CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 497 PROPOSED ACTION ON REGULATIONS Information contained in this document is published as received from agencies and is not edited by Thomson Reuters. TITLE 2. STATE ALLOCATION BOARD THE STATE ALLOCATION BOARD PROPOSES TO AMEND REGULATION

SECTION 1700, CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, RELATING TO SURPLUS SCHOOL PROPERTY; USE OF PROCEEDS; RETURN OF MONEYS FROM A STATE SCHOOL FACILITIES FUND PROGRAM NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the State Allocation Board (SAB) proposes to amend the above–referenced regulation

section contained in Title 2, California Code of Regulations (CCR). A public hearing is not scheduled. A public hearing will be held if any interested person, or his or her duly authorized representative, submits a written request for a public hearing to the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC) no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period.

Following the public hearing, if one is requested, or following the written comment period if no public hearing is requested, OPSC, at its own motion or at the instance of any interested person, may adopt the proposals substantially as set forth above without further notice. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE CITATIONS The SAB is proposing to amend the above– referenced regulation

section under the authority provided by Sections 17462, 17462.3 and 17463.7, Education Code and

Section 15490 of the Government Code. The proposal interprets and makes specific Sections 17462, 17462.3, 17463.7 and 17463.8 of the Education Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY OVERVIEW STATEMENT The SAB, at its meeting on September 30, 2020, adopted proposed regulatory amendments on an emergency basis relating to the use of site sale property proceeds. Senate Bill (SB) 98,

Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020 [Education finance: omnibus budget trailer bill] was chaptered June 29, 2020 and provided school districts with the resources and flexibilities necessary to provide quality education during the COVID–19 pandemic. SB 820,

Chapter 110, Statutes of 2020, [Education Finance: Education Omnibus Budget Trailer Bill] was chaptered September 18, 2020 and amended SB 98 by adding clarifying changes and flexibility to the School Facility Program (SFP). Attached to this Notice is the specific regulatory language of the proposed regulation.

The proposed regulation is accessible and can be reviewed on OPSC’s website at: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/OPSC/ Resources/Page–Content/Office–of–Public–School– Construction–Resources–List–Folder/Laws–and– Regulations, scroll down to the heading entitled “Use of School Property Proceeds,” and click on the 45–day Public Notice, Initial Statement of Reasons and the regulation text. Copies of the proposed regulation will be mailed to any person requesting this information by using OPSC’s contact information set forth below in this Notice. The proposed regulation implements Education Code

Section 17463.7 provisions into the existing Use of Surplus School Property Site Sale Proceeds regulations. Background and Problem Being Resolved In March 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N–25–20, which proclaimed a State of Emergency existed in California as a result of the threat of COVID–19. Since March, the threat of COVID–19 is still present. Counties are opening slowly based on the State’s tier system, which allows those school districts in those counties to open slowly and/or continue with online distance–learning.

However, there continues to be an impact on the public school system to maintain normal operations. School districts are running into issues, such as not having enough computer equipment to furnish students who are needing to attend school through online distance–learning. School districts are in need of additional financial resources in order to meet the needs to ensure a quality education for their students. OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, administers the Unused Site Program. As required by law, all school districts are required to report any unused school sites to the SAB annually.

The school districts self–certify requests for waivers and reduction of fees based on certain criteria outlined in Education Code

Section 17219. In addition, school districts are required to report any newly acquired, recently sold, or closed school sites. School districts’ governing boards that want to sell, or lease, for a term not exceeding 99 years, any real property belonging to the district can under existing law. Additionally, existing law specifies the conduct of these sales and leases, and the purposes for which

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 498 funds derived from these transactions may be used. SB 98,

Chapter 24, Statutes of 2020, as amended by SB 820,

Chapter 110, Statutes of 2020, added Education Code

Section 17463.7 (until July 1, 2024) to expand the purposes for which funds from those transactions may be used by authorizing a school district to deposit the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, purchased with nonstate funds, into the general fund of the school district and to use those proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose. Education Code

Section 17463.7 also requires a school district to take certain actions. Prior to transferring the proceeds into a school district’s general fund account, school districts must submit specific documents to the SAB for approval. OPSC performed a search on whether the proposed regulation was consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. After performing the search, OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, determined that both statutes (SB 98,

Chapter 24 and SB 820,

Chapter 110, Statutes of 2020) were created to add Education Code

Section 17463.7 and to clarify provisions in order to provide additional flexibilities to school districts under the SFP. There are no other programs or regulations in existence that address the circumstances. Therefore, the proposed regulatory amendments are determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. Proceeding with the implementation of the proposed regulation will expand flexibilities for school districts when determining the use of site sale proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations The proposed regulation adds Education Code

Section 17463.7 to the existing regulations for this Program for purposes of providing clarifying

definitions of “one–time expenditures” and “on–going expenditures.” This is an added benefit to school districts by allowing them to expand the purposes for which funds from the sale or lease of any real property belonging to the school district and the conduct of these sales and leases for which the funds derived from these transactions can be used.

School districts are authorized to deposit the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property and purchased with nonstate funds, into the general fund of the school district and to use the proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose. The proposed regulation is therefore determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. As stated above, OPSC performed a search on whether the proposed regulation was consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations.

After performing the search, OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, determined that there are no other programs or regulations in existence that address the circumstances. Therefore, the proposed regulation is determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. Proceeding with the implementation of the proposed regulation expands flexibilities for school districts when determining the use of site sale proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose. The proposed regulation does not impact California businesses and does not impact the creation of jobs.

The proposed regulation affords school districts expanded resources and flexibilities under the SFP in order to help them make financially sound decisions regarding one–time general fund purposes. It is not anticipated that the proposed regulation will result in the elimination of existing businesses or jobs within California.

Summary of the Proposed Regulation A

summary of the proposed regulation is as follows: Existing Regulation

Section 1700 represents a set of defined words and terms used exclusively for these regulations. The proposed amendments add Education Code

Section 17463.7 to the introduction of the

definitions

section because these

definitions also apply to

Section 17463.7. In addition, this same

section has been added to the authority and reference citations. There were no changes to existing Regulation Sections 1701 and 1702. After conducting a review, the SAB has concluded that these are the only regulations on this subject area and, therefore, the proposed regulation is neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State laws and regulations. The proposed regulation is within the SAB’s authority to enact regulations for the existing Use of Surplus School Property Site Sale Proceeds regulations. Statutory Authority and Implementation Education Code

Section 17070.35 states in part: “(

a) In addition to all other powers and duties as are granted to the board by this chapter, other statutes, or the California Constitution, the board shall do all of the following:

(1) Adopt rules and regulations, pursuant to the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act,

Chapter 3.5 (commencing with

Section 11340) of

Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, for the administration of this chapter….” Education Code

Section 17463.7 states in part: “(

a) Notwithstanding any other law, a school district may deposit the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, purchased with nonstate funds, into the general fund of the school district and may use the proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose…

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 499 … (

c) Before a school district exercises the authority granted pursuant to this section, the governing board of the school district shall first submit to the State Allocation Board documents certifying both of the following: (1) the sale of real property pursuant to this

section does not violate the provisions of a local bond act. (2) the real property is not suitable to meet projected school construction needs for the next 10 years. …” Determination of Inconsistency or Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations Previously, Education Code

Section 17463.7 existed in law from July 28, 2009 until January 1, 2016 when it was repealed. The law authorized the use of surplus real estate sale proceeds for one–time general fund purposes as long as the costs were not related to a school district’s ongoing operations. School districts were required to present a plan to its local governing board regarding the use of one–time expenditures and explain why these expenditures would not result in ongoing fiscal obligations for the school district.

School districts were ineligible for hardship funding under the State School Deferred Maintenance Program for a period of five years after the proceeds were deposited into the general fund. In addition, a school district’s SFP facility and financial hardship assistance was reduced by an amount equal to that of the school district’s one–time expenditure(s).

School districts were required to certify the following: ● That it had no major deferred maintenance needs; ● That the site sale did not violate local bond restrictions; and ● That the real property was not suitable to meet projected school construction needs for the next ten years. Education Code

Section 17462 currently authorizes school districts to deposit the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus real property, together with any personal property located on the property, into the general fund of the school district and to use the proceeds for any one–time general fund purpose. The regulations for this Program already exist. The information below provides a comparison governing the use of surplus site sale proceeds deposited into a school district’s governing fund based on the two Education Code Sections; 17462 and 17463.7: ● Under Education Code

Section 17462 ○ Source of Site Funding: Site can be purchased with state and/or local funds. ○ School Facility Program Funding: 1. Prohibited from participating in the SFP for five years. 2. Unable to apply for Facility Hardship and Financial Hardship funding. ○ Use of Funding: One–time Expenditures. ○ School Board Resolution Requirements: 1. No anticipated need for additional sites or construction for 10 years. 2. No major deferred maintenance requirements. 3. The sale does not violate local bond act provisions. ● Under Education Code

Section 17463.7 ○ Source of Site Funding: Site must have been purchased with nonstate funds. ○ School Facility Program Funding: 1. Not prohibited from participating in the SF P. 2. Unable to apply for Financial Hardship grant funding. ○ Use of Funding: One–time Expenditures. ○ School Board Resolution Requirements: 1. The site is not suitable to meet projected school construction needs for 10 years. 2. The sale does not violate local bond act provisions. School districts must take specific actions if they want to make use of Education Code

Section 17463.7 provisions such as the submission of the following: ● A letter to the Executive Officer of the SAB and the OPSC requesting authorization from the SAB to transfer site sale proceeds into the school district’s general fund account for a one–time general fund purpose; ● A school board resolution that includes specific criteria; ● A copy of the original site purchase agreement that details the original purchase price, the number of acres on the site, and the sources of funds used to purchase the site; ● Documentation of the number of acres being sold from the site.

The school district’s request must be presented to the SAB for approval prior to the funds being transferred by the school district. Education Code

Section 17463.7(

g) provides that the proceeds from the sale or lease of surplus property that were initiated before June 30, 2024 may also be deposited in accordance with statute. OPSC performed a search on whether the proposed regulation was consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. After performing the search, OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, has determined that that both statutes (SB 98,

Chapter 24 and SB 820,

Chapter 110, Statutes of 2020) were created to

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 500 add Education Code

Section 17463.7 and to clarify provisions in order to provide additional flexibilities to school districts under the SFP. There are no other programs or regulations in existence that address the circumstances. Therefore, the proposed regulation is determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. Proceeding with the implementation of the proposed regulation will expand flexibilities for school districts when determining the use of site sale proceeds for any one– time general fund purpose.

IMPACT ON LOCAL AGENCIES OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS The Executive Officer of the SAB has determined that the proposed regulatory amendments do not impose a mandate or a mandate requiring reimbursement by the State pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code. It will not require local agencies or school districts to incur additional costs in order to comply with the proposed regulation.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION The Executive Officer of the SAB has made the following initial determinations relative to the required statutory categories: ● The SAB has made an initial determination that there will be no significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. ● The SAB is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. ● There will be no non–discretionary costs or savings to local agencies. ● The proposed regulation creates no costs to any local agency or school district requiring reimbursement pursuant to

Section 17500 et seq., or beyond those required by law, except for the required district contribution toward each project as stipulated in statute. ● There will be no costs or savings in federal funding to the State. ● The proposed regulation creates no costs or savings to any State agency beyond those required by law. ● The SAB has made an initial determination that there will be no impact on housing costs. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC I M PACT A NA LYSIS Impact to Businesses and Jobs in California The proposed regulation does not impact California businesses and does not impact the creation of jobs. The proposed regulation adds Education Code

Section 17463.7 into the existing Use of Surplus School Property Site Sale Proceeds regulations, specifically the introduction of the

definitions

section because these

definitions also apply to

Section 17463.7. In addition, this same

section has been added to the authority and reference citations. It is not anticipated that the proposed regulation will result in the elimination of existing businesses or jobs within California. Benefits to Public Health and Welfare, Worker’s Safety, and the State’s Environment ● Executive Order N–25–20, issued by Governor Newsom in March 2020, proclaimed a State of Emergency existed in California as a result of the threat of COVID–19. Since that time, the threat of COVID–19 is still present.

Counties are opening slowly based on the State’s tier system, which allows those school districts in those counties to open slowly and/or continue with online distance–learning. However, there continues to be an impact on the public school system to maintain normal operations. School districts are running into issues, such as not having enough computer equipment to furnish students who are needing to attend school through online distance– learning. The proposed regulation promotes fairness and social equity to school districts by providing clarification to the

definitions of “one– time expenditures” and “on–going expenditures” so that school districts have additional financial resources in order to ensure a quality education for their students. It also affords school districts expanded resources and flexibilities under the SFP in order to help them make financially sound decisions regarding one–time general fund purposes. ● The proposed regulation also promotes transparency because statute requires OPSC to submit an interim and a final report to the SAB, and the budget, education policy, and fiscal committees of the Legislature that identifies the school districts that exercised the authority granted by Education Code

Section 17463.7, the amount of proceeds involved, and the purposes for which those proceeds were used. The reports are due June 1, 2022 and January 1, 2026, respectively.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 501 ● There is no impact to the State’s environment from the proposed regulation. The SAB finds the proposed regulation fully consistent with the stated purposes and benefits. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES It has been determined that the proposed regulation will not have an impact on small businesses in the ways identified in subsections (a)(1)–(4) of

Section 4, Title 1, CCR. The proposed regulation adds Education Code

Section 17463.7 into the existing Use of Surplus School Property Site Sale Proceeds regulations, specifically the introduction of the

definitions

section because these

definitions also apply to

Section 17463.7. It is not anticipated that the proposed regulation will result in the elimination of existing businesses or jobs within California.

Section 4290.1, Public Resources Code. Reference: Sections 51177 and 51178, Government Code; Sections 4126, 4127, 4290, 4290.1 and 4124.7, Public Resources Code;

Section 39713, Health and Safety Code;

Section 6932,

Chapter 6.5, Division 1, Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 503 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(3)(A)–(D)) California Public Resources Code

Section 4290.1, a provision of Assembly Bill 1823 passed in 2019 (Chapter 399), requires the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) to develop criteria for and maintain a list of Local Agencies located in a State Responsibility Area (SRA) or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) which meet best practices for local fire planning. Public Resources Code

Section 4124.7 requires that the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Department) prioritize local assistance grant funding applications from Local Agencies based on this Fire Risk Reduction Communities List (List). Public Resources Code 4290.1 requires the Board to consider criteria relating to the Board’s fire safety standards and recommendations as well as community–based plans or programs that demonstrate dedication to fire planning. By qualifying for the List, a Local Agency demonstrates both compliance with the Board’s requirements and dedication to fire planning that exceeds state minimum standards.

To promote equity, the regulations include additional avenues for low–income Local Agencies to qualify for the List and therefore receive priority for local assistance grant funding. The problem is that regulations to establish the criteria that will be used to determine whether a Local Agency meets best practices in local fire planning so that they may be prioritized for local assistance grant funding do not exist.

The purpose of the proposed action is to develop a transparent, standardized and equitable process for Local Agencies, the Board, and the Department to recognize dedication to fire planning best practices and to prioritize local assistance grant funding accordingly. The effect of the proposed action is to create a process by which Local Agencies that meet fire planning best practices and show dedication to exceeding minimum standards are prioritized for local assistance grant funding to aid in the achievement of their planning goals.

The effect of the proposed action will also be to incentivize Local Agencies which do not meet fire planning best practices or exceed the Board’s minimum fire safety requirements to do so. Finally, the rulemaking promotes economic diversity among recipients of local assistance grant funding. The primary benefit of the proposed action is a clear and standardized set of criteria to inform local assistance grant funding prioritization and ultimately incentivize local fire planning, which works to prevent property and life losses in the wildland–urban interface due to fire.

This regulatory action will thus have a positive effect on the protection of public health and safety, worker safety, and the environment. There is a comparable federal statute. Pursuant to the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, the Department of Agriculture and Department of the Interior published in the Federal Register (66 FR 751) a list of wildland–urban interface “Communities at Risk” in the vicinity of federal lands. This list is compiled from information provided by states and tribes.

This list identifies communities at risk from wildfires on federal lands, but does not identify any specific land use planning programs or plans undertaken by the communities. This federal “Communities at Risk” list differs significantly from the Fire Risk Reduction Communities List as the Fire Risk Reduction Community list identifies communities not at risk of fire, but those which take steps to reduce their fire risk. Board staff conducted an evaluation of whether or not the proposed action is inconsistent or incompatible with existing State regulations pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(3)(D).

State regulations related to the proposed action were, in fact, relied upon in the development of the proposed action to ensure the consistency and compatibility of the proposed action with existing State regulations. Otherwise, Board staff evaluated the balance of existing State regulations related to wildfire planning at the local government level and found no existing State regulations that met the same purpose as the proposed action. Based on this evaluation and effort, the Board has determined that the proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State regulations.

The proposed regulation is entirely consistent and compatible with existing Board rules. Statutes to which the proposed action was compared: Sections 51179(a), 65302.5(b), and 66474.02, Government Code. Regulations to which the proposed action was compared: Articles 1 and 2, Subchapter 1,

Chapter 7, Division 1.5, Title 14, California Code of Regulations;

Article 1, Subchapter 2,

Chapter 7, Division 1.5, Title 14, California Code of Regulations; Articles 1 and 3, Subchapter 3,

Chapter 7, Division 1.5, Title 14, California Code of Regulations;

Part 9, Title 24, California Code of Regulations. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS The proposed action is not mandated by Federal law or regulations. The proposed action neither conflicts with, nor duplicates, Federal regulations. There are no comparable Federal regulations related to wildfire planning best practices by local

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 504 governmental agencies, in the LRA VHFHSZ or SRA or otherwise. No existing Federal regulations meeting the same purpose as the proposed action were identified. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(4)) There are no other matters as are prescribed by statute applicable to the specific State agency or to any specific regulation or class of regulations. LOCAL MANDATE (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(5)) The proposed action does not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts.

FISCAL IMPACT (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a)(6)) There is no cost to any local agency or school district that is required to be reimbursed under

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 100005 to

Chapter 5 of Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (“Institute” or “CIRM”) was established in 2004 after the passage in 2004 of Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. The statewide ballot measure established a new state agency to make grants and provide loans for stem cell research, research facilities and other vital research opportunities. The Independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee (“ICOC”) is the 35–member governing board for the Institute.

The ICOC members are public officials, appointed on the basis of their experience earned in California’s leading public universities, non–profit academic and research institutions, patient advocacy groups, and the biotechnology industry. Proposition 14 (2020) authorized the state to issue $5.5 billion worth of bonds to fund CIRM and enable it to continue its operations. It also authorized the Chair and the President to establish Advisory Task Forces to provide expert guidance regarding specific issues within CIRM’s jurisdiction, such as scientific, policy, ethical, financial, and technical matters. Health & Saf.

Code, § 125290.76. For purposes of conflict–of–interest rules, advisory task forces are treated like working groups because they do not exercise decision–making authority. Id., § 125290.76(c). The CIRM Board, the Independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee, receives guidance from three working groups delving into ethical standards, grants review, and facilities funding. Id., § 125290.40(h) & (k).

Because the working groups are purely advisory and have no final decision–making authority, members of the working groups shall not be considered public officials, employees, or consultants for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Title 9 (commencing with

Section 81000) of the Government Code), Sections 1090 and 19990 of the Government Code, and Sections 10516 and 10517 of the Public Contract Code. Id., § 125290.50(e)(3). Health and Safety Code

section 125290.50(

e) requires the Board to adopt conflict–of–interest rules to govern members of the working groups. See Cal. Code Reg. title 1, §§ 100001–100004. However, unlike members of the working groups, members of the advisory task forces are barred from reviewing, commenting upon, or exercising any jurisdiction over any individual grant or loan approval. Id., § 125290.76(c)(2).

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 507 Health and Safety Code

section 125290.76(c)(2) provides that members of the Advisory Task Forces be subject to the conflict–of–interest requirements applicable to members of the working groups, provided that the Advisory Task Forces shall not review, comment upon, or have jurisdiction over, any individual grant or loan approval. Health and Safety Code

section 125290.40(

m) also authorizes CIRM to adopt interim regulations to take effect immediately and to remain in effect for 270 days unless they are superseded by regulations adopted pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act prior to this time. The Chair and the President of CIRM have determined to establish a scientific strategy advisory panel to provide CIRM with expert guidance related to its scientific strategic plan. To allow this task force to begin to meet, the Board adopted an interim conflict– of–interest policy for members of Advisory Task Forces on January 28, 2021.

This policy is modeled on the policies of the working groups but tailored to task forces, which will not consider individual applications but will instead provide high level direction to the CIRM. This proposed regulation prohibits members of Advisory Task Forces from receiving a benefit from CIRM funding and requires disclosure and disqualification. They are modeled on working group conflict–of–interest rules. The proposed regulation prohibits members of Advisory Task Forces from deriving any direct financial benefit through a CIRM award and from acting as a Principal Investigator on a CIRM award.

This regulation requires Members of Advisory Task Forces to disclose: (1) income received from nonprofit research institutions located in California and (2) investments in public biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that are focused primarily on stem cell or genetic research and therapy development. Finally, the Members of Advisory Task Forces are required to disqualify themselves if one of their financial interests is involved in the decision before the task force, unless the CIRM President determines that the need for the member’s expertise outweighs any possible bias.

ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED REGULATION The purpose and intent

section of Proposition 14 provides that by “enacting this Initiative, it is the purpose and intent of the people of the State of California to continue to support stem cell research to mitigate and/or cure chronic disease and injury and thereby reduce or mitigate human suffering and the cost of care and improve the health and productivity of Californians” including by “[r]equiring strict accountability and transparency, including rigorous conflict–of–interest rules that are updated every four years....” Proposition 14, § 3D.

This regulation will ensure that members of the Advisory Task Forces abide by rigorous conflict–of–interest rules as intended by the voters. CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS This proposed regulation is the first regulation concerning advisory task forces, established by Proposition 14 in 2020. See Health & Saf. Code, § 125290.76. The proposed regulation is also consistent with the Political Reform Act and Fair Political Practices Commission’s (FPPC) conflict–of–interest regulations.

Those regulations generally exempt purely advisory bodies from conflict–of–interest rules unless the body to which they report routinely adopts the advisory body’s recommendations without substantive change. In this case, Proposition 14 expressly recognizes that advisory task forces are advisory and hence not subject to the Political Reform Act, so instead, Proposition 14 required CIRM to adopt this proposed regulation. This proposed regulation is consistent with existing CIRM regulations regarding conflicts of interest. Health and Safety Code

section 125290.76(c)(2) provides that members of the advisory task forces be subject to the conflict–of–interest requirements applicable to members of the working groups, provided that the advisory task forces shall not review, comment upon, or have jurisdiction over, any individual grant or loan approval. CIRM previously promulgated regulations on conflict–of–interest rules for members of the working groups. Cal. Code Reg. title 1, §§ 100001–100004.

This proposed regulation models these rules; however, unlike members of the working groups, members of the advisory task forces are barred from reviewing, commenting upon, or exercising any jurisdiction over any individual grant or loan approval. Health and Saf. Code § 125290.76(c) (2). Instead, these advisory task forces will provide high–level advice to CIRM. Therefore, the proposed regulation is not inconsistent nor incompatible with any other existing state regulations. INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE DOCUMENTS None.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 508 DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS CIRM has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Effect on Small Business: CIRM has determined that the proposed regulation will have no impact on small businesses. The regulation proposes conflict– of–interest rules for members of CIRM Advisory Task Forces. As such, the proposed regulation are not expected to adversely impact small business as defined in Government Code

Section 11342.610. Impact on Local Agencies or School Districts: CIRM has determined that the proposed regulation does not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts, nor does it require reimbursement by the state pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code because the proposed regulation does not constitute a “new program or higher level of service of an existing program” within the meaning of

Section 6 of

Article XIII of the California Constitution. CIRM has also determined that no nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies or school districts will result from the proposed regulation. Costs or Savings to State Agencies: CIRM has determined that no savings or increased costs to any agency will result from the proposed regulation. Effect on Federal Funding to the State: CIRM has determined that no costs or savings in federal funding to the state will result from the proposed regulation. Effect on Housing Costs: CIRM has determined that the proposed regulation will have no effect on housing costs.

Significant Statewide Adverse Economic Impact Directly Affecting Businesses: CIRM has made an initial determination that the proposed regulation 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. Cost Impacts on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: CIRM has made an initial determination that the adoption of this regulation will not have a significant cost impact on representative private persons or businesses.

CIRM is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would incur in reasonable compliance with the regulation. RESULTS OF ECONOMIC I M PACT A NA LYSIS CIRM does not anticipate that this proposed regulation will have any economic impact, including on the creation of elimination of jobs or businesses within the State of California or any impact on the expansion of business in the State of California, nor any impact on the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, or the state’s environment.

This analysis is based on that fact that the proposed regulation does not impose new requirements on existing business operations or functions of other agencies or individuals but implements a conflict– of–interest policy for members of Advisory Task Forces. Although, this proposed regulation will ensure that members of the Advisory Task Forces abide by rigorous conflict–of–interest rules as intended by the voters. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), CIRM must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention, 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 or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of the law than the proposal described in this Notice.

CIRM invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulation at the scheduled hearing or during the written comment period. AVAILABILITY OF STATEMENT OF REASONS AND TEXT OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS CIRM has prepared an Initial Statement of Reasons and has available the express terms of the proposed regulation and a rulemaking file.

The Project is located at 28800 Camp 2 Ten Mile Road, Fort Bragg, CA 95437, and the property is owned by the Parker Family Trust, Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 01514075 and 01514079. The Ten Mile River supports populations of North Coast steelhead trout, Central California Coast Coho Salmon, and California Coastal Chinook Salmon. Project Description: The Nature Conservancy (Applicant) proposes to enhance and restore habitat within the Ten Mile River to provide a net conservation benefit for Coho Salmon.

The goal of this project is to improve winter rearing habitat for juvenile Coho Salmon by increasing off–channel habitat and floodplain connectivity, increasing instream habitat complexity, and reestablishing geomorphic processes. The Project includes a collection of habitat enhancements including the creation of one large off– channel, seasonally flooded wetland, six engineered log jams, four off–channel alcoves, and four inlet large wood structures.

It also includes bank softening using explosives to encourage channel widening, large wood recruitment, long–term aggradation of the channel bed, and eventual floodplain reconnection. The Project was funded by the Fisheries Restoration Grant Program and The Nature Conservancy. Detailed Project plans, discussion of proposed work, species protection measures, site photos and maps are on file with California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Habitat Conservation Planning Branch (HCPB). The bank softening explosive technique will be performed by the CDFW Northern Region’s Fish and Wildlife Habitat Program.

Project Size: The total area of ground disturbance associated with the Project is approximately 3.99 acres and 500 linear feet. The Applicant has included project size calculations that were used to determine the total size of the Project. The proposed Project complies with the General 401 Certification for Small Habitat Restoration Projects and associated categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal. Code Regs., title 14, § 15333). Project Associated Discharge: Discharge of materials into Waters of the State, as defined by Water Code

(See generally Fish & Game Code, § 1654, subd. (c).) DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE PROPOSED RESEARCH ON FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES Lost River Sucker and Shortnose Sucker in Siskiyou and Modoc Counties The Department of Fish and Wildlife (Department) received a project proposal from Josh Rasmussen of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) in cooperation with U.S.

Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) requesting authorization to conduct research capturing Lost River Sucker (Deltistes luxatus) and Shortnose Sucker (Chasmistes brevirostris ), Fully Protected Fishes, to conduct surveys and research, and ultimately improve survival of these fish, consistent with the protection and recovery of the species. The applicant and the associated parties have valid United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Service)

Section 10 recovery permits (TE–007907–18, TE– 108507–3, Sub–permit FWSKFFWO–11) and/or a Biological Opinion (2019 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Biological Opinion for the Klamath Project) for research on Lost River Sucker and Shortnose Sucker, Fully Protected Species. The proposed research is being conducted by the Service, USBR, and USGS in support of the ongoing study for the recovery of the endangered suckers in the Klamath Basin.

The Service proposes the use of trammel nets, fyke nets, seines, electrofishing, long–handled dip nets, plankton drift nets, and minnow traps for developing an age–0 sucker rearing program and the use of fyke nets for monitoring. USGS proposes the use of trammel nets for adult monitoring and fyke nets for juvenile monitoring. USBR proposes the use of trammel nets, seines, long–handled dip nets, and electrofishers to evaluate survival and population contribution of suckers and the use of trammel nets (adults), fyke nets (juveniles), and plankton drift nets (larvae) to quantify entrainment.

Adult and juvenile suckers will be identified, measured, enumerated and scanned for Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags. If no PIT tag is present, one will be implanted so that recruitment into the adult spawning population can be monitored in future years. External radio tags may also be used. Tissue samples may be collected for genetic analysis and juvenile specimens may be collected for laboratory identification, water quality, and pathology activities. Suckers may be reared for studying the effects of water quality, and studies on reproduction and pathology.

Only experienced personnel will conduct sampling. Detailed prescriptions for sampling and handling suckers will be included in the applicant’s Fully Protected Species MOU, if issued. Additional locations and/or methods may be authorized by the Department for future projects. Pursuant to California Fish and Game Code (FGC)

Section 5515(a)(1), the Department may authorize take of Fully Protected Fish after 30 days’ notice has been provided to affected and interested parties through publication of this notice. If the Department determines that the proposed research is consistent with the requirements of FGC

Section 5515 for take of Fully Protected Fish, it would issue the authorization in the form of a MOU on or after June 15, 2021 for

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2021, VOLUME NUMBER 18-Z 512 an initial term through December 31, 2022. This MOU may be renewed as long as the Federal

Section 10 permit(

s) is renewed and the State research MOU permit is current. Contact: Fisheries Branch, P.O. Box 944209, Sacramento, CA 94244–2090, Attention: Carmen Tull.

ACCEPTANCE OF PETITION TO REVIEW ALLEGED UNDERGROUND REGULATIONS DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS ACCEPTANCE OF PETITION TO REVIEW ALLEGED UNDERGROUND REGULATIONS (Pursuant to Title 1,

Section 270, of the California Code of Regulations) The Office of Administrative Law has accepted for consideration a petition challenging the Department of State Hospitals Administrative Directive Number 810, titled Unit Security, sections III. A. Patient Rooms, and III. B. Observation Rounds/Wellness Rounds. Among other provisions, the challenged rules are summarized as follows, respectively: A. Patients may not have visitors in their rooms, and staff will respect patient privacy by knocking on the door or by announcing their presence before entering whenever possible and appropriate. B.

Unit staff must make observation/wellness rounds of all areas occupied by the patients (including vestibules and stairwells) at least three times each hour at irregular intervals with time in between rounds not exceeding 20 minutes. Staff may make rounds more frequently based on safety and security needs. Rounds must be documented in the Day Book. Between scheduled rounds at night, staff must be stationed such that they can visualize hallways where patients reside.

At night, staff must conduct one wellness and two observation rounds each hour, and the first round of every hour must be a wellness round, with additional wellness rounds conducted per nursing judgment. The rule sets out a progressive procedure for ensuring that each patient is breathing throughout the night, beginning with visual observation aided by flashlight, if necessary, followed by tapping on the patient’s bed and calling his name, followed by drawing the sheets and blankets down far enough to assess for life signs. If a patient is unresponsive, CPR must be initiated.

The rule specifies that staff assigned to these rounds will observe patients through windows in the doors of single rooms and dorms, and that a staff member will observe, from the nurse’s station, the whereabouts of the staff person conducting rounds. Lastly, the rule requires that two staff members must remain out of shift change to make continuous rounds and be available to patients. Please send your comments to: Dale Mentink, Attorney IV Office of Administrative Law 300 Capitol Mall, Ste. 1250 Sacramento, CA 95814 A copy of your comment must also be sent to the petitioner and the agency contact person.
