If a public hearing is requested, the proposed codes will be submitted to the Commission for review. The Executive Director of the Commission will re - view the above–referenced conflict–of–interest codes, proposed pursuant to Government Code

Section 87300, which designate, pursuant to Government Code

Section 87302, employees who must disclose certain investments, interests in real property and income. The Executive Director of the Commission, upon their own motion or at the request of any interested person, will approve, or revise and approve, or return the proposed codes to the agency for revision and re– submission within 60 days without further notice.

TITLE 13. DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND TITLING The California Department of Motor Vehicles (de - partment) proposes to add

section 158.50 in

Article 3.0,

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

DEADLINE FOR WRITTEN COMMENTS Any interested party or his or her duly authorized representative may submit written comments rele - vant to the proposed regulations to the contact person identified in this notice. All written comments must be received at the department no later than November 4, 2024, the final day of the written comment period, in order for them to be considered by the department before it adopts the proposed regulation. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The department proposes to adopt these regulations under the authority granted by Vehicle Code

section 1651 and Civil Code

section 3068, to implement, in - terpret, or make specific Civil Code sections 3067 through 3074, and Vehicle Code

section 1811. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The California Civil Code sections 3067 through 3074 detail the procedures for lien sales in California. Civil Code sections 3071 and 3072 bifurcate the pro - cess based on the value of a vehicle. Vehicles valued over $4,000 are subject to the procedures established in Civil Code

section 3071 and those valued at $4,000 or less are subject to the procedures established in Civil Code

section 3072. Vehicle Code

section 22670 establishes that when a vehicle is towed at the request of a public agency the estimated value of that vehicle is established by the public agency who ordered the towing of the vehicle unless they opt to not set a value. The statute provides an alternative of the garage keep- er or the garage keepers agent. There is nothing in statute that determines, outside of a lien sale following the towing of a vehicle at the behest of a public agency, the value of a vehicle for lien sale purposes.

BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED REGULATION A lien sale is the process in which a vehicle may be sold to pay a debt that has not been satisfied. In a lien sale all interested parties are notified and the vehicle is then sold to the highest bidder. The California Civil Code outlines the procedures for a lien sale based on the value of a vehicle but is silent, except for in cases of a public agency ordered towing, as how the value is to be determined. Throughout the Civil Code the de - partment is tasked with managing lien sales.

Because the role of the department in the lien process changes based on the value of the vehicle it is imperative that there is a way to equitably establish a process to value vehicles. Currently, there is confusion and uncertainty regarding the valuation process of vehicles subject to a lien sale. The department has therefore determined that it is necessary to adopt a regulation to establish how value for lien sale vehicles is to be calculated. This will benefit the public and businesses when de - termining which procedure must be followed when selling a vehicle through the lien sale process.

CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH STATE REGULATIONS The department conducted a review of other state regulations and has concluded there are no other reg - ulations that establish plate sponsor guidelines for the special interest or specialized license plate pro - grams. Therefore, the proposed regulations are nei - ther inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1253 COMPARABLE FEDERAL STATUTES OR STATE REGULATIONS The department has conducted a search and has de - termined that there are no compatible federal regula - tions or statutes related to vehicle valuation for lien sales. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no documents incorporated by reference.

ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT DETERMINATIONS The department has made the following initial de - terminations concerning the proposed regulatory action: ● Cost or Savings to Any State Agency: None. ● Other Non–Discretionary Cost or Savings to 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 requir- ing reimbursement pursuant to Gov. Code

section 17500 et seq.: None. ● Cost Impact on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: The department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. ● Small Business Impact: This may impact small businesses if the small business is involved in the lien sale process. ● Local Agency/School District Mandate: The pro- posed regulatory action will not impose a man - date on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate that requires reimbursement pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code. ● Significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the abili - ty of California businesses to compete with busi - nesses in other states: The department is not aware of any significant statewide adverse eco - nomic impact directly affecting businesses in - cluding the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT The department has made the initial determination that this action will not impact, 1) the creation or elim- ination of jobs within the State of California, 2) the creation or elimination of existing businesses within the State of California, 3) the expansion of businesses currently doing business within the State of California, or 4) worker safety or the state’s environment. This regulatory proposal may benefit the health and welfare of California residents by increasing protec - tions for consumers who may have vehicles subject to lien sale.

The department has not identified a benefit to worker safety or the state’s environment. PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS A pre–notice workshop, pursuant to Government Code

section 11346.45, is not required because the is- sues addressed in the proposal are not so complex or large in number that they cannot easily be reviewed during the comment period.

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

Section 759, Public Resources Code. Reference: Sections 767 and 782, Public Resources Code.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW (pursuant to GOV 11346.5(a) (3) (A)–(D)) The Professional Foresters Law (PFL) (Public Resources Code (PRC) § 750, et seq.), declares the existence of a public interest in the management and treatment of the forest resources and timberlands of this state and to provide for the regulation of persons who practice the profession of forestry and whose ac - tivities have an impact upon the ecology of forested landscapes and the quality of the forest environment, and through that regulation to enhance the control of air and water pollution, the preservation of scenic beauty, the protection of watersheds by flood and soil erosion control, the production and increased yield of natural resources, including timber, forage, wildlife, and water, and outdoor recreation, to meet the needs of the people.

Pursuant to PRC § 759, the Board is authorized to adopt rules and regulations to affect the provisions of the

article (the Professional Foresters Law), including the regulation of persons who practice the profession of forestry and whose activities have an impact upon the ecology of forested landscapes and the quality of the forest environment (PRC § 751). Additionally, within the PFL, PRC § 782 requires the Board to “…establish by regulation the amount of fees within the following ranges and based on a deter- mination by the board of the amount of revenues rea - sonably necessary to carry out the article.” The

section then outlines maximum fees for certain specified ap - plications, registrations, and other actions. The proposed action was developed, in part, in re - sponse to budgetary investigations by the Office of Foresters Registration with the assistance from CAL FIRE prior to 2020.

After several years of review by the Professional Foresters Examination Committee (PFEC), it had been determined that the Registered Professional Foresters (RPF) Fund which is estab - lished within PRC § 780 and which is used for the ad- ministration of the PFL (PRC § 781), will have insuffi- cient funds to conduct the normal processes and func- tions for the examination and licensing of Professional Foresters and the Certified Specialty program by fiscal 2019–20. Much of this problem stemmed from a re - duced number of registrants and a fee structure that has not changed for 28 years since last revised in 1991.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1256 In 2019, the PFEC made recommendations to insti - tute a substantial renewal fee increase of 84% for RPFs and 86% for Certified Rangeland Managers (CRMs). The PFEC also discounted the renewal fee for RPFs with 30 years or more in the registry to retain those RPFs during the substantial renewal fee increase. The PFEC also increased other fees listed under 14 CCR 1605 (

b) and added new regulatory text under 14 CCR 1605 (

e) requiring the PFEC to review fund condition a minimum of every five years to avoid the substantial fee increase that went into effect in 2020. These ac - tions helped to maintain the Registered Professional Forest Fund over the last five years The problem is that, even with various cost– cutting and revenue generating measures which have already been implemented, the Registered Professional Foresters Fund will not be solvent enough for con - tinued effective administration of the Professional Foresters law over the next five–year period starting in 2025.

Additionally, internal renewal surveys indi - cate the percentage of 30–year RPFs remains at over 40% of the registry and 27% are now retired but con - tinue to pay their renewal fee to support licensing. This is good news, but with each proposed renewal fee increase there remains the potential risk to fund solvency since eventually this large cadre of RPFs will relinquish their license.

This will significantly impact revenues from the Professional Forester Fund and re - duce valuable professional skills and experience from the workforce at a time where implementation of forest health or fuel reduction projects, which require RPF involvement, are critically needed. The funds which are available for the administration of the PFL are gen- erated through fees collected pursuant to the PFL and, though good governance would establish requirements for the evaluation of these funds to ensure continued administration of the PFL for the public good.

With the adoption of 14 CCR 1605 (e), the mechanism now exists to address the fund condition every 5 years and current projections are that the fund will be insolvent after next year (2025). Data was utilized from CAL FIRE accounting re - ports. Utilizing the PFEC projection assumptions of 5% increase annually in new RPFs and 10% reduction in 30–year RPFs, it was determined that a minimum biennial fee to maintain fund integrity to maintain the fund solvency for another five years will require at a minimum a $70 increase in the current renewal fee for RPFs, 30–year RPFs and CFMs.

The purpose of the proposed action is to raise re - newal fees to ensure the continued functions of the Office of Foresters Registration including the review of applicants for examination, examination develop - ment and implementation, proctoring, and grading. Other functions supported by the RPF fund include complaint review, investigations, complaint process - ing, litigation, record keeping, renewal processing, distribution of licensing information to the regis - try, and general administration of the Professional Foresters Law.

The purpose is to also provide for ef - ficient payment processing for registrants, clarify the process and procedures for appeals of examinations and qualifications for license applicants, and to sup - port the fund through implementation of fund reviews every five years at a minimum, and fee discounts to retain the most experienced professional forester reg - istrants to help offset revenue losses and retain experi- enced RPFs. Approximately 73% of costs to the fund are associated with personnel costs for Board employ- ees operating the foresters licensing and specialties program.

These costs largely increase at an estimated 2% per year as outlined in employee bargaining unit agreements. The other 27% of the fund’s costs are pri- marily associated with contracts for exam preparation and administration, exam grading, PFEC per diem expenditures, and pro rata charges from CAL FIRE. These costs can vary year to year depending on the number of applicants sitting for the examination, the number of committee meetings, and both incurred and projected expenses from CAL FIRE.

The largest com- ponent of costs is associated with the RPF and CRM examinations where the revenue generated from the application fee is at the statutory limit of $200, yet the costs incurred for exam development, administration and grading exceed this amount by approximately $200. Without an action by the legislature or an ap - proved budget change proposal, the statutory limit for the application fee cannot be increased.

The effect of the proposed action is to increase the available revenue to the RPF fund at operable levels by increasing renewal fees associated with the Office of Professional Foresters Registration, thereby ensur - ing the RPF fund solvency to 2030. The proposed ac - tion equates to a 20% biennial fee increase for RPFs, a 25% increase for 30–year RPF registrants, and ap - proximately 53% for CRM. It should be noted that the licensing office does not collect application fees from the CRM specialty program and only collects fees af - ter a CRM applicant becomes licensed.

This is done to maintain the independence of the certified program as it relates to the Board for legal purposes.

The benefit of the proposed action is fund sol - vency so the processes and benefits of licensing for Registered Professional Foresters and Certified Specialists are maintained and the continual support and administration of the Professional Foresters Law is achieved, preserving the associated environmental benefits from having trained, licensed professionals to remain engaged in the professional practice of forestry as well as to oversee the work product of license appli- cants, consistent with 14 CCR § 1622. There is no comparable Federal regulation or statute.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1257 Board staff conducted an evaluation on wheth - er the proposed action is inconsistent or incompati - ble 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 de - velopment of the proposed action to ensure the con - sistency and compatibility of the proposed action with existing State regulations.

Otherwise, Board staff evaluated the balance of existing State regulations re - lated to licensing fees for Professional Foresters and Certified Specialists and found no existing State reg - ulations that met the same purpose as the proposed action. Based on this evaluation and effort, the Board has determined that the proposed regulations are nei - ther inconsistent nor incompatible with existing State regulations. The proposed regulation is entirely con - sistent and compatible with existing Board rules. Statute to which the proposed action was compared: PRC §§ 750 et seq.

MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS The proposed action is not mandated by Federal law or regulations. The proposed action neither conflicts with, nor du - plicates, Federal regulations. There are no comparable Federal regulations re - lated to licensing fees for Professional Foresters of Certified Specialists. 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 stat- ute 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 dis - trict that is required to be reimbursed under

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code. A local agency or school district has the authority to levy service charges, fees, or assessments sufficient to pay for the program or level of service mandated by the act, within the meaning of

Section 17556 of the Government Code. The proposed action will not result in the imposition of other non–discretionary costs or savings to local agencies. The proposed action will not result in costs or sav - ings in Federal funding to the State. The proposed action will not result in costs to any State agency. The proposed action represents an ex - pansion of existing regulations related to licensing fees which will improve the ability of the State agency to operate. The proposed action will not result in the imposition of other non–discretionary costs or savings to local agencies.

HOUSING COSTS (pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a) (12)) The proposed action will not significantly affect housing costs. SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS, INCLUDING ABILITY TO COMPETE (pursuant to GOV §§ 11346.3(a), 11346.5(a) (7) and 11346.5(a) (8)) The proposed action will not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states (by making it costlier to produce goods or services in California).

FACTS, EVIDENCE, DOCUMENTS, TESTIMONY, OR OTHER EVIDENCE RELIED UPON TO SUPPORT INITIAL DETERMINATION IN THE NOTICE THAT THE PROPOSED ACTION WILL NOT HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS (pursuant to GOV § 11346.2(b) (5) and GOV § 11346.5(a) (8)) Contemplation by the Board of the economic impact of the provisions of the proposed action through the lens of the decades of contemplating the implementation of the Professional Foresters Law that the Board brings to bear on regulatory development.

Additionally, data was utilized from CAL FIRE accounting reports for necessary operating costs associated with the imple - mentation of the Professional Foresters Law.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1258 STATEMENTS OF THE RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (EIA) The results of the economic impact assessment are provided below pursuant to GOV § 11346.5(a) (10) and prepared pursuant to GOV § 11346.3(b) (1) (A)– (D).

SMALL BUSINESS (defined in GOV 11342.610) Small businesses, within the meaning of GOV § 11342.610, may be affected by the proposed action. It is estimated that roughly 10 percent of those business- es affected by the proposed action (i.e. those businesses which are, or cover the fees for, Registered Professional Foresters or Certified Specialists), are small business- es, as described within GOV § 11342.610, though the total number of those businesses are unknown. These small businesses are legally required to comply with the proposed amendments. Small business, pursuant to 1 CCR § 4(a):

(1) Is legally required to comply with the regulation;

(2) Is not legally required to enforce the regulation;

(3) Does not derive a benefit from the enforcement of the regulation;

(4) May incur a detriment from the enforcement of the regulation if they do not comply with the regulation. Pursuant to 1 CCR § 4 (b), the reason(

s) the regula- tion affects small business are the same as provided in the Economic Impact Analysis in the Initial Statement of Reasons.

CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with GOV § 11346.5(a) (13), the Board must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Board, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the ac- tion is proposed, or would be as effective and less bur- densome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected pri- vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

BOARD OF PHARMACY INDEPENDENT HIV PREEXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS FURNISHING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the California State Board of Pharmacy (Board) proposes taking the rulemaking action described below under the head - ing Informative Digest/Policy Statement Overview. Any person interested may present statements or ar - guments, relevant to the action proposed, in writing. Written comments, including those sent by mail, fac - simile, or email to the addresses listed under Contact Persons in this Notice, must be received by the Board at its office by November 4, 2024.

PUBLIC HEARING The Board has not scheduled a public hearing on this proposed action. However, the Board will hold a hearing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or that person’s authorized representative, no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period. A hearing may be requested by making such request in writing addressed to the individuals listed under “Contact Persons” in this notice.

The Board may, after holding a hearing if request - ed and considering all timely and relevant comments, adopt the proposed regulations substantially as de - scribed in this notice, or may modify the proposed regulations if such modifications are sufficiently relat- ed 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 adop- tion from the persons designated in this Notice as the Contact Persons and will be mailed to those persons who submit written or oral testimony related to this proposal or who have requested notification of any changes to the proposal. Authority and Reference : Pursuant to the authority vested by Business and Professions Code (BPC) sec - tions 4005 and 4052.02, the Board proposes amending

section 1747 of Division 17 of Title 16 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Board is a state agency vested with the author - ity to license and regulate the pharmacy industry, including pharmacies, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians BPC

section 4000, et seq.). The Board’s mandate and mission are to protect the public (BPC

section 4001.1). Clinical trials have demonstrated HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to be safe and effective in reduc - ing the risk of contracting HIV infection if an at–risk individual adheres to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–recommended (CDC) PrEP regimen — a daily oral dose of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate with emtricitabine (TDF/FTC, commonly known by the brand name Truvada) — at the time of their expo - sure to HIV.

In addition, data indicates that adherence to a 28– day course of the “preferred” or “alternative” three– drug regimens recommended by the CDC is safe and effective in reducing the risk of infection after expo - sure to HIV when taken as soon as possible, but no later than 72 hours after exposure. Creating access points to CDC–recommended PrEP and PEP consultation and treatment in pharmacies is

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1260 critical to the health, safety, and general welfare of California residents and helps save lives. Pharmacists are well positioned to independently initiate and fur - nish PrEP and PEP as they are trusted healthcare providers who are highly accessible to patients with - in their communities.

Further, access to pharmacist– initiated PrEP and PEP treatment enables at–risk indi- viduals seeking PrEP to start the treatment sooner, en- abling their body to build maximum protection from HIV infection sooner, and enables individuals who have been exposed to HIV to start PEP sooner with - in its 72–hour window of effectiveness post exposure, improving outcomes for those individuals. However, pharmacists cannot provide adequate PrEP consultation and treatment without having access to the necessary patient records.

The proposed regula- tory changes will extend the maintenance of patient records related to the furnishing of preexposure pro - phylaxis, ensuring pharmacists have the information they need to comply with BPC

section 4052.02(e) (7) and provide patients with the medication and services they need. The Board is proposing to amend CCR

section 1747 related to the independent initiation and furnishing of PrEP and HIV postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) as rec- ommended by the CDC to patients, as authorized by Senate Bill (SB) 339 (Wiener,

Chapter 1, Statutes of 2024). HIV is a deadly virus spread through specific bodily fluids; however, transmission can be prevent - ed with treatment of the antiretroviral medications of PrEP and PEP, based on the type of exposure. The proposed regulation would establish the re - quirement that documentation of preexposure prophy- laxis furnished and services provided shall be main - tained in patient records, in the record system main - tained by the pharmacy, for a minimum of three years from the date when the preexposure prophylaxis was furnished.

Such records shall be made available upon request of the Board, consistent with the provisions of BPC sections 4081 and 4105. On February 6, 2024, SB 339 was approved by Governor Gavin Newsom. SB 339 authorizes a phar - macist to furnish up to a 90–day course of preexpo - sure prophylaxis, or preexposure prophylaxis beyond a 90–day course, if specified conditions are met. BPC

section 4052.02(e) (7) specifies that a pharmacist can - not furnish more than a 90–day course of preexposure prophylaxis to a single patient more than once every two years (unless directed otherwise by a prescriber). The Board was required to adopt emergency regu - lations to implement the updated BPC provisions by October 31, 2024, and the Board did so, approving text (to be adopted as an emergency regulation at 16 CCR 1747) on April 25, 2024. The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the text on August 14, 2024. The Board takes this action to certify its compliance with Government Code

section 11346.1(

e) to make the emergency amendments to the regulation permanent, and makes additional nonsubstantive revisions to the permanent text. Anticipated Benefits of Proposal Protection of the public is the Board’s highest pri - ority in exercising its licensing, regulatory, and disci - plinary functions. The Board has determined that this regulatory proposal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents.

Creating access points to CDC–recommended PrEP and PEP consultation and treatment in pharmacies is critical to the health, safety, and general welfare of California residents and helps save lives. Pharmacists are well positioned to independently initiate and fur - nish PrEP and PEP as they are trusted healthcare providers who are highly accessible to patients with - in their communities.

Further, access to pharmacist– initiated PrEP and PEP treatment enables at–risk indi- viduals seeking PrEP to start the treatment sooner, en- abling their body to build maximum protection from HIV infection sooner, and enables individuals who have been exposed to HIV to start PEP sooner with - in its 72–hour window of effectiveness post exposure, improving outcomes for those individuals. The proposed regulatory changes will extend the maintenance of patient records related to the furnish - ing of preexposure prophylaxis, ensuring pharmacists have the information they need to comply with BPC

section 4052.02(e) (7) and provide patients with the medication and services they need, thereby benefiting the health and welfare of California residents. This regulatory proposal does not affect employee safety or the state’s environment. Evaluation of Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations During the process of developing this regulatory proposal, the Board conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and concluded that these reg- ulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ACTION FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs/Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: The regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state. The regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state in the form of federal funding or any cost or savings to any state agency.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1261 Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agencies: None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Require Reimbursement: None. Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Districts: None. Significant Effect on Housing Costs: None.

Business Impact Estimates: The Board has made an initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no sig - nificant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. The pharmacy may have a minimal expense relat - ed to the records retention requirement; however, the Board believes the expense to be minimal, as the re - cords can be maintained electronically, and their re - tention is necessary to ensure compliance with BPC

section 4052.02. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business: The Board is not aware of any negative cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/New Businesses: The Board concludes that this proposal will not: (1) create jobs within California; (2) eliminate jobs within California; (3) create new businesses within California; (4) eliminate existing businesses within California; and (5) expand businesses currently doing business in the State of California. The Board determined that this proposal will not cre- ate or eliminate jobs or businesses. This proposal will ensure pharmacists have the information they need to comply with BPC

section 4052.02(e) (7) and provide patients with the medication and services they need, which benefits the health and welfare of California residents and does not impact jobs or businesses. This regulatory proposal does not affect employee safety or the state’s environment. Business Reporting Requirements This regulatory proposal does not require business - es to file a report with the Board. Effect on Small Business: While the Board does not have, nor does it main - tain, data to determine if any of its licensees (phar - macies and clinics) are a “small business”, as defined in Government Code

section 11342.610, the Board has determined that the proposed regulatory action may impact small businesses. The pharmacy may have a minimal expense related to the records retention re - quirement; however, the Board believes the expense to be minimal, as the records can be maintained elec - tronically, and their retention is necessary to ensure compliance with BPC

section 4052.02. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5(a) (13), the Board has determined that no rea- sonable alternative it considered to the regulation, 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, as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposal described in this Notice, or more cost– effective to affected private persons and equally ef - fective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

Any interested person may submit comments — relevant to the above determinations — in writing, at the address listed below for the Contact Persons during the written comment period, or at the hearing if one is scheduled or requested.

section 11152 authorizes the Department to implement this regulatory action. This action is proposed to implement, interpret, or make specific Welfare and Institutions Code sections 4427.5, 4436.5, 4502, 4659.2 and 15600; and Penal Code sec- tion 11164. INFORMATIVE DIGEST AND POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW (PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 11346.5(a) (3)) Sections Affected : The Department proposes amendments to sections 54327 54327.1, 56002, 56026, 56038, 56059 and 56093 title 17, California Code of Regulations (CCR).

Summary of Existing Laws and Regulations and the Effect of the Proposed Regulatory Action: Special Incident Reporting Requirements under title 17, sections 54327 and 54327.1, will be amended to provide clarity of terms and consistent of reporting procedures across vendors and regional centers, sec - tions 56002, 56026, 56038, 56059 and 56093 will be amended to update any

section references for special incident reporting requirements amended through this regulatory action. Policy Statement Overview Objectives Special incidents are critical and unexpected events that happen to an individual, many signifying possi - ble health or safety concerns or the need for additional services and supports. Regulations require vendors, long–term health care facilities, and regional centers to report certain special incidents. When a provider learns about an incident, they make a report to the individual’s regional center. This information is recorded in a secure database at the regional center.

The regional center then reports the incident to the Department. Regional center staff will likely contact the individual or their provider to learn more, to ensure that the individual is safe and has the supports and services that they need. Sometimes a special incident report may reveal that the individual needs additional services or supports, even for a short period of time.

Definitions do not currently exist for these report - able events. This has contributed to inconsistency in reporting across vendors and regional centers. The list of incidents that must be reported has not changed in many years. Given the evolution of the service delivery system in the intervening time, the Department recognizes that revisions are needed.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1264 Special incident reporting requirements must be feasible, useful, and actionable. They should have a nexus to health and safety and to ensuring delivery of necessary, quality services and supports. The Department has had several months of dis - cussions with stakeholders, for input of how to best amend regulations to ensure health and safety and the delivery of quality services and supports.

Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations Consistent terms and clear reporting procedures will provide vendors, long term health care facilities and regional centers with the clarity necessary to re - port special incidents appropriately and enhance the Department’s ability to analyze incident trends and develop statewide risk mitigation for critical events. Appropriate special incident reporting allows for re - view of those incidents to evaluate if the individual served needs additional services or supports and may also help prevent future incidents of abuse and neglect.

The Department received feedback from the Office of Inspector General on which reportable incidents were not appropriately reported or captured. The Department has used information from the Office of Inspector General, the abuse reporting act, and exist - ing SIR data to identify the amendments necessary to the SIR regulations. Evaluation of Inconsistency or Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations (Gov.

Code, § 11346.5(a) (3) (D)): During the process of developing the proposed reg - ulatory action, DDS conducted a search of any similar regulations on this topic and concluded these regula - tions are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS (Gov. Code, §§ 11346.2(

c) and 11346.9) Not Applicable. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (4)) None. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department has made the following initial determinations: Local Mandate (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (5)) Under Government Code sections 11346.5, subdi - vision (a) (5), DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory action would not impose a mandate on any local agency or school district that requires reimburs - able by the state under Government Code, title 2, divi- sion 4,

part 7 (commencing with § 17500). Fiscal Impacts (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (6)): Under Government Code

section 11346.5(a) (5), DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory ac - tion would not impose a mandate on any local agency or school district that requires reimbursement by the state under Government Code, title 2, division 4,

part 7 (commencing with § 17500). Cost to any local agency or school district requiring reimbursement under

section 17500 et seq.: DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory action would not create costs or savings to any local agency or school district. Cost or savings to any state agency: DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory action would not create costs or savings to any state agency. Other non–discretionary costs or savings on local agencies: DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory action would not create costs or savings to any oth - er nondiscretionary cost or savings to state or local agencies.

Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: DDS has determined that the proposed regulatory action would not create costs or savings in federal funding to the state. Housing Costs (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (12)): In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5(a) (12), the Department has made the initial determination that the proposed regulatory action will not have a significant effect on housing costs. These proposed regulations do not impact housing since they only affect individuals committed to the Department and in Department custody. SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS, INCLUDING ABILITY TO COMPETE (Gov.

Code, §§ 11346.3(a), 11346.5(a) (7), and 11346.5(a) (8)) DDS has made an initial determination that the pro- posed regulatory action would not have a significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California busi - nesses to compete with businesses in other states, or on representative private persons.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1265 STATEMENT OF RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (10)): (

A) The creation of jobs within the State of California. The Department does not anticipate that this reg - ulatory action would have an impact on the cre - ation of jobs within the State of California. (

B) The elimination of jobs within the State of California. The Department does not anticipate that this regulatory action would have an im - pact on the elimination of jobs within the State of California. (

C) The creation of new business within the State of California. The Department does not anticipate that this regulatory action would have an impact on the creation of new business within the State of California. (

D) The elimination of existing businesses within the State of California. The Department does not an - ticipate that this regulatory action would have an impact on the elimination of existing businesses within the State of California. (

E) The expansion of businesses currently do - ing business within the State of California. The Department does not anticipate that this regulato- ry action would have an impact on the expansion of business within the State of California. (

F) The benefits of the regulation to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment. The Department an - ticipates that this regulatory action would con - tribute to the health and welfare of California res- idents receiving regional center services. COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PRIVATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (9)) In developing this regulatory proposal, DDS staff evaluated the potential economic impacts on represen- tative private persons or businesses.

DDS is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private per - son or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. BUSINESS REPORT (Gov. Code, §§ 11346.5(a) (11) and 11346.3(d)) In accordance with Government Code sections 11346.5(a) (11) and 11346.3(d), the Department finds the reporting requirements of the proposed regulatory action which apply to businesses are necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the people of the State of California.

The Department does not anticipate the proposal to result in any additional reporting require - ments, because special incident reporting already ex - ists. The additional reporting added to the proposal are incidents that should already be reporting and have been added to clarify the regulations. The clarification to the regulations will likely reduce reporting that is not necessary. EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS (Cal. Code Regs., Title 1, § 4(

a) and (b)) DDS has determined under California Code of Regulations, title 1,

section 4, that the proposed reg - ulatory action would not affect small businesses be - cause these are primarily changes to clarify and add

definitions with minimal changes to current expecta - tions for vendors, long term healthcare facilities, and regional centers. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (13)) In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), the Department must de- termine 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, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provisions of law.

During the public hearing and written comment pe - riod, DDS invites interested persons to present state - ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulation. AGENCY CONTACT PERSONS (Gov. Code, § 11346.5(a) (14)) Inquiries concerning the substance of the proposed regulatory action may be directed to the agency rep - resentative Aaron Christian, Deputy Director, (951) 405–0214 or Ryan Langen, Staff Services Manager III, 916–651–8189. AVAILABILITY OF DOCUMENTS (Gov.

Code, § 11346.5(a) (16)) The Department has compiled a record for this rulemaking action which includes all the information upon which the proposal is based, including an Initial Statement of Reasons (ISOR) for the proposed regula- tory action and the proposed regulation text.

Chapter 7. Transitional Housing Placement Program INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW OVERVIEW: (

a) These proposed regulations provide the fol - lowing: 1) they retire the Interim Licensing Standards (ILS) governing Transitional Housing Placement Providers (THPPs) serving nonminor dependents (NMD); 2) incorporate various statute and stakeholder feedback to modernize and streamline the licensing and oversight of THPPs; and 3) the regulations provide further clarity and consistency across regulations for the license type and for other license types overseen by Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD). Existing law in the Community Care Facilities Act, Health and Safety Code (HSC)

section 1559.110, man- dates that the CDSS license THPPs for participants who are either minor foster children or nonminor dependents. Currently, THPPs are overseen by regu - lations CCR, Title 22, Division 6,

Chapter 7, as well as ILS — temporary rules with the enforcement of regulations that are used to implement law until stan - dards can be replaced with these proposed Title 22 regulations. (

b) Due to the changes implemented by HSC sec - tion 1559.110, Assembly Bill (AB) 12 (Chapter 559, Statutes of 2010) to include the federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–351), Senate Bill (SB) 1013 (Chapter 35, Statutes of 2011), SB 612 (Chapter 731, Statutes of 2017), AB 592 (Chapter 702, Statutes of 2021), and changes to personal rights made by AB 175 (Chapter 416, Statutes of 2019), CDSS, Children’s Residential Program began developing this regulation package that adopts a new subchapter to regulations focusing solely on THPPs serving NMD and also amends existing law for all THPP licensees and those specifically serving minors. (

c) Similar regulations already exist in CCR, Title 22, Division 6,

Chapter 7 Transitional Housing Placement Program and currently only apply to mi - nors, or exist in the ILS overseeing THPP–NMDs. The proposed regulations simply amend and adopt the ILS into regulations while making various changes brought by statute over the years. The amendments to regulations in

Chapter 7 more clearly denote which regulations apply to both minors and NMDs and which do not. Overall, these regulations bring together the various disparate regulations, standards, and stat - utes and ensure that they apply appropriate across both THPP license types. These include the following: AB 12 and SB 1013 In 2010, AB 12, The California Fostering Connections to Success Act became law, allowing California to implement provisions of the federal Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–351).

Whereas, Public Law 110–351 amended parts B and E of title IV of the Social Security Act to connect and support relative caregivers, improve outcomes for children in foster care, provide for tribal foster care and adoption access, improve incentives for adoption, and for other purposes; AB 12 is how California en - acted these federal changes and allowed for the state to extend foster care for NMD. Furthermore, SB 1013 extended THPP services to NMD (youth up to age 21) and required that programs that serve both foster children and NMD have separate rules and program designs for the two groups of youth.

As required by AB 12, the CCLD developed ILS for NMD in consultation with a broad base of speci - fied stakeholders. The standards created were the ILS, sanctioned by HSC

section 1502.7, regarding the adop- tion of emergency regulations, and were exempt from initial review by OAL. Since the approval of AB 12, THPPs for nonminor dependents (THPP–NMD) have been using the AB 12 ILS to guide their formation and operation. Administratively, the adoption of these regulations will allow a seamless transition from ILS to regulation and assist CDSS in maintaining and updating regu - lations guiding THPP–NMD going forward. Lastly, formally adopting these regulations is consistent with HSC

section 1502.7 of the Administrative Procedure Act, Government Code

section 11349(

a) regarding a need for these regulations. These regulations meet the necessity standard as many of these regulations are mandated inclusions per various statutes. They are also needed to provide consistency across not only regulations that govern both THPP types but across similar regulations for all children’s residential pro - gram licenses overseen by CDSS where certain stan - dards or care, health, or safety maintain do not change.

These regulations also provide clarity regarding what is required of licensees, CDSS staff, stakeholders, and the youth themselves because over the years licens - ees, stakeholders, and CDSS staff have encountered sections of regulations that were confusing or lacked proper instruction or were simply poorly worded thus causing confusion. Lastly, these regulations meet the non–duplication standard and where language is nec - essary to duplicate from statute for clarity or reference purposes they are cited as such in the Factual Basis

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1268 statements within the Initial Statement of Reasons document. SB 612 In 2017, SB 612 made additional changes to THPPs by amending Sections 1502, 1506, and 1559.110 of HSC. Edits to HSC

section 1559.110 expanded the regulations regarding housing units allowing a certi - fied family home or resource family of a foster family agency to be concurrently certified as a host family; updating the content of a THPPs staffing, services, and program statement; updating

definitions of THPPs for both minor foster children and NMDs; and made other various changes. The bill also made edits to

Section 16522.1 of Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) regarding what a THPP must provide to both minor foster children and NMD participants. AB 592 In 2021, AB 592 amended Sections 1559.110 and 1506 of HSC and

Section 11402.2 of WIC to build upon SB 612 and simplify the process for a THPP serving NMDs to certify a host family in that a host family may now also include a resource family approved by a county, a licensed foster family home, an approved relative caregiver, or a nonrelative extended family member of a participant so long as the host family / certified family home / resource family is certified by the same private, nonprofit organization licensed to operate as a THPP. It also made foster family agen - cy amendments to HSC

section 1559.110, including expanding the definition of a supervised independent living setting. The bill also authorizes a THPP to provide transi - tional services to a Foster Family Agency family or Supervised Independent Living Placement by amend - ing WIC

section 11402.2. Within this regulation package other updates, both substantial and nonsubstantial, have been made to the THPP Generals and Subchapter One to update and clarify regulations. AB 175 The Community Care Facilities Act requires a licensee to ensure that each child is accorded the per - sonal rights specified in the WIC

section 16001.9, as applicable. Over the years, CDSS has developed sev - eral regulation packages to implement the provisions of legislation that have added rights to WIC

section 16001.9. In 2004, CDSS adopted regulations that im - plemented the provisions of AB 899 (Chapter 686, Statutes of 2001), and subsequently, in 2007, CDSS adopted regulations to implement AB 458 (Chapter 331, Statute of 2003) and SB 1639 (Chapter 668, Statute of 2004). Similarly, this regulations package will implement portions of AB 175 to ensure that Title 22 regulations are consistent with statute and contain the most current personal rights to which children and NMDs in foster care are entitled. In 2019, AB 175 expanded and revised the personal rights of all children and NMDs in foster care.

In order to have all the rights of children and NMDs in a single statute, AB 175 also added existing rights located in other areas of California law into WIC

section 16001.9. This means that WIC

section 16001.9 now contains rights that are enforced by other oversight agencies, such as the juvenile courts or placing agency, and not directly applicable to licensed children’s residential facilities. CDSS must therefore adopt regulations that clearly inform licensed children’s residential facilities of their responsibilities while ensuring that children and NMDs in these facilities are afforded the applica - ble personal rights in WIC

section 16001.9. The proposed regulations will revise the personal rights

section for each facility category and add the rights from WIC

section 16001.9 that licensees are re- quired to provide to children or NMDs in their care. The proposed regulations also clarify the required duties and responsibilities of licensed facilities and THPPs as they relate to affording a child their personal rights and not interfering with these rights, even when they are enforced by, or are the direct responsibility of, other oversight agencies. Stakeholder Feedback Per WIC

section 16522(c), CDSS has consulted with County Welfare Directors Association, the California Youth Connection, county probation departments, pro- vider representatives, and other stakeholders (such as current and former THPP participants) as appropriate in the development of these regulations. To this, CDSS has hosted workgroups with stakeholders in 2015 and 2022 to ensure these regulations’ applicability, practi- cality, understandability, and effectiveness in the field. In addition, CDSS has had and continues to have reg - ular communication with stakeholders regarding new statutes, existing regulations, and the ILS. (

d) The broad objective of these regulations is to clearly layout how THPPs serving minors and/or NMDs are to be licensed, overseen, and operated and provides clarified personal rights for the participants they serve. (

e) There are no comparable federal statutes or regulations. Public Law 110–351 — Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008 provides broad changes to social security law setting such as what programs will be funded to in - dividual states and how, and covers a wide variety of program such as adoption services and adoption tax credits, makes individuals with whom kinship guard - ianship assistance payments are being made categori - cally eligible for Medicaid, and other various changes; none of which relate directly to THPPs. What changes do impact foster care programs (outside of program

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1269 funding and reimbursement policies and procedures) are broad requiring state to develop regulations re - garding the licensing, administration, goals, services, and continued upkeep of these programs to state. The closest federal regulations would be those for runaway and homeless youth shelters, albeit these serve a different group of youth who are not in foster care placement; although the focus on residential safe- ty, individual skill building, and career and education- al guidance are entailed. (Title 45, Subtitle B,

Chapter XIII, Subchapter F,

Part 1351.) (

f) CDSS has determined that the proposed regu - lations are not inconsistent or incompatible with exist- ing regulations through careful internal review and re- view from outside stakeholders such as county foster care agencies; stakeholder, participant, and licensee advocacy groups; and others. (

g) These regulations are not identical to previous- ly adopted regulations and provide necessary adop - tions, amendments, and deletions to ensure enforce - ment of state and federal statute as well as to ensure the health and safety of both THPP participants and licensees and their staffs.

BENEFITS: The benefits of the regulatory action to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment are as follows: The regulations as proposed and amended will pro - vide clarity to providers offering services to in–need communities, improving their ability to protect the health and safety of children receiving their services, and assisting in the participant’s development of life skills. There is no benefit to the state’s environment or worker safety. ITEMS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE: There are no items, such as forms, to be incorporat- ed by reference. COST ESTIMATE 1.

Costs or Savings to State Agencies: None. 2. Costs to Local Agencies or School Districts Which Must Be Reimbursed in Accordance With Government Code Sections 17500–17630: None. 3. Nondiscretionary Costs or Savings to Local Agencies: None. 4. Federal Funding to State Agencies: None. LOCAL MANDATE STATEMENT These regulations do not impose a mandate on local agencies, or school districts, and there are no state– mandated local costs in these regulations that would require state reimbursement under

Section 17500 et. seq. of the Government Code. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON BUSINESS CDSS has made an initial determination that the proposed action will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business - es, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This package largely promulgates existing statute requiring regu - lations and ILS into regulations.

CDSS is in regular contact with impacted facilities and has made an ini - tial determination that the proposed action will not have a significant, statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting businesses, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. Licensees may choose to arrange for staff training regarding some of these updates as a whole; however, CDSS plans to release a Provider Information Notice and informational resources to assist with this and, therefore, does not necessitate any new costs.

STATEMENT OF POTENTIAL COST IMPACT ON PRIVATE PERSONS OR BUSINESSES CDSS has determined that there is no impact on businesses or private persons. CDSS acknowledges a Licensee may choose to provide staff training regard - ing these new regulations, general staff training has always been necessary and, therefore, does not neces- sitate any new costs.

Furthermore, after the proposed regulations are final, CDSS will publish a Provider Information Notice that provides a detailed overview of the changes made via this regulation package and is considering providing a statewide online training and overview session for the public along with a Q&A that will be also be published sometime after should these be sufficient interest. CDSS is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person would incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT STATEMENT CDSS initially determines that the proposed regula- tions may affect small businesses. STATEMENT OF RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The adoption of the proposed amendments will nei- ther create nor eliminate jobs in the State of California nor result in the elimination of existing businesses or create or expand businesses in the State of California. The benefits of the regulatory action to the health and

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1270 welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment are as follows: The regulations as proposed and amended will pro - vide clarity to providers offering services to in–need communities, improving their ability to protect the health and safety of children receiving their services, and assisting in the participant’s development of life skills. There is no benefit to the state’s environment or worker safety. STATEMENT OF EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS The proposed regulatory action will have no effect on housing costs.

STATEMENT OF ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED In developing the regulatory action, CDSS consid - ered the following alternatives with the following re - sults: No alternatives have been proposed.

CDSS must determine that no reasonable alterna - tive considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of CDSS would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the reg- ulations are proposed or would be as 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 im - plementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE CESA CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION REQUEST FOR REDWOOD SIPHON REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT 2080R–2024–013–02 SACRAMENTO COUNTY The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) received a notice on September 5, 2024 that US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) proposes to rely on a consultation between federal agencies to carry out a project that may adversely affect a species protect- ed by the California Endangered Species Act (CESA).

The proposed project involves the enhancement and restoration of water delivery to the privately–owned Rancho Llano Seco, the USFWS’s Steve Thompson North Central Valley Wildlife Management Area — Llano Seco Unit, and CDFW’s Upper Butte Basin Wildlife Area — Llano Seco Unit. Repairing and en - hancing the water conveyance infrastructure, includ - ing two large Redwood Siphons, will allow Rancho Llano Seco, USFWS, and CDFW to provide reliable water to approximately 4,500 acres of wetlands, 2,700 acres of irrigated agriculture, and 9.7 miles of water delivery canals.

Proposed activities will include, but are not limited to, removing canal sediment, removing vegetation that inhibits levee maintenance and canal flow, repairing and reconstructing canal levees, con - structing two wells, developing temporary construc - tion staging areas and construction materials borrow areas, and developing permanent habitat improve - ments to offset construction impacts.

The Project Area is located approximately 2 miles west of the unincor - porated town of Dayton in Butte County and occurs directly upstream of the Service’s Steve Thompson North Central Valley Wildlife Management Area — Llano Seco Unit (Service Wildlife Management Area), located on the privately owned Rancho Llano Seco. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) is - sued a federal biological opinion (BO) (Service Ref.

Number 2023–0129536–S7–001) in a memorandum to the Service, Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex on August 27, 2023, which considered the effects of the proposed project on state and federally threatened giant garter snake (Thamnophis gigas). Pursuant to California Fish and Game Code

section 2080.1, USFWS is requesting a determination that the Incidental Take Statement (ITS) and its associated BO are consistent with CESA for purposes of the proposed project. If CDFW determines the ITS and associated BO are consistent with CESA for the proposed project, USFWS will not be required to obtain an incidental take permit under Fish and Game Code

section 2081 subdivision (

b) for the proposed project. RULEMAKING PETITION DECISION DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES NOTICE OF DECISION ON PETITION TO ADOPT REGULATIONS TITLE 13, CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS Petitioner Mark Baker, President Soft Lights Foundation 9450 SW Gemini Drive PMB 44671 Beaverton, OR 97008 Contact Person Please direct inquiries regarding this action to Randi Calkins, Regulations Specialist, Department of Motor Vehicles, Legal Affairs Division, P.O. Box 932382, Sacramento, CA 94232–3820. Availability of Petition The Petition to adopt regulations is available upon request by contacting the department’s contact person.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2024, VOLUME NUMBER 38–Z 1272

Summary of Petition The petition requests that the department adopt reg- ulations which would place limits on lights on emer - gency vehicles. Department’s Decision After careful review, the department hereby de - nies your Petition on the ground that it does not ref - erence DMV’s authority to take the regulatory action requested. Pursuant to California Government Code

Section 11340.6(a), a petition for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of a regulation, such as in the Petition, must state all of the following clearly and concisely: (

a) The substance or nature of the regulation, amend- ment, or repeal requested. (

b) The reason for the request. (

c) The reference to the authority of the state agency to take the action requested. Specifically, the Petition fails to specify or identify any statute that would provide the authority of DMV to regulate functional or operational aspects of emer - gency vehicles and the safety features thereon, includ- ing lights. The authority of the department to act and to regu - late is specified in the California Vehicle Code

section 1651 which allows the DMV director to “…adopt and enforce rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this code relating to the department.” The statute does not provide authority to DMV to regulate the flashing lights of motor vehicles. California law that regulates lights are found in the California Vehicle Code. Specifically, laws regarding vehicle lighting can be found in

Chapter 2 of Division 12 of the Vehicle Code, starting at

Section 24000. The authority to implement regulations regarding these ve- hicle devices rests with the California Highway Patrol [Vehicle Code Sections 24000, 26103]. Regulations regarding lights are found in

Chapter 2 of Division 2 of Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations. The Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is authorized to adopt and enforce reasonable regulations as deemed necessary for the public health and safety regarding the operation, equipment, and certification of all drivers of ambulances used for emergency services. [Vehicle Code

Section 2512.] In fact, the CHP has issued regulations regarding Ambulances. See generally Title 13, California Code of Regulations, Division 2,

Chapter 5,

Article 1 (com- mencing at

Section 1100). In

summary, the CHP is authorized to issue reg - ulations concerning flashing lights on vehicles. For the reasons set forth above, the Petition is denied. However, DMV offers you an alternative approach to pursue the regulatory actions that you seek. The CHP is the appropriate entity in California to whom you should submit your petition.
