WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested party, or their duly authorized rep - resentative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to the contact person listed below. Michelle La Grandeur, Chief Policy Division State Personnel Board 801 Capitol Mall Sacramento, CA 95814 Email: michelle.lagrandeur@spb.ca.gov The written comment period closes on June 10, 2024.

Only written comments received by that time shall be reviewed and considered by the Board before it adopts, amends, or repeals a regulation. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The Board proposes to amend sections 438, 438.1, 442, and 548.130 of Title 2,

Chapter 1 of the California Code of Regulations pursuant to the authority vested in it by the California Constitution,

article VII, sec - tion 3, and Government Code sections 18502, 18701, and 19050.8. The proposed regulation will implement, interpret, and make specific the provisions of the Cal- ifornia Constitution,

article 7,

section 3, and Govern - ment Code sections 18500, 18546, 18547, 19050.3, 19050.8, and 19401. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Board is a constitutional body responsible for enforcing California’s civil service statutes. (Cal. Const.,

article VII, §§ 1, subdivision (b), & 3; Gov. Code, § 18660.) In addition, the Board, by majority vote of all its members, prescribes probationary peri - ods and classifications, adopts other rules authorized by statute, and reviews disciplinary actions imposed against state employees. (Ibid.) Regulations adopted by the Board are exempt from the Administrative Procedure Act, except as expressly specified. (Gov. Code, §§ 18211, 18215, & 18216.) The amendments will ensure that California Code of Regulations related to interjurisdictional employ - ee exchanges are consistent with current Government Code.

In reviewing other state regulations, the Board found that the instant regulatory proposal is consistent and compatible with existing state regulations. FISCAL IMPACT ON PUBLIC AGENCIES ● Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 482 ● Cost to any local agency or school district that must be reimbursed in accordance with Govern - ment Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. ● Cost or savings to any State agency: None. ● Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. ● Cost or savings in federal funding to the State: None. SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS None.

ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS ● Significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses including the abili - ty of California businesses to compete with busi - nesses in other states: None. ● Effect on small business: None. The proposed regulations only set standards related to tempo - rary assignments. Accordingly, it has been de - termined that the adoption of the proposed reg - ulations would not affect small businesses in any way.

COST IMPACT ON A REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSON OR BUSINESS The agency is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would nec - essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro - posed action since the regulatory change only impacts the temporary assignments within state civil service. RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT Adoption of these regulations will not: 1. Create or eliminate jobs within California. 2. Create new businesses or eliminate existing busi- nesses within California. 3. Affect the expansion of businesses currently do - ing business within California. 4.

Affect worker safety or the state’s environment. The adoption of these regulations, however, will have a positive impact on the general health and wel - fare of California residents in that the benefits of this regulatory action create a fair, equitable, and consis - tent process for the civil service selection process.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The Board must determine that no reasonable alter - natives it has considered or that have been otherwise identified and brought to the attention of the Board would be more effective in carrying out the purpos - es for which the instant action is proposed, or would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE FUEL SPECIFICATIONS AND LABELING OF NATURAL GAS The California Department of Food and Agriculture (Department) proposes to adopt California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 4, Sections 4192.1 and 4192.2 relating to fuel quality specification requirements for natural gas used as motor vehicle fuel. The Depart - ment proposes to amend CCR Title 4,

Section 4206 relating to labeling requirements for natural gas mo - tor vehicle fuel dispensers. The Department also pro - poses to relocate Federal Trade Commission (FTC) natural gas motor vehicle fuel dispenser labeling re - quirements from CCR Title 4,

Section 4207 to Sec - tion 4206. PUBLIC HEARING The Department did not

schedule a public hearing. One will be scheduled if any interested person or his or her duly authorized representative submits a writ - ten request to the Department no later than 15 calen - dar days prior to the close of the written comment pe - riod. Address the request for a hearing to the primary contact person below. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person or his or her authorized rep - resentative may submit to the Department written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action by email, fax, or mail addressed to the primary con - tact person listed below.

Please include “Fuel Speci - fications and Labeling of Natural Gas” in the subject line of any email, fax, or letter regarding this rulemak- ing. The written comment period begins on April 26, 2024, and closes at 5:00 p.m. on June 11, 2024. AUTHORITY/REFERENCE The secretary of the Department is granted author - ity to adopt such regulations as is reasonably neces - sary to carry out the provisions of Division 5 of the Business and Professions Code (BPC)

Section 12027. Pursuant to BPC

Section 13440, the Department is re- quired to establish specifications for automotive spark– ignition engine fuels and to adopt by reference the lat- est standards established by a recognized consensus organization, i.e., ASTM International or SAE Inter - national. This includes natural gas motor vehicle fuels. BPC

Section 13440 further stipulates that natural gas motor vehicle fuels shall meet the latest specification set forth by ASTM International or the SAE Interna - tional. BPC

Section 13480(

a) requires that any person selling any motor vehicle fuel at retail must display a plainly visible statement that includes both the product name and grade designation. BPC

Section 13480(

c) re- quires the Department to adopt regulations as are rea - sonably necessary to define and enforce motor vehicle fuel antiknock index or other labeling requirements. BPC

Section 13484 requires that the displayed state - ments described in BPC

Section 13480 must be placed on each customer–facing side of a dispenser.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 484 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Natural Gas Fuel Quality Specifications Currently, BPC

Section 13440 requires that the De- partment establish fuel specifications for natural gas sold as a motor vehicle fuel and adopt by reference the latest specifications set forth by ASTM Interna - tional or SAE International. The Department has yet to adopt fuel specifications for natural gas sold as mo- tor vehicle fuel. On May 4, 2021, ASTM Internation - al published ASTM D8080 Standard Specification for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natu - ral Gas (LNG) Used as a Motor Vehicle Fuel.

Addi- tionally, on July 17, 2023, ASTM International pub - lished ASTM D8487 Standard Specification for Nat - ural Gas, Hydrogen Blends for Use as a Motor Vehi - cle Fuel. With this rulemaking and pursuant to BPC

Section 13440, the Department proposes to adopt and incorporate by reference the latest versions of ASTM D8080 and D8487 with the exception that natural gas motor vehicle fuel must not be sold with a total sulfur content of more than 16 parts per million by volume (ppmv) to remain consistent with existing state law. CNG and LNG Dispenser Labeling Requirements In 2018, the Department adopted interim labeling requirements for CNG and LNG motor vehicle fuel dispensers in CCR

Section 4206, and Federal Trade Commission fuel rating label requirements in CCR

Section 4207. These requirements are not compati - ble with the proposed adoption of ASTM D8080 and D8487. With this rulemaking and pursuant to BPC Sections 13480 and 13484, the Department propos - es to adopt new labeling requirements that align with ASTM D8080 and D8487 and to relocate and consoli - date the FTC labeling requirements into

Section 4206. The Department proposes to limit the fuel grade des - ignations as determined in ASTM D8080 and D8487. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation Adoption and enforcement of ASTM D8080 and D8487 by the Department will immediately benefit owners of CNG and LNG vehicles because the fuel that meets either of these specifications sold at retail will help assure these vehicle owners that it will not im - pair their vehicle’s engine performance and durability.

Fuel grade labeling requirements will give customers a benchmark of comparison when choosing a natural gas fuel that meets their specific engine performance requirements. Updating and clarifying fuel grade and unit price labeling requirements further helps custom- ers make informed value–based decisions. Adopting both fuel specifications will permit the sale of a larger variety of natural gas fuels and allow for higher levels of hydrogen in retail–available natu - ral gas fuel.

This may benefit natural gas producers be- cause blending in hydrogen produced from renewable resources could improve natural gas marketability in a future energy market focused on decarbonization. Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations The Department has determined that this proposal is consistent and compatible with existing California regulations.

DOCUMENT INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE This proposed rulemaking will adopt and incorpo - rate by reference the latest versions of ASTM D8080 Standard Specification for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Used as a Motor Vehicle Fuel and ASTM D8487 Standard Spec- ification for Natural Gas, Hydrogen Blends for Use as a Motor Vehicle Fuel, in accordance wi th B PC Sec- tion 13440. These documents are under copyright by ASTM International and the latest versions are avail - able for purchase at https://www.astm.org/d8080–21. html and https://www.astm.org/d8487–23.html.

MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) adopts CNG/ LNG motor vehicle fuel dispenser labeling require - ments in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 16,

Section 306.12 for LNG and Sections 309.15 and 309.17 for CNG. The Department has already adopted the FTC labeling requirements for CNG and LNG mo- tor vehicle fuel. However, there is no federal require - ment that the State of California adopt a fuel specifi - cation for natural gas motor vehicle fuel. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS No other statutory requirements apply to this pro - posed rulemaking.

LOCAL MANDATE/FISCAL IMPACT/ HOUSING COSTS The Department determined that this proposed regulation: 1. does not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts; 2. does not incur costs to any local agency or school district requiring reimbursement pursuant to Government Code Sections 17500 et seq.; 3. does not incur costs or savings to any state agency; 4. does not incur other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies;

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 485 5. does not incur costs or savings in federal funding to the state; and 6. does not have a significant effect on housing costs. STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT The Department determined that the proposed reg - ulation will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting California busi - nesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS The Department determined that the proposed regulation: 1. does not create or eliminate jobs in California; 2. does not create new businesses or eliminate exist- ing businesses in California; and 3. does not affect the expansion of businesses in California. The proposed regulation simply adopts natural gas fuel specifications and updates CNG/LNG dispenser labeling requirements that result in businesses incur - ring a nominal cost to meet regulatory compliance.

This proposed regulation does not provide any path - ways, barricades, or incentives to the expansion of businesses or to the creation or elimination of jobs and businesses. Other Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation Compared to other fossil–based motor vehicle fu - els such as gasoline and diesel, natural gas fuels are a lower–carbon alternative fuel with significantly low - er pollution forming emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Continued support of low–carbon alternative fuels will help in the reduction of GHG emissions as California transitions to a net–zero car - bon future.

Furthermore, lowering emissions pro - motes public health by improving air quality, particu - larly for communities located near high–traffic trans - port corridors. This reduction in emissions is further attained by increasing the concentration of hydrogen blended into natural gas. Water is the only emission of hydrogen combustion. Another benefit of natural gas fuels is that they can be produced from renew - able biomass–based sources such as capturing and re - finement of emissions from dairies.

Renewable natu - ral gas (RNG) can be wholly used as motor vehicle fuel or blended with non–renewable natural gas fuel and can help further reduce GHG and pollution form - ing emissions. COST IMPACTS ON A REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSON OR BUSINESS The Department is aware of cost impacts that a representative business, affected by this rulemaking, would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. The proposed regulation protects the interests of and does not incur addition - al costs to private persons who use natural gas to fuel their natural gas vehicles.

The Department does not anticipate any costs or savings to private persons who purchase natural gas motor vehicle fuel. BUSINESS REPORTING No reporting requirements apply to this proposed rulemaking. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The Department is not aware of any small business- es involved in the retail sale of natural gas motor vehi- cle fuel to the public. The Department is not aware of any financial cost or benefit impacts that representa - tive small businesses would incur to reasonably com - ply with the proposed regulation. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES Government Code

Section 11346.5(a)(13) requires the Department to determine that no reasonable alter - native it considered or that has otherwise been identi - fied and brought to its attention would be more effec - tive in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private per - sons and equally effective in implementing the statu - tory policy or other provision of law.

The Department invites interested persons to pres - ent statements or arguments with respect to alterna - tives to the proposed regulation at the scheduled pub - lic hearing or during the written comment period.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 487 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW

Summary of Existing Laws and Regulations: Prior to the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 1384, state law imposed no requirements on licensees regarding the maintenance of a digital video and audio surveil - lance system. Effective January 1, 2024, SB 1384 re - quires licensees to install a digital video and audio surveillance system outside their business, including permanently mounted interior and exterior cameras that: record 24 hours a day; record audio inside the premise; and has a visible timestamp with the date and time.

The new law also requires licensees to maintain the recordings for a minimum of one year in a manner that protects them from tampering or theft.

SB 1384 also requires licensees to certify that their digital vid - eo and audio surveillance system is in proper working order when annually renewing their continued place - ment on the Department’s Centralized List of Fire - arms Dealers. (Penal Code, § 26806, subdivision (d)) Effect of the Proposed Rulemaking: This proposed regulation updates the procedure for licensees’ annual renewal for placement on the De - partment’s Centralized List of Firearms Dealers to in- clude certification to the Department that a digital vid- eo and audio surveillance system is in proper working order and complies with the requirements set forth in Penal Code

section 26806. The proposed regulation also updates the process applicants must follow to apply for placement on the Centralized List. Assembly Bill (AB) 28 (stats. 2023,

chapter 231) amended Penal Code

Section 26705, sub- division (b), to update the seller permit requirement by replacing “Board of Equalization” with “Califor - nia Department and Fee Administration (CDTFA).” AB 28 also added a new requirement for placement on the Centralized List. Commencing July 1, 2024, appli- cant must provide a valid certificate of registration is - sued pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code

section 36036. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations: This rulemaking action will enhance public safety by implementing security standards for licensed fire - arms dealers in California. Prior to SB 1384, no state laws imposed requirements on licensees regarding the maintenance of a digital video and audio surveillance system.

The proposed regulation will ensure that licensees meet their obligation to have a digital vid - eo and audio surveillance system in proper working order by providing annual certification to the Depart - ment as a condition of their continued placement on the Department’s Centralized List of Firearms Deal - ers.

If the licensee fails to provide the annual certifica- tion or timely renew their license, the licensee shall be removed from the Centralized List, lose access to the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) Entry System (DES), and be prohibited from submitting new DROS trans - actions (Penal Code, § 26715, subdivision (b)(3)). Comparable Federal Regulations: There are no existing federal regulations or statutes comparable to these proposed regulations.

Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: The Department has determined that these pro - posed regulations are not inconsistent or incompati - ble with existing State regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that relate to or affect this area, the Department has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern licensees’ annual certifi- cation to the Department that a digital video and audio surveillance system is in place and in proper working order at their business. Forms Incorporated by Reference: None. Other Statutory Requirements: None.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department’s Initial Determinations: Mandate on local agencies or school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: Th e D e p a rt- ment estimates $177,000 in additional expenditures for the current Fiscal Year to implement the certifica - tion requirement by updating regulations and admin - istrative and technology processes. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies: None.

Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Cost impacts on representative person or business: The Department is not aware of any new cost impacts that a representative private person or business will necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Significant effect on housing costs: None.

Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di - rectly affecting businesses, including ability to com - pete: The Department has made an initial determina - tion that the proposed action will not have a signifi - cant, statewide adverse economic impact directly af - fecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. Results of the Economic Impact Assessment (EIA): The Department concludes that it is (1) unlikely that the proposed regulation will create or eliminate jobs

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 488 within the state, (2) unlikely that the proposed regula- tion will create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within the state, (3) unlikely that the pro - posed regulation will result in the expansion of busi - nesses currently doing business within the state. The Department also concludes that:

(1) The proposed regulation will benefit the health and welfare of California residents by updating the initial and annual procedure for licensees to renew their placement on the Department’s Cen - tralized List of Firearms Dealers. The annual pro- cedure now mandates licensees comply with state law and provide certification to the Department that their location has a digital video and audio surveillance system in proper working order. The regulation will protect public safety by imple - menting stronger firearms dealers’ security mea - sures, which helps curb gun store theft.

(2) The proposed regulation will not benefit worker safety because it does not regulate worker safety standards.

(3) The proposed regulation will not benefit the state’s environment because it does not change any applicable environmental standards. Business report requirement: None. Small business determination: The Department has determined that this proposed regulation does not af - fect small businesses because licensees are current - ly required to submit a hard copy, via United States mail, of the annual renewal form BOF 4080 and pay the annual renewal fee by January 31 of each year for continued placement on the Department’s Centralized List of Firearms Dealers.

The Department will now mail annual renewal application forms to replace BOF 4080. The Department will mail Centralized List of Firearms Dealers and Dealer Inspection Program An - nual Renewal Fee Transmittal and Certification No - tice (BOF/CL–0004), and a Centralized List of Fire - arms Dealers and Dealer Inspection Program Annual Renewal Fee Transmittal and Certification (BOF/CL– 0012), to all licensees. Licensees shall continue to have until January 31 of each year to submit their renewal applications and pay the annual renewal fee via United States Mail.

When completing the new form, licensees will be required to certify on form BOF/CL–0012 that their digital video and audio surveillance system is in proper working order and complies with state law. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), the Department must de- termine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Department would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed or would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the pro - posed action or would be more cost–effective to affect- ed private persons and equally effective in implement- ing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The proposed regulation requires licensees to pro - vide necessary information on forms prescribed by the Department. Prescribing forms is the easiest way to make sure that licensees provide all required infor - mation, including certifying they are complying with state law by having a digital video and audio surveil - lance system in proper working order. This is the most efficient way to ensure the licensees provide all re - quired information. Licensees are already required to fill out a form to annually renew their placement on the Department’s Centralized List of Firearms Dealers.

TITLE 13. DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES The Department of Motor Vehicles (department) proposes to amend

Section 82.00 in

Article 2.3, Chap- ter 1, Division 1, Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, related to Insurance Cards. PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing regarding this proposed regulato - ry action is not scheduled. However, a public hearing will be held if any interested person or his or her duly authorized representative requests a public hearing to be held relevant to the proposed action by submitting a written request to the contact person identified in this notice no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the close of the written comment period.

DEADLINE FOR WRITTEN COMMENTS Any interested party or his or her duly authorized representative may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulations to the contact person iden- tified in this notice. All written comments must be re - ceived at the department no later than June 10, 2024, the final day of the written comment period, in order for them to be considered by the department before it adopts the proposed regulation.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The department proposes to adopt/amend/repeal these regulations under the authority granted by Ve - hicle Code sections 1651, 4000.37, and 16020, in order to implement, interpret, or make specific Vehicle Code sections 4000.37, 16020, and 16056. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Vehicle Code

section 16020 requires all drivers and owners of a motor vehicle to be able to establish finan- cial responsibility and carry in the vehicle evidence of the form of financial responsibility in effect for the vehicle. Upon application for renewal of vehicle reg - istration, Vehicle Code

section 4000.37 requires the applicant to submit a form approved by the depart - ment, but issued by the insurer, as evidence of finan - cial responsibility. Currently,

Section 82.00 in

Article 2.3, Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations, establishes the uniform format of an evidence of liability insurance document and provides a sample image of an approved insurance document. The department is amending

Section 82.00 to allow insurance companies greater flexibility when developing their insurance document while also retaining the information requirements of Vehicle Code

section 4000.37. Due to the increased availability of services through mobile devices, the department is also including language that ensures ev- idence of liability offered on a mobile device will con- tain the same information that is required on a paper insurance card. BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED REGULATION The department anticipates this action will benefit insurance companies that will be able to provide pol -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 490 icy holders written proof of financial responsibility in a format of their own choosing to satisfy Vehicle Code

section 16028 requirements, and will benefit insured drivers in California by ensuring consistent informa - tion will be available whether the insurance informa - tion is on a paper insurance card or through a mobile device. CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH STATE REGULATIONS The department has conducted a review of other state regulations and has determined that this action is neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.

COMPARABLE FEDERAL STATUTES OR STATE REGULATIONS The department is the only state entity responsible for identifying the contents of the evidence of liabili - ty insurance card. Therefore, there are no comparable federal statutes or regulations. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no documents incorporated by reference.

ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT DETERMINATIONS The department has made the following initial de - terminations concerning the proposed regulatory action: ● Cost or Savings to Any State Agency: None. ● Other Non–Discretionary Cost or Savings to Lo - cal Agencies: None. ● Costs or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. ● Effects on Housing Costs: None. ● Cost to any local agency or school district re - quiring reimbursement pursuant to Gov. Code

section 17500 et seq.: None. ● Cost Impact on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: The proposed regulatory text does not impact private persons. The amended rule identifies the information required to appear on an evidence of liability insurance card. There is no cost impact on businesses.

The rule is amend - ed to remove outdated form content requirements and ensures that vehicle insurance companies can continue to use the document they are currently providing to customers. ● Small Business Impact: This amendment may im- pact small businesses. ● Local Agency/School District Mandate: The pro- posed regulatory action will not impose a man - date on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate that requires reimbursement pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Divi- sion 4 of the Government Code. ● Significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the abil - ity of California businesses to compete with busi- nesses in other states: This proposed action iden- tifies information requirements for an evidence of liability form that is provided to drivers in California. This action will not have a signifi - cant statewide adverse economic impact affect - ing businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT The department has made the following determina - tions when assessing the economic impact associated with this proposed regulation: The department has made the initial determination that this action will not impact, 1) the creation or elim- ination of jobs within the State of California, 2) the creation or elimination of existing businesses within the State of California, 3) the expansion of business - es currently doing business within the State of Cali - fornia, or 4) worker safety or the state’s environment.

The department does not anticipate any specific benefit other than potential non–monetary benefits by ensuring this rule aligns with business practices fol - lowed by insurance companies during the time they have been providing electronic insurance updates to the department. PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS A pre–notice workshop, pursuant to Government Code

section 11346.45, is not required because the is- sues addressed in the proposal are not so complex or large in number that they cannot easily be reviewed during the comment period. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the department would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, or

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 491 would be effective as and less burdensome to affect - ed private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provisions of law.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Currently, the Developmental Disability Program (DDP) is described in the Clark Remedial Plan, which is the result of the Clark vs. California settlement or- der and various agreements between the department and plaintiffs. This remedial plan concerns the care and treatment of inmates with developmental dis - abilities.

The proposed regulatory action provides for equal opportunities for developmentally disabled in - mates and will bring the department into compliance with the Clark v. California settlement order by es - tablishing policies for immediate and ongoing compli- ance with provisions of the Americans with Disabili - ties Act (ADA). Revisions provide for the identifica - tion, classification, housing, protection, and nondis - crimination of inmates in the DDP.

Inmates will be as- sessed to determine their DDP designation level, and they will be provided with adaptive support services commensurate with their adaptive support needs. No qualified inmate with a disability, because of that dis - ability, shall be subjected to discrimination or be de - nied the benefits of programs, services, or activities of the department. This action will: ● Provide for new

definitions in

section 3000 re - lated to the Developmental Disability Program (DDP). ● Establish that library staff shall provide orienta - tion to inmates in the DDP for the law library and other library services. ● Require that staff meet privately with inmates in the DDP with potential victimization concerns, to query for possible victimization. ● Incorporate by reference, into Title 15, Division 3, four new CDCR Forms: CDCR Form 128C–2 (Rev. 01/24), Developmental Disability Program Adaptive Supports Screening Results; CDCR Form 200–A (01/24), Developmental Disability Program Adaptive Support Log — Housing Unit; CDCR Form 200–B (01/24), Developmental Dis- ability Program Adaptive Support Log — Work/ School; and CDCR Form 0201 (01/24), Con - demned Incarcerated Persons — Waiver of De - velopmental Disability Program Screening and Inclusion.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 493 ● Establish new

section 3269.5 for DDP Housing, which will take into account an inmate in the DDP’s safety when making housing determina - tions. Inmates in the DDP shall not be housed with inmates with a history of sexual or predato - ry behavior. ● Establish new

section 3312.1, Disciplinary Meth- ods for Inmates in the DDP, which requires staff to take into consideration the inmate in the DDP’s adaptive support needs as they relate to the misconduct. ● Add language regarding the Staff Assistant (SA), which is mandatory for all inmates in the DDP. New language specifies the duties that the SA shall assist the inmate in the DDP with. ● Establish new

section 3335.1, Restricted Housing for Inmates in the DDP, which provides that in - mates in the DDP shall be provided their adap - tive support services regardless of their housing setting. ● Establish new

Article 9.1, Developmental Disabil- ity Program, and sections 3369.5 through 3369.13, which set forth provisions regarding the DDP such as: general policy, DDP categories, screen - ing and processing, adaptive support services, in- terdisciplinary support team, work and program assignments, and academic assignments. ● Establish new

section 3376.2, Classification of In- mates in the DDP, ensuring that inmates in the DDP are not exposed to a significant risk of harm, abuse, or harassment. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE CDCR Form 128C–2 (Rev. 01/24), Developmental Disability Program Adaptive Supports Screening Results. CDCR Form 200–A (01/24), Developmental Disabil - ity Program Adaptive Support Log — Housing Unit. CDCR For 200–B (01/24), Developmental Disability Program Adaptive Support Log — Work/School. CDCR Form 0201 (01/24), Condemned Incarcerated Persons — Waiver of Developmental Disability Program Screening and Inclusion.

SPECIFIC BENEFITS ANTICIPATED BY THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS The proposed regulatory amendments will provide for equity, inclusivity, and nondiscrimination of de - velopmentally disabled inmates. Revisions to state - wide standardized practices will allow for inmates in the Developmental Disability Program (DDP) to have equal access and opportunity to participate in pro - grams, services, and activities within the department. By providing inmates in the DDP with their adaptive support needs, it will help provide an even playing field so that they are able to function and perform to the best of their ability.

For inmates in the DDP, safety will be enhanced by ensuring their appropriate hous - ing, and that they are monitored for any victimization concerns. Lastly, the proposed regulations will pro - vide compliance with existing court orders and evolv- ing ADA law. EVALUATION OF INCONSISTENCY/ INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING LAWS AND REGULATIONS Pursuant to Government Code 11346.5(a)(3)(D), the department has determined the proposed regulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with existing reg- ulations.

After conducting a review for any regula - tions that would relate to or affect this area, the depart- ment has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern the Developmental Disability Program. LOCAL MANDATES This action imposes no mandates on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate which requires reim - bursement of costs or savings pursuant to Government Code Sections 17500–17630.

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT ● Cost or savings to any state agency: None. ● Cost to any local agency or school district that is required to be reimbursed: None. ● Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. ● Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS The department has made an initial determination that the proposed action will have no significant effect on housing costs.

COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES The department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 494 SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS The department has made an initial determination that the proposed regulations will not have a signifi - cant statewide adverse economic impact directly af - fecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states, because the proposed regulations place no obligations or requirements on any business. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES The department has determined that the proposed regulations will not affect small businesses.

This ac - tion has no significant adverse economic impact on small business because they place no obligations or requirements on any business. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The department has determined that the proposed regulation will have no effect on the creation of new, or the elimination of existing, jobs or businesses with- in California, or effect the expansion of businesses currently doing business in California. The depart - ment has determined that the proposed regulation will have no effect on the state’s environment or worker safety.

The welfare of CDCR inmates in the DDP may benefit by allowing for them to be treated with equi - ty, inclusivity, and nondiscrimination, and protecting them from harassment or discrimination, which will preserve their dignity and self–esteem.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the department would be more effective in carry - ing out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affect - ed private persons than the proposed regulatory ac - tion, or would be more cost–effective to affected pri - vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provisions of law.

Interest - ed persons are invited to present statements or argu - ments with respect to any alternatives to the changes proposed at the scheduled hearing or during the writ - ten comment period. AVAILABILITY OF PROPOSED TEXT AND INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS The department has prepared and will make avail - able the text and the Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) of the proposed regulations.

The rulemaking file for this regulatory action, which contains those items and all information on which the proposal is based (i.e., rulemaking file) is available to the public upon request directed to the department’s contact per- son. The proposed text, ISOR, and Notice of Proposed Regulations will also be made available on the depart- ment’s website: www.cdcr.ca.gov. AVAILABILITY OF THE FINAL STATEMENT OF REASONS Following its preparation, a copy of the Final State- ment of Reasons may be obtained from the depart - ment’s contact person.

AVAILABILITY OF CHANGES TO PROPOSED TEXT After considering all timely and relevant comments received, the department may adopt the proposed reg- ulations substantially as described in this Notice. If the department makes modifications which are suffi - ciently related to the originally proposed text, it will make the modified text, with the changes clearly indi- cated, available to the public for at least 15 days before the department adopts, amends, or repeals the regula - tions as revised. Requests for copies of any modified regulation text should be directed to the contact per - son indicated in this Notice.

The department will ac - cept written comments on the modified regulations for at least 15 days after the date on which they are made available. TITLE 22. EMPLOYMENT DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FAMILY TEMPORARY DISABILITY INSURANCE — QUALIFYING EXIGENCY The Employment Development Department (Department) proposes to amend California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 22, Sections 2706–1, 2706– 2, 3302–1, and 3303.1(a)–1.

The amendments would assist in the Department’s administration and imple - mentation of Senate Bill 1123 (Chapter 849, Statutes of 2018), which adds a new eligibility component to the Paid Family Leave program, as well as clarify the claimant identification and wage verification process for claimants applying for State Disability Insurance benefits. The Department will amend these regulations after considering all comments, objections, or recommen - dations regarding the proposed regulatory action.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 495 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Department administers the State Disability Insurance (SDI) program. The SDI program was es - tablished in 1946 to provide a partial wage replace - ment benefit to eligible workers in California who are unable to work due to a non–work–related illness or injury. Senate Bill (SB) 1661 (Chapter 901, Statutes 2002) added the Family Temporary Disability Insurance (FTDI) benefit to the California Unemployment In - surance Code (CUIC).

The FTDI benefit, otherwise known as Paid Family Leave (PFL), expanded the scope of the SDI program to provide a partial wage replacement benefit to eligible workers who take time off work to care for a seriously ill eligible family mem- ber or to bond with a new child. SB 1123 (Chapter 849, Statutes of 2018) added a new eligibility component to the PFL program.

SB 1123 al- lows employees to take time off work to participate in a qualifying exigency related to a covered active duty or call to covered active duty of the employee’s child, spouse, domestic partner, or parent in the Armed Forces of the United States (AFUS). SB 1123 address- es the military member on covered active duty or call to covered active duty with a unique need for assis - tance or participation from an eligible family mem - ber in California’s workforce. This new law became effective January 1, 2019, but the relevant provisions had a delayed operative date of January 1, 2021.

As - sembly Bill (AB) 2399 (Chapter 348, Statutes of 2020) clarified

definitions in the CUIC that are relevant to administering the military exigency leave pursuant to SB 1123. On January 1, 2021, SB 1123 expanded the scope of the PFL program to include time off work to partici - pate in a qualifying exigency related to the covered ac- tive duty or call to covered active duty of the individ - ual’s spouse, domestic partner, child, or parent in the AFUS.

When an employee for the first time requests leave because of a qualifying exigency arising out of the covered active duty or call to covered active duty, or notification of an impending call or order to covered active duty, of the employee’s spouse, domestic part - ner, child, or parent in the AFUS, SB 1123 provides that the Department may require the employee to pro- vide documentation, such as a copy of the covered ac- tive duty orders or other documentation issued by the military that indicates that the employee’s spouse, do- mestic partner, child, or parent is in the AFUS, is on covered active duty or call to covered active duty, and the dates of the covered active duty service.

This regulatory package would solve the problem of implementing SB 1123 by providing amendments to the regulations allowing the Department to administer SB 1123’s new eligibility component. This regulatory package would, in part, solve the problem of incorporating and implementing the new eligibility component and administrative require - ments of SB 1123 into the Department’s regulatory provisions.

The proposed regulatory amendments to Title 22, Sections 2706–2, 3302–1, and 3303.1(a)–1 of the CCR would, in part: ● Update existing and identify new elements for a properly completed initial or continued claim for PFL benefits due to participation in a qualifying exigency ● Update relevant

definitions of terms for consis - tency pursuant to AB 2399 and SB 1123 ● Add

definitions of the terms “military assist claim,” “military member,” and “qualifying event” that are necessary to determine claimant’s eligibility for PFL benefits due to participation in a qualifying exigency ● Provide examples of claimant’s eligibility for PFL benefits due to participation in a qualifying exi - gency for clarity purposes Beyond SB 1123, the proposed regulatory amend - ments to Title 22, Sections 2706–1 and 2706–2 would remove the social security number verification lan - guage from Sections 2706–1 and 2706–2, which is enumerated in an identical manner in both sections.

The social security number verification language pro - vides the Department the discretion to verify social security numbers as those belonging to claimants. The claimant identity and wage verification process are more comprehensively explained in existing Title 22,

Section 2706–8, which currently applies to, and will continue to apply to, both Sections 2706–1 and 2706–2. The proposed regulatory amendments are necessary for compliance with and implementation of new obli - gations pursuant to SB 1123. The amendments would ensure the Department’s proper administration of the SDI program, which includes the proper administra - tion of claimant identity and wage verification, and would achieve SB 1123’s goal of providing benefits to claimants who participate in a qualifying exigency re- lated to the covered active duty or call to covered ac - tive duty.

ANTICIPATED BENEFITS FROM THE PROPOSED REGULATION The anticipated benefits from this proposed regu - latory action would support the Department’s admin - istration of PFL by codifying the new eligibility ele - ments and the related

definitions into existing regu -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 496 lations, providing consistency with the statutory au - thority for determining eligibility for benefits as es - tablished by SB 1123, and strengthening the Depart - ment’s regulatory authority when making eligibility determinations, including claimant identity and wage verification. This regulatory action would clarify existing defini- tions to include reference to military members on cov- ered active duty or call to covered active duty in the AFUS and add

definitions of terms related to partici - pation in a qualifying exigency to align with SB 1123. Also, the proposed regulatory action would make clear the identity and wage verification process for claim - ants applying for SDI benefits by removing the discre- tionary social security number verification language to align with existing claimant identity and wage ver - ification process that is delineated in the regulations.

Furthermore, the proposed regulatory action bene - fits the health and welfare of California residents by supporting the new eligibility component pursuant to SB 1123 and would offer families of members of the military relief from the challenges of deployment by permitting them to participate in a qualifying exigen - cy. For example, military assist benefits can be used by an eligible California worker to make legal, childcare, and parental care arrangements and to attend military– sponsored events while their family member is de - ployed or getting ready to deploy.

DETERMINATION OF INCONSISTENCY/ INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS The Department has determined that this proposed regulatory action is not inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. After conducting a re - view for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, the Department has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern the Family Tempo - rary Disability Insurance — Qualifying exigency. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Sections 305 and 306, Unemployment Insurance Code. Sections 2701.5, 2706 and 3303.1, Unemployment Insurance Code.

ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT Anticipated costs or savings in federal funding to the State: None. Anticipated costs or savings to any State Agency: The Department is the state agency responsible for ad- ministering SDI and, therefore, the new exigency leave component of PFL pursuant to SB 1123. The Depart - ment anticipates $111,785 in initial costs and $600,000 per year for the subsequent years to implement its obli- gations pursuant to SB 1123.

The Disability Branch of the Department estimates $111,785 of that amount to implement its obligations pursuant to SB 1123, which includes the cost to develop business requirements for the programming efforts; update forms and publica - tions; update information on the Department website; update manuals and procedures for staff; and provide training to staff regarding SB 1123 requirements.

The remaining anticipated costs to the EDD derive from the necessary technological programming changes to the Department’s databases and systems that will be carried out by the Information Technology Branch of the Department in order to implement its obligations pursuant to SB 1123, which includes project man - agement, development, testing, implementation, and stabilization. The Department anticipates a cost of $600,000 per year for the subsequent years. This is the cost for the amount of time required for six Disabili - ty Insurance Program Representative positions to pro- cess the increased workload.

Anticipated costs or savings to any local agency or school district: The proposed regulations will not have significant anticipated costs or savings any local agency or school district. Anticipated non–discretionary costs or savings imposed upon local agencies: The proposed reg - ulations will not have significant anticipated non– discretionary imposed upon local agencies.

Significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states: The Department has made the deter - mination that the proposed regulatory action will not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

Results of the economic impact assessment: The Department has made the determination that the pro - posed regulatory action will not significantly affect the creation or elimination of jobs within the State of Cal- ifornia, the creation of new businesses or the elimi - nation of existing businesses within the State of Cal - ifornia, or the expansion of businesses currently do -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 17–Z 497 ing business within the State of California. This is be- cause businesses do not pay for the SDI benefits of their employees. The SDI program is funded through a payroll deduction from employees’ wages. Business- es will continue to withhold and send SDI contribu - tions of their employee(

s) to the Department. SDI con- tributions are deposited into a dedicated fund that is used to pay benefits to eligible employees and finance the program’s operating costs. Businesses may likely have costs of approximately $74.58 to comply with SB 1123, and, in turn, to comply with the proposed regu - latory action that administers SB 1123.

The proposed regulatory action benefits the health and welfare of California residents by supporting the new eligibility component pursuant to SB 1123 and would offer relief to families of members of the mili - tary from the challenges of deployment by permitting them to participate in a qualifying exigency. For ex - ample, military assist benefits can be used by an eli - gible California worker to make legal, childcare, and parental care arrangements and to attend military– sponsored events while their family member is de - ployed or getting ready to deploy.

The proposed regu- latory action will assist in the administration of PFL by providing required elements when filing a PFL claim to participate in qualifying exigency, defining related terms and providing consistency with existing regula - tions and the provisions of SB 1123. The Department has made the determination that the proposed regula - tory action does not affect worker safety and the state’s environment.

The cost impact on representative private per - sons or businesses: As stated above, the Department has determined a cost of approximately $74.58 for businesses to comply with SB 1123 and, in turn, com- ply with the proposed regulatory action that adminis - ters SB 1123. The cost includes the time a business al- locates for communicating with an employee who has filed for the leave, reviewing and responding to EDD correspondence if needed, and updating the employ - ee’s personnel forms, if any.

Small business impact: The Department has de - termined that the proposed regulatory action will not have a significant impact on small businesses, as the exigency leave pursuant to SB 1123 is paid for by em- ployee contributions to the SDI program. A small busi- ness will continue to withhold and send SDI contribu- tions of its employee(

s) to the Department. A small business may have a cost of approximately $40.30 to comply with SB 1123, and, in turn, comply with the proposed regulatory action that administers SB 1123. The cost includes the time a small business allocates for communicating with an employee who has filed for the leave, reviewing and responding to EDD cor - respondence if needed, and updating the employee’s personnel forms, if any. LOCAL MANDATE DETERMINATION The Department has determined that the proposed regulatory action will not impose any new mandates on school districts or other local governmental agen - cies or any mandates which must be reimbursed by the State pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500), Division 4 of the Government Code. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with

section 11346.5(a)(13) of the Government Code, the Department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the agen- cy or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the agency would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is pro - posed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private per - sons and equally effective in implementing the statu - tory policy or other provision of law.
