Summary

Existing state and federal law prohibits the exclusion of a qualified individual with a disability, by reason of that disability, from participation in or equal access to the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity, or be subjected to discrimination by a public entity. Federal regulations require a public entity to take appropriate steps to ensure that communications with participants and members of the public with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. These regulations also require a public entity to furnish appropriate auxiliary aids and services where necessary to afford an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in, and enjoy the benefits of, a service, program, or activity conducted by a public entity. Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, governs the procedure for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and for the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law. Existing law requires an agency to publish a notice of proposed action that includes specified information, at least 45 days prior to a hearing and the close of the public comment period. Existing law requires an agency that proposes certain regulations, upon a request from a person with a visual disability or other disability for which effective communication is required under state or federal law, to provide that person a narrative description of the proposed regulation, as prescribed, and requires an extended public comment period for that person. This bill would require an agency that proposes specified types of regulations to include within the notice of proposed action a specified statement regarding the availability of narrative descriptions for persons with visual or other specified disabilities. This bill would incorporate additional changes in Section 11346.5 of the Government Code, proposed by AB 1612 to be operative only if AB 1612, and this bill are both chaptered and become effective on or before January 1, 2013, and this bill is chaptered last.
