2001 Budget Analysis:Secretary of State
The budget proposes $7.3 million from the Business Fees Fund for Phase II of the Business Programs Automation (BPA) project. This would include the
development of electronic systems for various business filing programs administered by the SOS.
Business Programs Automation. Significant problems exist in the processing of corporate and other business registration programs for which the SOS is
responsible. Those problems include inefficient processing of corporate filings and backlogs of tens of thousands of documents, difficulty in responding to
requests for public records and information, and potentially serious mistakes in record keeping. To address these problems in 2000-01, the SOS proposed a
two-phase BPA project to allow the department to provide accurate data, standardize and simplify the processing of business and security filings, reduce
turnaround time, and file documents electronically. Phase I of the BPA project consists of developing a system which would accomplish these objectives with
respect to Uniform Commercial Code filings only, due to the need to comply with recently-enacted legislation. Phase II of the BPA project would extend the
system to other filing programs and acquire an integrated information system to support these programs.
The 2000-01 Budget Act provided $8.5 million from the Business Fees and Business Reinvestment Funds for Phase I of the BPA project. This funding was
provided under the condition that the Department of Information Technology (DOIT) and the Department of Finance (DOF) approve the appropriate project
initiation documents. State administrative rules require these state agencies to review and approve new information technology projects before funds can be
budgeted.
Department Does Not Have Approval to Implement Proposal. The DOF has approved Phase I of the BPA project but has not approved Phase II. This is due to
the fact that SOS has not demonstrated that substantial business benefits would result from the implementation of Phase II. The SOS intends to submit a
Feasibility Study Report for review by DOIT and DOF which will include plans for Phases I and II of the BPA project. Nonetheless, DOF included funding for
this project in the proposed budget without reviewing the Feasibility Study Report. Budget bill language, however, indicates that these funds may not be
Civil Case Coordination - superior_courts
Notice of Submission of Petition for Coordination; and
Copy of the Petition for Coordination with supporting Memorandum of Points and Authorities and Declaration. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.522.)
	 

What is a "Proof of Service of Filing"?
Under rule 3.522 of the California Rules of Court, the documents submitted to the Chair of the Judicial Council must demonstrate proof that the Notice of Submission of Petition for Coordination was filed in each included superior court action. Within five calendar days after submitting the Petition for Coordination, the petitioner must submit to the Chair of the Judicial Council proof of filing of the Notice of Submission of Petition and Proof of Service of the Notice of Submission of Petition and of the Petition (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.522.).
Following are suggested methods for satisfying this requirement:

List the clerks of the courts and addresses for each included action on the proof of service by mail.
Submit a declaration of service by mail that states under penalty of perjury that the Notice of Submission of Petition for Coordination for the included action was transmitted to the court for filing in that included action. When the court returns a file-stamped copy of the Notice of Submission of Petition for Coordination, send a copy to the chair of the Judicial Council at the address shown above.
	 

How can a petitioner obtain a stay of actions pending the ruling on the Petition for Coordination?
The stay procedures are described in rule 3.515 of the California Rules of Court. Important factors to note are the following:

The Chair of the Judicial Council never issues a stay.
There is an automatic stay of trial and stay of entry of judgment when the Chair of the Judicial Council's order assigning a coordination motion judge (or delegating that authority to a presiding judge) is filed in the action unless the trial has already begun (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.515.)
A stay of anything other than a trial and entry of judgment may be requested and included with the petition for coordination or may be submitted and served at any time before the petition for coordination is determined. Opposition to a stay request must be served on all parties and submitted to the Judicial Council within 10 days after service of the application (Cal.

CAL FIRE Strategic Plan 2024

 CAL FIRE Strategic Plan 2024
Transforming Tomorrow

CAL FIRE is planning for its future and setting a direction for what the coming years should look like for all levels of the department. To do this in a meaningful way, and to capture the unique role that every employee plays in delivering CAL FIRE’s mission daily, the Department is in the process of developing a new 2024 Strategic Plan, building on the goals and objectives of the 2019 strategic plan.
To date, collaborative conversations on department priorities, resources, employee support and the value of partnerships and external relations have taken place with both internal and external audiences. The results of these conversations and formal feedback surveys will form the backbone of the 2024 strategic plan. Explore this page to see what people are saying and to get an idea of the direction we are heading.

 TIMELINE
 

April - June 2023: External Outreach

July - October 2023: Working Group to begin Development of Goals and Objectives
The 2024-25 Budget: California Student Aid Commission
From the revised 2023‑24 spending level, the Governor’s budget further increases Cal Grant spending by $148 million (6.2 percent) in 2024‑25. This is a relatively high growth rate compared to the average annual change of 3.7 percent over the past decade. We summarize the projected changes for 2024‑25 by segment and award type in our Cal Grant Spending and Cal Grant Recipient tables. The higher spending reflects a 3.4 percent projected increase in recipients, primarily for community college entitlement and high school entitlement awards. It also reflects a 2.7 percent projected increase in average award amounts, primarily due to tuition increases. Under CSAC’s estimates, $43 million of the Cal Grant spending increase in 2024‑25 is attributable to UC tuition increases and an additional $35 million is attributable to CSU tuition increases. 
Cost Estimates Will Be Updated at May Revision. CSAC prepared the Cal Grant cost estimates underlying the Governor’s budget in October 2023. In the spring, CSAC plans to update its estimates based on more recent program data for 2023‑24. The administration is expected to update its Cal Grant spending levels at the May Revision accordingly. At that time, more data will likely also be available on the potential impact of recent FAFSA changes on Cal Grant application rates in 2024‑25, as we discuss in the box nearby. 

Financial Aid Application Changes
Launch of New Federal Financial Aid Application Has Been Stymied by Many Delays. The U.S. Department of Education recently made significant changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)—the form students use to apply for many types of federal, state, and institutional financial aid. The changes are intended to simplify the form by reducing the number of questions students and families need to answer and transferring data directly from their previous tax filings. After a one‑year delay in the original launch date, the revised FAFSA is now in the midst of being implemented across the nation for the first time. The department released the new application form for the 2024‑25 award year about three months later than usual (on December 30 rather than October 1, 2023).

 R.V.E.T.S
Returning Veterans; Enlisting Their Skills for CAL FIRE Service

From the CAL FIRE family to veterans, active service members and their families, "Thank you for your service and sacrifice."
Recognizing the hardships, accompanying reintegration into the civilian workforce, as well as the valuable skills and experiences those who are serving, who have served, and those who have supported someone in the service possess, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has launched the R.V.E.T.S. program. R.V.E.T.S. is CAL FIRE’s grassroots effort to assist veterans, service members, and their families with integration and transition into service with the Department and the State of California. In partnership with a variety of organizations including; but not limited to, the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet), the California National Guard (Cal Guard), the Employment Development Department, and various branches of the military, R.V.E.T.S. explores a variety of employment options and educational opportunities for veterans who have successfully served as well as those who continue to serve in the National Guard and Reserves.
For those who are not familiar with the State's civil service system, obtaining employment with the State of California can seem daunting at times.

Timber Harvesting Plan | CAL FIRE
Frequently, the public comment period is extended to allow time for all agencies and the RPF to complete their reviews and or responses to any outstanding Plan issues.  Typically, the close of public comment is 10 days following the completion of the final inter agency review.


 Following the Review Team's final recommendation
 

The final recommendations are sent to the Registered Professional Forester for response. After the RPF's response is received and the public comment period closes, the THP goes to the CAL FIRE Director, or the Director's representative, who has 15 working days to approve or deny the THP. The Director considers all Board of Forestry and Fire Protection rules, the review team's recommendations, and any public comment that was submitted concerning the proposed timber operation before making a decision to approve or deny the THP. CAL FIRE prepares and sends or e-mails a written response to each person or group who submits public comment on a THP.


 Once a THP is Approved
 

CAL FIRE Unit Forest Practice Inspectors will periodically inspect the logging operation to ensure compliance with the approved THP and all laws and regulations.
Any violations will be promptly acted upon. Enforcement actions range from violation notices requiring corrective actions, assessment of civil penalties and fines, and criminal proceedings through the court system. Action may also be taken against the licenses of the timber operator and/or the RPF on the operation.
When a THP operation has been completed, the timber owner has the responsibility for submitting a completion report to CAL FIRE. CAL FIRE then inspects the area to certify that all rules were followed.
The landowner must restock (replant) the area according to the Forest Practice Rules requirements. A stocking report must be filed with CAL FIRE to certify that these requirements were met. If the landowner fails to restock the land, CAL FIRE may hire a contractor to do the work and bill the landowner.
