Section 701
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) California farm sales, which are of vital importance to California agriculture and the state’s economy, have been adversely affected by increasing foreign imports and a loss of export markets as a result of numerous factors including, in some cases, unfair trade practices of foreign governments and foreign business enterprises.

(b) Under the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. Sec. 2101 et seq.), an interested party may file a petition with the United States Trade Representative to negotiate for a remedy when any act, policy, or practice of a foreign government is inconsistent with international trade agreements, or otherwise unreasonable, unjustifiable, or discriminatory and is a burden or is restrictive to United States commerce, or if a foreign government fails to grant United States rights under a trade agreement.

(c) Agricultural parties at interest under the act are encountering difficulties in obtaining these remedies. They are encountering a lengthy, costly, political process which requires extensive factfinding to show significant interest and substantial damage.

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

(1) As a result of federal welfare reform, unprecedented numbers of welfare recipients will be leaving welfare for work, and will face time limits on the receipt of aid.

(3) California’s transitional Medi-Cal program is intended to encourage welfare recipients to seek employment and to ensure continuity of health coverage, but various procedural restrictions limit its effectiveness in achieving those goals.

(b) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature to streamline the transitional Medi-Cal program in order to maximize its effectiveness in assisting persons leaving welfare for work.
