California Watershed Council. The California Watershed Council (CWC), established by AB 2534 (Pavley), directs the California Environmental Protection and Resources Agencies to coordinate and integrate the watershed program with all other programs. The council will develop recommendations for more effective and efficient delivery of state program services and funds. The CWC and the agencies will report to the Legislature by April 1, 2004, on the following:

Identify specific bond funded programs for coordinated processes.
Identify programs that use, or will use, Environmental Protection Indicators for California (EPIC) and the Legacy Project in their decision-making processes when awarding bond funds, such as competitive grants.
Environmental Protection Indicators. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Secretary for Environmental Protection, in conjunction with the constituent boards and departments in the California Environmental Protection Agency and in consultation with the Secretary for Resources and the Department of Health Services, use environmental indicators, where applicable, in the development of the budget proposals for the 2004-05 and future budget years. Specifically, budget change proposals submitted to the Legislature should articulate how the proposals affect any applicable “Tier 1” environmental indicator. To the extent that a budget change proposal relates to a “Tier 2” or “Tier 3” environmental indicator, then the budget change proposal should reference what data collection and/or further analysis is needed before the environmental status or trend that is the subject of the indicator can be presented.
Revenue Generation Projects. The Legislature encourages the expedited review and, if justified, approval and implementation of new competitively bid, performance based revenue generation projects so that these projects may provide additional state revenues without a state cash outlay as soon as possible, preferably in either the 2003-04 or 2004-05 fiscal years. By September 1, 2003, the board shall provide the Department of Finance and the Legislature with a list of approved and potential projects, along with the timing and amount of anticipated revenue.
Integrated Nonfiler Compliance Program. It is the intent of the Legislature to consider the impacts of the Franchise Tax Board’s Integrated Nonfiler Compliance (INC) Program on taxpayers. The board shall report to the Legislature by October 1, 2004, of the types of taxpayers affected by the INC program. The report shall include the following information: (1) the number of taxpayers and the income distribution of taxpayers affected by the INC program in total and as a result of reducing the tax liability threshold from $200 to $100, and (2) the amount of tax liabilities identified and the additional taxes collected through the INC program in total and as a result of reducing the tax liability threshold from $200 to $100.
Procurement Training and Certification Program. The Department of General Services shall, by April 1, 2004, provide a status report to the chairs of the budget subcommittees in each house and the Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the state’s procurement training and certification program. The report shall include: (a) descriptions of training courses conducted over the past 12 months, (b) the number of state staff attending each training course by department, (c) description and status of the state’s certification program, (d) the number of state staff receiving certification over the past 12 months by department, (e) descriptions of proposed training courses to be provided over the next 12 months and the estimated number of state staff to be trained, and (f) descriptions of training courses still under development.
Energy Action Plan. No later than January 1, 2004, the Energy Resources Conservation Development Commission (CEC), California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and California Consumer Power and Conservation Financing Authority (CPA) shall provide a joint report to the chairs of the fiscal committees and appropriate policy committees in both houses on the status of the implementation of the Energy Action Plan.
The Energy Action Plan stated that its goal is to:
“Ensure that adequate, reliable, and reasonably-priced electrical power and natural gas supplies, including prudent reserves, are achieved and provided through policies, strategies, and actions that are cost-effective and environmentally sound for California’s consumers and taxpayers.”
The plan also identified its intention to achieve this goal through six specific means. These means include reducing per capita electricity demand and accelerating the state’s goal for renewable resource generation, among others.
The report to the Legislature shall identify specific outcomes anticipated for each of the means identified in the plan. The report should also identify specific actions, as well as a timeline, for achieving these outcomes. For each of the actions identified, the report should also include the following:
Relevant state costs and suggested mechanisms for funding the action;
If applicable, necessary law changes to accommodate action; and
Role of each energy agency in achieving the action.

Adopt a Campsite/Trail Program. The department shall conduct a survey during the summer of 2003, at a park of its choice, to determine the public’s interest to participate in an “Adopt a Campsite/Trail Program.” In concept this program would both operate and serve similar purposes to the Department of Transportation’s “Adopt a Highway Program.” Under the Adopt a Campsite Program, individuals would pay a fee which would be used to fund maintenance, cleanup activities, plus the installation of signage recognizing the contributor’s donation. At a minimum, the survey shall attempt to quantify the level of public interest, the amount the public would be willing to fund per site, the costs associated with implementing a pilot program to implement the Adopt a Campsite Program, any obstacles to implementing the program, statutory changes that would be required, and other information that would assist the Legislature in determining the viability of enacting the program. The department shall compile the results of this survey and report its findings to the fiscal and policy committees of each house of the Legislature prior to March 1, 2004.
Projected Future Workload. The Resources Agency shall report to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, on or before December 30, 2003, on the status of the Delta Protection Commission and its projected future workload.

The impact on the agricultural resources, environmental, and recreational opportunities of the Delta in the absence of the Delta Protection Commission.
An analysis of various ideas regarding the future organization of the Delta Protection Commission, including but not limited to mission, membership, and funding, focused on the goal of increasing cooperation and consensus, and to better reflect the state’s working relationship with local governments, landowners, and other public and private entities in the Delta given the changes that have taken place since the creation of the commission.
¾ Plans for continued efforts to protect agriculture, wildlife habitat, and recreational activities.
¾ Ways to facilitate coordination with other agencies such as the California Bay-Delta Authority.

On or before January 10, 2004, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) shall provide a report to the Legislature (including budget and fiscal committees from both houses) on the long-term baseline funding requirements of the office. It is the intent of the Legislature that OEHHA be funded at a level that allows the office to adequately meet its statutory mandates and to do so as efficiently as possible. The purpose of this report shall be to determine the appropriate level of funding for the office and allocation of funding sources to support this level of funding. In particular, the report shall include the following:
Analysis of ongoing funding requirements of the department to allow it to carry out its responsibilities under state law.
Recommendations regarding the appropriate mix of general funds and special funds, including all eligible special fund sources (whether or not fund balances are available to support these activities), to support the office’s activities.
Recommendations for the level of General Fund and fee support to support these activities, tying the funding source to specific mandated activities, and a justification for why these levels were selected.
Findings regarding potential improvements in the efficiency of the department’s operations, including mechanisms to share workload with other Cal-EPA agencies and the Department of Health Services.
Estate Recovery Unit Expansion. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Health Services (DHS) evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the additional positions approved in the 2003-04 budget plan for the Estate Recoveries Unit for the recovery of Medi-Cal funds. The DHS shall specifically report on the number of positions filled and the number of vacant positions from among those approved in the budget plan, the average amount of recoveries collected per person in the unit, and the net fiscal impact on the state from the implementation of the expansion of the unit. The DHS shall report its findings in writing to the Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the chairs of the fiscal committees of both houses of the Legislature, by December 1, 2004.
Outstanding Rebate Collections. It is the intent of the Legislature that the Department of Health Services (DHS) evaluate the cost-effectiveness of its efforts to collect outstanding Medi-Cal pharmaceutical rebates.

The report shall include the following: (1) a list and description of the treatment programs and their availability at each institution; (2) placement criteria for each program that describes the criteria used to assign wards to treatment programs and the testing instrument that determines placement; and (3) a plan to evaluate their treatment programs that includes program goals and performance measures, a timeline for an evaluation of each of their programs, and whether the evaluation will be conducted within existing resources or will require additional funding.
In addition, the Department of Finance, in consultation with the Legislative Analyst’s Office, shall develop a detailed budget display for treatment programs that includes the annual funding levels for the Youth Authority’s mental health, sex offender, and drug treatment programs. The budget display shall be included in the Governor’s January 10, 2004 budget document and annually thereafter.
Changing the Kindergarten Start Date Study. The State Department of Education (SDE), in consultation with the Legislative Analyst Office, shall report by December 10, 2003 to the budget and policy committees of both houses on the impact of changing the kindergarten start date to require students to be five years old by September 1 instead of December 2. This study shall address the following issues:
What are the fiscal implications of changing the start date for Proposition 98 and the General Fund?
How many students would be impacted by such a policy change? What would it cost to provide preschool services to a portion or all of the students impacted by the policy change?
Develop cost neutral alternatives that would redirect any Proposition 98 savings from this policy change to provide additional state preschool slots. This analysis should include both the cost of direct services and facilities.
In addition, SDE shall work with the Proposition 10 commission to develop a scope of work for a study to (1) assess the existing need for state preschool, (2) the pressures that this policy change would place on the demand for preschool services, and (3) conduct an inventory of existing preschool facilities including private providers. The scope of work shall also estimate the costs of completing the study.
Coordinating Financial Aid for California Undergraduate Students. The enactment of Chapter 403, Statutes of 2000 (SB 1644, Ortiz), significantly changed financial aid policy for the state for undergraduates—greatly expanding opportunities for some students while limiting opportunities for others. The law also affected the relationship of the Cal Grant programs with institutional aid, fee waivers, and federal financial aid programs administered by both public and private colleges. The specific effects of the new law on undergraduate students statewide remain unclear, however.
The Legislature requests the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) to assemble a task force to examine the interaction between undergraduate institutional financial aid and fee waiver programs and the new Cal Grant Entitlement and Cal Grant Competitive programs. Specifically, the task force shall assess the extent to which the existing financial aid system for undergraduates: (1) meets student financial needs in attaining a postsecondary education, (2) operates efficiently for students and their families, and (3) ensures accountability. Special attention should be given to the interaction between various financial aid programs in meeting student needs.
The task force shall include, but not be limited to, representatives from the University of California (UC), the California State University (CSU), the California Community Colleges, the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities, the California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools, the Student Aid Commission, the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the Department of Finance, the Office of the Secretary for Education, legislative staff from the fiscal and policy committees of each house, and student representatives from each of California’s postsecondary education segments. The task force shall submit a report of its findings no later than April 15, 2004.
Eligibility Study. It is the intent of the Legislature that UC, CSU, and CPEC work together to finalize the eligibility study to be based on 2003 public high school graduates. The new web-based electronic transcript evaluation system, established by UC to evaluate students’ academic achievement through their junior year of high school for the Eligibility in the Local Context program, will be expanded to evaluate transcripts on a broader scale inclusive of senior-year courses and grades. Transcripts will offer information on eligibility as well as allow the segments to conduct in-depth analyses of course-taking patterns, grades, and test scores within a school and schools relative to each other.
The study on the fall 2003 data shall be completed and submitted to the fiscal and policy committees of both houses of the Legislature no later than May 15, 2004.
It is further the intent of the Legislature that UC, CSU, and CPEC work together to conduct an eligibility study based on the class of 2001. The study based on the 2001 data shall be completed and submitted to the fiscal and policy committees of both houses of the Legislature no later than August 2005.
A-G Courses. It is the intent of the Legislature that the University of California (UC) continue to assist school districts that maintain high schools to ensure that (a) school districts and high schools are informed of UC's certification process for courses needed to meet admissions requirements ("a-g" courses) and (b) high school pupils are well-informed of the a-g course admissions requirements at the California State University and UC.
It is the intent of the Legislature that UC continue the following activities regarding the approval process and subsequent maintenance of the a-g course lists:
Continue to enhance and update both the a-g interactive guide and the a-g online web sites.
Continue to train and support Cadre of Expert teams, consisting of high school educators and UC outreach staff, to serve as resources for high schools on the a-g approval process.
Continue to make presentations at regional and state conferences, meetings and events.
In an effort to assess the accuracy of high school's a-g course lists, it is the intent of the Legislature that UC survey a select number of high schools to evaluate the accuracy of their a-g lists.
The UC shall report to the Legislature by February 15, 2004 on the above efforts. The Legislative Analyst's Office shall review and comment on the report during budget hearings.
Faculty Diversity. It is the intent of the Legislature that UC take steps to identify and eliminate the barriers that prevent the full representation of women and people of color among UC faculty appointments. Such steps should include:·
Support for research programs that address issues of race and gender affecting the State of California, including research that analyzes the experiences of women and people of color in higher education careers.
Implementing policies requiring comprehensive recruitment for faculty positions, including widespread job posting and advertising strategies that include groups and organizations that provide access to women and minority candidates.
Providing incentives to departments and divisions which identify and hire candidates whose record of research will contribute to the understanding of issues of race and gender affecting the State of California and/or whose record of teaching and service will contribute to equal educational opportunity at UC.
Developing programs to address barriers that prevent full retention and success of women and people of color, such as career development awards that compensate junior faculty for excessive commitments and leadership training programs that provide access to administrative appointments for senior faculty.
Holding meetings to address issues facing women and minority faculty in the UC system, and engage the academic senate and academic administration in a partnership to create effective, responsive strategies.
Recognizing that UC’s own graduate and professional programs are a major source of UC faculty and take steps to identify and eliminate barriers to admission, retention, and success for women and students of color in these programs.
The UC shall report to the fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature by February 15, 2004 with regard to programs and progress made to achieve faculty diversity.
UC Riverside Biomedical Sciences Program. It is the intent of the Legislature that UC continue its progress in reconfiguring the UC Riverside Biomedical Sciences, consistent with the goals and objectives expressed by the Legislature in the 2003‑04 Budget Act and Supplemental Report, as well as proposals specified in President Atkinson’s May 17, 2002 letter and three-page May 22, 2002 attachment on this subject entitled “Restructuring Premedical Preparation and the UCR/UCLA Thomas Haider Program in Biomedical Sciences at UCR.”
The reconfiguration should achieve the following goals: increase the probability that all interested students from across campus will become successful in attaining a career in the health sciences, including obtaining and M.D. degree from the UCR/UCLA Biomedical Sciences Program or from other medical schools throughout the state and country; improve the academic progress of all students who are dismissed from the Biomedical Sciences undergraduate program during their first three years at UC Riverside; increase the accessibility of the medical school phase of the Biomedical Sciences Program to a broader range of undergraduate students, including educationally disadvantages students and those who require some experience and guidance prior to deciding upon a career path; and help meet the state’s need for physicians and health practitioners who are committed to pursuing medical careers of service in medically underserved communities.
It is further the intent of the Legislature that yearly funding for the UC Riverside Biomedical Sciences program be contingent upon ongoing reconfiguration of the program to address the above goals and structural changes agreed to by the University. The university is requested to report to the fiscal committees of the Legislature by January 15, 2004 and each year thereafter for four more years on its effort to reconfigure this program.
Budget Reductions. It is the intent of the Legislature that reductions to the California State University (CSU) budget in 2003‑04 be implemented to protect, to the greatest extent possible, the CSU’s primary educational mission of undergraduate and graduate instruction, as defined in Education Code Section 66010.4. To this end, the CSU will give priority to funding core classroom instructional needs, student services, and libraries. It is recognized that other functions of the CSU, such as academic support and maintenance and operations, help to maintain the system’s educational quality.
In addition, the CSU shall:
Ensure that budget reductions are apportioned to mitigate their impact on the quality and availability of CSU class offerings, student services, and libraries.
Use alternative funding sources, to the extent permissible under law, to help mitigate the impact of budget reductions on students, faculty, and staff.
Reduce administrative costs, while at the same time maintaining sufficient resources necessary for the campuses and system to operate efficiently, serve students effectively, manage the CSU system, and remain accountable to the state.
Defer expenses in 2003‑04 for implementation of the Common Management System (CMS) on campuses proposing new start-up projects, where feasible.
