(1) The county superintendent of schools may, after consultation with the school district governing board and the auditors under contract to the district, and with the consent of the Controller’s office and the Superintendent, grant an appropriate extension for the completion of the audit and the filing of the audited financial statements. An extension does not waive the legal deadline, but permits the filing of the report after the deadline. An extension shall be appropriate if the extension adheres to all of the following requirements:

(A) An extension shall be the shortest amount of time reasonable given the extenuating circumstances justifying the extension.

(B) Extensions shall be in increments of no longer than 45 calendar days.

(C) Extensions shall not exceed a total of 90 calendar days from the due date established pursuant to Section 41020.

(2) The county superintendent of schools may, after consultation with the school district governing board, the auditors under contract to the district, and the Controller’s office, contract with another qualified certified public accountant or public accountant to obtain the required audited financial statements and charge the cost of the audit to the funds of the district. The county superintendent of schools shall, to the extent feasible, assist the district in initiating action to avoid payment to the auditors under contract who did not complete the original audit.

(3) The county superintendent of schools may request the Controller’s office to investigate the situation and initiate action as provided in subdivision (b).

The Controller’s office may do any of the following:

(1) Accept the action of the county superintendent of schools permitted by subdivision (a).

(2) Conduct the audit and prepare the auditor’s report, utilizing the staff available within that office and charge the cost of the audit to the next regular apportionment from the State School Fund to the district or county superintendent of schools.

(3) Contract with any qualified certified public accountant or public accountant, utilizing the appropriate contracting procedures, for the conduct of the audit and preparation of the audited financial statements and charge the cost of the audit to the next regular apportionment from the State School Fund to the district or county superintendent of schools.

(4) Grant a reasonable extension of the time for filing the report if, in the judgment of the Controller’s office, this will provide the required audited financial statements within the shortest time period. The extension of the time for filing does not waive the legal deadline, but permits the filing of the report after the deadline.

The Controller’s office shall consult with the district governing board, the county superintendent of schools, and the auditors under contract to the district or county superintendent of schools before making the determination of the method to be used in obtaining the audited financial statements. The Controller’s office shall, to the extent feasible, assist the district or county superintendent in initiating action to avoid payment to the auditors under contract who did not complete the original audit.

(c) Notwithstanding any extension granted under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) or paragraph (4) of subdivision (b), the Controller’s office may determine at any time after the due date for filing of audit reports established by Section 41020 that the audited financial statements not yet filed with that office are delinquent and that the audit will be performed under paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b).

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

(1) There is a compelling public interest in ensuring that all federal, state, local, and private funds available for the state highway program are captured and used in a timely manner.

(2) In order to maximize the use of federal, state, local, and private funds and to maintain a competitive posture in seeking supplemental federal funds, California must have a highway construction plan in place.

(3) Changes in federal, state, and local revenues and the growing private participation in state highway construction can result in significant fluctuations in workload relating to project study reports, project development, surveying, and construction inspection. To maintain a more stable workforce in the department and avoid the costly process of short-time hiring and layoff while still responding in a timely manner to funding opportunities and uncertainties, additional flexibility through outside contracting and cooperative agreements with local public agencies is needed to supplement the department’s program staff.

(b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature that the department contract for the services of engineers, architects, surveyors, planners, environmental specialists, and materials testing specialists, in order to provide professional and technical project development services to the department whenever the department is inadequately staffed to satisfactorily carry out its program of project study reports, project development, surveying, and construction inspection in a timely and effective manner. It is the further intent of the Legislature to permit, through cooperative agreements with the department, local public agencies to undertake that program of activities on state highway projects for which they are a funding source.

(c) This section shall become operative on January 1, 1998.

(b) Upon retirement for service prior to attaining 56 years of age, the percentage of final compensation payable for each year of credited service that is subject to this section shall be the product of 2 percent multiplied by the factor set forth in the following table for the actual age at retirement:

(e) The Legislature reserves, with respect to any member subject to this section, the right to provide for the adjustment of industrial disability retirement allowances because of earnings of a retired person and modification of the conditions and qualifications required for retirement for disability as it may find appropriate because of the earlier age of service retirement made possible by the benefits under this section.

(f) The percentage of final compensation provided in this section shall be reduced by one-third as applied to that part of the member’s final compensation that does not exceed four hundred dollars ($400) per month for service after the effective date of coverage of a member under the federal system.

For members who retire on or after January 1, 2000, the allowance shall not exceed 85 percent of final compensation. If the pension relates to service for more than one employer and would otherwise exceed the maximum, the pension payable with respect to each employer shall be reduced in the same proportion as the allowance based on service to the employer bears to the total allowance computed as though there were no limit, so that the total of the pensions shall equal the maximum.

However, this section shall not apply to any local safety member in the employ of an employer not subject to this section on January 1, 2000.

The activities may also be conducted by and for the University of California.

This program shall be self supporting from recovered funds.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that early education programs for infants identified as individuals with exceptional needs that provide educational services with active parent involvement, can significantly reduce the potential impact of many disabling conditions, and positively influence later development when the child reaches schoolage.

Early education programs funded pursuant to Sections 56427, 56428, and 56432 shall provide a continuum of program options provided by a transdisciplinary team to meet the multiple and varied needs of infants and their families. Recognizing the parent as the infant’s primary teacher, it is the Legislature’s intent that early education programs shall include opportunities for the family to receive home visits and to participate in family involvement activities pursuant to Sections 56426.1 and 56426.4. It is the intent of the Legislature that, as an infant grows older, program emphasis would shift from home-based services to a combination of home-based and group services.

It is further the intent of the Legislature that services rendered by state and local agencies serving infants with exceptional needs and their families be coordinated and maximized.

This section shall become operative on July 1, 1998.
