designated in whole-month increments) or all of his or her months of Retirement Plan E service earned prior to the operative date of this section. The member may also elect to purchase an elective COLA, as defined in subdivision (f), with regard to some portion (designated in whole-month increments) or all of his or her months of Retirement Plan E service purchased pursuant to Section 31490.5, including service rendered after June 4, 2002, but prior to becoming a member of this system.

(c) The election shall be made upon written application signed by the member and filed with the board pursuant to election procedures and during election periods established by the board. The purchase of the elective COLA shall be effective only when the member has paid contributions necessary to purchase the designated amount of service for which he or she shall receive the elective COLA. The amount of required contributions shall be determined by the board, subject to the following:

(1) The cost of purchasing service for elective COLA purposes shall be determined by the board of retirement such that no elective COLA liability shall be borne by the county and no diminution in the funding ratio of the system shall result.

(2) The cost charged to the member for purchasing the elective COLA service shall be based upon the assumption that the member retires at the age of 65 years.

(3) Members may pay for the elective COLA by lump-sum payment or monthly installments over a period to be determined by a resolution adopted by a majority vote of the board of retirement, or both, but in any event prior to the earlier of his or her death or the date that is 120 days after the effective date of his or her retirement.

(4) If a member fails to timely complete the purchase of his or her elective COLA, he or she shall receive an elective COLA calculated only with regard to that amount of service actually purchased.

(5) If a Retirement Plan E member dies prior to retirement, any contributions made toward the purchase of an elective COLA, and all interest credited thereto, shall be refunded to the deceased member’s surviving spouse or, if there is no surviving spouse, to the deceased member’s surviving child or children under the age of 18 years, divided among those children in equal amounts, or, if there is no surviving spouse or surviving child or children under the age of 18 years, to the deceased member’s estate.

(d) If a Retirement Plan E member elects and purchases an elective COLA, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this article, every Retirement Plan E allowance or postretirement death allowance payable on and after the operative date of this section, to or on account of that member who retires or dies or who has retired or died shall, as of April 1 of each year, be increased or decreased by an amount equal to that member’s elective COLA as calculated by the board of retirement before April 1 of each year. No decrease in the cost of living shall reduce an allowance below the amount being received by the member or his or her beneficiary on the effective date of the allowance or this provision, whichever is later.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, if a member retires before attaining the age of 65 years, his or her elective COLA shall be actuarially reduced to reflect that earlier retirement age unless, within 120 days after his or her retirement, he or she contributes by lump-sum the amount necessary to complete the purchase of his or her elective COLA as determined by the board. If, upon a member’s retirement, the board of retirement determines that a member has paid more contributions than necessary to purchase his or her elective COLA in accordance with subdivision (b), the member shall receive a refund of those excess contributions and all interest credited thereto. Upon retirement or termination of employment, but before he or she begins receiving his or her elective COLA, a member may revoke his or her election to purchase an elective COLA and receive a refund of any contributions made toward the purchase of the elective COLA and all interest credited thereto.

(e) If a Retirement Plan E member or former member is totally disabled, begins receiving disability benefits, other than state-mandated benefits, under a disability plan provided by the employer on or after the operative date of this section, and, on or after that date, his or her employment terminates, then, for purposes of calculating the member’s or former member’s final compensation, his or her predisability compensation, as previously adjusted in accordance with this subdivision and paragraph (5) of subdivision (f), shall, as of April 1 of each year after his or her employment terminates and during a period for which he or she both remains totally disabled and earns “service” within the meaning of subdivision (g) of Section 31488, be increased or decreased by an amount equal to that member’s or former member’s predisability compensation adjustment as calculated by the board of retirement before April 1 of each year.

(f) As used in this section:

(1) “Automatic COLA” means, with respect to any member of Retirement Plan E, an amount equal to the allowance then being received (including any automatic or elective COLAs previously received), multiplied by a percentage (rounded to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent) derived by taking the number of months of service the member earned on and after the operative date of this section, dividing by the member’s total months of service, and multiplying by a percentage equal to the lesser of 2 percent or the percentage found by the board of retirement to approximate to the nearest one-half of 1 percent the percentage of annual increase or decrease in the cost of living as of January 1 of each year as shown by the then current CPI, as adjusted for the amount applied from a prior year. For purposes of applying this formula, the amount of any annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI in excess of the 2 percent maximum shall be accumulated and applied in future years in which the annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI is less than the 2 percent maximum.

(2) “CPI” means the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the area in which the county seat is situated.

(3) “Elective COLA” means, with respect to any member of Retirement Plan E, an amount equal to the allowance then being received (including any automatic or elective COLAs previously received), multiplied by a percentage (rounded to the nearest one-tenth of 1 percent) derived by taking the number of months of service the member purchased in accordance with subdivision (b), dividing by the member’s total months of service, and multiplying by a percentage equal to the lesser of 2 percent or the percentage found by the board of retirement to approximate to the nearest one-half of 1 percent the percentage of annual increase or decrease in the cost of living as of January 1 of each year as shown by the then current CPI, as adjusted for the amount applied from a prior year. For purposes of applying this formula, the amount of any annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI in excess of the 2 percent maximum shall be accumulated and applied in future years in which the annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI is less than the 2 percent maximum.

(4) “Predisability compensation” means a member’s last 12 months of compensation earnable preceding the date his or her employment terminates while he or she is receiving disability benefits, other than state-mandated benefits, under a disability plan provided by the employer because he or she is totally disabled. The employer shall provide the board of retirement with the information necessary for a member’s predisability compensation to be determined.

(5) “Predisability compensation adjustment” means, with respect to any member or former member of Retirement Plan E qualifying under subdivision (e), an amount equal to that member’s or former member’s predisability compensation as previously adjusted under this section, multiplied by a percentage equal to the lesser of 2 percent or the percentage found by the board of retirement to approximate to the nearest one-half of 1 percent the percentage of annual increase or decrease in the cost of living as of January 1, of each year as shown by the then current CPI, as adjusted for the amount applied from a prior year. For the purpose of applying this formula, the amount of any annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI in excess of the 2 percent maximum shall be accumulated and applied in future years in which the annual cost-of-living increase under the CPI is less than the 2 percent maximum.

(g) This section shall only be applicable to Los Angeles County and shall not become operative until the board of supervisors of that county elects, by resolution adopted by a majority vote, to make this section operative in the county.

The department shall promptly notify the Attorney General, the State Public Defender, and counsel for any inmate for whom an execution date has been set or for whom a motion to set an execution date is pending of any adoption or amendment of the standards. Noncompliance with this subdivision is not a ground for stay of an execution or an injunction against carrying out an execution unless the noncompliance has actually prejudiced the inmate’s ability to challenge the standard, and in that event the stay shall be limited to a maximum of 10 days.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 3604, an execution by lethal injection may be carried out by means of an injection other than intravenous if the warden determines that the condition of the inmate makes intravenous injection impractical.

Such a claim shall be dismissed if the court finds its presentation was delayed without good cause. If the method is found invalid, the court shall order the use of a valid method of execution. If the use of a method of execution is enjoined by a federal court, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation shall adopt, within 90 days, a method that conforms to federal requirements as found by that court. If the department fails to perform any duty needed to enable it to execute the judgment, the court which rendered the judgment of death shall order it to perform that duty on its own motion, on motion of the District Attorney or Attorney General, or on motion of any victim of the crime as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 28 of Article I of the California Constitution.

(a) An owner of a site who has actual awareness of a release exceeding the notification threshold shall take all reasonable steps as defined in subdivision (j) of Section 850 to expeditiously identify the potentially responsible parties. The owner shall, as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual awareness of the potentially responsible parties, send a notice of potential liability to the identified potentially responsible parties and the agency, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 25260 of the Health and Safety Code, that the owner believes to be the appropriate oversight agency. For any release exceeding the notification threshold of which the owner has actual awareness that occurred prior to, but within three years of, the effective date of this section, the notice shall be given on or before December 31, 1998.

(b) A potentially responsible party who has actual awareness of a release which is likely to exceed the notification threshold shall as soon as reasonably possible after obtaining actual awareness of the release provide the owner of the site where the release occurred with a release report. For any release exceeding the notification threshold of which the potentially responsible party has actual awareness that occurred prior to, but within three years of, the effective date of this section, the release report shall be given on or before December 31, 1998. A potentially responsible party may issue, at the potentially responsible party’s option, a commitment statement to the owner of the site within 120 days of the potentially responsible party’s issuance of a release report. The fact that a release report is issued shall not constitute an admission of liability and may not be admitted as evidence against a potentially responsible party in any litigation.

(c) When a notice of potential liability is issued, a notice recipient shall respond to the owner, in writing, and by certified mail, return receipt requested, within 120 days from the date that the notice of potential liability was mailed. The notice recipient’s response shall be either a commitment statement or a negative response. The notice recipient’s failure to submit the written response within the 120-day period, or failure to strictly comply with the form of the written response, as provided in Section 854, shall be deemed a negative response. The owner may agree in writing to extend the period during which the notice recipient may respond to the notice of potential liability. An extension of up to 120 days shall be provided if the notice recipient commits to do a site investigation, the results of which shall be provided to the owner and the oversight agency.

(d) (1) The common law duty to mitigate damages shall apply to any failure of the owner of a site to give a timely notice of potential liability when the owner is required to give this notice pursuant to this chapter. Where an owner fails to mitigate damages by not giving a timely notice of potential liability, the owner’s damage claim shall be reduced in accordance with common law principles by the amount that the potentially responsible party proves would have likely been mitigated had a timely notice of potential liability been given.

(2) Common law principles shall apply to the failure of the potentially responsible party to issue a timely release report. Where a potentially responsible party fails to give a timely release report, the potentially responsible party, in accordance with common law principles, shall be responsible to the owner of the site, for damages that the owner proves are likely caused by the failure to provide a release report.

(3) Any party who argues the applicability of this subdivision carries the burden of proof in that regard.

(4) Nothing in this section is intended to create a new cause of action or defense beyond that which already exists under common law.

(5) Subdivisions (a) and (b), and paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subdivision, shall not apply when the party to whom a notice of potential liability or release report is owed already possesses actual awareness of the information required to be transmitted in the notice of potential liability or release report.

(e) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the requirements of this chapter shall not apply to a site listed pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 78760) of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of Division 45 of the Health and Safety Code for response action pursuant to Part 2 (commencing with Section 78000) of Division 45 of the Health and Safety Code or to a site where an oversight agency has issued an order or entered into an enforceable agreement pursuant to any authority, including, but not limited to, an order or enforceable agreement entered into by a local agency, the Department of Toxic Substance Control, the State Water Resources Control Board, or a regional water quality control board pursuant to Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 25100), Chapter 6.7 (commencing with Section 25280), Chapter 6.75 (commencing with Section 25299.10), Chapter 6.86 (commencing with Section 25396), or Chapter 6.11 (commencing with Section 25404) of Division 20 of, or Part 2 (commencing with Section 78000) of Division 45 of, the Health and Safety Code, or pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code.

(2) The requirements of this chapter shall apply if either of the following applies:

(A) The order or enforceable agreement is issued or entered into after the owner accepts a commitment statement.

(B) The Department of Toxic Substance Control, State Water Resources Control Board, or regional water quality control board that issued the order or entered into an enforceable agreement consents in writing to the applicability of this chapter to the site.

(f) It is the intent of the Legislature for this chapter to resolve disputes between, and affect the rights of, private parties only. Nothing in this chapter shall affect the authority of the Department of Toxic Substance Control, the State Water Resources Control Board, a regional water quality control board, or any other oversight agency.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, any time prior to accepting a commitment statement, the owner may provide the notice to the notice recipient that the provisions of subdivision (c), paragraph (2) of subdivision (e), and Sections 852 and 854, shall not apply to the site, in which case the provisions of subdivision (c), paragraph (2) of subdivision (e), and Sections 852 and 854 shall not apply to the site and the owner and notice recipient shall be entitled to pursue all other legal remedies and defenses authorized by law.

(c) (1) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prevent a legislative body from holding closed sessions with the Attorney General, district attorney, sheriff, or chief of police, or their respective deputies, on matters posing a threat to the security of public buildings or a threat to the public’s right of access to public services or public facilities, or from holding closed sessions during a regular or special meeting to consider the appointment, employment, evaluation of performance, discipline, or dismissal of an employee of the student body organization or to hear complaints or charges brought against the employee by another person or employee unless the employee requests a public session.

(2) As a condition to holding a closed session on specific complaints or charges brought against an employee by another person or employee, the employee shall be given written notice of the employee’s right to have the complaints or charges heard in an open session rather than a closed session, which notice shall be delivered to the employee personally or by mail at least 24 hours before the time for holding the session. If notice is not given, any disciplinary or other action taken by the legislative body against the employee based on the specific complaints or charges in the closed session shall be null and void.

(3) A legislative body also may exclude from the public or closed meeting, during the examination of a witness, any or all other witnesses in the matter being investigated by the legislative body.

(4) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term “employee” shall include an officer or an independent contractor who functions as an officer or an employee of the student body organization, but shall not include any elected official, member of a legislative body, or other independent contractor. Closed sessions held pursuant to this section shall not include discussion or action on proposed compensation except for a reduction of compensation that results from the imposition of discipline.

(A) Approval of an agreement concluding real property negotiations pursuant to subdivision (a) shall be reported after the agreement is final, as follows:

(i) If its own approval renders the agreement final, the legislative body board or subboard shall report that approval and the substance of the agreement in open session at the public meeting during which the closed session is held.

(ii) If final approval rests with the other party to the negotiations, the legislative body shall disclose the fact of that approval and the substance of the agreement upon inquiry by any person, as soon as the other party or its agent has informed the legislative body of its approval.

(B) Approval given to its legal counsel to defend, or seek or refrain from seeking appellate review or relief, or to enter as an amicus curiae in any form of litigation, as the result of a consultation under subdivision (b) shall be reported in open session at the public meeting during which the closed session is held. The report shall identify, if known, the adverse party or parties and the substance of the litigation. In the case of approval given to initiate or intervene in an action, the announcement need not identify the action, the defendants, or other particulars, but shall specify that the direction to initiate or intervene in an action has been given and that the action, the defendants, and the other particulars shall, once formally commenced, be disclosed to any person upon inquiry, unless to do so would jeopardize the ability of the student body organization to effectuate service of process on one or more unserved parties, or that to do so would jeopardize its ability to conclude existing settlement negotiations to its advantage.

(C) Approval given to its legal counsel of a settlement of pending litigation, as defined in subdivision (b), at any stage prior to or during a judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding shall be reported after the settlement is final, as follows:

(ii) If final approval rests with some other party to the litigation or with the court, then, as soon as the settlement becomes final, and upon inquiry by any person, the legislative body shall disclose the fact of that approval and identify the substance of the agreement.

(D) Action taken to appoint, employ, dismiss, accept the resignation of, or otherwise affect the employment status of an employee of the employee organization in closed session pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be reported at the public meeting during which the closed session is held. Any report required by this subparagraph shall identify the title of the employee’s position. Notwithstanding the general requirement of this subparagraph, the report of a dismissal or of the nonrenewal of an employment contract shall be deferred until the first public meeting following the exhaustion of administrative remedies, if any.

(E) Approval of an agreement concluding labor negotiations with represented employees pursuant to subdivision (e) shall be reported after the agreement is final and has been accepted or ratified by the other party. The report shall identify the item approved and the other party or parties to the negotiation.

(2) Reports that are required to be made pursuant to this subdivision may be made orally or in writing. A legislative body shall provide to any person who has submitted a written request to the legislative body within 24 hours of the posting of the agenda, or to any person who has made a standing request for all documentation as part of a request for notice of meetings pursuant to Section 89306.5, if the requester is present at the time the closed session ends, copies of any contracts, settlement agreements, or other documents that were finally approved or adopted in the closed session. If the action taken results in one or more substantive amendments to the related documents requiring retyping, the documents need not be released until the retyping is completed during normal business hours, provided that the presiding officer of the legislative body, or the presiding officer’s designee, orally summarizes the substance of the amendments for the benefit of the document requester or any other person present and requesting the information.

(3) The documentation referred to in paragraph (2) shall be available to any person on the next business day following the meeting in which the action referred to is taken or, in the case of substantial amendments, when any necessary retyping is complete.

However, prior to the closed session, the legislative body shall hold an open and public session in which it identifies its designated representatives.

(2) (A) Closed sessions of a legislative body, as permitted in this subdivision, shall be for the purpose of reviewing its position and instructing the designated representative of the student body organization.

(D) Closed sessions held pursuant to this subdivision shall not include final action on the proposed compensation of one or more unrepresented employees.

(E) For the purposes enumerated in this subdivision, a legislative body may also meet with a state conciliator who has intervened in the proceedings.

(3) For the purposes of this subdivision, the term “employee” includes an officer or an independent contractor who functions as an officer or an employee of the student body organization, but shall not include any elected official, member of a legislative body, or other independent contractors.

(f) (1) Prior to holding any closed session, the legislative body shall disclose, in an open meeting, the item or items to be discussed in the closed session. The disclosure may take the form of a reference to the item or items as they are listed by number or letter on the agenda. In the closed session, the legislative body may consider only those matters covered in its statement. Nothing in this subdivision shall require or authorize a disclosure of information prohibited by state or federal law.

(2) After any closed session, the legislative body shall reconvene into open session prior to adjournment, and shall make any disclosures required by subdivision (d) of action taken in the closed session.

(3) The disclosure required to be made in open session pursuant to this subdivision may be made at the location announced in the agenda for the closed session, as long as the public is allowed to be present at that location for the purpose of hearing the announcements.

(b) (1) In unusual circumstances, the time limit prescribed in this section may be extended by a written notice by the head of the UC campus foundation, or his or her designee, to the person making the request that sets forth the reasons for the extension and the date on which a determination is expected to be sent. That notice shall not specify a date that would result in an extension of more than 14 days. When the UC campus foundation sends the determination, and if the UC campus foundation determines that the request seeks disclosable public records, the UC campus foundation shall state the estimated date and time when the records will be made available.

(2) As used in this section, “unusual circumstances” means the following, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to the proper processing of the particular request:

(A) The need to search for and collect the requested records from field facilities or other establishments that are separate from the office processing the request.

(B) The need to search for, collect, and appropriately examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records that are demanded in a single request.

(C) The need for consultation, which shall be conducted with all practicable speed, with another agency having a substantial interest in the determination of the request or among two or more components of the agency having a substantial subject matter interest therein.

(D) The need to compile data, to write programming language or a computer program, or to construct a computer report to extract data.

(c) A UC campus foundation shall justify withholding disclosure of a record by demonstrating that the record is exempt from disclosure by law, or that, on the facts of the particular request, the public interest served by not disclosing the record clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.

(d) A response to a written request for inspection or copies of public records that includes a determination that the request is denied, in whole or in part, shall be in writing and shall not set forth the names and titles or positions of each person responsible for the denial.

(a) To select a fair and impartial jury in a criminal jury trial, the trial judge shall conduct an initial examination of prospective jurors. At the first practical opportunity prior to voir dire, the trial judge shall consider the form and subject matter of voir dire questions. Before voir dire by the trial judge, the parties may submit questions to the trial judge. The trial judge may include additional questions requested by the parties as the trial judge deems proper.

(b) (1) Upon completion of the trial judge’s initial examination, counsel for each party shall have the right to examine, by oral and direct questioning, any of the prospective jurors. The scope of the examination conducted by counsel shall be within reasonable limits prescribed by the trial judge in the judge’s sound discretion subject to the provisions of this chapter. During any examination conducted by counsel for the parties, the trial judge shall permit liberal and probing examination calculated to discover bias or prejudice with regard to the circumstances of the particular case or the parties before the court. The fact that a topic has been included in the trial judge’s examination shall not preclude appropriate followup questioning in the same area by counsel. The trial judge should permit counsel to conduct voir dire examination without requiring prior submission of the questions unless a particular counsel engages in improper questioning.

(2) The trial judge shall not impose specific unreasonable or arbitrary time limits or establish an inflexible time limit policy for voir dire. As voir dire proceeds, the trial judge shall permit supplemental time for questioning based on individual responses or conduct of jurors that may evince attitudes inconsistent with suitability to serve as a fair and impartial juror in the particular case.

(3) For purposes of this section, an “improper question” is any question that, as its dominant purpose, attempts to precondition the prospective jurors to a particular result or indoctrinate the jury.

(c) In exercising the judge’s sound discretion, the trial judge shall consider all of the following:

(1) The amount of time requested by trial counsel.

(2) Any unique or complex legal or factual elements in the case.

(3) The length of the trial.

(4) The number of parties.

(5) The number of witnesses.

(d) Voir dire of any prospective jurors shall, where practicable, take place in the presence of the other jurors in all criminal cases, including death penalty cases. Examination of prospective jurors shall be conducted only in aid of the exercise of challenges for cause.

(e) The trial judge shall, in his or her sound discretion, consider reasonable written questionnaires when requested by counsel. If a questionnaire is utilized, the parties shall be given reasonable time to evaluate the responses to the questionnaires before oral questioning commences.

(f) To help facilitate the jury selection process, at the earliest practical time, the trial judge in a criminal trial shall provide the parties with the list of prospective jurors in the order in which they will be called.

(g) The trial judge’s exercise of discretion in the manner in which voir dire is conducted, including any limitation on the time that will be allowed for direct questioning of prospective jurors by counsel and any determination that a question is not in aid of the exercise of challenges for cause, is not cause for a conviction to be reversed, unless the exercise of that discretion results in a miscarriage of justice, as specified in Section 13 of Article VI of the California Constitution.

(a) “2011 Realignment Legislation” means legislation enacted on or before September 30, 2012, to implement the state budget plan, that is entitled 2011 Realignment and provides for the assignment to local agencies of responsibilities for Public Safety Services, including related reporting responsibilities. The 2011 Realignment Legislation shall provide local agencies with maximum flexibility and control over the design, administration, and delivery of those services consistent with federal law and funding requirements, as determined by the Legislature. However, the 2011 Realignment Legislation shall include no new programs assigned to local agencies after January 1, 2012, except for the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) program and mental health managed care, which may also be referred to as specialty mental health care services.

(b) Any mandate of a new program or higher level of service on a local agency imposed by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, or by any regulation adopted or any executive order or administrative directive issued to implement that legislation, shall, if it constitutes a mandate requiring the state to provide a subvention of funds within the meaning of the California Constitution, be paid from the moneys provided for that activity.

(1) A reimbursable mandate for any program or increased level of service initially created by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, as defined in subdivision (a), that may be funded from the Protective Services Subaccount or the Behavioral Health Subaccount or funding received from the Protective Services Growth Special Account or the Behavioral Health Services Growth Special Account shall be paid from the applicable subaccount, and no other funding shall be required unless the total amount received into the subaccount of any county, including optional reallocation pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (f) of Section 30025, is insufficient to provide funding for any or all mandates funded from that subaccount.

(2) A reimbursable mandate for any program or service that may be funded from any of the subaccounts in the Law Enforcement Services Account or funding received from the Law Enforcement Services Growth Subaccount shall be paid from the applicable subaccount, and no other funding shall be required unless the total amount received into the subaccount of any county or city and county is insufficient to provide funding for that mandate.

(c) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) or any other provision of law, legislation enacted after September 30, 2012, that has an overall effect of increasing the costs already borne by a local agency for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation shall apply to local agencies only to the extent that the state provides annual funding for the cost increase. Local agencies shall not be obligated to provide programs or levels of service required by legislation described in this paragraph above the level for which funding has been provided.

(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) or any other provision of law, regulations, executive orders, or administrative directives, implemented after October 9, 2011, that are not necessary to implement the 2011 Realignment Legislation and that have an overall effect of increasing the costs already borne by a local agency for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, shall apply to local agencies only to the extent that the state provides annual funding for the cost increase. Local agencies shall not be obligated to provide programs or levels of service pursuant to new regulations, executive orders, or administrative directives described in this paragraph above the level for which funding has been provided.

(3) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) or any other provision of law, any new program or higher level of service provided by local agencies, as described in paragraphs (1) and (2), above the level for which funding has been provided, shall not require a subvention of funds by the state as those costs incurred at the local level shall be optional.

(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) or any other provision of law, the state shall not submit to the federal government any plans or waivers, or amendments to those plans or waivers, that have an overall effect of increasing the cost borne by a local agency for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, except to the extent that the plans, waivers, or amendments are required by federal law, or the state provides annual funding for the cost increase.

(e) (1) Notwithstanding subdivisions (b), (c), and (d) or any other provision of law, the state shall not be required to provide a subvention of funds pursuant to this section for a mandate that is imposed by the state at the request of a local agency or to comply with federal law. Any state funds provided pursuant to subdivision (c) or (d) or this subdivision shall be from funding sources other than those described in subdivision (a) of Section 30025, ad valorem property taxes, or the Social Services Subaccount of the Sales Tax Account of the Local Revenue Fund.

(2) For programs described in paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subdivision (i) of Section 30025 and included in the 2011 Realignment Legislation, if there are subsequent changes in federal statutes or regulations that alter the conditions under which federal matching funds as described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation are obtained, and those changes have the overall effect of increasing the costs incurred by a local agency, the state shall annually provide at least 50 percent of the nonfederal share of those costs as determined by the state.

(3) When the state is a party to any complaint brought in a federal judicial or administrative proceeding that involves one or more of the programs described in paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subdivision (i) of Section 30025 and included in the 2011 Realignment Legislation, and there is a settlement or judicial or administrative order that imposes a cost in the form of a monetary penalty or has the overall effect of increasing the costs already borne by a local agency for programs or levels of service mandated by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, the state shall annually provide at least 50 percent of the nonfederal share of those costs as determined by the state. Payment is not required if the state determines that the settlement or order relates to one or more local agencies failing to perform a ministerial duty, failing to perform a legal obligation in good faith, or acting in a negligent or reckless manner.

(4) If the state or a local agency fails to perform a duty or obligation under this section or under the 2011 Realignment Legislation, an appropriate party may seek judicial relief. These proceedings shall have priority over all other civil matters.

(5) The funds deposited into a County Local Revenue Fund 2011 shall be spent in a manner designed to maintain the state’s eligibility for federal matching funds and to ensure compliance by the state with applicable federal standards governing the state’s provision of Public Safety Services.

(6) The funds deposited into a County Local Revenue Fund 2011 shall not be used by local agencies to supplant other funding for Public Safety Services.

(f) Any decision of a county or a city and county to eliminate or significantly reduce the levels or types of optional or discretionary behavioral health services, adult protective services, or child welfare services pursuant to Sections 11403.1 and 11403.2 of, Chapter 2.3 (commencing with Section 16135) of Part 4 of Division 9 of, Sections 16508.2 and 16508.3 of, Article 4 (commencing with Section 16522) of Chapter 5 of Part 4 of Division 9 of, Article 2 (commencing with Section 16525.10) of Chapter 5.3 of Part 4 of Division 9 of, and Section 16605 of, the Welfare and Institutions Code and Section 10609.3 of the Welfare and Institutions Code that the county or city and county is or has previously funded, in whole or in part, from allocations received from the Support Services Account of the Local Revenue Fund 2011 may, as a condition of the county or city and county receiving funding, only be made in open session, as an action item, at a duly noticed meeting of the board of supervisors. For the purpose of this subdivision, “significant reduction” shall include a 10-percent reduction in funding in any one year or a cumulative 25-percent reduction over the previous three years.

(g) (1) Federal funding has been, and continues to be, provided for Public Safety Services described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation that are funded from the subaccounts within the Health and Human Services Account and its successor, the Support Services Account. Starting in the 2012–13 fiscal year, the state provided an additional source of funding for Specialty Mental Health Services, as described in clause (v) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (16) of subdivision (f) of Section 30025, from the Local Revenue Fund 2011 in addition to providing funding to local government for mental health services from the Local Revenue Fund and the Behavioral Health Services Fund. Starting in the 2011–12 fiscal year, the state provided funding for other Public Safety Services from the Local Revenue Fund and the Local Revenue Fund 2011.

(2) Except as required by subdivisions (c) to (e), inclusive, the state shall not have a share of cost for the Public Safety Services described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation funded from the Local Revenue Fund or the subaccounts within the Health and Human Services Account or its successor, the Support Services Account, in the Local Revenue Fund 2011. Funds for the increased county share of cost shall be provided through the subaccounts in the Health and Human Services Account, and from successors to those subaccounts. Before local entities may spend funds from these subaccounts for any other purpose, these funds shall first be expended for activities and providing services that preserve federal funding and to pay for any state-mandated costs for increased costs, duties, or levels of service as the programs are described in statute enacted on or before September 30, 2012, or regulations, executive orders, or administrative directives implemented prior to October 9, 2011, or those regulations that are not necessary to implement the 2011 Realignment Legislation, or State Plan, or any amendments in effect on June 30, 2012. This funding is specifically intended to be in an amount sufficient to fund the cost of the state mandates.

(3) Prior to a county electing to use any of its own funds to pay for an increased cost, duty, or level of service above that required by the 2011 Realignment Legislation, or that is optional under the 2011 Realignment Legislation, the county shall first exhaust the funding available to it from the Local Revenue Fund established pursuant to Section 17600 of the Welfare and Institutions Code and the Local Revenue Fund 2011 for state-mandated costs, duties, and levels of service.

(h) (1) Federal funding has been, and continues to be, provided for Public Safety Services described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation that are funded from the subaccounts within the Health and Human Services Account and its successor, the Support Services Account. Starting in the 2012–13 fiscal year, the state provided an additional source of funding for Specialty Mental Health Services, as described in clause (v) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (16) of subdivision (f) of Section 30025, from the Local Revenue Fund 2011 in addition to providing funding to local government for mental health services from the Local Revenue Fund and the Behavioral Health Services Fund. Starting in the 2011–12 fiscal year, the state provided funding for other Public Safety Services from the Local Revenue Fund and the Local Revenue Fund 2011.

(2) Except as required by subdivisions (c) to (e), inclusive, the state shall not have a share of cost for the health and human services programs described in the 2011 Realignment Legislation funded from the Local Revenue Fund established pursuant to Section 17600 of the Welfare and Institutions Code or the subaccounts within the Health and Human Services Account, or its successor, the Support Services Account, in the Local Revenue Fund 2011. Funds for the increased county share of cost shall be provided through the subaccounts of the Health and Human Services Account and its successors within the Support Services Account.

(3) This subdivision shall become operative on November 7, 2012, if a constitutional amendment adding Section 36 to Article XIII of the California Constitution is approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election.

(i) (1) Every month, the Controller shall post on the Controller’s internet website the amount received by the Local Revenue Fund 2011 from revenues raised by Sections 6051.15, 6201.15, 11001.5, and 11005 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Additionally, every month, the Controller shall post the amounts allocated to every account, subaccount, and special account in the Local Revenue Fund 2011.

(2) Annually, the Controller shall post on the Controller’s internet website the amounts allocated to each account, subaccount, and special account, and provide detailed information as to the source of that funding. The Controller shall also post the highest amount ever allocated to the Behavioral Health Subaccount, the Protective Services Subaccount, the Trial Court Security Subaccount, and the Juvenile Justice Subaccount, and, after the 2014–15 fiscal year, the highest amount ever allocated to the Community Corrections Subaccount, and the District Attorney and Public Defender Subaccount. In every fiscal year in which funding is not at the highest level for subaccounts specifically named in this paragraph, the Controller shall note how much growth funding may need to be provided as restoration funding in a future fiscal year to achieve that level.

(3) Annually, the Controller shall post on the Controller’s internet website the amount each county received pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a), paragraph (2) of subdivision (b), and paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of Section 30027.9 for each of the county’s or city and county’s subaccounts.

(j) The enactment of the 2011 Realignment Legislation is not intended to, nor does it in any way, affect rights provided by federal entitlement programs. Nothing in the 2011 Realignment Legislation places any additional restrictions on eligibility, coverage, or access to services and care for any federal or state entitlement program.

(k) Counties, cities, and city and counties shall fund Medi-Cal Specialty Mental Health Services, including Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT), from moneys received from the Behavioral Health Subaccount and the Behavioral Health Growth Special Account, both created pursuant to Section 30025, the Mental Health Subaccount created pursuant to Section 17600 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, the Mental Health Account created pursuant to Section 17600.10 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, and to the extent permissible under the Mental Health Services Act, the Behavioral Health Services Fund created pursuant to Section 19602.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Because this is a federal entitlement program, the provision of services shall be based on statute, regulation, the managed care waiver provisions of Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1396n), or the State Plan or its amendment or amendments.

(l) Subdivisions (a), (b), and (g) shall become inoperative on November 7, 2012, if a constitutional amendment adding Section 36 to Article XIII of the California Constitution is approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide general election.

(a) (1) In June 1999, the University of California and its institutes’ partners shall commence instruction for 6,000 participants who either provide direct instruction in reading to pupils in kindergarten or in grade 1, 2, or 3, or who supervise beginning teachers of reading. Commencing in July 2000, the institutes shall provide instruction for an additional 14,000 participants who either provide direct instruction in reading to pupils, including special education pupils, in prekindergarten, kindergarten or in grade 1, 2, or 3, or supervise beginning teachers of reading. Of the 14,000 new positions, at least 2,000 shall be reserved for prekindergarten teachers who teach in state preschool programs located in the attendance area of high-priority schools in order to link prekindergarten literacy development and reading readiness to the state’s reading goals for pupils enrolled in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive. If there are not enough applicants to fill the 2,000 positions, the remaining positions may be filled by teachers of pupils enrolled in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 3, inclusive.

(2) Ongoing support for second-year participants shall include a second-year institute focusing on the use of instructional materials, leveraging of school district resources, and the development of teacher leadership within the school district to improve pupil achievement in reading.

(b) (1) The institutes shall provide instruction for school teams from each participating school. These school teams may include both beginning and experienced teachers and the schoolsite administrator, with the majority of the team composed of beginning teachers.

(2) Criteria and priority for selection of participating school teams shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, all of the following:

(A) Schools whose pupils’ reading scores are at or below the 40th percentile on the reading portion of the achievement test authorized by Section 60640.

(3) In any fiscal year, if funding is inadequate to accommodate the participation of all eligible school teams, first priority shall be given to schools meeting the criteria set forth in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2).

(c) (1) The institutes shall provide instruction in the teaching of reading in a manner consistent with the standard for a comprehensive reading instruction program that is research-based, as described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 44259, and shall include all of the following components:

(A) The study of organized, systematic, explicit skills including phonemic awareness, direct, systematic explicit phonics, and decoding skills.

(B) A strong literature, language and comprehension component with a balance of oral and written language.

(C) Ongoing diagnostic techniques that inform teaching and assessment.

It is the intent of the Legislature that stipends paid to participants under this paragraph average approximately one thousand dollars ($1,000) per stipend recipient per year.

(e) In order to provide maximum access, the institutes shall be offered through multiple university and college campuses that are widely distributed throughout the state or in a regionally accredited program offered through instructor-led, interactive online courses. In order to maximize access to teachers and administrators who may be precluded from participating in an onsite institute due to geographical, physical, or time constraints, each institute shall be required to accommodate at least 5 percent of the participants through state-approved instructor-led, interactive online courses. Instruction at the institutes shall consist of an intensive, sustained training period of no less than 40 hours nor more than 120 hours during the summer or during an intersession break or an equivalent instructor-led, online course, and shall be supplemented, during the following school year, with no fewer than 80 additional hours nor more than 120 additional hours of instruction and schoolsite meetings, held on at least a monthly basis, to focus on the academic progress of that school’s pupils in reading.

(f) It is the intent of the Legislature that a local education agency or postsecondary institution that offers an accredited program of professional preparation consider providing partial and proportional credit toward satisfaction of reading course requirements to an enrolled candidate who satisfactorily completes a California Reading Professional Development Institute program if the institute has been certified by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing as meeting reading preparation standards.
