CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 555 PROPOSED ACTION ON REGULATIONS Information contained in this document is published as received from agencies and is not edited by Thomson Reuters. TITLE 2. CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES The California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) proposes to amend the regulation described below after considering all comments, objections, and recommendations. I . PUBLIC HEARING CalHR has not scheduled a public hearing on this pro- posed action.
However, CalHR will hold a hearing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or his or her authorized representa- tive, no later than 15 days before the close of the written comment period. II. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person, or his or her authorized representative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to CalHR. Comments may also be submitted by facsimile (FAX) at 916−322−3769 or by e−mail to scott.morrison@calhr. ca.gov. The written comment period closes at 12:00 a.m. on May 28th, 2019.
CalHR will consider only comments received at CalHR’s office by that time. Submit comments to the following address: Scott Morrison Jr., Health Policy Analyst California Department of Human Resources 1515 ‘S’ Street, North Building, Suite 500 Sacramento, CA 95811 III. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Government Code sections 18502, 19815.4, and 22843.1 authorize CalHR to amend the regulation. The proposed amendment interprets and makes specific Government Code
section 22843.1. IV . INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Government Code
section 19815.4, subdivision (
d) authorizes the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) to promulgate regulations pertaining to state employee salaries, hours, and other personnel−related matters. In particular, Government Code
section 22843.1 gives CalHR the authority to establish standards for verifying that the family members of state employees and annuitants are eligible for state−sponsored health benefits. The proposed amendment to the regulation would further clarify the requirement in Government Code
section 22843.1 requiring state agencies to re−verify, at least once every three years, that the family members (dependents) of state employees and annuitants enrolled for state−sponsored health benefits remain eligible. The amended regulation would: account for the change in employee/dependent notification requirements; specify the employee’s responsibility of notifying the employing office of any permitting events that may change a dependent’s eligibility; specify that any marriage certificate submitted must be issued by government entity. V .
EV ALUATION OF INCONSISTENCY/ INCOMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS CalHR evaluated whether or not the proposed amendment is inconsistent or incompatible with exist- ing state regulations. These are the only regulations concerning Dependent Re−Verification. Therefore, the proposed amendment is not inconsistent nor incompati- ble with other existing state regulations. VI.
ANTICIPATED BENEFITS FROM THIS PROPOSED REGULATION This amendment to existing regulation would assist departmental HR offices in conforming to new guidelines issued by the Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), regarding employee notification timelines, as well as conforming to new employee due dates for submitting appropriate re−verification documents. It would also assist departmental HR offices in enforcing what types of documents are acceptable for re−verification purposes, thus lessening employee confusion and frustration. VII.
DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION CalHR has made the following initial determinations:
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 556 1. Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. 2. Cost or savings to any state agency: The current regulation does not have any fiscal impact on state agencies, local government, or private sector business. The proposed amendment would not change this assessment. 3. Cost to any local agency or school district, which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. 4. Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. 5. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. 6.
Significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None. 7. Cost impacts on representative private person or businesses: CalHR is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. 8. Results of the Economic Impact Assessment/Analysis: Adoption of these regulations will not: a. Create or eliminate jobs within California; b.
Create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within California; or c. Affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California. Adoption of these regulations will: d. Positively affect the processing efficiency of the employing office, as well as reduce confusion for employees re−verifying their dependents. 9. Significant effect on housing costs: None. 10. Small Business Impact: The proposed regulation amendment has no significant adverse economic impact on small businesses.
This only regulates the internal process by which the state HR departments shall ensure only those who are truly qualified dependents of active employees are receiving benefits, and does not extend in any way to private businesses or the general public. VIII. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code
section 11346.5, subdivision (a)(13), CalHR must determine that no reasonable alternative considered, 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 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 law than the proposed described in this Notice.
CalHR invites interested persons to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulation at the hearing, if one is requested, or during the written comment period. IX.

TITLE 2.
FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES COMMISSION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Fair Political Practices Commission (the Commission), under the au- thority vested in it by the Political Reform Act (the Act)1 by
Section 83112 of the Government Code pro- poses to adopt, amend, or repeal regulations in Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of Regulations. The Commission will consider the proposed regulation at a public hearing on or after May 16, 2019 at the offices of the San Diego City Hall, 202 C Street, Council Com- mittee Room, San Diego, California 92101, commenc- ing at approximately 10:00 a.m. Written comments should be received at the Commission offices no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 14, 2019.
This notice is being provided as a re−notice to indicate a change in the date and location of the public hearing at which this regula- tion will be considered. 1 The Political Reform Act is contained in Government Code sec- tions 81000 through 91014. All further statutory references are to the Government Code. The regulations of the Fair Political Prac- tices Commission are contained in sections 18110 through 18997 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (hereafter Regulation).
BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW In an effort to reduce improper influences on public officials, the Political Reform Act regulates the receipt of gifts by public officials. The term “gift” is defined in
Section 82028(
a) as: “Any payment that confers a personal benefit on the recipient, to the extent that consideration of equal or greater value is not received and includes a rebate or discount in the price of anything of value unless the rebate or discount is made in the regular course of business to members of the public without regard to official status.” Regulation 18944.1 provides two alternative methods by which an official may accept the types of tickets addressed herein: (1) the agency may treat the ticket as part of the official’s governmental salary, provided it is treated as such under applicable tax laws; or (2) the official may accept the ticket if there is a public purpose achieved through that official’s use of the ticket.
Regulation 18944.1 sets up a procedure for agencies that provide tickets to their officials that, if utilized, will establish for gift purposes that the official receiving the ticket has met the burden under
Section 82028 that equal or greater value has been provided in exchange therefor. Accordingly, under this procedure, no gift will have been received by the official. An agency is free to make its own choice whether or not to adopt a policy conforming to the regulation or to treat the tickets as income or gifts to the official and not apply the regulation. Tickets distributed under the policy, including tickets distributed at the behest of a public official, must be identified on a Form 802 and posted on the agency’s website to comply with this regulation.
The form must be completed within 45 days of distribution of a ticket or pass. Where the distribution is made pursuant to the public purpose exception, that purpose must also be de- scribed on the form. To help clarify Regulation 18944.1, staff proposes including language specifying that an agency’s ticket distribution policy must include a provision prohibiting the disproportionate use of tickets or passes by a member of the governing body, chief administrative officer of the agency, political appointee, or department head; as well as making clear that where the public
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 558 purpose cited for the use of tickets involves the oversight or inspection of facilities, the official must document the public purpose by submitting a written inspection report of findings and recommendations to be provided to the official’s agency. Staff also proposes further clarifying the definition of “face value” to “fair value” contained in Regulation 18946, changing a reference from “face value” to “fair value” in Regulation 18946.1, and updating a cross−reference to Regulation 18944.1 contained in Regulation 18942. REGULATORY ACTION Adopt 2 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 18944.1 by adding language requiring an agency’s ticket distribution policy to include a provision prohibiting the disproportionate use of tickets or passes by the members of the agency’s governing board or chief administrative officer, as well requiring a written inspection report that includes findings and recommendations where the public purpose cited for the use of tickets involves the oversight or inspection of facilities. The amendments also include the removal of some redundant language from the definition of “ticket.” Amend 2 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 18946 by changing the term “face value” to “fair value” and adding lan- guage clarifying the definition of “fair value” as it per- tains to the valuation of tickets in a luxury box or suite. Amend 2 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 18946.1 by chang- ing the term “face value” to “fair value.” Amend 2 Cal. Code Regs.
Section 18942 by changing a cross reference from Regulation 18944.1, subdivision (
f) to subdivision (d). SCOPE The Commission may adopt the language noticed herein, or it may choose new language to implement its decisions concerning the issues identified above or any related issues. The Commission must determine that no alternative considered by the agency would be more ef- fective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed or would be as effective and less burden- some to affected private persons than the proposed action. FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT Fiscal Impact on Local Government. This regulation will have no fiscal impact on any local entity or program.
Fiscal Impact on State Government. This regulation will have no fiscal impact on any state entity or program. Fiscal Impact on Federal Funding of State Programs. This regulation will have no fiscal impact on the federal funding of any state program or entity. The adoption of the proposed amendments: (1) will not impose a cost or savings on any state agency, local agency or school district that is required to be reim- bursed under
Part 7 (commencing with
Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code; (2) will not re- sult in any nondiscretionary cost or savings to local agencies; (3) will not result in any cost or savings in fed- eral funding to the state; (4) will not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts; and (5) will not have any potential cost impact on private persons or businesses including small businesses. AUTHORITY Government Code
Section 83112 provides that the Fair Political Practices Commission may adopt, amend, and rescind rules and regulations to carry out the pur- poses and provisions of the Political Reform Act. REFERENCE The purpose of this regulation is to implement, inter- pret, and make specific Government Code
Section 82028. CONTACT Any inquiries should be made to Zachary W. Norton, Fair Political Practices Commission, 1102 Q Street, Suite 3000, Sacramento, CA 95811; telephone (916) 322−5660 or 1−866−ASK−FPPC.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY OVERVIEW STATEMENT Assembly Bill (AB) 1808,
Chapter 32, Statutes of 2018 (Committee on Budget, Education Finance: Edu- cation Omnibus Trailer Bill), established the Full−Day Kindergarten Facilities Grant Program (FDKFGP). The FDKFGP allows school districts that lack the facil- ities to provide full−day kindergarten to apply for one− time grants to construct new school facilities or retrofit existing school facilities for the sole purpose of provid- ing full−day kindergarten classrooms. At its meeting on October 24, 2018, the SAB adopted regulations on an emergency basis to implement the FDKFGP.
The emer- gency regulations were approved by the Office of Ad- ministrative Law and filed with the Secretary of State on December 14, 2018. Funds Impacted • General Fund appropriation in the amount of $100,000,000 Attached to this Notice is the specific regulatory lan- guage of the proposed emergency regulations, includ- ing three forms. The Grant Agreement will not be in- cluded because the document is very large.
However, the proposed regulations, forms and the Grant Agree- ment will be accessible and can be reviewed on OPSC’s website at: https://www.dgs.ca.gov/OPSC/Resources and scroll down to Laws and Regulations for State Allo- cation Board−Administered Programs. Copies of the proposed regulations, forms and Grant Agreement will be mailed to any person requesting this information by using OPSC’s contact information set forth below in this Notice. The proposed regulations implement the FDKFGP Regulations under the California Code of Regulations, Title 2,
Chapter 3, Subchapter 4, Group 1, State Allocation Board, Subgroup 5.8, Regulations re- lating to the Full−Day Kindergarten Facilities Grant Program. Background and Problem Being Resolved In a recent survey performed by the California De- partment of Education (CDE), school districts cited
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 560 lack of facilities as the main reason for not offering full− day kindergarten instruction. AB 1808, the Education Finance: Education Omnibus Trailer Bill was approved by the Governor and chaptered June 27, 2018. This bill appropriated $100,000,000 from the General Fund for the 2018/2019 fiscal year to the SAB to provide one− time grants to school districts to construct new school facilities or retrofit existing school facilities for the pur- pose of providing full−day kindergarten classrooms.
A “full−day kindergarten classroom,” for the purposes of this bill, must satisfy the design requirements required for new kindergarten classrooms as specified in para- graph (2) of subdivision (
h) of
Section 14030 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, conducted three stake- holder meetings to develop and refine the criteria for providing grants to school districts under the FDKFGP. Proposed FDKFGP projects must increase the number of kindergarten classrooms meeting current kinder- garten design requirements at the site by either the addi- tion of a classroom(
s) to an existing school site or by retrofitting an existing facility that is not currently de- signed as a kindergarten classroom. This is a self− certification program and the projects must provide classrooms to house existing kindergarten students, not add capacity to bring new students to the school site. OPSC performed a search on whether the proposed regulations were consistent and compatible with exist- ing State laws and regulations. After performing the search, OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, has determined that AB 1808,
Chapter 32, Education Finance: Educa- tion Omnibus Trailer Bill, was created because there are no other programs or regulations that address the lack of kindergarten facilities. Therefore, the proposed regula- tions are determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. Proceeding with the implementation of the FDKFGP regulations, the three forms and the grant agreement templates, will enhance applicants’ awareness when partnering with the State while defining the responsibilities of funding applicant projects. This will ensure program oversight and expenditure accountability.
Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations The proposed regulations promote the State’s general welfare, including protection of public health and safe- ty, by assisting in increasing the State’s infrastructure investment of school facilities. The proposed regula- tions also promote fairness and/or social equity by pro- viding one−time general fund funding to those school districts that may be able to construct new facilities or retrofit existing facilities in an effort to provide kinder- garten facilities. Many aspects of the FDKFGP are based on similari- ties in the Leroy F.
Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 (School Facility Program), such as state share/district share funding of projects, Financial Hardship, site ac- quisition guidelines, etc. just to name a few. The School Facility Program is a $42 billion voter−approved school facilities construction program. Although the FDKFGP is not the primary school facilities construction pro- gram, it does provide funding dedicated to construction of new facilities and/or retrofit of existing facilities for kindergarten classrooms only.
The proposed regulations are therefore determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. As stated above, OPSC performed a search on whether the proposed regulations were con- sistent and compatible with existing State laws and reg- ulations. After performing the search, OPSC, on behalf of the SAB, has determined that AB 1808,
Chapter 32, Education Finance: Education Omnibus Trailer Bill, was created because there are no other programs or reg- ulations that address the lack of kindergarten facilities. Therefore, the proposed regulations are determined to be consistent and compatible with existing State laws and regulations. Proceeding with the implementation of the FDKFGP regulations, the three forms and the grant agreement templates, will enhance applicants’ aware- ness when partnering with the State while defining the responsibilities of funding applicant projects. This will ensure program oversight and expenditure accountability.
These proposed regulations may have a positive im- pact to various business, manufacturing, and construction−related industries such as architecture, engineering, trades and municipalities, along with the creation of an unknown amount of jobs. The proposed regulations may also provide a positive impact to the creation of jobs, the creation of new businesses, and the expansion of businesses in California. It is not anticipat- ed that the proposed regulations will result in the elimi- nation of existing businesses or jobs within California.
Summary of the Proposed Regulatory Amendments A
summary of the proposed regulations is as follows: Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860 states the purpose of the regulations, which is to implement the FDKFGP. Full−day kindergarten is defined in Edu- cation Code
Section 8973, which specifies that full−day kindergarten instruction exceeds four hours but does not exceed the length of the primary school day and that full−day kindergarten instruction must provide appro- priate educational instruction composed of both active and quiet activities. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.1 charges the Director of General Services with providing assistance to the SAB as necessary, pursuant to Govern- ment Code
Section 15490(c). This
Section also charges the Director, or his or her legal designee, with perform-
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 561 ing all acts necessary to implement the program when- ever possible. This allows OPSC, as staff to the Direc- tor, to assist in the implementation of the program. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.2 rep- resents a set of defined words and terms used exclusive- ly for these regulations. These
definitions provide clari- ty to OPSC and school districts on program concepts and requirements. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.3 sets forth general requirements that all school districts seek- ing program funding must meet. Specifically, partici- pating school districts are required to complete and file with OPSC the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding (which is incorporated by reference), and all required documents as identified in the Specific In- structions
section of the Form SAB 70−01. This regula- tion also specifies that school districts may only apply for program funding for a project that entered into a construction contract on or after the program start date, June 27, 2018. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.4 pro- vides general funding guidelines for the program that apply to all school districts that participate in the pro- gram. Government Code
Section 16304 states in part that all program funds must be encumbered by the SAB by June 30, 2021. The Program will not operate beyond 2021 as no additional General Fund dollars will be ap- propriated for purposes of the Program. This
Section clarifies that any funds returned prior to this date will be returned to the program account, while funds returned after this date will be returned to the General Fund. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.5 sets forth several criteria that all school districts must meet in order to apply for program funding. School districts will be required to provide a school board resolution providing approval to provide full−day kindergarten in- struction at the project school site at completion of the project, pursuant to Education Code
Section 8973. Ad- ditionally, school districts will be required to prove that they currently lack full−day kindergarten facilities, which is defined as the project site having an existing kindergarten pupil population that exceeds the current state loading standard of 25 kindergarten pupils per kindergarten classroom. Statute does not provide the SAB the ability to provide funding for classrooms for projected kindergarten students. This
Section also re- quires school districts to provide a description of the proposed project that contains certain criteria. OPSC will use this information in order to determine if the school district is eligible to receive program funding and, if so, for what types of funding the school district will qualify. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.6 sets forth the application submittal process, which autho- rizes the SAB to establish two 30−calendar day funding rounds for school districts to request apportionments of available program funds. The first funding round would begin January 2, 2019 and end January 31, 2019. The second funding round would begin May 1, 2019 and end May 30, 2019. A two−round system will allow the SAB to promptly expend the funds by the statute driven deadline of June 30, 2021. Any applications that do not receive an apportionment during each round will be re- turned to the school district.
The two−round system will also provide more time for school districts to plan and prepare a project submittal so as to encourage full par- ticipation in the program. School districts that do not re- ceive funding in the first round may apply again in the second round. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.7 specifies the type of applications that school districts may submit. As stated in Education Code
Section 17375(a), school districts may apply for new construc- tion and/or retrofit funding for the purposes of provid- ing full−day kindergarten classrooms. School districts may apply for funding with or without an advance re- lease of funds. The
Section specifies that in order to re- ceive a grant without an advance release of funds, school districts must have received Division of the State Architect (DSA) and CDE final plan approval along with several additional criteria if the district is applying for a new construction grant that includes site acquisi- tion. Grant requests with an advance release of funds for design and/or site acquisition costs will enable school districts that are lacking the required documentation and approvals to participate in the program and begin their project. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.8 specifies that school districts must hold title to the real property where the proposed facilities are or will be lo- cated. Education Code
Section 17375 does not provide the SAB the explicit ability to provide funding to school districts if their proposed projects are located on land, such as leased land, other than district−owned land. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.9 sets forth the determination for a new construction appor- tionment. The applications that are funded with 2018 grant amounts will be determined at $11,567 for each elementary school student. The per−pupil grant is deter- mined by the School Facility Program (SFP) Regula- tions as stipulated in Education Code
Section 17375(d). Applications that request, and the project includes, an automatic fire detection and alarm system will get an in- crease of $14 per elementary school student, and appli- cations that request an automatic sprinkler system will get an increase of $194 per elementary school student. These grants are also provided by the SFP Regulations as stipulated in Education Code
Section 17074.50. If a school district would like assistance with costs associat- ed with site development, such as service site, off−site,
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 562 utilities, and/or general site, they may request it on the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding. If ap- proved for a site development grant, the school district will be awarded an additional 35 percent of the base grant. The site development increase of 35 percent was determined by an historical average of site development grants allocated to projects in the SFP. If a school dis- trict would like assistance with costs associated with multilevel construction, they may request it on the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding.
If approved for multilevel construction, the school district will be awarded 12 percent of the base grant. The 12 percent of the base grant for multilevel construction is identical to that for new construction projects in the SFP. Small school districts will be awarded $7,074 for the cost nec- essary for project assistance, if eligible, as determined in Education Code
Section 17072.10(e). Project assis- tance is intended for costs associated with preparation and submission of FDKFGP funding applications. This
Section also sets forth the process by which new con- struction grant funding will be determined. Education Code
Section 17375(
d) requires the SAB to allocate funds using the same maximum grant eligibility amounts that are used in the SFP Regulations, as set forth in Education Code Sections 17072.10 and 17072.11. Just like in the SFP, the grant amounts, ex- cluding grants for site development and for multilevel construction, will be adjusted annually based on the change in the Class B Construction Cost Index, which is approved every January by the SAB. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.10 sets forth the process by which the amount for an addi- tional grant for site acquisition will be determined. Edu- cation Code
Section 17375(
f) authorizes the SAB to al- locate funding necessary to acquire property adjacent to the existing school site. The Site acquisition funding de- termination for FDKFGP projects is similar to what is used in the SFP Regulations. This
Section specifies that the SAB will provide additional funding for site acqui- sition with the amount being the lesser of one half of the actual cost of the site or one half of the appraised value of the site acquired adjacent to an existing school site. Additionally, this
Section specifies that the amount of acreage eligible for site acquisition funding for the FDKFGP will be reduced, on a prorated basis, by the percentage of the excess acreage of the site that exceeds the eligible acreage allowed for a kindergarten class- room project (0.3 acres) pursuant to Title 5, California Code of Regulations,
Section 14010(a). Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.10.1 explains the requirements necessary for school districts to meet in order to obtain additional new construction funding for site acquisition costs. Specifically, school districts will have to certify on the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding, that the appraisal of the prop- erty to be acquired will be appraised in as−is condition.
This requirement must be met, but there are exceptions such as the site being appraised as if it were a clean site, safe of all toxic contaminants in compliance with ap- propriate guidelines and laws and if the site valuation included only proposed site improvements associated with grading the site to certain conditions specified in this section. School districts must also verify that con- sideration was made for net useable acreage and sever- ance damages, appraisal services have been contracted, and that the appraisal complies with appropriate prac- tices.
These site acquisition guidelines are similar to those in the SFP. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.10.2 sets forth the process of allocating a new construction additional grant for hazardous waste removal costs on an acquired site. Statute authorizes the SAB to allocate funding necessary to remove hazardous substances at a new school site. This
Section determines that the grant amount will not be greater than 50 percent of one and one half times the value of the appraisal. However, ex- ceptions to this grant calculation will be made for relo- cation costs and site other costs. The process for deter- mining funding for hazardous waste removal costs on an acquired site is similar to the process used in the SFP Regulations. The main difference between the two is that the funding for the costs described in this
section will be reduced on a prorated basis, as with the site ac- quisition grant. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.10.3 sets forth the process of allocating a new construction additional grant for hazardous waste removal costs re- quired on an existing school site by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Statute authorizes the SAB to allocate funding necessary to remove haz- ardous substances at an existing school site. This Sec- tion provides that school districts may only receive this additional funding if they are not requesting site acqui- sition funding and if their project will be adding facili- ties on an existing and functioning school site.
This Sec- tion also specifies that funding for these costs will be equal to one half of the costs for preparation of the Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (POESA), the Preliminary Endangerment Assessment (PEA), and the Response Action (RA) as well as the costs to imple- ment the RA. The process for determining funding for hazardous waste removal costs required on an existing school site mirrors the same process used in the SFP Regulations. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.11 specifies the matching share requirement for school dis- tricts applying for a new construction grant. With the exception of school districts that receive financial hard- ship funding, school districts that apply for a new con- struction grant must provide 50 percent and the state
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 563 will provide 50 percent, pursuant to Education Code 17375(b)(3). Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.12 sets forth the determination for a retrofit apportion- ment. The applications that are funded with 2018 grant amounts will be determined at $4,404 for each elemen- tary school student. The per−pupil grant is determined by the SFP Regulations as stipulated in Education Code
Section 17375(d). Applications that request an auto- matic fire detection and alarm system will get an in- crease of $143 per elementary student. These grants are also provided by the SFP Regulations as stipulated in Education Code
Section 17074.50. If a school district would like assistance with costs associated with site de- velopment, such as service site, off−site, utilities, and/ or general site, they may request it on the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding. If approved for a site development grant, the school district will be awarded 35 percent of the base grant. The site development in- crease of 35 percent was determined by an historical av- erage of site development grants allocated to projects in the SFP.
If a school district is retrofitting a 50−year−old or older building, they may request an increase of 15 percent to the base grant to help upgrade the existing 50−year−old utilities. The increase of 15 percent was determined by an historical average of 50−year−old utilities grants provided for modernizing 50−year−old or older buildings in the SFP. Small school districts will be awarded $3,772 for the cost necessary for project as- sistance, if eligible, as determined in Education Code
Section 17074.10(e). Project assistance is intended for costs associated with preparation and submission of FDKFGP funding applications. The grant amounts shall be adjusted annually based on the Class B Con- struction Cost Index, which is approved every January by the SAB, which is identical to the SFP. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.13 specifies the matching share requirement for school dis- tricts applying for a retrofit grant. With the exception of school districts that receive financial hardship funding, school districts that apply for a retrofit grant must pro- vide 40 percent and the state will provide 60 percent, pursuant to Education Code 17375(b)(3). Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.14 sets forth criteria for school districts applying for finan- cial hardship, as allowed in Education Code
Section 17375(b)(2)(A). If a school district is unable to meet the financial requirements for either all or a portion to match their share of the project with the state and can prove a financial hardship, then they may qualify for hardship assistance pursuant to Education Code Sec- tion 17075.10. This
Section is identical to the financial hardship provisions as defined in the SFP Regulations. OPSC will review financial records of the school dis- trict to determine if the school district qualifies for fi- nancial hardship. The analysis will include all capital facility accounts, including but not limited to developer fees, Certificates of Participation, federal grants, bond funds either encumbered, unencumbered or authorized but not sold, etc. Any funds that have not been encum- bered, either through contracts or otherwise, will be considered available funds for the matching share.
After the initial request for financial hardship is granted, no further encumbrances will be approved by OPSC.
The school district must make a reasonable ef- fort to fund its matching share of the project by demon- strating it is levying the maximum developer fee justi- fied under law or an alternative revenue source equal to or greater than the developer fee otherwise justified un- der law at the time of the request for financial hardship, and the school district meets at least one of these crite- ria: The school district’s current outstanding bonded in- debtedness is at least 60 percent of the school district’s total bonding capacity; the school district had a success- ful registered voter bond election for at least the maxi- mum amount allowed under Proposition 39, within the previous two years from the date of the request for fi- nancial hardship.
The proceeds from the bond election must be used to fund the school district’s matching share of the project; the school district at the time of the request for financial hardship has a total bonding capac- ity of $5 million or less; the school district may be found to qualify for financial hardship if the SAB approves other reasonable evidence of financial hardship. Once the school district has been notified by OPSC of the processing of the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding, the school district has 30 days to submit veri- fication of financial hardship.
If verification is not re- ceived by OPSC within 30 days of notification, the school district will be ineligible to receive a financial hardship grant and preference points. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.15 specifies the funding priority based on a school dis- trict’s preference points. Education Code
Section 17375(b)(2) states that priority for FDKFGP grants will be given to school districts that qualify for financial hardship and/or that have a high population of pupils who are eligible for Free and Reduced−Price School Meals (FRPM). This
Section creates a system of prefer- ence points in order to determine project funding order. A maximum of 80 preference points may be earned in each funding round for each school district. A school district’s preference points will be calculated into two categories. Similar to the sliding scale currently used in the SFP for the Charter School Facilities Program, a sliding scale was created to determine the percentage of students a school district has eligible for FRPM. Points begin at four points for 60−65 percent of students eligi- ble for FRMP, while 40 points will be earned if 100 per- cent of students within the school district qualify for
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 564 FRPM. If a school district has been qualified for finan- cial hardship by OPSC and is unable to contribute a por- tion or all of its matching share, the school district earns 40 points. Once OPSC has determined school districts’ approved applications, school districts will be placed in a preference order based on the preference points earned. School districts will be ordered from highest to lowest points (80 points to zero points). If sufficient funds are available in that funding round, then all ap- proved applications will be funded.
If the amount of funding requested is more than the amount allocated for that round, then OPSC will begin with the highest pref- erence point school district and fund their first priority project as stated on the Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding. If two or more school districts have the same amount of preference points, then they will be placed into a lottery. The first school district pulled will have their first priority project funded, and OPSC will continue to the next school district with the same num- ber of preference points.
If OPSC has funded all school districts’ first priority projects and funding still remains in that funding round, then OPSC will go back to the highest preference point school district and fund their remaining projects. As stated above, if two or more school districts have the same amount of preference points, they are placed into a lottery to determine who will go first in the funding order.
Using the same fund- ing order determined in the lottery to fund a school dis- trict’s first priority project with the same number of preference points, each school district’s second and subsequent priority projects (as identified by the school district on their Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding, with the same number of preference points will be funded until funds are exhausted. If funds are still available, funding will continue to the next highest school district(
s) based on total preference points. If the Board does not have sufficient funding to fully fund a school district’s project, that school district has the op- tion to accept the partial funding as full and final. If the school district chooses to decline the partial funding, then OPSC may offer the partial funding to the next ap- proved application in the preference order. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.16 specifies the process in which funds will be released to school districts with SAB−approved applications. School districts that have none or only a portion of the supporting documents required for a full fund release, may indicate that they will need an advance for design or site acquisition. This advance of funds will help school districts move forward with their projects. If a school district is doing a new construction project with an advance release of funding, then they will receive 40 percent of the new construction base grant.
If a school district is applying for a retrofit project, and they have none or only a portion of appropriate supporting docu- mentation then they may apply for an advance release of funding of 25 percent of the base grant. These percent- ages are identical to those in the SFP Regulations for standard new construction and modernization projects. When a school district is requesting two percent for oth- er site costs for site acquisition assistance, a grant agree- ment must be executed and received by OPSC.
For funds other than two percent site other to be released for either site acquisition, design or site other, a grant agreement must be executed and received by OPSC.
OPSC must ensure that specific requirements have been met and those requirements are: the school district has entered into escrow for the site and the escrow must be valid, there has been a final appraisal of the site, the school district has either received contingent or final site approval from CDE, a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Release Authorization, has been received; for a new construction or retrofit project, all unreleased funds will be released once an executed full grant agree- ment has been received by OPSC, along with verifica- tion of these documents: the school district’s applicable matching share has been deposited or expended by the school district for the project, with the exception of fi- nancial hardship projects which are exempt from this requirement (requirements for financial hardship may be found in 1860.14); the school district has entered into a binding contract(
s) for the completion of the project; the plans and specifications for the project have been approved by DSA. If there has been site acquisition then a final appraisal of the site, the site received written final approval from CDE, and the school district has entered into escrow for the site. Finally, for all remaining funds to be released, all requirements above must be met, as well as a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Release Autho- rization, and grant agreement has been received by OPSC.
For school districts that request either a new con- struction or retrofit grant that did not request an advance release of funding, a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Re- lease Authorization, must be submitted with all the re- quired approvals within 180 days of apportionment. If a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Release Authorization, request is not submitted within 180 days, the apportion- ment will be rescinded.
For school districts that receive an advance release of funding for either new construc- tion or retrofit projects, a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Release Authorization, must be submitted to OPSC with 12 months of apportionment. If a valid Form SAB 70−02, Fund Release Authorization, is not received within 12 months, then the apportionment shall be re- scinded and returned to the Program for reallocation. Subject to available funds, site acquisition grants shall be adjusted based on actual costs prior to the release of funds.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 565 Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.17 sets forth the requirement that an authorized school dis- trict representative must sign and submit a grant agree- ment prior to the release of any program funds. Educa- tion Code
Section 17375(
e) requires school districts who receive FDKFGP funding to execute and submit a grant agreement to OPSC before the release of any pro- gram funds. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.18 sets forth reporting requirements that school districts receiving program funding must meet. A school district that has received funds in accordance with the program must submit an expenditure report at the completion of the project. School districts must submit a valid Form SAB 70−03, Expenditure Report.
A project is consid- ered complete when either of the following occurs: 1) When the notice of completion has been filed; all out- standing invoices, claims, and change orders have been satisfied and the facility is currently in use by the school district; or 2) One year from the final fund release. A fi- nal expenditure report shall be due one year after the first expenditure report. OPSC will use the information provided on this form to ensure that expenditures made by the school districts for their FDKFGP projects com- ply with statute and other applicable State requirements pertaining to construction.
Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.19 specifies how remaining funding may be used after project completion. Project savings and unexpended funds are the different types of remaining funds from FDKFGP projects. School districts that are not finan- cial hardship are able to expend their project savings, including interest, that are not needed for the FDKFGP project on other high priority capital facility needs of the school district. Any savings not expended within one year of project completion must be returned to the State.
School districts that are financial hardship that have any unexpended funds from the FDKFGP project and that were not spent on eligible expenditures, must be returned to the State upon completion of the project. Any interest earned on State funds for financial hard- ship grant funding that is not expended on eligible project expenditures must be returned to the State to help reduce the financial hardship contribution for that project. A school district is only required to return unex- pended funds up to the amount of the financial hardship grant provided by the SAB. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.20 specifies the audit process and requirements that school districts who receive FDKFGP funding will be subject to, as required in Education Code
Section 17375(h). Projects will be subjected to an audit conducted pur- suant to Education Code
Section 41024 to ensure the expenditures incurred by the school district were made in accordance with Education Code
Section 17375. School districts must retain all documents and records referring to the FDKFGP project and should be able to provide them if an auditor requests the documents. If an audit determines that funding was spent on ineligible expenditures, CDE shall ensure that the school district corrects the audit exception by implementing an equal penalty payment of funds. Proposed adoption of Regulation
Section 1860.21 sets forth the requirement for school districts receiving FDKFGP funds to certify that a restricted account with- in the school district’s general fund has been established for the purpose of providing on−going and major repair of its facilities. Proposed adoption of Form SAB 70−01, Application for Funding (which is incorporated by reference) will be used by school districts to apply for program fund- ing. The form also serves as a certification from the dis- trict regarding compliance with requirements of the law and FDKFGP Regulations. School districts must sub- mit this form during the funding rounds described in Regulation
Section 1860.6. OPSC will use this form in order to collect the information necessary to calculate the amount of grants applicable to the project and to de- termine project funding order. Proposed adoption of Form SAB 70−02, Fund Re- lease Authorization (which is incorporated by refer- ence) will be used by school districts to request the re- lease of funds when projects have received an appor- tionment by the SAB. The applicant will certify on this form that it has already submitted the signed grant agreement, or the signed grant agreement is accompa- nying the Form SAB 70−02.
After an FDKFGP appor- tionment has been made by the Board, OPSC will re- lease the apportioned funds once the school district completes and submits this form to OPSC. School dis- tricts who receive grants without an advance release of funds must submit this form with all required approvals within 180 days of apportionment. School districts who receive grants with an advance release of funds must then submit this form with all required approvals within 12 months of apportionment.
Adoption of the proposed Form SAB 70−03, Expen- diture Report, will be used by school districts to report their project savings and unexpended funds. Expendi- ture reports must be submitted within one year of final fund release or at the completion of the FDKFGP project. A final savings report must be submitted within one year of the completion of the project. Financial hardship projects must submit their unexpended funds at the completion of their project.
OPSC will use the in- formation provided on this form to ensure that expendi- tures made by the school districts for FDKFGP projects comply with statute and other applicable State require- ments pertaining to construction.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 566 Proposed adoption of the grant agreement template (which is incorporated by reference) includes sections relevant to the FDKFGP for new construction and retro- fit funding. It is the intent that the grant agreement will be entered into for every funding application that is pro- cessed; therefore, each grant agreement will contain the relevant project information.
The grant agreements serve as binding documents and key resources that de- fine the responsibilities of the state and school districts from the determination of the amount eligible state funding to the reporting of all project funds, including any savings achieved. This will ensure greater trans- parency and accountability for the program grants be- ing awarded under FDKFGP.
After conducting a review, the SAB has concluded that these are the only regulations on this subject area (construction of and/or retrofit of existing school facili- ties for the sole purpose of providing kindergarten classrooms), and therefore, the proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State laws and regulations. The proposed regulations are within the SAB’s authority to enact regulations for the FDKFGP under Education Code
Section 17373(
g) and Government Code
Section 15503. Forms Incorporated by Reference • Application for Funding, Form SAB 70−01 (New 10/18), referenced in Regulation

Section 1860.2 and is incorporated by reference. • Grant Agreement (New 10/18), referenced in Regulation
Section 1860.2 and is incorporated by reference. IMPACT ON LOCAL AGENCIES OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS The Executive Officer of the SAB has determined that the proposed regulations do not impose a mandate or a mandate requiring reimbursement by the State pur- suant to
Part 7 (commencing with
Section 17500) of Di- vision 4 of the Government Code. It will not require lo- cal agencies or school districts to incur additional costs in order to comply with the proposed regulations.
DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION The Executive Officer of the SAB has made the fol- lowing 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 regulations create 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 regulations create 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 IMPACT ANALYSIS Impact to Businesses and Jobs in California The proposed regulations implement the FDKFGP, which allows school districts that lack the facilities to provide full−day kindergarten to apply for one−time grants to construct new school facilities or retrofit exist- ing school facilities for the sole purpose of providing full−day kindergarten classrooms. Many aspects of the FDKFGP are based on similari- ties in the Leroy F.
Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 (School Facility Program), such as state share/district share funding of projects, Financial Hardship, site ac- quisition guidelines, etc. just to name a few. The School Facility Program is a $42 billion voter−approved school facilities construction program. Although the FDKFGP is not the primary school facilities construction pro- gram, it does provide funding dedicated to construction of new facilities and/or retrofit of existing facilities for
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 567 kindergarten classrooms only. In making these state- ments, manufacturing and construction−related indus- tries may be competing for construction jobs for both the FDKFGP and the School Facility Program because of funds apportioned to school districts from both pro- grams. The funds will be released once the school dis- tricts submit the fund release form and associated grant agreement.
It is anticipated that there will be a positive impact to the State’s economy and the potential for job creation because school districts are able to utilize these funds right away for their construction projects. Therefore, the proposed regulations will most likely have a positive effect on the State’s economy, creation of jobs, creation of new businesses, and expansion of businesses, and will not eliminate jobs or eliminate ex- isting businesses within California.
Benefits to Public Health and Welfare, Worker Safety, and the State’ s Environment • The proposed regulations promote the State’s general welfare, including protection of public health and safety, by assisting in increasing the State’s infrastructure investment of school facilities. • The proposed regulations also promote fairness and/or social equity by providing one−time general fund dollars to those school districts that may be able to construct new facilities or retrofit existing facilities in an effort to provide kindergarten facilities. • There are benefits to health, safety, and welfare of California residents (school children and school faculty) because kindergarten facilities will be built stronger and safer. • There are continued benefits to the health and welfare of California residents and worker safety.
School districts utilize construction and trades employees to work on school construction projects and although these proposed regulations do not directly impact worker safety, existing law provides for the availability of a skilled labor force and encourages improved health and safety of construction and trades employees through proper apprenticeship and training.
Further, public health and safety is enhanced because a properly paid and trained workforce will build school construction projects that are higher quality, structurally code−compliant and safer for use by pupils, staff, and other occupants on the site. • There is no impact to the State’s environment from the proposed regulations. The SAB finds the proposed regulations fully consis- tent with the stated purposes and benefits. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESSES It has been determined that the proposed regulations will not have a negative impact on small businesses in the ways identified in subsections (a)(1)−(4) of
Section 4, Title 1, CCR. Although the proposed regulations only apply to school districts for purposes of funding kinder- garten classroom projects, the demand on the manufac- turing and construction−related industries could poten- tially stimulate the creation of small businesses in these areas because of funds being released to school districts from both the FDKFGP and the School Facility Program.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 569 the right to limit the length of time each participant has to comment. DEADLINE FOR WRITTEN COMMENTS Any interested party or his or her duly authorized rep- resentative may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulations to the contact person identi- fied in this notice. All written comments must be re- ceived at the department no later than 5:00 p.m., May 27, 2019, the final day of the written comment period, in order for them to be considered by the department be- fore it adopts the proposed regulation.
AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The department proposes to adopt these regulations under the authority granted by Vehicle Code sections 1651 and 38750, in order to implement, interpret, or make specific Vehicle Code sections 410 and 38750. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Senate Bill 1298 (Chapter 570; Statutes of 2012) en- acted V ehicle Code §38750 which requires the DMV to adopt regulations necessary to ensure the safe operation of autonomous vehicles on public roads, with or with- out the presence of a driver inside the vehicle.
The de- partment initially adopted regulations for the testing of autonomous vehicles that require the presence of a driv- er inside the vehicle in 2014. Currently there are 61 manufacturers testing autonomous vehicles with test drivers behind the wheel on public streets in California. Subsequently, the department adopted regulations for the testing of autonomous vehicles that do not require the presence of a driver inside the vehicle and for the submission of an application to the department for the deployment of autonomous vehicles on public roads.
For ease of reference the department refers to the opera- tion of autonomous vehicles by members of the public as “deployment.” Currently there is one manufacturer that has received a permit to test autonomous vehicles that do not require the presence of a driver inside the vehicle. Senate Bill 1298 did not restrict the testing or deploy- ment of autonomous vehicles on public roads to vehi- cles capable of carrying passengers; however,
Section 227.28 of the existing regulations specifies that certain vehicles shall not be approved for testing or deploy- ment. One of the vehicle types excluded under
Section 227.28 is motortrucks. As defined in V ehicle Code Sec- tion 410 a “motortruck” is “a motor vehicle designed, used, or maintained primarily for the transportation of property.” The department is amending
Section 227.28 to include the testing or deployment of autonomous ve- hicles that can be classified as a motortruck with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 10,001 pounds. PROBLEMS THIS DEPARTMENT INTENDS TO ADDRESS AND BENEFITS ANTICIPATED FROM THE REGULATORY ACTION California law, at V ehicle Code
Section 410 defines a motortruck as “a motor vehicle designed, used, or main- tained primarily for the transportation of property.” Current regulations at
Section 227.28 (a)(5) specify that “Vehicles described in Vehicle Code sections 31309 and 34500” shall not be approved for testing or deploy- ment on public roads. Subdivision (
j) of Vehicle Code
Section 34500 specifies that any motortruck “not speci- fied in subdivisions (
a) to (h), inclusive, or subdivision (k), that is regulated by the Department of Motor Vehi- cles, the Public Utilities Commission, or the United States Secretary of Transportation, is subject to regula- tion by the California Highway Patrol. Motortrucks de- livering goods or products are subject to regulation by the DMV and are thus currently excluded from testing or deployment on public roads. A motortruck with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 10,001 pounds fits a business model that the Department of Motor Vehicles has observed gaining momentum.
Due to the current restrictions on testing and deployment some manufacturers interested in de- veloping autonomous motortrucks have been forced to move their testing operations to other states. Those manufacturers indicate an interest to test and initiate pi- lot programs involving autonomous motortrucks in California. The amendment proposed by the depart- ment will allow the testing and deployment of light duty autonomous vehicles to occur on public roads in California.
CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH STATE REGULATIONS The department has conducted a review of other state regulations and has concluded that these are the only regulations related to the process by which an automo- bile manufacturer or company may test the automated operation of motortruck. Therefore, the proposed regu- lations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 570 COMPARABLE FEDERAL STATUTES OR STATE REGULATIONS Motor vehicle safety standards are established by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration; how- ever, there are currently no comparable federal or state regulations related to the testing of automated motortrucks.
ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT DETERMINATIONS The department has made the following initial deter- minations concerning the proposed regulatory action: • Cost or Savings to Any State Agency: None. • Other Non−Discretionary Cost or Savings to Local 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 requiring reimbursement pursuant to Gov. Code
section 17500 et seq.: None. • Cost Impact on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: Other than the costs associated with securing the evidence of financial responsibility as required by Vehicle Code
section 38750, and the costs of applying for a permit to test and deploy vehicles as specified in the regulations, 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. • Small Business Impact: This proposed action may impact small businesses. • Local Agency/School District Mandate: The proposed regulatory action will not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate that requires reimbursement pursuant to
Part 7 (commencing with
Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code. • Significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states: The department does not anticipate any significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This proposed action allows for the testing and deployment of automated motortrucks and is anticipated to benefit businesses in California.
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 determined that this action may impact the creation of jobs, the expansion of businesses currently doing business in California, and will likely provide an assurance of safety to the general public when technology manufacturers and researchers are de- veloping and testing automated vehicle driving systems on public roadways.
The department does not anticipate any impacts to the creation or elimination of existing businesses, to health and worker safety, or the state’s environment. PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS A pre−notice workshop was conducted on October 19, 2018 at the State Capitol. The workshop was attend- ed by participants representing the automotive manu- facturing industry, ride sharing companies, auto clubs, and various city and county governments.
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 would be effective as 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 provisions of law.

BOARD OF PHARMACY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the California State Board of Pharmacy (board) is proposing to take the rulemaking action described below under the head- ing Informative Digest/Policy Statement Overview. Any person interested may present statements or argu- ments relevant to the action proposed in writing. Writ- ten comments, including those sent by mail, facsimile, or e−mail to the addresses listed under Contact Person in this Notice, must be received by the board at its office not later than 5:00 p.m. on May 28, 2019. The board has not scheduled a public hearing on this proposed action.
The board will, however, hold a hear- ing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or his or her authorized rep- resentative, no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period. The board may, after considering all timely and rele- vant comments, adopt the proposed regulations sub- stantially as described in this notice, or may modify the proposed regulations if such modifications are suffi- ciently related to the original text.
With the exception of technical or grammatical changes, the full text of any modified proposal will be available for 15 days prior to its adoption from the person designated in this Notice as the contact person and will be mailed to those persons who submit written or oral testimony related to this pro- posal or who have requested notification of any changes to the proposal. Authority and Reference: Sections 4005 and 4132 of the Business and Professions Code authorize the board to adopt these regulations.
The proposed regulations implement, interpret, and make specific sections 4005, 4026.5, 4044.3, 4052, 4115, 4132 and 4202 of the Busi- ness and Professions Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The California State Board of Pharmacy (board) pro- poses to add and adopt the minimum qualifications for a pharmacy technician to work at a remote dispensing site pharmacy.
Existing pharmacy law specifies that protection of the public is the highest priority for the board in exercis- ing its licensing, regulatory, and disciplinary functions, and it generally authorizes the board to adopt and amend rules and regulations necessary for the protec- tion of the public pertaining to the practice of pharmacy. Additionally, existing law authorizes the board to issue a license to a pharmacy and a pharmacy technician. Assembly Bill (AB) 401 (Aguiar−Curry,
Chapter 548, Statutes of 2017) added, among other things, Busi- ness and Professions Code (B&
P) Sections 4130, 4131 and 4132 to make the following changes: • B&P
section 4130 — Established the board’s authority to issue a remote dispensing site pharmacy (RDSP) license. Additionally, it established that the RDSP shall only be staffed by a pharmacist or a pharmacy technician.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 572 • B&P
section 4131 — Established that, if the RDSP is not staffed by a pharmacist, it shall be staffed by a pharmacy technician who meets the qualifications of B&P
section 4132, with the direct supervision of a pharmacist, which can be done remotely. • B&P
section 4132 — Established that, in addition to B&P
section 4202, a pharmacy technician working at an RDSP shall meet the qualifications promulgated by the board prior to working at an RDSP. Previously, pharmacy law did not allow for the licen- sure of a remote dispensing site pharmacy. This propos- al will adopt the regulation text at
section 1793.9 based on the statutory changes made as a result of AB 401 and the requirement that the board establish minimum qual- ifications for pharmacy technicians working at an RDSP. Specifically, the proposal would: • Specify that a pharmacy technician license be in good standing as defined by B&P
section 4026.5. • Specify that a pharmacy technician possess and maintain a certification issued by an approved certifying program. • Specify that a pharmacy technician have a degree (associate’s in Pharmacy Technology or any bachelor’s degree) or complete a board−approved training program. • Require a minimum of 1,000 hours of work experience in the three years prior to working at an RDSP.
ANTICIPATED BENEFITS OF PROPOSAL This proposal is necessary to establish the specific minimum qualifications for pharmacy technicians working in an RDSP as part of the new statutory re- quirements enacted in AB 401, which increased access to prescription medication and pharmacist care for Cali- fornians living in rural areas by creating an RDSP. Ad- ditionally, consumers will be better protected by setting minimum qualifications for pharmacy technicians, which will guard against having unqualified techni- cians working with remote supervision in an RDSP.
CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING STATE REGULATIONS During the process of developing these regulations and amendments, the board has conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and has concluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor in- compatible with existing state regulations. FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs/ Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: The board may incur minor and absorbable costs as- sociated with routine inspections.
These costs would be absorbed by the board’s existing resources and become part of its regularly scheduled site inspections. The board does not anticipate any costs/savings to other state agencies or costs/savings in federal funding to the state. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies: None. Local Mandate: None. Cost to Any Local Agency or School District for Which Government Code Sections 17500−17630 Require Reimbursement: None.
Business Impact: The board has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses and/or employees including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This determination is based on the absence of testimony to that effect during the development of the proposed regulation, which occurred over a few months. Additionally, the proposed regulation estab- lishes the education and experience of a pharmacy tech- nician working in a remote dispensing site pharmacy.
This may impact available qualified potential employ- ees; however, it should not have a significant fiscal im- pact on businesses. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: There are three options for an individual to obtain a pharmacy technician license to work in California.
The first is through education; they can complete a training course accredited by the American Society of Health− System Pharmacists (ASHP), graduate from a school of pharmacy accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), obtain an Associate De- gree in Pharmacy Technology, or complete a training course that provides a minimum of 240 hours of instruc- tion as required by CCR
section 1793.6(c). The second is through certification and examination; they can suc- cessfully pass the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) or the Exam of the Certification of Phar- macy Technicians (ExCPT). The final option is through military training pursuant to 16 CCR
section 1793.6(b). Obtaining a pharmacy technician license through one of the approved routes would allow the licensee to work as a pharmacy technician in California; however, li- censees would not be able to work in a remote dispens-
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 573 ing site pharmacy until they have met the minimum qualifications specified in this regulatory proposal. The board issued approximately 5,991 pharmacy technician licenses in FY 2016/2017.
Of that, approxi- mately 12 (0.2%) qualified by graduating from a school of pharmacy, approximately 121 (2.0%) qualified by having an Associate Degree in Pharmacy Technology, approximately 1,873 (31.3%) qualified by passing an exam (being certified by a pharmacy technician certify- ing program), and approximately 3,985 (66.5%) quali- fied by completing a board−approved training program. In some cases, when applicants qualify by passing an exam, they also completed a training program to pre- pare them for the exam. In these cases, the board quali- fies the applicant based on the exam and not the training program.
The board does not track when applicants have met both qualifications. The board is unable to de- termine how many of the 1,873 licensees that qualified by passing an exam also completed a training program; however, the board estimates that approximately 25% (468) of those exam qualifiers also completed the train- ing program. There are two exams that applicants and licensees can take to become certified by a pharmacy technician certi- fying program (PTCB or ExCPT). The one−time cost for these exams is $115 and $129, respectively.
This proposed regulation requires that the certification be maintained, which requires the licensee to renew the certification with either PTCB or ExCPT every two years. The certification bi−annual renewal fee costs are $40 and $169, respectively. The exam providers also re- quire 20 hours of continuing education (CE) bi−annual- ly. CE programs are available in 2−hour sessions and cost from zero to $10. Currently, there are approximately 130 pharmacy technician training/degree programs available. The cost of these programs ranges from free (Job Corp), to $19,500 at post−secondary schools.
Pharmacy techni- cians that are PTCB or ExCPT certified and have not completed a training course and do not have a Bache- lor’s degree would need to complete one of these programs. The board estimates that, at most, approximately 460 jobs at a remote site dispensing pharmacy will be avail- able. Additionally, the board estimates that approxi- mately 2% (1,430) of pharmacy technician licensees may seek employment within a remote dispensing site pharmacy. If the percentages from FY 16/17 remain true, approximately 982 licenses may need to take one of the certifying exams.
Of the remaining 448, 336 (75%) pharmacy technicians may need to complete a training program. This would result in a cost ranging from zero to $6,552,000 to the pharmacy technicians depending on the training course the licensee selected to complete. Effect on Housing Costs: None.
EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS While the board does not have nor does it maintain data to define if any of its licensees (pharmacies) are a “small business” as defined in Government Code sec- tion 11342.610, the board has made an initial determi- nation that the proposed regulatory action would not have a significant adverse economic impact directly af- fecting small businesses. This initial determination is based on the absence of testimony to that effect during the development of the proposed regulation, which oc- curred over a few months.
Additionally, the proposed regulation only establishes the education and experi- ence of a pharmacy technician working in a remote dis- pensing site pharmacy. This may impact available qual- ified potential employees; however, it should not have a significant fiscal impact on small businesses. RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/New Businesses: The board concludes that it is:
(1) Unlikely that the proposal will create or eliminate any jobs within California;
(2) Unlikely that the proposal will create new, or eliminate existing, businesses in California;
(3) Unlikely that the proposal will expand businesses currently doing businesses within the state. While it is unlikely that this proposal will impact jobs or businesses, the authority to issue a remote dispensing site pharmacy license, as granted by AB 401, may in- crease the number of licensed pharmacies within Cali- fornia. As a result of AB 401, there could be an increase in available pharmacy technician jobs for individuals who meet the minimum qualifications as specified in this proposal.
Benefits of Regulation: This regulatory proposal benefits the health and wel- fare of California residents because the proposed regu- lation implements AB 401, which established a remote dispensing site pharmacy. This statutory change in- creased access to prescription medication by creating a remote dispensing pharmacy in rural areas, where phar- macies are not readily available. As a result of the statu- tory change, additional entities may apply to become li- censed by the board to establish new remote dispensing site pharmacies in California.
These new remote dis- pensing pharmacies can be staffed by a qualified phar- macy technician and remotely monitored by a pharma- cist, which would result in the availability of additional jobs for qualified pharmacy technicians and allow for
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2019, VOLUME NO. 15-Z 574 better access to prescription medication and remote pharmacist care. This proposal establishes the mini- mum qualifications for said pharmacy technicians. These minimum qualifications may impact qualified potential employees for remote dispensing pharmacies, but do not benefit worker safety in California or the environment.
CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The board must determine that no reasonable alterna- tive it considered to the regulation or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would either be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the pro- posal described in this Notice, or would be more cost ef- fective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.
