COST TO LOCAL AGENCIES There shall be no reimbursement for any new or in- creased costs to local government which may result from compliance with these codes because these are not new programs mandated on local agencies by the codes since the requirements described herein were mandated by the Political Reform Act of 1974. Therefore, they are not “costs mandated by the state” as defined in Govern- ment Code
Section 17514. EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS AND BUSINESSES Compliance with the codes has no potential effect on housing costs or on private persons, businesses or small businesses. AUTHORITY Government Code Sections 82011, 87303 and 87304 provide that the Fair Political Practices Commission as the code−reviewing body for the above conflict−of− interest codes shall approve codes as submitted, revise the proposed code and approve it as revised, or return the proposed code for revision and re−submission.

SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION AMENDMENT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 5, REGARDING 12−Month Eligibility and CalWORKs NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the State Super- intendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) proposes to adopt the regulations described below after considering all comments, objections, or recommendations regard- ing the proposed action. PUBLIC HEARING California Department of Education (CDE) staff, on behalf of the SSPI, will hold a public hearing at 8:30 a.m. on February 11, 2019, at 1430 N Street, Room 1103, Sacramento, California. The room is wheelchair accessible.
At the hearing, any person may present statements or arguments, orally or in writing, relevant to the proposed action described in the Informative Di- gest. The SSPI requests, but does not require, that per- sons who make oral comments at the public hearing also submit a written
summary of their statements. No oral statements will be accepted subsequent to this public hearing. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person, or his or her authorized repre- sentative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to: Patricia Alverson, Regulations Coordinator Administrative Support and Regulations Adoption Unit California Department of Education 1430 N Street, Room 5319 Sacramento, CA 95814 Comments may also be submitted by facsimile (FAX) at 916−319−0155 or by e−mail to regcomments@cde.ca.gov.
Comments must be received by the Regulations Co- ordinator prior to 5:00 p.m. on February 11, 2019. All written comments received by CDE staff during the public comment period are subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. A V AILABILITY OF CHANGED OR MODIFIED TEXT Following the public hearing and considering all timely and relevant comments received, the SSPI may adopt the proposed regulations substantially as de- scribed in this Notice or may modify the proposed regu- lations if the modifications are sufficiently related to the original text.
With the exception of technical or gram- matical changes, the full text of all modified regulations will be available for 15 days prior to its adoption from the Regulations Coordinator and will be mailed to those persons who submit written comments related to the regulations, or who provide oral testimony at the public hearing, or who have requested notification of any changes to the proposed regulations. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority: Sections 8261, 8261.5, 8262, 8263, 8263.1, 8265 and 8269, Education Code.
References: Sections 8202, 8203, 8206, 8208, 8235, 8237, 8261, 8261.5, 8263, 8263.1, 8269, 8273, 8273.1, 8350, 8350.5, 8351, 8353, 8354 and 8358.5, Education Code; Sections 16500.5 and 16506, Welfare and Insti- tutions Code; 45 Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 98.21; and Title 22 California Code of Regulations Sec- tions 101220.1 and 102418 INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Early Learning and Care programs in California are supported by both federal and state funding. Federal funding comes in the form of the Child Care and Devel- opment Block Grant (“CCDBG”). Federal require- ments, for use of this funding, are set forth at Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Section 98 et seq. At the state level, the Child Care and Development Services Act (the “Act”), starting at Education Code (EC)
Section 8200 et seq., requires families to meet specified requirements to be eligible for subsidized child development services. In 2014, CCDBG was reauthorized and, in 2016, final regulations were adopt- ed by the Federal Office of Child Care, a division of the U.S. Health and Human Services agency. The new fed-
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2269 eral regulations provided, among other things, that all families certified to receive child care services should receive those services for no less than 12 months, not- withstanding temporary or interim changes to their status. In 2017, in an attempt to conform with federal re- quirements, the California Legislature enacted Assem- bly Bill (AB) 99, which changed some of the current EC requirements, most notably, by adding EC subsections (
h) and (
i) to
Section 8263 and amending
Section 8263.1. Some of the changes included in AB 99 are: • An update to the definition of a homeless child or youth. • Addition of subdivision (
h) to
Section 8263 to provide that a family, upon establishing initial eligibility or ongoing eligibility for services under the Act, shall be considered to meet all eligibility and need requirements for those services for not less than 12 months, shall receive those services for not less than 12 months before having its eligibility or need recertified, and shall not be required to report changes to income or other changes for at least 12 months, except as provided. • Provides that when a family is initially certified for services, or recertified later for services, and the need for services is based on seeking employment, services shall be provided for no less than six months • Allows families to seek to make changes that might benefit them, such as requesting decreased family fees or increased services, without those changes impacting other aspects of their services • Revises the definition of “income eligible” for purposes of establishing initial income eligibility for services under the Act, and adds a definition of “ongoing income eligible” for purposes of establishing ongoing income eligibility for services under the Act and requires calculations to be adjusted for family size, as provided. • Requires the CDE to convene a workgroup of parents, advocates, CDE staff, child development program representatives, and other stakeholders to develop recommendations regarding implementing the 12−month eligibility provision. • Allows the CDE, in the interim, to implement the new changes via Management Bulletin or other informal guidance • Requires the CDE, pursuant to subsection (
j) of EC 8263, to initiate a rulemaking action to implement these provisions on or before December 31, 2018. In 2018, AB 2626 was enacted into law, which amended EC
Section 8263.1 so that the initial income eligibility level for families to receive child care ser- vices, which was previously set at 70 percent of the State Median Income, would be raised to 85 percent, the same as it was for families seeking ongoing services at recertification. These amendments require changes to sections of the following current regulations: •
Chapter 19 Child Development Programs, Subchapter 3. General Child Care,
Article 1. General Provisions •
Chapter 19 Child Development Programs, Subchapter 3. General Child Care,
Article 2. Family Data Files •
Chapter 19 Child Development Programs, Subchapter 3. General Child Care,
Article 3. Enrollment •
Chapter 19.5 CalWORKs and Child Care and Development Programs, Subchapter 2. CalWORKs Stage 2 Child Care Programs,
Article 2. Requirements and Procedures for Receiving CalWORKs Stage 2 Services •
Chapter 19.5 CalWORKs and Child Care and Development Programs, Subchapter 3. CalWORKs Stage 3 Child Care Programs,
Article 2. Requirements and Procedures for Receiving CalWORKs Stage 3 Services Prior to these changes, on June 24, 2015, the Gover- nor signed AB 104, the Education Omnibus Trailer Bill, which required the CDE to convene stakeholder groups, by September 2015, to provide recommenda- tions to streamline data and other reporting require- ments for early learning and care providers that contract with the CDE with the purpose of identifying redundan- cies and efficiencies in program implementation and re- ducing the workload in program administration.
Final- ized recommendations were submitted to the Legisla- ture, the Department of Finance, and the State Board of Education on April 1, 2016.
These recommendations included: 1) for the best interest of the child, increase the duration and continuity of early learning and care services for the child; 2) reduce barriers to accessing early learning and care services by reducing the number of changes the parent is required to report for the contin- uation of services thereby increasing the family’s dura- tion and continuity in early learning and care services; 3) align, clarify, and revise regulatory and monitoring requirements across funding streams to allow greater flexibility and decrease administrative burdens that support child and family well−being; and 4) implement regulations and policies to deliver equitable outcomes for all children, including children with exceptional needs.
The CDE also solicited informal on−going input on− line, at conferences and other stakeholders meetings, to provide statewide recommendations for CDE’s consid-
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2270 eration and response. Many of the recommendations from the stakeholders, input received at various fall CDE Field Conferences, and staff have been considered in the development of these proposed regulations. In
summary, the objectives of these proposed regula- tions include: 1) meeting the requirements of EC Sec- tion 8263(j), as amended by AB 99, by instituting rule- making provisions to implement 12−month eligibility as established in EC
Section 8263(h); 2) incorporating some of the recommendations of the AB 104 work group and other input sessions to ensure contractors are provided with clear direction and ensure implementa- tion of the regulations are consistent throughout the State; and 3) ensuring that the regulations align with federal and state laws and regulations, including changes prompted by amendments to the CCDBG Act and the enactment of AB 2626.
Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The benefit of enacting the proposed regulations is to align the Title 5 regulations with the CCDBG Act and the amendments to the EC adopted as a result of AB 99 and AB 2626 and to incorporate several key recommen- dations made by the AB 104 stakeholder groups. When regulations do not align with the federal and state law because current regulations were adopted under a dif- ferent set of laws, the contracting agencies charged with implementing these programs have a difficult time re- sponding to families and determining whether or not they are eligible for services.
When regulations are out− of−date and do not meet the current needs of stakehold- ers, including families and children receiving the ser- vices, they make the provision of quality services in an effective and efficient manner close to impossible. The early learning community will benefit by having up−to− date regulations that align with current law and meet the needs of those that participate in the process.
Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations The CDE reviewed all state regulations relating to Child Care and Development Programs and found that none exist that are inconsistent or incompatible with these proposed regulations. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION/FISCAL IMPACT The SSPI has made the following initial determinations: There are no other matters as are prescribed by statute applicable to the specific state agency or to any specific regulations or class of regulations. The proposed regulations do not require a report to be made.
Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Costs to any local agencies or school districts for which reimbursement would be required pursuant to
Part 7 (commencing with
section 17500) of division 4 of the Government Code: None. Other non−discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies, including local educational agencies: None. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: None Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting business including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None.
Cost impacts on a representative private person or businesses: The SSPI is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Effect on housing costs: None. Effect on small businesses: The proposed regulations would not have an effect on any small business because they are only relevant to the contractors of subsidized programs contracted through the Department of Education.
RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The SSPI concludes that it is unlikely that these pro- posed regulations will: 1) create or eliminate jobs with- in California; 2) create new businesses or eliminate ex- isting businesses within California; or 3) affect the ex- pansion of businesses currently doing business within California. Benefits of the Proposed Action: The proposed regu- lations will benefit children and families in California as they take advantage of high quality early learning and care programs guided by these proposed regulations.
With the right to continuity of care ensured by 12−month eligibility, families can work, participate in training or educational programs, seek permanent hous- ing, seek employment as they work towards being gain- fully employed in the workforce.
CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES The SSPI must determine that no reasonable alterna- tive it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the SSPI, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the ac- tion is proposed, would be as effective and less burden- some to affected private persons than the proposed ac- tion, or would be more cost−effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2271 The SSPI invites interested persons to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations at the scheduled hearing or during the written comment period.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The Department has authority to grant federal and state funds to entities that serve individuals with dis- abilities in accordance with Welfare and Institutions Code 19000 et seq. and the Rehabilitation Act, as amended (29 USC 701 et seq.). The Department awards grant funds through a competitive solicitation process based on its evaluation of applications. The Department seeks to promulgate regulations to govern the competitive grant solicitation process.
The Department’s goals are to ensure that the solicitation process is responsive to the needs of the public, grant re- cipients, and those who receive services under the fund- ed grant, and to ensure that the grant award process is fair and transparent to all stakeholders, including the public and interested parties. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None. EV ALUATION OF INCONSISTENCY/INCOMPATABILITY OF EXISTING REGULATIONS The Department considered other possible related regulations to this proposed action and determined that these regulations are the only ones that relate to the sub- ject matter.
Therefore, the proposed regulations are nei- ther inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state or federal regulations. ANTICIPATED BENEFITS The benefits of repealing California Code of Regula- tions, title 9,
section 7334 and amending sections 7334.1, 7334.2, 7334.3, 7334.4, 7334.5, 7334.6, 7334.7, 7334.8, and 7335 include making the Depart- ment’s grant solicitation process more consistent across its grant programs and providing a centralized resource for applicants seeking information about the Depart- ment’s grant solicitation process. Currently, each of the Department’s grant programs engages in its own process for evaluating applications and awarding grant funds.
To solicit applications, pro- grams issue requests for applications (RFAs) with in- structions for applicants and descriptions of the evalua- tion process. RFAs can vary based on the Program and source of funding. These regulations provide for con- sistency across the Department’s programs. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION — FISCAL IMPACT The DOR has made the following initial determinations: There are no other matters prescribed by statute ap- plicable to the specific state agency or to any specific regulations. Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None.
Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Costs to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2273 SIGNIFICANT, STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting businesses including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None. COST IMPACT ASSESSMENT Cost impacts on a representative private person or businesses: The Department is not aware of any cost im- pacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.
The proposed changes do not im- pose any costs on private businesses that would not be imposed under the Department’s current regulations and current grant solicitation process. RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT Creation or Elimination of Jobs within the State of California. The proposed regulations are designed to clarify and make specific the Department’s existing grant solicita- tion process. Therefore, no jobs in California will be created or eliminated.
Creation of New or Elimination of Existing Businesses within the State of California The proposed regulations are designed to clarify and make specific the Department’s existing grant solicita- tion process. Therefore, no businesses in California will be created or eliminated. Expansion of Businesses Currently Doing Business within the State of California. The proposed regulations are designed to clarify and make specific the Department’s existing grant solicita- tion process. Therefore, no businesses in California will be expanded or eliminated.
Benefits of the Regulations The proposed regulations will not adversely affect the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, or the State’s environment. However, the pro- posed regulations will promote equity and transparency between the Department and grant applicants by clari- fying the Department’s existing competitive grant so- licitation process. BUSINESS REPORTS Business Reporting Requirement: None. HOUSING COSTS Significant effect on housing costs: None.
DETERMINATION OF EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The Department has determined that these proposed regulations will not affect small businesses because they do not impose new obligations on any grant appli- cants; they merely clarify existing terms. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code
section 11346.5(a)(13), the Department must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered or that has other- wise 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, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private per- sons than the proposed action, or would be more cost− effective to affected private persons and equally effec- tive in implementing the statutory policy or other provi- sion of the law.
The Department invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations during the written comment period.

TITLE 9.
DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND THE CONFLICT−OF−INTEREST CODE OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF REHABILITATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), pursuant to the authority vest- ed in it by
section 87306 of the Government Code, and in conjunction with the Fair Political Practices Com- mission, proposes amendment to its Conflict−of− Interest Code. The purpose of these amendments is to implement the requirements of sections 87300 through 87302, and
section 87306 of the Government Code. The DOR proposes to amend its Conflict−of−Interest Code to update information regarding employee posi- tions that involve the making, or participation in the making, of decisions that may foreseeably have a mate- rial effect on any financial interest, as set forth in subdi- vision (
a) of
section 87302 of the Government Code and in compliance with the Fair Political Practices Commis- sion. The DOR is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would neces- sarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. This amendment changes executive titles, some pro- fessional titles, and adds positions that deal with con- tracts and financial responsibilities, consistent with the current organizational structure of the Department.
There are also some positions that have been deleted as they have been eliminated from the Department’s orga- nizational structure for now. Changes made in the pro- fessional title names were to make the Appendix more consistent and easier to read. Copies of the proposed amendments, the written ex- planation of the reasons, and the information on which the amendments are based may be obtained by contact- ing the Regulations Analyst set forth below. At this time, no public hearing has been scheduled concerning the proposed amendments.
If any interested person or the person’s representative requests a public hearing, he or she must do so no later than January 28, 2019, by con- tacting the Regulations Analyst set forth below.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2275 Any interested person may submit written state- ments, arguments, or comments relating to the pro- posed amendments by submitting them in writing no later than February 11, 2019, or at the conclusion of the public hearing, if requested, whichever comes later, to the Regulations Analyst set forth below. The DOR has determined that the proposed amendments: 1. Impose no mandate on local agencies or school districts. 2. Impose no costs or savings on any state agency. 3. Impose no costs on any local agency or school district that are required to be reimbursed under
Part 7 (commencing with
Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 4. Will not result in any nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies. 5. Will not result in any costs or savings in federal funding to the state. 6. Will not have any potential cost impact on private persons, businesses, or small businesses. In making these proposed amendments, the DOR did determine that no alternative considered by the agency would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the amendments are proposed or would be as ef- fective and less burdensome to any affected persons than the proposed amendments.

CALIFORNIA HEALTH BENEFIT EXCHANGE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 10,
CHAPTER 12,
ARTICLE 11 ADOPT SECTIONS 6850, 6852, 6854, 6856, 6858, 6860, 6862, 6864, 6866, and 6868 The Board of Directors for the California Health Ben- efit Exchange (hereinafter referred to as the “Ex- change”) proposes to adopt the regulation described be- low after considering all comments, objections, and recommendations regarding the proposed action. PUBLIC HEARING The Exchange has not scheduled a public hearing on this proposed action.
However, the Exchange will hold a hearing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or his or her autho- rized representative, no later than 15 days before the close of the written comment period. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person, or his or her authorized repre- sentative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to the Exchange. The writ- ten comment period closes at 02/11/2019. The Ex- change will consider only comments received at the Ex- change’s office by that time.
Submit written comments to: ANNALISA FRANCO California Health Benefit Exchange (Covered California) 1601 Exposition Blvd. Sacramento, CA 95815 Comments may also be submitted by facsimile (FAX) at 916−228−8321 or by e−mail to regulations@ covered.ca.gov. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Government Code
Section 100504(a)(6) authorizes the Board of Directors for the Exchange to adopt rules and regulations, as necessary. The proposed regulations implement, interpret, and make specific Government Code Sections 100502 and 100503; and Title 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 155.205, 156.225, and 156.260. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Documents to be incorporated by reference: None.
Summary of Existing Laws In March 2010, President Obama signed federal health reform legislation called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). It created the opportu- nity for each state to establish a state−based health in- surance exchange to implement the ACA. California chose to operate an exchange that is commonly known as known as “Covered California.” For purposes of this Notice, Covered California will be referred to as the “Exchange.” The Exchange’s mission is to increase the number of insured Californians, improve health care
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2276 quality, lower costs, and reduce health disparities through an innovative, competitive marketplace that empowers consumers to choose their health plan. State law also specifies the powers and duties of the executive board of the Exchange. Government Code
Section 100504(a)(6) authorizes the Exchange’s Board of Directors to adopt rules and regulations, as neces- sary. The Exchange proposes this permanent rulemak- ing in furtherance of its rulemaking authority to imple- ment, interpret and make specific state and federal laws. Currently, there are emergency regulations that es- tablish and regulate the Certified Application Coun- selor Program. Those regulations include
definitions, application procedures, eligibility requirements, roles and responsibilities, standards for suspension, and ap- peal procedures.
Summary of the Effect of the Proposed Regulation The broad purpose of this proposed regulatory action is to: (1) complete Certificate of Compliance require- ments for Sections 6850, 6852, 6854, 6856, 6858, 6860, 6862, 6864, 6866, and 6868; and (2) make minor edits that ensure clarity and address stakeholder requests. The proposed regulations will make permanent the reg- ulations in
Article 11 governing Certified Application Entities and Counselors. The proposed permanent regu- lations include
definitions, application procedures, eli- gibility requirements, roles and responsibilities, stan- dards for suspension, and appeal procedures. If ap- proved, these regulations will assist the Exchange with the implementation of the Certified Application Coun- selor program on an indefinite basis. Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations After an evaluation of current regulations, the Ex- change determined that these proposed regulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with any existing regu- lations.
In Articles 8, 9, and 12, there are a number of regulations pertaining to the roles and responsibilities of Certified Enrollers, such as Certified Enrollment Counselors, Medi−Cal Managed Care Plan Enrollers, and Plan−Based Enrollers. The proposed regulations do not conflict with any other regulations governing other Certified Enrollers.
Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The anticipated benefits of this proposed regulation include: • Complete the Certificate of Compliance requirement for emergency regulations; • Provide clear standards for participants in the Certified Application Counselor program to perform their duties and ensure that consumers receive assistance to address their health and financial needs • Make minor clarifying edits to remove some ambiguity and accommodate stakeholder requests; and • Ensure compliance with federal auditing requirements.
DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Exchange has made the following initial determinations: Matters Prescribed by Statute Applicable to the Agency or to Any Specific Regulation or Class of Regulations None. Mandate on Local Agencies and School Districts None. The Exchange has determined that this pro- posed regulatory action does not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts. Cost T o Any Local Agency or School District Which Must Be Reimbursed In Accordance With Government Code Sections 17500 Through 17630 None.
This proposal does not impose costs on any lo- cal agency or school district for which reimbursement would be required pursuant to
Part 7 (commencing with
Section 17500) of Division 4 of the Government Code. Costs or Savings to State Agencies The proposal results in additional costs to the Ex- change but will have no impact on other agencies or the State General Fund. The Exchange is currently com- pletely funded by assessments on premiums charged by Qualified Health Plans. Costs or Savings in Federal Funding to the State The proposal will not result in costs or savings in fed- eral funding to the state. Other Nondiscretionary or Savings Imposed on Local Agencies None. This proposal does not impose other nondis- cretionary costs or savings on local agencies.
Significant Effect on Housing Costs None. Effect on Small Business This proposed regulation is not expected to create or expand small business within the State of California. The current CAE/CAC program has been operating since 2012. Considering that many regulations in this package currently exist as emergency regulations, there are no anticipated effects on small businesses.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2277 Significant, Statewide Adverse Economic Impact Directly Affecting Business, Including the Ability of California Businesses to Compete With Businesses in Other States None. Cost Impacts on a Representative Private Person or Business The Exchange is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would neces- sarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.
Results of the Economic Impact Assessment/Analysis The Exchange concludes regarding the proposed reg- ulations that it is: (1) unlikely that the proposal will create or eliminate any jobs in the State; (2) unlikely that the proposal will create or eliminate businesses within the State; (3) unlikely that the proposal will impact the expansion of businesses currently doing business in California; and (4) likely that the health and welfare of consumers will benefit from the proposed regulation. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code
Section 11346.5(a)(13), the Exchange must determine that no reasonable alternative considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Ex- change would be more effective in carrying out the pur- pose for which this action is proposed, would be as ef- fective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost− effective to affected private persons and equally effec- tive in effectuating the purpose of the statute and appli- cable federal regulations.
This proposed action is the most effective in effectuating the purpose of the statute and applicable federal regulations.

Chapter 4. DOJ also proposes to amend sec- tions 411, 415, 416 and 420, and related forms incorpo- rated by reference, of the California Code of Regula- tions, Title 11, Division 1,
Chapter 4.6. DOJ is autho- rized to adopt these regulations pursuant to Govern- ment Code
section 12586, subdivision (b), and to im- plement, interpret, and make specific the provisions of
section 12580, et seq., of the Government Code (the Su- pervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act), and pursuant to Penal Code
section 320.5. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW
Summary of Existing Laws and Regulations: The Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act, Government Code
section 12580, et seq. (“the Act”), provides enforcement and supervisory powers over all charitable corporations, unincorporated associations, trustees and other legal entities holding property for charitable purposes, com- mercial fundraisers for charitable purposes, fundraising counsel for charitable purposes, and commercial coventurers. The Act establishes the Registry of Chari- table Trusts, which is administered by DOJ. (Gov. Code, § 12587.1.) Organizations subject to the Act are required to file periodic reports with the Attorney Gen- eral. (Gov.
Code, §§ 12585, subd. (a) & 12586, subd. (a) [requiring registration and filing of periodic re- ports]; § 12599, subds. (b) & (c) [requiring commercial fundraisers to register and report]; § 12599.1(c) & (d) [requiring fundraising counsel to register and report]; 12599.2 [requiring specified coventurers to register and report].) The Attorney General is authorized to make rules and regulations regarding the time for filing re- ports, the content of such reports, and the manner of ex- ecuting and filing them. (Gov. Code. § 12586, subd. (b).) Sections 300, 301, 303, 305, 306, 308, and 311 of Title 11, Division 1,
Chapter 4, and the reporting forms incorporated by reference, implement, interpret, and
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2279 make specific the requirements of the above sections of the Government Code. Penal Code
section 320.5 requires annual registration and reporting to conduct lawful raffles, and requires DOJ to furnish registration and reporting forms to col- lect information required of registered organizations. (Penal Code §320.5, subd. (h)(1), (6) & (7).) DOJ is au- thorized to adopt regulations necessary to effectuate the Nonprofit raffle program. (Penal Code §320.5, subd. (h)(4).) Effect of the Proposed Rulemaking: The proposed amendments to sections 300, 301, 303, 305, 306, and 308, the addition of sections 300.1, 300.2, and 309, and the repeal of 307 of Title 11, Division 1,
Chapter 4, and amendments to sections 411, 415, 416 and 420 of
Chapter 4.6, clarify and make technical changes to the text of the regulations and their related forms and instructions used for registration and period- ic reporting. Additionally, the proposed amendments to
section 300, and the related Form CT−1 initial registration form and instructions incorporated by reference, seek addi- tional information from charitable organizations in- cluding: • All names the organization uses or has used (e.g., doing business as); • All states in which the organization does business and/or solicits donations; • All non−profit organizations with which the organization shares revenue or governance; • The circumstances concerning any denial, revocation, or modification of the organization’s IRS or FTB tax−exempt status; • The circumstances concerning any suspension or revocation of the organization’s corporate status by the Secretary of State; • All officers, directors, trustees, or employees related by blood, marriage or adoption; • The circumstances concerning any court or administrative proceedings in any state regarding solicitation or registration by the organization or any of its officers, directors, or trustees; and • All officers, directors, or trustees convicted of any crime involving the misuse or misappropriation of funds or any crime involving deception in the operation of a charity.
Because Form CT−1 and instructions are now incor- porated by reference, the amendments delete the super- fluous numbered items (1) through (20) under 300(
b) that specify the information required by Form CT−1. Proposed
section 300.1 defines the term “educational institution” for purposes of such organizations that are exempt from the registration and reporting require- ments of the Act. Proposed
section 300.2 defines the required elements for purposes of government−related organizations that are exempt from the registration and reporting require- ments of the Act. The proposed amendments to
section 301, and relat- ed forms and instructions, provide that those organiza- tions required to register and file annual reports with the DOJ Registry of Charitable Trusts (“Registry”), whose revenue exempts them from filing IRS Form 990, 990−PF or 990−EZ, must file an annual treasurer’s re- port with the Registry (Form CT−TR−1). The proposed treasurer’s report makes
section 307 irrelevant, and that
section is therefore proposed for deletion. The treasur- er’s report enhances transparency and provides basic information that the public can use to make donation de- cisions, and additionally provides DOJ with basic infor- mation to assess any problems with the organization or the need for further investigation by DOJ. The amendments to the regulations and forms also include: • Addition of a question to the Form RRF−1 regarding charitable organizations holding restricted net assets while reporting negative unrestricted net assets, required pursuant to Government Code
section 12599.8; • Addition of requests for information on Form RRF−1 regarding total and program expenses, as well as noncash contributions; • Minor changes to the fee schedule, in favor of charitable organizations, as a result of not requiring rounding up revenue figures that would then require a higher fee; • Attachment of privacy notices to applicable forms; • Addition of provisions that forms that are statutorily required to be “signed under oath” be filed under penalty of perjury; • Clarification of which completed annual Internal Revenue Service forms must be filed with the Registry; • Requirement of an email address on forms as an additional method of contact; • Clarification that commercial fundraisers must report national revenue, not just California revenue; • Addition of a question to the commercial fundraiser report form regarding written contracts to ensure that commercial fundraisers are in compliance with the applicable statute; and • Miscellaneous technical and non−substantive amendments.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2280 Proposed
section 309 clarifies that the Attorney Gen- eral may require all filings under the Act to be made electronically and with the use of electronic transfers. The proposed amendments to
section 420 and raffle Form CT−NRP−2 include: • Request whether direct costs of raffle exceed 10% of gross receipts received from ticket sales and if organization used funds from sources other than ticket sales to offset costs; and • Confirmation that raffle funds were not used for any purpose outside of California. Clarifying the forms and instructions that charitable entities and fundraising professionals file with the Reg- istry benefits registrants, DOJ, and the public. Regis- trants will understand what information must be provid- ed without assistance from the Registry.
Forms that are complete when filed and contain accurate information help DOJ fulfill its oversight responsibilities. Registry staff saves time and resources by not having to answer unnecessary questions, allowing forms to be processed more efficiently. The public benefits from receiving in- formation quickly by which they may assess the perfor- mance of charities who file forms and reports with the Registry. Comparable Federal Regulations: There are no existing federal regulations or statutes comparable to the proposed regulations.
Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations: DOJ has evaluated the proposal and finds that it is not inconsistent or incompatible with existing state regulations.

Other statutory requirements: None. Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Cost or savings to any State agency: No cost, and will allow DOJ to make early assessments in the initial stage of investigation and to process reporting more efficiently. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.
Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting business including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None. Cost impacts on a representative private person or business: None. Every charitable entity is required by law to maintain books and records sufficient to account for its assets, including revenue and disbursements. DOJ is not aware of any cost impacts.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2281 Significant effect on housing costs: None. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS The proposed regulations will not create or eliminate jobs in California or create, eliminate or affect the ex- pansion of California businesses. The proposed regula- tions will not adversely impact the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, or the State’s envi- ronment.
The proposed regulations will assist DOJ in assuring charitable assets donated by California resi- dents are used for the intended purpose and for the bene- fit of California beneficiaries of charity. COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PERSON OR BUSINESS DOJ is not aware of any cost impacts that a represen- tative private person or business would necessarily in- cur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. In some circumstances, the amendments may save charitable organizations $25 to $75 in fees by not re- quiring them to round up their annual revenue.
BUSINESS REPORT The DOJ has determined that it is necessary for the health, safety, or welfare of the people of the state that the regulations apply to businesses. Existing law al- ready requires commercial fundraisers for charitable purposes, fundraising counsel for charitable purposes, and commercial coventurers to register and report to the Registry of Charitable Trusts. The proposed amend- ments do not change these requirements and, instead, clarify the information provided by registrants to the Registry.
These amendments will benefit the public who will receive more accurate information, registrants who will understand what information is required with- out needing to contact Registry staff, and DOJ who will receive more accurate information and save resources by not having to answer individual registrant questions. SMALL BUSINESS DETERMINATION Pursuant to Government Code
section 11342.610, subdivision (b)(6), a “small business” does not include an entity organized as a nonprofit corporation. There- fore, the proposed amendment to
Section 301 adding the treasurer’s report does not affect small businesses. Furthermore, the additional proposed amendments to the regulations only clarify reporting requirements or make other non−significant changes to regulations and reports that impose no adverse economic impacts on charitable entities or fundraising professionals. There is no adverse economic impact on small businesses.
CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES DOJ must determine that no reasonable alternative it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in car- rying 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 provision of law.

The proposed project involves the re- moval of an old fish ladder that is no longer serviceable and the periodic placement of gravel to increase the amount of available spawning and rearing habitat downstream of the dam. The proposed project will be carried out on the Carmel River, located immediately downstream of the Los Padres Dam plunge pool at river mile 24.8, Monterey County, California.
On September 13, 2018, the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) received a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with the terms of, and obtain coverage under, the General 401 Water Quality Certification Order for Small Habitat Restoration Projects (General 401 Order) for the Los Padres Dam Gravel Augmentation Project.
The Re- gional Water Board determined that the Project, as de- scribed in the NOI, was categorically exempt from Cali- fornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review (section 15333 — Small Habitat Restoration Projects) and met the eligibility requirements for coverage under the General 401 Order. The Regional Water Board is- sued a Notice of Applicability (WDID No. 32718WQ18) for coverage under the General 401 Or- der on September 28, 2018. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District is requesting a determination that the project and asso- ciated documents are complete pursuant to Fish and Game Code
section 1653 subdivision (d). If CDFW de- termines the project is complete, the District will not be required to obtain an incidental take permit under Fish and Game Code
section 2081 subdivision (

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION STATE OF CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW 2018 OAL DETERMINATION NO. 7 (OAL MATTER NO. CTU2018−0601−01) REQUESTED BY : Andrea Cardosa CONCERNING: Memorandum dated January 2, 2018; Milestone Completion Credits and Education Credits, issued by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation DETERMINATION ISSUED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTION 11340.5. SCOPE OF REVIEW A determination by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) evaluates whether or not an action or enactment by a state agency complies with California administra- tive law governing how state agencies adopt regula-
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2284 tions. Nothing in this analysis evaluates the advisability or the wisdom of the underlying action or enactment. Our review is limited to the sole issue of whether the challenged rule meets the definition of “regulation” as defined in Government Code
section 11342.600 and is subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). If a rule meets the definition of “regulation,” but was not adopted pursuant to the APA and should have been, it is an “underground regulation” as defined in California Code of Regulations, title 1,
section 250. 1 OAL has nei- ther the legal authority nor the technical expertise to evaluate the underlying policy issues involved in the subject of this determination.
CHALLENGED RULE The challenged rule was issued by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (Department) and is contained in a memorandum dated January 2, 2018, with the subject “Milestone Completion Credits and Education Merit Credits.” The January 2, 2018, “Mile- stone Completion Credits and Education Merit Credits” memorandum details policies and procedures for the awarding of Milestone Completion and Education Credits to inmates who participate in approved rehabili- tative programs.
It is attached as Exhibit A, and here- after referred to as the “Memorandum.” DETERMINATION OAL determines that the Memorandum meets the definition of “regulation” that should have been adopt- ed pursuant to the APA, but was not. The Memorandum is, therefore, an underground regulation. FACTUAL BACKGROUND On June 1, 2018, Andrea Cardosa (Petitioner) sub- mitted a petition to OAL challenging the Memorandum as an underground regulation. The Memorandum was issued by Shannon M. Swain, Superintendent, Office of Correctional Education for the Department.
It was is- sued on January 2, 2018, directed to “Principals,” and copied to many others in the Department. OAL accepted the petition for consideration on July 31, 2018. The petition was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on August 17, 2018. Com- ments from the public were solicited until September 17, 2018. OAL received three comments from the pub- lic, all supportive of Ms. Cardosa’s petition. A response to the petition from the Department was due no later than October 1, 2018. No response was received from the Department.
The Memorandum is directed to facility Principals and the staff of the Department and contains instruc- tions on how “inmates may be eligible to receive credit for satisfactory attendance and participation in ap- proved rehabilitative programs.” It is a seven page memo that is to be used by education supervisors to evaluate whether an inmate may be awarded Milestone Completion Credit.
OAL’s review and analysis is limit- ed to the criteria specifically challenged by Petitioner under the subject “College” on page four of the Memo- randum, which lists the following: For MCC [Milestone Completion Credit], the college must be accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDOE) at the time of course completion.
EMC [Education Merit Credit] may only be issued for regionally accredited colleges and universities. • One MCC may be awarded per qualifying course • Inmate−students must have a verified HSD/HSE [High School Diploma/High School Equivalency] to enroll in college courses for MCC • Each qualifying course must be transferable to an AA/AS or BA/BS degree and provide a minimum of three (3) semester units or four (4)/five (5) quarter units • Units earned above or below these amounts may not be “banked” or combined with other units • Career (e.g., Paralegal) and certificate programs (e.g.
Servsafe) do not qualify for College MCC • College courses approved for MCC must lead to a degree • OCE CTE [Office of Correctional Education Career Technical Education] courses which are articulated with a college are not eligible for college MCC • College courses that replicate OCE curriculum are not eligible for college MCC, in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the Community College Chancellors Office and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and amendment of Education Code
Section 84810.5, which states: The courses for inmates (provided by community college) in a state correctional facility developed as a result of this 1 As defined by title 1,
section 250(a), an “Underground regulation” means any guideline, criterion, bul- letin, manual, instruction, order, standard of general applica- tion, or other rule, including a rule governing a state agency procedure, that is a regulation as defined in
section 11342.600 of the Government Code, but has not been adopted as a regula- tion and filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to the APA and is not subject to an express statutory exemption from adop- tion pursuant to the APA.
CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2285 agreement will serve to supplement, but not duplicate or supplant, any adult education course opportunities at that facility by the Office of Correctional Education of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. UNDERGROUND REGULATIONS Government Code
section 11340.5, subdivision (a), provides that: No state agency shall issue, utilize, enforce, or attempt to enforce any guideline, criterion, bulletin, manual, instruction, order, standard of general application, or other rule, which is a regulation as defined in [Government Code]
Section 11342.600, unless the guideline, criterion, bulletin, manual, instruction, order, standard of general application, or other rule has been adopted as a regulation and filed with the Secretary of State pursuant to [the APA]. When an agency issues, utilizes, enforces, or attempts to enforce a rule in violation of Government Code sec- tion 11340.5 it creates an underground regulation as de- fined in title 1, California Code of Regulations,
section 250. OAL may issue a determination as to whether or not an agency has issued, utilized, enforced, or attempted to enforce a rule that meets the definition of “regulation” as defined in Government Code
section 11342.600 and should have been adopted pursuant to the APA (Gov. Code sec.11340(b)). An OAL determination is not en- forceable against the agency through any formal admin- istrative means, but it is entitled to “due deference” in any subsequent litigation of the issue pursuant to Grier v. Kizer (1990) 219 Cal.App.3d 422 [268 Cal.Rptr. 244]. ANALYSIS OAL’s authority to issue a determination extends on- ly to the limited question of whether the challenged rule is a “regulation” subject to the APA. This analysis will determine (1) whether the challenged rule is a “regula- tion” within the meaning of Government Code
section 11342.600, and (2) whether the challenged rule falls within any recognized exemption from APA requirements. A regulation is defined in Government Code
section 11342.600 as: . . . every rule, regulation, order, or standard of general application or the amendment, supplement, or revision of any rule, regulation, order, or standard adopted by any state agency to implement, interpret, or make specific the law enforced or administered by it, or to govern its procedure. In Tidewater Marine Western, Inc. v. Victoria Brad- shaw (1996) 14 Cal.4th 557, 571 [59 Cal.Rptr.2d 186], the California Supreme Court found that: A regulation subject to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (Gov. Code, §11340 et seq.) has two principal identifying characteristics.
First, the agency must intend its rule to apply generally, rather than in a specific case. The rule need not, however, apply universally; a rule applies generally so long as it declares how a certain class of cases will be decided. Second, the rule must implement, interpret, or make specific the law enforced or administered by the agency, or govern the agency’s procedure (Gov. Code, §11342, subd. (g)). 2 As stated in Tidewater, the first element used to iden- tify a “regulation” is whether the rule applies generally. As Tidewater points out, a rule need not apply to all per- sons in the state of California.
It is sufficient if the rule applies to a clearly defined class of persons or situations. 3 The Memorandum indicates that it is directed to “Principals” and “Department staff” throughout the state and applies to all inmates who seek to obtain Mile- stone Completion Credit. As such, the rule applies gen- erally to all inmates. The second element used to identify a “regulation” as stated in Tidewater is that the rule must implement, in- terpret or make specific the law enforced or adminis- tered by the agency, or govern the agency’s procedure. Penal Code
section 5054 specifically provides that the care and custody of inmates, as well as the manage- ment and control of state prisons, is vested in the Secre- tary of the Department. It states: Commencing July 1, 2005, the supervision, management and control of the state prisons, and the responsibility for the care, custody, treatment, training, discipline and employment of persons confined therein are vested in the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Penal Code
section 2933.05(
b) provides that inmates “shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in program credit qualifying assignments in a manner con- sistent with institutional security and available resources.” The Secretary, through the Department’s Superinten- dent, Office of Correctional Education, is implement- ing, interpreting and making specific the duties delegat- 2

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2018, VOLUME NO. 52-Z 2286 ed to the Secretary pursuant to sections 2933.05(
b) and 5054 of the Penal Code when deciding how and when inmates will receive Milestone Completion Credit in the Memorandum.
The Memorandum specifically states that its purpose is to provide Principals and “Department staff with in- formation regarding the new Milestone Completion Credits (MCC) and Education Merit Credits (EMC).” It further states: “Proposition 57 regulations stipulate that inmates may be eligible to receive credit for satisfactory attendance and participation in approved rehabilitative programs.” The Proposition 57 regulations the Memo- randum is referring to are, among others, sections 3043 and 3043.3 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). The Memorandum indicates that
section 3043 of title 15, of the CCR “identifies the criteria necessary for a program to qualify for MCC” and then sets forth further requirements implementing sections 3043 and 3043.3, which specifically addresses Milestone Com- pletion Credit. Two examples of where the Memorandum goes be- yond what is in Title 15,
section 3043.3, of the CCR are as follows: First, the Memorandum states that “[u]nits earned above or below [a minimum of three (3) semester units or four (4)/five (5) quarter units] may not be ‘banked’ or combined with other units.” However, Title 15 of the CCR, subdivision 3043.3(
c) seems to state the contrary. It states, in relevant part, that “Milestone Completion Credit shall be awarded in increments of not less than one week, but no more than twelve weeks in a twelve− month period. Milestone Completion Credit earned in excess of this limit shall be awarded to the inmate on his or her next credit anniversary, defined as one year after the inmate completes his or her first Milestone Comple- tion Credit program, and each year thereafter.” In other words, the regulation seems to allow credits earned to be “banked” and used the following year, while the Memorandum prohibits this.
Second, the Memorandum states that “[c]ollege cour- ses approved for MCC must lead to a degree.” Howev- er, Title 15 of the CCR, subdivision 3043.3(d), does not impose such a requirement. It states, in relevant part: (
d) A Milestone Completion Credit
Schedule (REV 07/18) is hereby incorporated by reference. The
schedule identifies all of the approved Milestone Completion Credit programs, the corresponding credit reduction for successful completion of each program, and whether credit for repeating the program is authorized. The department may authorize a program be repeated for credit if there are significant rehabilitative benefits to be gained by those inmates who retake the program. Page 2 of the Milestone Completion Credit
Schedule shows that a college course of 3 semester units or 4−5 quarter units provides a credit of 3 weeks, but it does not specify that the college course must lead to a degree. The Memorandum further interprets and makes specif- ic the regulation by requiring the college course to lead to a degree. The Memorandum does not merely restate
section 3043.3 of title 15, but goes beyond what is in
section 3043.3 of title 15 of the CCR by further implementing, interpreting and making it more specific. The Memorandum contains generally applicable rules that further implement, interpret and make more specific sections 3043 and 3043.3 of title 15 of the CCR, as well as Penal Code sections 5054 and 2933.05(
b) and Proposition 57. It therefore meets the definition of “reg- ulation” in Government Code
section 11342.600. The final issue to examine is whether the Memoran- dum falls within an express statutory exemption from the APA. Exemptions from the APA can be general ex- emptions that apply to all state rulemaking agencies. Exemptions may also be specific to a particular rule- making agency or a specific program. Pursuant to Gov- ernment Code
section 11346, the procedural require- ments established in the APA “shall not be superseded or modified by any subsequent legislation except to the extent that the legislation shall do so expressly.” (Em- phasis added.) The Department has not identified an express statuto- ry exemption from the APA that would apply to the Memorandum, nor did OAL find such an exemption. CONCLUSION In accordance with the above analysis, OAL deter- mines that the Memorandum meets the definition of “regulation” that should have been adopted pursuant to the APA, but was not. The Memorandum, therefore, is an underground regulation.
