California Product Stewardship Act of Article 1. Findings and Declarations. Assembly Bill. Introduced by Assembly Member Chu January 28, An act to amend Section AB , Chu.
CalWORKs: school attendance: immunizations. Existing law requires each county to provide cash assistance and other social services to needy families through the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids CalWORKs program using federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant program, state, and county funds. Existing law generally makes persons between the ages of 6 and 18 years of age subject to compulsory full-time education, unless exempted.
Existing law also requires children in a CalWORKs assistance unit for whom school attendance is compulsory to attend school, except as specified. Under existing law, the needs of a child in the assistance unit who is 16 years of age or older are not considered in computing the specified grant of the family for any month in which the county is informed by a school district or a county school attendance review board that the child did not attend school, unless at least one of certain conditions is present.
This bill would require applicants for and recipients of CalWORKs to be informed of the general compulsory education requirements. The bill would repeal the prohibition against considering the needs of a child in an assistance unit who is 16 years of age or older who did not attend school, thereby allowing the needs of that child to be considered in computing the monthly family grant. Existing law requires documentation of immunization to be provided by all recipients for aid within 30 days of the determination of eligibility for Medi-Cal benefits, within 45 days for applicants already eligible for Medi-Cal benefits, and for all recipients for CalWORKs, within 45 days of full or financial redetermination.
Existing law prohibits the needs of all parents or caretaker relatives in the assistance unit from being considered in determining the grant to the assistance unit until the required documentation is provided. Existing law requires a notice of the obligation to secure immunizations to be given to the applicant or recipient at the time of application and at the next redetermination of eligibility for aid, and specifies information to be required in the notice.
This bill would, on the effective date of the bill, eliminate the personal belief exception for immunizations required under the CalWORKs program for applicants and recipients who do not already exercise the personal belief exemption, and eliminate that exception for recipients currently exercising the personal belief exemption on the effective date of the remaining provisions of the bill.
The bill would extend to 60 days the above deadlines for providing immunization documentation and would instead authorize the department to require counties, after a day grace period, to exclude the needs of all parents or caretaker relatives in the assistance unit in determining the grant to the assistance unit until the required documentation is provided.
Existing law prescribes the instruments in, and criteria by which, a local agency, as defined, may invest and deposit its funds, including its surplus funds. Existing law, until January 1, , authorizes, under certain conditions, a local agency to invest up to a certain percentage of its surplus funds in deposits at specified types of financial institutions that use a private sector entity to assist in the placement of deposits, whether those investments are certificates of deposit or in another form.
With respect to investments other than a certificate of deposit, existing law limits the percentage of local agency funds that may be invested by any one private sector entity.
Existing law, on and after January 1, , limits this authority to invest surplus funds to investments in certificates of deposit. This bill would extend the existing temporary authority for a local agency to invest its surplus funds, in certificates of deposit or in another form of investment, until January 1, , and for that time period, would remove a limitation on the percentage of local agency funds that may be invested in certificates of deposit.
This bill would, on and after January 1, , indefinitely authorize a local agency to invest surplus funds to investments in certificates of deposit, as specified.
