(e) A party to, or a participant in, an adjudicatory proceeding pending before the board shall disclose on the record of the proceeding any contribution or contributions in an aggregate amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) or more made within the preceding 12 months by the party or participant, or the party’s or participant’s agent, to any member of the board.

(g) For purposes of this section, if a deputy to the Controller sits at a meeting of the board and votes on behalf of the Controller, the deputy shall disclose contributions made to the Controller and shall disqualify the deputy from voting pursuant to the requirements of this section.

(h) For purposes of this section:

(1) “Contribution” has the same meaning prescribed in Section 82015 and the regulations adopted thereto.

(2) “Party” means any person who is the subject of an adjudicatory proceeding pending before the board.

(3) “Participant” means any person who is not a party but who actively supports or opposes a particular decision in an adjudicatory proceeding pending before the board and who has a financial interest in the decision, as described in Article 1 (commencing with Section 87100) of Chapter 7 of Title 9. A person actively supports or opposes a particular decision if the person lobbies in person the members or employees of the board, testifies in person before the board, or otherwise acts to influence the members of the board.

(4) “Agent” means any person who represents a party to or participant in an adjudicatory proceeding pending before the board. If a person acting as an agent is also acting as an employee or member of a law, accounting, consulting, or other firm, or a similar entity or corporation, both the entity or corporation and the person are agents.

(5) “Adjudicatory proceeding pending before the board” means a matter for adjudication that has been scheduled and appears as an item on a meeting notice of the board as required by Section 11125 as a contested matter for administrative hearing before the board members. A consent calendar matter is not included unless the matter has previously appeared on the calendar as a nonconsent item, or has been removed from the consent calendar for separate discussion and vote, or the item is one about which the member has previously contacted the staff or a party.

(6) A member knows or has reason to know about a contribution if, after the adjudicatory proceeding first appears on a meeting notice of the board, facts have been brought to the member’s personal attention that the member has received a contribution which would require disqualification under subdivision (c), or that the member received written notice from the board staff, before commencement of the hearing and before any subsequent decision on the matter, that a specific party, close corporation, or majority shareholder, or agent thereof, or any participant having a financial interest in the matter, or agent thereof, in a specific, named adjudicatory proceeding before the board, made a contribution or contributions within the preceding 12 months in an aggregate amount of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) or more. Each member shall provide board staff with a copy of each of the member’s campaign statements at the time each of those statements is filed.

The notice of contribution shall be on a form prescribed under rules adopted by the board to provide for staff inquiry of each party, participant, close corporation, and its majority shareholder, and any agent thereof, to determine whether any contribution has been made to a member, and, if so, in what aggregate amount and on what date or dates within the 12 months preceding an adjudicatory proceeding or decision.

In addition, the staff shall inquire and report on the record as follows:

(A) Whether any party or participant is a close corporation, and, if so, the name of its majority shareholder.

(B) Whether any agent is an employee or member of any law, accounting, consulting, or other firm, or similar entity or corporation, and, if so, its name and address and whether a contribution has been made by any such person, firm, corporation, or entity.

(i) (1) Any person who knowingly or willfully violates any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor.

(2) No person convicted of a misdemeanor under this section shall be a candidate for any elective office or act as a lobbyist for a period for four years following the time for filing a notice of appeal has expired, or all possibility of direct attack in the courts of this state has been finally exhausted, unless the court at the time of sentencing specifically determines that this provision shall not be applicable. A plea of nolo contendere shall be deemed a conviction for the purposes of this section.

(3) In addition to other penalties provided by law, a fine of up to the greater of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or three times the amount the person failed to disclose or report properly, may be imposed upon conviction for each violation.

(4) Prosecution for violation of this section shall be commenced within four years after the date on which the violation occurred.

(5) This section shall not prevent any member of the board from making, or participating in making, a governmental decision to the extent that the member’s participation is legally required for the action or decision to be made. However, the fact that a member’s vote is needed to break a tie does not make the member’s participation legally required.

(d) Nothing in this section shall preclude the selection committee from setting the assessment rate for a business within a segment at a lower rate, which may be set at zero, than a rate applicable to other businesses within that segment if the selection committee makes specific findings that the lower rate should apply due to unique geographical, financial, or other circumstances affecting the business. No business for which a zero assessment rate is set pursuant to this subdivision shall be sent a ballot or entitled to participate in the initial referendum, or in any subsequent referendum in which its rate of assessment is set at zero.

(a) Contingent upon the receipt of federal funds for this purpose, the department, in consultation with the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst’s Office, shall prepare the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System established pursuant to Section 60900 to include data on a quarterly rate of pupil attendance. Preparation shall include all of the following:

(1) The addition of fields to facilitate the transfer of data.

(1) Rates of absence.

(2) Chronic absentees.

(c) (1) For purposes of this section, “chronic absentee” means a pupil who is absent on 10 percent or more of the schooldays in the school year when the total number of days a pupil is absent is divided by the total number of days the pupil is enrolled and school was actually taught in the regular day schools of the district, exclusive of Saturdays and Sundays.

(2) Once available, chronic absentee rates shall be incorporated into the annual report on dropouts required pursuant to Section 48070.6.

(3) In addition to the calculation of absentee rates performed pursuant to paragraph (1), once the department has completed and reported the collection of data pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 46211, the department shall also report an alternate chronic absenteeism rate calculation, which includes pupil attendance accrued through an attendance recovery program pursuant to Sections 46210 and 46211.

(d) It is the intent of the Legislature to support the development of early warning systems to enable the identification and support of individual pupils who are at risk of academic failure or dropping out of school. The systems shall encompass the following characteristics:

(1) The utilization of highly predictive indicators, including attendance, course grades or completion, performance on assessments of pupil achievement, suspensions, and expulsions.

(2) A thorough validation process to ensure the predictive reliability of the systems.

(3) Periodic reports that inform principals, teachers, and parents in a manner that enables timely identification and support of individual pupils who are at risk of academic failure or dropping out.

(e) When the system established pursuant to Section 60900 is prepared to accept data on a quarterly rate of pupil attendance, a local educational agency may submit data to the department on a quarterly rate of pupil attendance and other indicators as identified by the department. It is the intent of the Legislature that schools identified on the list of persistently lowest-achieving schools will fully utilize the early warning systems described in subdivision (d).

(f) A local educational agency that reports attendance data for pupils to the system established pursuant to Section 60900 may request, and the department shall provide, the early warning report described in subdivision (d) up to four times each school year.

(g) The department shall notify local educational agencies that reporting pupil attendance and chronic absentee data pursuant to this section is voluntary. The notice shall include a description of the benefits of reporting pupil attendance and chronic absentee data in fostering the development of effective supports and interventions for at-promise pupils.

(h) This section shall not be implemented unless federal funds are appropriated specifically for the purposes of this section.

A deferred payment shall be adequately secured and bear interest.

(i) A dissociated partner may maintain an action against the partnership, pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 16405, to determine the buyout price of that partner’s interest, any offsets under subdivision (c), or other terms of the obligation to purchase.

(a) If a registered warrant, as defined in Section 17221, is issued for payment of any principal or interest due and payable on a state bond that is held in book entry form by a securities settlement system, the beneficial owner of the state bond may offset the portion of the principal amount of the registered warrant (exclusive of interest thereon) that is attributable to that beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the state bond against an existing tax liability, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 17280.1, of that beneficial owner, in accordance with Sections 17280.1 and 17280.2, or otherwise in accordance with procedures established by the Controller, notwithstanding that the securities settlement system, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the state bond or the named payee of the registered warrant. The amount of that beneficial owner’s tax liability that may be offset pursuant to this section shall not exceed the portion of the principal amount of the registered warrant, exclusive of interest thereon, that is attributable to the taxpayer’s beneficial ownership of the state bond. Any beneficial owner who exercises the offset right set forth in this section in payment of an existing tax liability shall not be entitled to receive payment of any interest accruing on the portion of the registered warrant attributable to that beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the state bond after the date on which the beneficial owner exercises the offset right in accordance with the applicable procedures, and the beneficial owner shall be required to promptly repay to the state any interest accruing on the registered warrant after that date that may be paid to or ultimately received by the beneficial owner, if any. The preceding sentence shall apply even if the portion of the principal amount of the registered warrant that is attributable to the beneficial owner’s ownership interest in the state bond is larger than the amount of the tax liability offset by the beneficial owner with that registered warrant. Upon exercising the right of offset pursuant to this subdivision, the beneficial owner shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, or assign his or her beneficial ownership of the applicable state bond until the applicable registered warrant has been redeemed by the state and the beneficial owner has repaid any interest received on his or her portion of that registered warrant attributable to the period after that beneficial owner’s exercise of the right of offset as provided in this subdivision. For purposes of this subdivision and subdivision (b), “state bond” means any general obligation bond or revenue anticipation note issued by the state.

(b) No state entity shall take any action that would materially adversely impair, limit, or restrict the rights of a beneficial owner of a state bond, as set forth in this section, Section 17280.1, or Section 17280.2, or any successor provisions, as those provisions were in effect when the person or party became a beneficial owner of the state bond, until the state bond is fully paid and discharged.
