California Senate Bill SB825 Amended / Bill

 BILL NUMBER: SB 825AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN SENATE JANUARY 4, 2012 INTRODUCED BY Senator Corbett FEBRUARY 18, 2011  An act to amend Section 9600.5 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, relating to employment development.   An act to amend Section 30513 of the Public Resources Code, relating to coastal resources.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 825, as amended, Corbett.  Employment Development Department: training expenditures: report.   Coastal resources: California Coastal Act: local coastal programs: zoning requirements.   The California Coastal Act of 1976 imposes certain restrictions on development in the coastal zone of the state and requires each local government located within the coastal zone to prepare a local coastal program. The act further requires the local government to submit to the California Coastal Commission a land use plan, including zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, and, if required, other implementing actions.   The act authorizes the commission to suggest modifications to rejected zoning ordinances, zoning district maps, or other implementing actions. If the local government agrees to adopt those modifications, they will be deemed approved upon confirmation by the executive director. The act prohibits the commission from suggesting modifications in the rejected zoning ordinances if the local government requests the commission not to suggest modifications.   This bill would delete the restriction on the commission regarding suggested modifications.   Existing law requires the Employment Development Department to administer various job training and placement programs and services for eligible persons, as provided, and requires that the department, among other things, develop a statewide plan and area plans to coordinate all programs it administers, as specified. Existing law also requires the Employment Development Department to report annually to the Governor, the Legislature, and the California Workforce Investment Board, no later than November 30, regarding the training expenditures made by local workforce investment boards in the prior fiscal year, as provided.   This bill would require the Employment Development Department, instead of reporting to the Legislature, to report annually to the relevant fiscal committees of the Legislature.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:  SECTION 1.
