(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 832.7, or any other law, any record relating to an investigation conducted by the local detention facility involving a death incident maintained by a local detention facility shall not be confidential and shall be made available for public inspection pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1 of the Government Code).

(c) Records disclosed under subdivision (b) shall be subject to all of the following:

(1) The record shall include all investigative reports; photographic, audio, and video evidence; transcripts or recordings of interviews; autopsy reports; all materials compiled and presented for review to the district attorney or to any person or body charged with determining whether to file criminal charges against a person, whether the person’s action was consistent with law and agency policy for purposes of discipline or administrative action, or what discipline to impose or corrective action to take; documents setting forth findings or recommended findings; and copies of disciplinary records relating to the death incident, including any letters of intent to impose discipline, any documents reflecting modifications of discipline due to the Skelly or grievance process, and letters indicating final imposition of discipline or other documentation reflecting implementation of corrective action.

(2) An agency shall redact a record disclosed pursuant to this section only for any of the following purposes:

(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), an agency may redact a record disclosed pursuant to this section, including personal identifying information, where, on the facts of the particular case, the public interest served by not disclosing the information clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the information.

(4) A local detention facility may withhold a record of a death incident described in subdivision (b) that is the subject of an active criminal or administrative investigation, in accordance with any of the following:

(A) (i) During an active criminal investigation, disclosure may be delayed for up to 60 days from the date the death incident occurred or until the district attorney determines whether to file criminal charges related to the death incident, whichever occurs sooner.

This writing shall include the estimated date for disclosure of the withheld information.

(ii) After 60 days from the death incident, the local detention facility may continue to delay the disclosure of records or information if the disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with a criminal enforcement proceeding against any person.

This clause does not prohibit a court from conducting in camera review to determine whether privilege exists.

(B) If criminal charges are filed related to the death incident, the local detention facility may delay the disclosure of records or information until a verdict on those charges is returned at trial or, if a plea of guilty or no contest is entered, the time to withdraw the plea pursuant to Section 1018.

(C) During an administrative investigation into an incident described in subdivision (b), the local detention facility may delay the disclosure of records or information until the facility determines whether the death incident violated a law or agency policy.

(6) Except to the extent temporary withholding for a longer period is permitted pursuant to paragraph (4), records subject to disclosure under this section shall be provided at the earliest possible time and no later than 45 days from the date of a request for their disclosure.

(7) (A) For purposes of releasing records pursuant to this subdivision, the attorney-client privilege does not prohibit the disclosure of either of the following:

(ii) Billing records related to the work done by the attorney so long as the records do not relate to active and ongoing litigation and do not disclose information for the purpose of legal consultation between the local detention facility and its attorney.

(B) This paragraph does not prohibit the local detention facility from asserting that a record or information within the record is exempted or prohibited from disclosure pursuant to any other federal or state law. However, to the extent that the local detention facility asserts attorney-client privilege or any other prohibitive disclosure provided by federal or state law, the court may conduct in camera review unless prohibited by law.

(l) “Satisfactory academic progress” means those criteria required by applicable federal standards published in Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The commission may adopt regulations defining “satisfactory academic progress” in a manner that is consistent with those federal standards.

(A) Reducing intake by providing other solutions to keep animals safe and healthy in their homes, which may include spay or neuter as part of that approach, as well as vaccination, microchipping, and setting up technology and communication to help pet owners rehome their own pets instead of taking them to a shelter.

(B) Improving animal health and care in the shelter, which may include adequate housing, good ventilation, appropriate treatment and isolation facilities as well as good husbandry practices to help animals stay healthy, lower costs, and increase adoptions.

(C) Removing barriers to live outcomes, which may include technology, staffing and capacity solutions, and expanding spay or neuter capacity to keep up with outflow. This may also include systems to reunite lost pets and developing an adoption presence in the community.

(2) The program shall offer in-person assessments and in-depth online training to California city, county, or city and county animal control agencies or shelters, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and humane societies, upon request and as feasible.

All funds shall be awarded on the basis of need as determined by an open, competitive process that ensures objectivity, fairness, and sustainability. All California city, county, or city and county animal control agencies or shelters, societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, and humane societies shall have access and opportunity to voluntarily compete for the funds. The program shall do all of the following:

(A) Develop criteria, procedures, and accountability measures as may be necessary to implement the grant program.

(b) In designing and promoting the services outlined in subdivision (a), the program shall seek input from relevant stakeholders to ensure that program services and grants effectively reach a wide geography throughout the state, and that regions in northern, central, and southern California, including both urban and rural areas, are adequately considered, with an emphasis on addressing the lifesaving needs within these regions.

(c) The program may give additional consideration to working with communities that do any of the following:

(1) Seek to maximize the number of animals whose lives can be saved.

(2) Demonstrate partnerships among public, private, corporate, or nonprofit entities.

The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:

(a) Since its adoption in 1960, the Master Plan for Higher Education has served the state exceedingly well, allowing California to create the largest and most distinguished higher education system in the nation. A key component of the Master Plan is the differentiation of mission and function, whereby doctoral and identified professional programs are limited to the University of California, with the provision that the California State University can provide doctoral education in joint doctoral degree programs with the University of California and independent California colleges and universities. This differentiation of function has allowed California to provide universal access to postsecondary education while preserving quality.

(b) Because of the urgent need for well-prepared administrators to lead public school and community college reform efforts, the State of California is hereby making an exception to the differentiation of function in graduate education that assigns sole authority among the California public higher education segments to the University of California for awarding doctoral degrees independently. This exception to the Master Plan for Higher Education recognizes the urgency of meeting critical public school and community college leadership needs and the distinctive strengths and respective missions of the California State University and the University of California.

Section 92625
Status: in_force

The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(a) In the course of fulfilling its educational mission, the University of California is required to participate in the marketplace, both as a purchaser of goods and services and as a provider of services to its customers, such as students who contract with the university for room and board and medical consumers who utilize the university’s hospitals and clinics. In that role, the university also functions as a proprietor of real property and other physical assets located at its campuses and medical facilities.

(b) In the marketplace, the university must make prudent business decisions, as does any private business entity, to ensure efficient and cost-effective management of its business concerns, and to maximize benefit and minimize risk. One of those risks is the possibility of labor-management conflict arising out of labor union organizing campaigns. This conflict can adversely affect the university’s operation of facilities in which it has a proprietary business interest by causing an interruption in service.

(c) A major potential source of labor-management conflict that threatens the economic interests of the university as a participant in the marketplace is the possibility of economic action taken by labor unions against employers when labor unions seek to organize their workers over employer opposition to unionization. Experience has demonstrated that organizing drives pursuant to formal and adversarial union certification processes often deteriorate into protracted and acrimonious labor-management conflicts.

(d) One way to reduce risk where the university has a proprietary interest in the operation of its facilities is to require, as a condition of the university’s entering into a lease or service contract, that employers operating in the facility agree to a lawful, nonconfrontational alternative process for resolving a union organizing campaign. That alternative process is a so-called “cardcheck,” wherein employee preference regarding whether or not to be represented by a labor union to act as their exclusive collective bargaining representative is determined based on signed authorization cards. Private employers are authorized under existing federal law to agree voluntarily to use this procedure in lieu of election procedures under the supervision of the National Labor Relations Board.

(e) The sole purpose of this article is to protect the university’s proprietary interest in the operation of its facilities and to assume the university’s ability to procure and provide uninterrupted services in the marketplace. This article is not enacted to favor any particular outcome in the determination of employee preference regarding union representation, nor to skew the procedures in that determination to favor or hinder any party to the determination. Likewise, this article is not intended to enact or express any generally applicable policy regarding labor-management relations, or to regulate those relations in any way, but is intended only to protect the university’s proprietary interest as a participant in the marketplace.

(b) Savings achieved by counties as a result of the shift of residential placement costs for seriously emotionally disturbed youth from the State Department of Social Services to the State Department of Education pursuant to Chapter 43 of the Statutes of 2011 shall be redirected to supplement foster care, child welfare services, or adoptions program expenditures. These savings amounts, as defined in subdivision (c), shall not supplant other foster care, child welfare services, or adoptions program expenditures for the 2011–12 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter. No county shall be required to redirect funding to foster care, child welfare services, or adoptions programs, or any combination of those programs or services, in an amount greater than the amount of the offsetting savings the county achieved as a result of the shift of residential placement costs. It is the intent of the Legislature that the requirements of this section shall result in no net costs to any county.

(c) The amount of savings that each county is responsible for maintaining within the foster care, child welfare services, or adoptions programs as defined in subdivision (a) will be calculated by the State Department of Social Services, in conjunction with the Department of Finance and the County Welfare Directors Association, using the average total annual amount each county spent on the county share of residential placement costs for seriously emotionally disturbed youth pursuant to Assembly Bill 3632 (Chapter 1747 of the Statutes of 1984) in the 2007–08, 2008–09, and 2009–10 fiscal years.

(d) This act is not intended to limit or restrict savings realized by counties from other caseload decreases or other decreases in costs for the foster care, child welfare services, or adoptions programs.

(e) This section shall not be construed to create an obligation for any county that previously opted to spend greater than the amount necessary to fully match its base allocation of General Fund moneys for child welfare services and adoptions in a given fiscal year to continue such an overmatch.

Section 31484.6
Status: in_force

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever the governing body of a county or district has made a particular provision or provisions of this chapter providing for increased benefits applicable to that county or district through the adoption of an ordinance or resolution, the governing body may at any time thereafter adopt another ordinance or resolution terminating the applicability of that provision or provisions as to current employees of the county or district who elect by written notice filed with the board to have the applicability of the provision or provisions terminated as to them. This section is intended only to authorize the termination of those benefits which the governing body of a county or district elected to increase over the basic benefits or to make applicable in addition to the basic benefits pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. Nothing herein shall be construed as authorizing the governing body of a county or district to terminate the basic benefits required under the provisions of this chapter.

The governing board of a county or district prior to adopting an ordinance or resolution allowing the termination of the applicability of any increased benefit provisions shall provide an oral or written explanation of the effect and impact of the termination for each member requesting termination of the applicability of any such provisions.

The governing board shall require members requesting termination of the applicability of any provisions to sign an affidavit stating that the member has been fully informed regarding the effect of the termination, and understands that the termination of a provision or provisions is irrevocable. The affidavit shall also state that the employee has chosen termination of the provision or provisions of the employee’s own free will and was not coerced into termination of any provision by the employer or any other person.

The governing body shall, in the ordinance or resolution granting current employees the option of electing to have the applicability of such provision or provisions terminated, specify the provision or provisions which shall be applicable to current employees making the election. Employees who elect to have the provision or provisions terminated, shall have their retirement allowance for service rendered after the effective date of election calculated on the basis of the provision made applicable by the governing body.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the retirement allowance for service rendered prior to the effective date of the election shall be calculated on the basis of the provision or provisions applicable during that period of service. Any employee who has made such an election shall not be eligible for retirement unless the employee meets the minimum requirements of the provision or provisions applicable at the date of retirement. Any employee who has made an election whereby the definition of “final compensation” in Section 31462.1 no longer applies, shall have the definition of “final compensation” in Section 31462 applied at the date of retirement regardless of previous service under the provisions of Section 31462.1. Any employee who has made an election whereby a cost-of-living adjustment provision of Article 16.5 (commencing with Section 31870) no longer applies shall have the cost-of-living adjustment provision, if any, specified by the governing body applied to all previous service at the date of retirement regardless of previous service under such other provision of Article 16.5. Any employee who has made an election whereby a death benefit provision of Article 12 (commencing with Section 31780) no longer applies shall have the death benefit provisions specified by the governing body applied at the date of retirement regardless of previous service under other provisions of Article 12.

A current employee who has elected to have the applicability of the provision or provisions terminated may not rescind such an election unless the governing body of the county or district again makes the particular provision or provisions applicable to the county or district through the adoption of a subsequent ordinance or resolution. Any such election made by a current employee shall be binding upon the employee’s spouse and all others claiming benefits under such employee’s entitlement.

This section shall not be applicable to safety members.

This section shall only be applicable to a county of the eighteenth class as described by Section 28039.
