AB 1 (Garcia, Cristina D) Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Act of 2016: dealer notice: California battery fee.
Current Text: Amended: 5/18/2022 html pdf

Summary: The Lead-Acid Battery Recycling Act of 2016, as part of the hazardous waste control laws, prohibits a person from disposing, or attempting to dispose, of a lead-acid battery at a solid waste facility or on or in any land, surface waters, watercourses, or marine waters, but authorizes a person to dispose of a lead-acid battery at certain locations. The act imposes a California battery fee on a person for specified types of replacement lead-acid batteries purchased from a dealer in the amount of $1 until March 31, 2022, and in the amount of $2 commencing April 1, 2022. The act requires a dealer to post a written notice or include on the purchaser’s receipt for one of these lead-acid batteries specified language, including language stating that the dealer is required by law to charge a nonrefundable $1 California battery fee. A violation of the hazardous waste control laws is a crime. This bill would revise the language required to be included in that notice or on the purchaser’s receipt by increasing the stated amount of the California battery fee from $1 to $2.

Summary: The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, which is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, regulates the application, issuance, and suspension of alcoholic beverage licenses. Current law, known as tied-house restrictions, generally prohibits specified licensees, or their officers, directors, or agents, from giving or lending money or a thing of value to a person operating, owning, or maintaining any on-sale premises where alcoholic beverages are sold. In this regard, current law specifically prohibits paying a retailer for advertising. Current law creates a variety of exceptions to this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale licensee that is an owner, manager, agent or assignee of the owner, or major tenant of certain venues, including a fully enclosed arena with a fixed seating capacity of more than 15,000 seats located in the City of San Jose.
Existing law makes specified violations of these advertising provisions punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would expand the above-described exception to tied-house restrictions that allows for the purchase of advertising by extending it to a fully enclosed arena with a fixed seating capacity of more than 4,000 seats located in the City of San Jose.

Summary: Current law provides that a provision of a memorandum of understanding reached between the state employer and a recognized employee organization representing state civil service employees that requires the expenditure of funds does not become effective unless approved by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act. Current law requires the Department of Human Resources to provide a memorandum of understanding to the Legislative Analyst who then has 10 calendar days from the date the tentative agreement is received to issue a fiscal analysis to the Legislature. Current law prohibits the memorandum of understanding from being subject to legislative determination until either the Legislative Analyst has presented a fiscal analysis of the memorandum of understanding or until 10 calendar days have elapsed since the memorandum was received by the Legislative Analyst. This bill, notwithstanding the above statutory provisions, would approve agreements entered into between the state employer and State Bargaining Units 16 and 18. The bill would provide that the provisions of the addenda that require the expenditure of funds will not take effect unless funds for these provisions are specifically appropriated by the
Legislature. The bill would authorize the state employer or these state bargaining units to reopen negotiations if funds for these provisions are not specifically appropriated by the Legislature. The bill would require the provisions of the agreements that require the expenditure of funds to become effective even if the provisions are approved by the Legislature in legislation other than the annual Budget Act.

Summary: The Medicinal and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), among other things, consolidates the licensure and regulation of commercial medicinal and adult-use cannabis activities.
MAUCRSA establishes the Department of Cannabis Control for the administration and enforcement of its provisions.

Summary: Current law, known as tied-house restrictions, generally prohibits specified licensees, or their officers, directors, or agents, from giving or lending money or a thing of value to a person operating, owning, or maintaining any on-sale premises where alcoholic beverages are sold. In this regard, current law specifically prohibits paying a retailer for advertising. Current law creates a variety of exceptions to this prohibition, including permitting specified licensees to purchase advertising space and time from, or on behalf of, an on-sale retail licensee that is an owner, manager, agent or assignee of the owner, or major tenant of certain venues, subject to specified conditions. Current law requires the purchase of advertising space or time, in this context, to be conducted pursuant to a written contract and, in certain instances, specifically authorizes a contract to be made with the owner, a long-term tenant of the complex, or a licensee of the complex, whether or not the owner, long-term tenant, or licensee holds an on-sale license. In this context, existing law makes certain acts of coercion crimes, including when an on-sale licensee coerces other specified licensees to purchase advertising space or time. This bill would expand the above-described exception to tied-house restrictions that allows for the purchase of advertising by applying it to a fully enclosed arena with a fixed seating capacity in excess of 10,000 seats located in the County of Riverside.

Summary: The Planning and Zoning Law requires each county and city to adopt a comprehensive, longterm general plan for its physical development, and the development of certain lands outside its boundaries, that includes, among other mandatory elements, a housing element. Current law requires that the housing element include, among other things, an inventory of land suitable and available for residential development.
If the inventory of sites does not identify adequate sites to accommodate the need for groups of all households pursuant to specified law, existing law requires the local government to rezone sites within specified time periods and that this rezoning accommodate 100% of the need for housing for very low and low-income households on sites that will be zoned to permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily residential use by right for specified developments. This bill, the Middle Class Housing Act of 2022, would deem a housing development project, as defined, an allowable use on a parcel that is within a zone where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use, if specified conditions are met, including requirements relating to density, public notice, comment, hearing, or other procedures, site location and size, consistency with sustainable community strategy or alternative plans, prevailing wage, and a skilled and trained workforce.

Summary: Current property tax law, in accordance with the California Constitution, provides for a “welfare exemption” for property used exclusively for religious, hospital, scientific, or charitable purposes and that is owned or operated by certain types of nonprofit entities, if certain qualifying criteria are met. Under current property tax law, property that meets these requirements that is used exclusively for rental housing and related facilities is entitled to a partial exemption, equal to that percentage of the value of the property that is equal to the percentage that the number of units serving lower income households represents of the total number of residential units, in any year that any of certain criteria apply, including that the property be subject to a legal restriction that provides that units designated for use by lower income households are continuously available to or occupied by lower income households, at rents not exceeding specified limits. For the 2018–19 fiscal year through the 2027–28 fiscal year, in the case of an owner of property receiving a low-income housing tax credit under specified federal law, current property tax law requires that a unit continue to be treated as occupied by a lower income household for these purposes if the occupants were lower income households on the lien date in the fiscal year in which their occupancy of the unit commenced and the unit continues to be rent restricted, notwithstanding an increase in the income of the occupants of the unit to 140% of area median income, adjusted for family size. This bill, for the 2022–23 fiscal year through the 2027–28 fiscal year, would require that a unit continue to be treated as occupied by a lower income household, as described above, if the owner is a community land trust whose land is leased to lowincome households, subject to a contract that complies with specified requirements.

Summary: Current law prescribes various requirements to be satisfied before the exercise of a power of sale under a mortgage or deed of trust and prescribes a procedure for the exercise of that power. Current law authorizes a trustee, or their agent or successor in interest, upon the sale of property pursuant to a power of sale, to demand and receive from a beneficiary, or their agent or successor in interest, or deduct from the proceeds of the sale, specified reasonable costs and expenses that are actually incurred in enforcing the terms of the obligation and trustee’s or attorney’s fees. Current law, until January 1, 2026, requires a specified notice to tenants and prescribes a process in connection with a trustee’s sale of property under a power of sale contained in a deed of trust or mortgage on real property containing 1 to 4 residential units, inclusive. Under current law, if a prospective owner-occupant, as defined, is the last highest bidder, the date upon which specified conditions required of the bidder at the trustee sale to become final are met. Existing law requires the trustee to require the prospective owner-occupant to provide certain information confirming the owner-occupant’s status. Current law, until January 1, 2026, grants eligible tenant buyers, as defined, and other eligible bidders, as defined, certain rights and priorities to make bids on the property after the initial trustee sale, and potentially to purchase it as the last and highest bidder, subject to certain requirements and timelines, if a prospective owner-occupant is not the last highest bidder. Current law requires prospective owner-occupants, eligible tenant buyers, and other eligible bidders to submit affidavits or declarations under penalty of perjury in connection with this process. Current law, until January 1, 2026, for purposes of the exercise of a power of sale as described above, prohibits a trustee from bundling properties for the purpose of sale, instead requiring each property to be bid on separately, unless the deed of trust or mortgage provides otherwise. This bill would revise the process described above and extend its operation and the operation of the related provisions described above until January 1, 2031, and make conforming changes.

Summary: Current property tax law, in accordance with the California Constitution, provides for a “welfare exemption” for property used exclusively for religious, hospital, scientific, or charitable purposes and that is owned or operated by certain types of nonprofit entities, if certain qualifying criteria are met. Current property tax law states that property is within that welfare exemption if the property is owned and operated by a nonprofit corporation, otherwise qualifying for the welfare exemption, that is organized and operated for the specific and primary purpose of building and rehabilitating single or multifamily residences for sale at cost to low-income families, with financing in the form of a zero interest rate loan and without regard to religion, race, national origin, or the sex of the head of household. This bill would also provide, for lien dates occurring on or after January 1, 2023, and before January 1, 2028, that property is fully exempt from property taxation and is also within that welfare exemption if that property is owned and operated by a nonprofit corporation, as described, that is organized and operated for the specific and primary purpose of building and rehabilitating single or multifamily residential units and the property has units that meet specified requirements. The bill would limit the exemption to the portion of the property proposed to be built or rehabilitated with units meeting the requirements and would limit, following completion of construction, the exemption to the portion of the property with units that meet the requirements, as specified.
