It is the sole intent of the Legislature, in enacting this part, to fully comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that apply to public retirement systems in order to maintain and ensure the federal income tax exempt status of the Public Employees’ Retirement System, to elect the “grandfather” option in Section 415(b)(10) of Title 26 of the United States Code, and to provide, to the extent deemed reasonable, commensurate replacement benefits to affected members of this system and of other participating agencies that elect to contract with this system for the administration of a replacement benefits plan.

The Legislature finds and declares that all costs of local public agencies and local public retirement systems of complying with Section 415 of Title 26 of the United States Code are a federal mandate within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution and Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2, as construed in City of Sacramento v. State of California (50 Cal. 3d 51).

It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this part, to not impose upon local public agencies that are contracting agencies with this system or upon other local public agencies that elect to contract with this system for the administration of a replacement benefits plan, state-reimbursable, state-mandated local program benefit costs within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution and Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of this title.

If either the Commission on State Mandates or a court determines that this part imposes upon any local agency state-mandated local program benefit costs, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no reimbursement therefor shall be made from the State Mandates Claims Fund pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of this title or from any other state fund.

Section 8290.7
Status: in_force

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

(1) The terms “dependent adult” and “dependent person” are misleading because many of the people with disabilities that those terms cover live independently. These terms can mislead law enforcement officers, social workers, and even crime victims and their families to think that many people with disabilities are excluded from the law’s protections.

(2) The term “dependent” demeans and insults people with disabilities who may need special support and services, but may also have the desire and ability to live independently.

(3) It is a priority of this state to ensure that the language used to draft California laws, including the drafting guidelines for legislation, appropriately recognizes and represents people with disabilities.

(b) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this act that the terms “dependent adult” and “dependent person” be replaced in code with updated terminology that describes these adults in a respectful way; and that the change in terminology is undertaken in a consistent and comprehensive manner that does not substantively alter existing law.

(c) (1) The commission shall, with input from stakeholders, including, but not limited to, the state protection and advocacy agency designated pursuant to Division 4.7 (commencing with Section 4900) of the Welfare and Institutions Code, complete and submit to the Legislature a study on how to remove the terms “dependent adult” and “dependent person” from California code sections, including, but not limited to, code sections that use the term “dependent” in conjunction with the term “elder” to describe the physical or financial abuse of persons who are elders or persons with a disability, including, but not limited to, the Penal Code, Welfare and Institutions Code, and Civil Code.

(2) As part of the study, the commission shall convene a working group that includes, but is not limited to, all of the following:

(A) The state protection and advocacy agency.

(B) The State Department of Social Services.

(C) Groups representing persons who are described by the current definitions of “dependent adults” and “dependent persons.”

(D) Persons who are described by the current definitions of “dependent adults” or “dependent persons.”

(3) The study shall identify all existing California code sections regarding persons who meet the definition of “dependent adult” and “dependent person” that should be amended in accordance with this subdivision.

(4) The study shall include recommendations on how to revise existing California code sections in order to remove “dependent adult” and “dependent person” and replace those terms with new terminology in a manner that would describe these adults in a respectful way and that would preserve the legal rights and protections of both of the following groups of persons in a comprehensive and consistent manner:

(A) Persons who meet the definition of “dependent adult” and “dependent person” as currently recognized in statute, regulation, and case law.

(B) Persons who do not meet the definition of “dependent adult” and “dependent person” but are described in conjunction with such persons, including elders who are protected by laws governing “elder and dependent adult abuse.”

(d) (1) The requirement for submitting the study imposed under subdivision (c) is inoperative on January 1, 2029, pursuant to Section 10231.5 of the Government Code.

(2) The study to be submitted pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be submitted in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code.

(a) When a school district or county superintendent of schools wishes to employ a retirant who is retired for service, and such person has not been previously employed as a retirant, such district or county superintendent shall require, as a condition of initial employment as a retirant, a medical certificate in such form as shall be prescribed by the state board showing that the retirant is free from any disabling disease unfitting him or her to instruct or associate with children. The medical certificate shall be completed and submitted directly to the school district or county superintendent by a physician and surgeon licensed under the Business and Professions Code, a physician assistant practicing in compliance with Chapter 7.7 (commencing with Section 3500) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse acting pursuant to standardized procedures and protocols in compliance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 2700) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, or a commissioned medical officer exempted from licensure pursuant to federal law.

Such examination shall be conducted not more than six months before the completion and submission of the certificate and shall be at the expense of the retirant. Notwithstanding Section 44031, the medical certificate shall become a part of the personnel record of the employee and shall be open to the employee or his or her designee.

(b) The school district or county superintendent of schools which initially employed the retirant, or any school district or county superintendent which subsequently employs the retirant, may require a periodic medical examination by a physician and surgeon licensed under the Business and Professions Code, a physician assistant practicing in compliance with Chapter 7.7 (commencing with Section 3500) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, a licensed advanced practice registered nurse acting pursuant to standardized procedures and protocols in compliance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 2700) of Division 2 of the Business and Professions Code, or a commissioned medical officer exempted from licensure pursuant to federal law, to determine that the retirant is free from any communicable disease unfitting him or her to instruct or associate with children.

The Legislature finds and declares that local agencies may be unable to sell short-term notes to financial institutions at the end of the 1977–78 fiscal year and the beginning of the 1978–79 fiscal year due to the lack of certainty in their ability to raise revenue to repay such short-term notes. Therefore, another source of short-term financing is necessary to ensure the orderly delivery of basic programs and services during the beginning of the fiscal year. In order to meet this need, the state, in this article, hereby establishes a Local Agency Emergency Loan Fund to serve as the lender of last resort.

The purpose of this article is to establish standards for the use of personal services contracts.

(a) Personal services contracting is permissible to achieve cost savings when all the following conditions are met:

(1) The contracting agency clearly demonstrates that the proposed contract will result in actual overall cost savings to the state, provided that:

(A) In comparing costs, there shall be included the state’s additional cost of providing the same service as proposed by a contractor. These additional costs shall include the salaries and benefits of additional staff that would be needed and the cost of additional space, equipment, and materials needed to perform the function.

(B) In comparing costs, there shall not be included the state’s indirect overhead costs unless these costs can be attributed solely to the function in question and would not exist if that function was not performed in state service. Indirect overhead costs shall mean the pro rata share of existing administrative salaries and benefits, rent, equipment costs, utilities, and materials.

(C) In comparing costs, there shall be included in the cost of a contractor providing a service any continuing state costs that would be directly associated with the contracted function. These continuing state costs shall include, but not be limited to, those for inspection, supervision, and monitoring.

(2) Proposals to contract out work shall not be approved solely on the basis that savings will result from lower contractor pay rates or benefits. Proposals to contract out work shall be eligible for approval if the contractor’s wages are at the industry’s level and do not significantly undercut state pay rates.

(3) The contract does not cause the displacement of civil service employees. The term “displacement” includes layoff, demotion, involuntary transfer to a new class, involuntary transfer to a new location requiring a change of residence, and time base reductions. Displacement does not include changes in shifts or days off, nor does it include reassignment to other positions within the same class and general location.

(4) The contract does not adversely affect the state’s affirmative action efforts.

(5) The savings shall be large enough to ensure that they will not be eliminated by private sector and state cost fluctuations that could normally be expected during the contracting period.

(6) The amount of savings clearly justify the size and duration of the contracting agreement.

(7) The contract is awarded through a publicized, competitive bidding process.

(8) The contract includes specific provisions pertaining to the qualifications of the staff that will perform the work under the contract, as well as assurance that the contractor’s hiring practices meet applicable nondiscrimination, affirmative action standards.

(9) The potential for future economic risk to the state from potential contractor rate increases is minimal.

(10) The contract is with a firm. A “firm” means a corporation, partnership, nonprofit organization, or sole proprietorship.

(11) The potential economic advantage of contracting is not outweighed by the public’s interest in having a particular function performed directly by state government.

(b) Personal services contracting also shall be permissible when any of the following conditions are met:

(1) The functions contracted are exempted from civil service by Section 4 of Article VII of the California Constitution, which describes exempt appointments.

(2) The contract is for a new state function and the Legislature has specifically mandated or authorized the performance of the work by independent contractors.

(3) The services contracted are not available within civil service, cannot be performed satisfactorily by civil service employees, or are of such a highly specialized or technical nature that the necessary expert knowledge, experience, and ability are not available through the civil service system.

(4) The services are incidental to a contract for the purchase or lease of real or personal property. Contracts under this criterion, known as “service agreements,” shall include, but not be limited to, agreements to service or maintain office equipment or computers that are leased or rented.

(5) The legislative, administrative, or legal goals and purposes cannot be accomplished through the utilization of persons selected pursuant to the regular civil service system. Contracts are permissible under this criterion to protect against a conflict of interest or to ensure independent and unbiased findings in cases where there is a clear need for a different, outside perspective. These contracts shall include, but not be limited to, obtaining expert witnesses in litigation.

(6) The nature of the work is such that the standards of this code for emergency appointments apply. These contracts shall conform with Article 8 (commencing with Section 19888) of Chapter 2.5 of Part 2.6.

(7) State agencies need private counsel because a conflict of interest on the part of the Attorney General’s office prevents it from representing the agency without compromising its position. These contracts shall require the written consent of the Attorney General, pursuant to Section 11040.

(8) The contractor will provide equipment, materials, facilities, or support services that could not feasibly be provided by the state in the location where the services are to be performed.

(9) The contractor will conduct training courses for which appropriately qualified civil service instructors are not available, provided that permanent instructor positions in academies or similar settings shall be filled through civil service appointment.

(10) The services are of such an urgent, temporary, or occasional nature that the delay incumbent in their implementation under civil service would frustrate their very purpose.

(c) All persons who provide services to the state under conditions the board determines constitute an employment relationship shall, unless exempted from civil service by Section 4 of Article VII of the California Constitution, be retained under an appropriate civil service appointment.
