This bill died with 2015-2016 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) Existing law provides for the salaries of the chairperson and commissioners of the Board of Parole Hearings and the chairperson and members of the Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board, and limits increases to those salaries by, among other restrictions, prohibiting a salary increase exceeding the percentage of the general increase in the salary rates and ranges for classifications provided during that fiscal year for state employees designated as managerial. This bill would instead authorize the Department of Human Resources to set and adjust, as needed, the annual compensation of these state officers based on specified factors. The bill would prohibit compensation for these state officers from exceeding 125% of the compensation recommended to be paid to the Governor by the California Citizens Compensation Commission, and would require the department to notify the Legislature of the compensation level implemented within 30 days of the effective date of the proposed compensation adjustment. (2) The Public Employees' Medical and Hospital Care Act requires, among other things, the Board of Administration of the Public Employees' Retirement System to report to the Legislature and the Director of Finance, on November 1, 2015, and annually thereafter, on specific components of the health benefits program. This bill would remove the requirement for the board to report on November 1, 2015, and instead require the board to report beginning on November 1, 2016, and annually thereafter. (3) Existing law established the California Health Benefit Exchange to be governed by an executive board consisting of 5 members who are residents of California. Existing law requires the board to establish and use a competitive process to select participating carriers and any other contractors, and exempts any contract entered into pursuant to these provisions from the State Contract Act. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this provision. (4) Existing law requires a county board of supervisors, upon an agreement to accept specified funding, to develop and administer a competitive grant program in collaboration with the county's Community Corrections Partnership to fund community recidivism and crime reduction services. Existing law allocates funding to counties from the Budget Act of 2015 pursuant to a specified allocation schedule for this purpose and requires the board of supervisors to grant the funds to community recidivism and crime reduction service providers, as defined. Based on the population of the county, existing law limits the maximum amount of funds that may be awarded to a service provider to between $10,000 and $100,000, and further limits the total amount of grants that may be awarded to a single provider by all counties to $100,000. This bill would make the above-specified limitation on the maximum amount that may be awarded to a service provider applicable to each Budget Act allocation. (5) The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law provide for various exclusions from the calculation of gross income in determining tax liability, and specifically exclude from that calculation, for taxable years beginning on or after July 1, 2015, an amount received as a loan, loan forgiveness, grant, credit, rebate, voucher, or incentive from the California Residential Mitigation Program or the California Earthquake Authority relating to earthquake loss mitigation. These existing laws define "earthquake loss mitigation" as an activity that reduces seismic risks to a residential structure or its contents, or both, and define a "residential structure" by reference to another law, relating to policies of residential property insurance. This bill would remove the reference to a loan from the listing of excluded items, and revise the definition of "residential structure" to also include a residential building of not fewer than 2, but not more than 10, dwelling units. (6) The bill would make an appropriation from the State Department of Public Health Licensing and Certification Program Fund of $400,000 to the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program for the purposes of Program 3900-Supportive Services, as specified in the Budget Act of 2015. (7) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
