Current federal law authorizes a waiver of that time limit upon the request of a state if it is determined that the area in which the individuals reside has an unemployment rate of over 10% or does not have a sufficient number of jobs to provide employment for the individuals. Current state law requires the State Department of Social Services, to the extent permitted by federal law, to annually seek a federal waiver of the time limit. Current federal law also authorizes a state to provide, in each fiscal year, a discretionary exemption from the 3-month time limit for covered individuals, to the extent that the average monthly number of exemptions in effect during a fiscal year does not exceed 12% of the number of covered individuals in the state. This bill would require the department, with appropriated state funds, to establish California Antihunger Response and Employment Training (CARET) to provide food assistance benefits to a person who has been determined ineligible for CalFresh benefits, or for whom CalFresh benefits have been discontinued as a result of the ABAWD time limit, and who also is ineligible for the discretionary exemption described above. The bill would require the person to receive CARET benefits in the same amount that they would have received under the CalFresh program if the ABAWD time limit did not make them ineligible.

Summary: Current law requires a city or county to approve administratively applications to install solar energy systems through the issuance of a building permit or similar nondiscretionary permit. Current law requires every city, county, or city and county to develop a streamlined permitting process for the installation of small residential rooftop solar energy systems, as that term is defined. Current law prescribes and limits permit fees that a city or county may charge for a residential and commercial solar energy system. Current law creates the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission (Energy Commission) in the Natural Resources Agency and prescribes its duties, which include administering programs for the installation of solar energy systems.This bill would require every city, county, or city and county to implement an online, automated permitting platform that verifies code compliance and issues permits in real time for a solar energy system, as defined, that is no larger than
38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating and an energy storage system, as defined, paired with a solar energy system that is no larger than 38.4 kilowatts alternating current nameplate rating.

Summary: Current law, contingent on an appropriation made for these purposes, requires the State Department of Education, on or before January 1, 2023, to recommend best practices and identify training programs for use by local educational agencies to address youth behavioral health, including, but not necessarily limited to, staff and pupil training, as specified. Current law requires the department to ensure that each identified training program, among other requirements, provides instruction on how school staff can best provide referrals to youth behavioral health services or other support to individuals in the early stages of developing a youth behavioral health disorder. Current law defines a local educational agency for purposes of these provisions to mean a county office of education, school district, state special school, or charter school that serves pupils in any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive. This bill would include referrals to special education services in that instruction requirement for identified training programs. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2025, those local educational agencies to certify to the department that 75% of both its classified and certificated employees have received that youth behavioral health training, as specified. The bill would prohibit the training in youth behavioral health to be a condition of employment or hiring.

local control funding formula, as specified, that includes average daily attendance as a component of that calculation for these local educational agencies. Current law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, on or before February 20 of each year, to make a first principal apportionment of funds and, on or before July 2 of each year, to make a 2nd principal apportionment of funds to each local educational agency. This bill would define “average daily membership” as the quotient of the aggregate enrollment days for all pupils in a school district, county office of education, or charter school, from transitional kindergarten to grade 12, inclusive, as applicable, divided by the total number of instructional days for the local educational agency in an academic year. The bill would require a local educational agency’s average daily membership to be calculated using data from the same fiscal year or years that the local educational agency used to calculate its average daily attendance for purposes of state apportionment, as provided.

The bill would require that an electrical corporation earn a rate of return on its investments or expenditures made pursuant to the program, subject to a performance metric developed by the commission that would, at a minimum, require the withholding of those earnings until 60 consecutive months have elapsed without either the undergrounding project’s infrastructure causing a deenergization event or a wildfire resulting from the undergrounding project’s infrastructure.

Summary: The Dig Safe Act of 2016 generally regulates excavations around subsurface installations, defined as any underground pipeline, conduit, duct, wire, or other structure, except nonpressurized sewerlines, nonpressurized storm drains, and other nonpressurized drain lines. The act requires an excavator to comply with specified notification and delineation requirements before starting an excavation. Current law provides for the enforcement of the act by the California Underground Facilities Safe Excavation Board. Current law defines the terms “legal excavation start date and time,” “working day,” and “subsurface installation” for purposes of the act.

The bill would revise the definition of “subsurface installation” to include nonpressurized sewerlines, nonpressurized storm drains, and other nonpressurized drain lines.
