Amended IN Senate April 27, 2021 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE 20212022 REGULAR SESSION Senate Bill No. 3Introduced by Senators Senator Caballero and Bradford(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Quirk-Silva)December 07, 2020An act to amend Section 1179.02 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to COVID-19 relief. An act to add Section 42238.08 to the Education Code, relating to education finance.LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 3, as amended, Caballero. Tenancy: COVID-19 Education finance: local control and accountability plan portal.Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law requires funding pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons that are based on the percentage of pupils who are English learners, foster youth, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as specified, served by the county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school. Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds apportioned pursuant to the supplemental and concentration grant add-ons. Existing law requires the governing board of each local educational agency, as defined, to adopt and annually update a local control and accountability plan, as specified. Existing law appropriates $450,000 from the General Fund to the State Department of Education for the 202021 fiscal year to support the alignment and integration of online platforms supporting the California School Dashboard, the Local Control and Accountability Plan Electronic Template System, and the School Accountability Report Card, as provided.This bill would require the State Department of Education to develop, on or before January 1, 2022, a local control and accountability plan portal that will allow comprehensive analysis by policymakers of actions, expenditures, and progress on metrics included within local control and accountability plans adopted by local educational agencies. The bill would require the portal to include a tracking mechanism for school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to use to report the types of services on which they spend their supplemental and concentration grant funds. Commencing July 1, 2022, the bill would require each local educational agency, as a condition of receiving supplemental and concentration grant funds, to annually report to the department the types of services on which it spends its supplemental and concentration grant funds using the portal developed by the department. The bill would require the department to make corresponding changes to the Local Control and Accountability Plan Electronic Template System, as specified. By imposing additional duties on local educational agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Existing law, the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020, establishes certain procedural requirements and limitations on evictions for nonpayment of rent due to COVID-19 rental debt, as defined. Existing law defines COVID-19 rental debt as unpaid rent or any other unpaid financial obligation of a tenant that came due during the covered time period, defined as the period between March 1, 2020, and January 31, 2021. The act also requires a notice that demands payment of rent that came due during the transition time period, defined as the period between September 30, 2020, and January 31, 2021, to comply with additional specified requirements.This bill would extend the covered time period and transition time period for purposes of the act to March 31, 2021.Under the act, a tenant may not be deemed in default with regard to COVID-19 rental debt for purposes of an unlawful detainer action if the tenant delivers a declaration of COVID-19-related financial distress, signed under penalty of perjury, to the landlord. Because the bill would extend the covered time period and thereby expand the time period a tenant may deliver a declaration of COVID-19-related financial distress, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program by expanding the crime of perjury.The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
