Probate | Superior Court of California | County of Tulare
If this occurs, you, the child, and any other persons deemed essential will probably be contacted about the case. The investigator will give the court a report and make a recommendation on what should occur. At that stage, the case may go to trial. The court may grant the petition or may find that there are insufficient grounds to establish a guardianship.
There is a fee for filing a guardianship petition. In addition, you may be charged a fee for a guardianship investigation. If neither you nor the child's estate can afford to pay the fees, you may request that the court waive the fee requirement. The court clerk can provide you with a fee waiver form.
Guardianship of the Person
The probate court may appoint a guardian of the person for a child when no parent is available to meet the needs of the child because of the parents' death, incapacity, abandonment, military obligations, or other reasons.
Fundamental Responsibilities
The guardian of the person of a child has the care, custody, and control of the child. As guardian, you are responsible for providing for food, clothing, shelter, education, and all the medical and dental needs of the child. You must provide for the safety, protection, and physical and emotional growth of the child. Like a parent, you should maintain close contact with the child's school and physician.
Custody
As guardian of the person of the child, you have full legal and physical custody of the child and are responsible for all decisions relating to the child. The child's parents can no longer make decisions for the child while there is a guardianship. The parents' rights are suspended-not terminated-as long as a guardian is appointed for a minor. If you wish, you may ask the parents for their opinions about matters relating to the child.
Education
As guardian of the person of the child, you are responsible for the child's education. You determine where the child should attend school. As the child's advocate within the school system, you should attend conferences and play an active role in the child's education.
Residence
As guardian, you have the right to determine where the child lives.

The 2024‑25 Budget
Department of Cannabis Control—Legal and Administrative Hearing Costs

Background
Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) Regulates Cannabis. DCC licenses and regulates commercial cannabis activity, including the cultivation, manufacture, testing, sale, and transportation of cannabis goods. For example, the department oversees testing laboratories that make sure cannabis is safe for consumption, which includes reviewing license applications, conducting routine inspections, investigating complaints, taking enforcement actions, and conducting investigative sample analysis. The Governor proposes a total of $171 million for the support of DCC in 2024-25, primarily from the Cannabis Control Fund, which receives revenues largely from cannabis licensing fees.
DCC Transitioning From Provisional to Annual Licenses. DCC issues annual licenses to applicants who have fulfilled all license requirements, including a completed application, local permitting, and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. Previously, DCC also issued provisional licenses to applicants if they submitted a completed license application and were in the process of completing local permitting processes and CEQA requirements. However, the state has been gradually phasing out the types of provisional licenses that DCC can issue.

FTB Publication 1017 | FTB.ca.gov
How do you determine the amount subject to withholding with income from inside and outside California?
For withholding purposes, use any reasonable method to approximate the ratio of California income to worldwide income. Reasonable methods include using the prior yearâs ratio or apportionment factors, annualizing current year data, and using actual year-to-date figures. (See California Schedule R, Apportionment and Allocation of Income, for more information on apportionment.) We do not expect exactness in meeting this requirement. Making a good faith eï¬ort to comply with the withholding requirements will satisfy this requirement.
Entities Subject to Withholding
22. Which nonresident entities are subject to withholding when receiving payments or distributions of California source income?
Nonresident entities subject to withholding include: 

Individuals who are nonresidents of California.
Corporations that do not have a permanent place of business in California and are not qualified through the Oï¬ice of the Secretary of State (SOS) to do business in California.
Partnerships and LLCs that do not have a permanent place of business in California and are not registered through SOS.
Nonresident estates and trusts. 
Domestic nonresident partners include:
 
Individuals who are nonresidents of California.
Corporations that are not qualified by SOS to do business in California or do not have a permanent place of business in California.
Nonresident estates and trusts.
Partnerships that do not have a permanent place of business in California.

23. Are withholding agents required to withhold when vendors perform services in connection with the sale of goods?
Yes. Withholding is required on the portion of the sale that relates to services provided in California. Form 587, Nonresident Withholding Allocation Worksheet, may be used to distinguish the portion of payments made for goods from the portion for services.
24. Is withholding required on distributions to nongrantor trusts?
Yes. Withholding is required on distributions to nongrantor trusts unless at least one trustee is a California resident. Withholding agents may rely on an exemption certification using Form 590, Withholding Exemption Certificate.
Ask for a Fee Waiver | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Gather the information you need

Look at Form FW-001-INFO. You may also need information about your income and expenses to fill out the fee waiver form.
If you receive public benefits, you only need to check which benefit you receive on the form. You don't need to fill out the part about your income or expenses. 
If your household income is below a set amount, you will need to fill out information about your household income. You might need to look at copies of paystubs or other documents with your income, to fill out the forms.
If you can't afford the fee and your household's basic needs, you will need to fill out information about your income and expenses. You might need to look at things like paystubs, bills, and bank statements, to fill out the forms.

Fill out forms
Fill out the Request to Waive Court Fees (form FW-001). This is a confidential form that only the court will see.
On item 5, check a, b, or c depending on why you qualify.
If you checked a (you qualify because you receive public benefits), you do not need to complete Page 2.
If you checked b (you qualify because of your household income), you must answer the items on Page 2 about your household income (items 7, 8, and 9).
If you checked c (you qualify because you can't afford the fee), you must fill out all of Page 2.
Sign your request for a fee waiver under penalty of perjury. This means you promise the court that you are telling the truth and that you understand you can be punished for lying. 
Also, fill out item 1 in Order on Court Fee Waiver (form FW-003).

Make copies
Make a copy of your completed Form FW-001.  You'll have 2 total, including the original. You don't need to copy Form FW-003.
 

File your Request for Fee Waiver

Take your original and copy of your fee waiver forms to the court clerk. You can do this at the same time you file your other court papers.
