AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2016 Ratings of California

Dear Fellow Conservatives,

We are pleased to present the American Conservative Union Foundation’s ratings for the 2016 meeting of the California State Legislature. Like our Congressional Ratings, our State Ratings reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual's life. The California legislators with the highest scores voted most consistently with the ideals articulated in the U.S. Constitution: limited and transparent government, individual rights, personal responsibility, and lasting cultural values.

In 2015, ACU Foundation was proud to make history by being the first organization to rate every single state legislature across the full spectrum of issues, helping each voter understand how his or her state ranks among the rest.

Ultimately, we are trying to help people understand what conservatism is and how it improves the lives of everyday Americans. Conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person. We think that understanding this idea is essential if Americans are to successfully govern themselves again.

Working with our policy centers and fellows, the ACU Foundation engages in deep policy analysis to help create our annual state scorecards. We have enhanced the vote descriptions this year to show this effort more clearly.

By examining all 50 of our State Ratings, we can see which states have most effectively promoted conservative solutions and which have struggled. Our ratings also help identify legislators who have courageously fought against liberal majorities. We hope that this guide helps you learn how well, or poorly, your legislators work to preserve the values we share.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the California State Legislature that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of California’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 3 Minimum Wage. This bill gradually raises the minimum wage each year until it reaches $15 per hour by the year 2022, which is a 50 percent increase from current rates. Smaller employers would be given one extra year (2023) to comply with the hike. An increase in the minimum wage results in higher unemployment. High rates of unemployment hinder family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes such artificial wages, which harm those who need help with employment the most, such as students and inexperienced workers, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 31, 2016 by a vote of 26-12.

2. SB 1407 Gun Registration. This bill requires that the owners of all handguns manufactured since 1898 that do not have a serial number apply to the state Justice Department to obtain one. It also prohibits the sale or transfer of a “hobbyist” built firearm. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 19, 2016 by a vote of 24-14.

3. SB 880 Gun Registration. This bill greatly expands the definition of “assault weapon” to include any firearm that has a magazine locking device, which is known as a “bullet button.” Those who own these firearms must now register them or face confiscation and possible arrest. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 19, 2016 by a vote of 24-14.

4. SB 899 Price Controls. This bill is meant to combat the "pink tax" by prohibiting gender-based price discrimination for goods of a substantially similar or like kind. Currently, service industries, such as dry cleaning, fall under the restriction of this law. The expansion covers all goods sharing 90 percent of the same materials or ingredients (excluding food). ACU opposes price controls that distort the free market in prices and drive up the cost of products and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on May 26, 2016 by a vote of 22-12.

5. SB 879 Affordable Housing Grants. This bill places a referendum on the ballot for voter approval involving a $3 billion bond package that contains numerous new government affordable housing grants and projects. The package includes down payment assistance for first time home buyers and government constructed “affordable apartments,” among other projects. ACU opposes government interference in the housing market and adding billions in state debt that will result in the need for more tax increases and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 1, 2016 by a vote of 28-9.

6. SB 1400 Tobacco Sales. This bill bans convenience stores and gas stations from selling any tobacco products, limiting tobacco product sales to licensed “smoke shops.” ACU believes that both tobacco and e-cigarettes are a personal liberty issue, that government regulations on products are only appropriate when their use substantially impacts others, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 21-16.

7. SB 10 Illegal Immigrant Health Benefits. This bill allows California to ask the federal government to allow illegal immigrants the right to buy health insurance through the state exchange set up under Obamacare, which was explicitly prohibited by federal legislation. ACU opposes special benefits for illegal immigrants and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 28-10.

8. SB 1235 Ammunition Regulations. This bill sets up a new regulatory regime on all ammunition sales. Anyone wishing to purchase ammunition must now go through a background check system run by the California Department of Justice. The California Attorney General will be required to maintain information about the transaction. In addition, all online ammunition sales must now go through licensed vendors. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on June 30, 2016 by a vote of 23-14.

9. AB 1921 Ballot Integrity. This bill authorizes “ballot harvesting”—submitting multiple mailed ballots to an election office—and removes limitations on submitting ballots for close family members. ACU opposes measures that weaken ballot integrity and make it easier to commit voter fraud and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 15, 2016 by a vote of 26-11.

10. SB 1257 Forcing Attorneys to Work for Free. This bill requires law school graduates to perform 50 hours of free legal work before being admitted to the state bar. ACU opposes a government mandate that forces people to work without compensation and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 15, 2016 by a vote of 26-12.

11. AB 1554 Powdered Alcohol. This bill prohibits the possession, purchase, or sale of powdered alcohol. ACU opposes bans on safe products, legislation that is primarily designed to restrict competition, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 16, 2016 by a vote of 39-0.

12. AB 1669 State Contractor Bidding Preference. This bill expands the 10 percent bidding preference given to state contractors, who work on public transit projects and retain their present employees, to now also include contractors who provide solid waste collection and transportation services. ACU opposes this interference in private company’s hiring practices and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 16, 2016 by a vote of 22-13.

13. AB 1747 Food Subsidy Expansion. This bill expands eligibility for a food aid program known as the “Restaurant Meals Program” which provides freshly cooked food. The program was originally designed to help homeless, disabled, and elderly people but this bill expands eligibility to now also include college students. ACU opposes this misuse of a welfare program and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 17, 2016 by a vote of 30-7.

14. AB 450 Concealed Carry Fee. This bill eliminates the $100 cap on fees a sheriff may charge to issue a concealed carry firearms permit. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill as a way of basing the right to bear arms on financial means. The Senate passed the bill on August 17, 2016 by a vote of 23-16.

15. AB 1763 Health Insurance Mandate. This bill prohibits insurance companies from imposing a cost sharing requirement on patients between the ages of 50 and 75 wishing to have a colorectal cancer screening or colonoscopy. ACU opposes these mandates that drive up the cost of insurance for everyone and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 18, 2016 by a vote of 24-12.

16. AB 874 Unionizing Judicial Employees. This bill allows employees of the Judicial Council to join a union even though they are constitutionally exempt from being part of the civil service. The bill does not include any details on how a union agreement would be ratified, or how the Dills Act that governs collective bargaining would be applied, among other issues. ACU opposes changing a system designed to keep judicial employees out of the political arena and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 18, 2016 by a vote of 25-12.

17. AB 1643 Worker’s Compensation Mandate. This bill purports to eliminate “gender bias” when making decisions regarding worker’s compensation, but the effect is to use worker’s compensation for problems unrelated to the worker’s job. ACU supports using worker’s compensation for its original purpose, work-related injuries, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 24-14.

18. AB 2530 Container Reporting Requirements. This bill requires manufacturers of beverage containers to report the amount of virgin plastic and recycled material used in the containers. ACU opposes this burdensome requirement that is almost impossible to calculate and drives up the cost of products to consumers and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 22-16.

19. AB 1690 Seniority Protection for Adjunct Professors. This bill guarantees seniority rights for adjunct professors and gives them collective bargaining rights. Once a part time professor has obtained good evaluations for six semesters, he or she is placed on a seniority list for favored assignments and is provided the right to keep a steady workload regardless of performance. ACU believes students deserve the best professors, not those who have been around the longest, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 23-14.

20. AB 1890 State Contractor Mandate. This bill requires state contractors with 100 or more employees and more than $50,000 in state contracts to submit reports to the state, breaking down their workforce by race, gender, and compensation. They must also prove they have a “non-discrimination” program. ACU opposes these costly and burdensome regulations that have nothing to do with a company’s ability to carry out a contract and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 26-12.

21. AB 2197 Unemployment Compensation for Summer Vacation. This bill allows school employees to apply for unemployment compensation for the time school is not in session at an estimated cost of $64 million per year. ACU opposes using unemployment compensation for those who are employed and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 25-13.

22. AB 1594 E-Cigarette Ban. This bill places e-cigarettes in the same category as regular cigarettes and bans them from all state university and college campuses. ACU believes that both tobacco and e-cigarettes are a personal liberty issue, that government regulations on products are only appropriate when their use substantially impacts others, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 26-12.

23. AB 2820 Price Controls. This bill establishes price controls on housing rents and towing services during a natural or man-made emergency. During such an event, residential rental rates and towing service rates would not be allowed to rise by more than 10 percent. ACU opposes price controls that prevent the market from properly allocating scarce resources, which causes service and product shortages, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 31-0.

24. AB 2588 Independent Insurance Adjuster License. This bill requires each individual insurance adjuster working for a licensed firm to obtain their own individual insurance adjuster license, despite the fact the firm is already required to be licensed by the state. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes the proliferation of license requirements, which is primarily designed to restrict competition, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 25-13.

25. SB 32 Renewable Energy Mandate. This bill greatly increases the state’s renewable energy mandate by requiring a cut in greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2030. Current law calls for a reduction to 1990 levels by the year 2020. ACU supports all forms of energy, believes government should not support one form of energy over another, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 24, 2016 by a vote of 25-13.

26. SB 443 Asset Forfeiture Reform. This bill makes a series of reforms to the state’s asset forfeiture laws, including requiring a conviction before the permanent seizure of a car, home, or cash under $40,000. In order for larger amounts of cash to be seized, there must be “clear and convincing evidence” of a crime. The bill also prohibits the practice of sending confiscated goods to the federal government in order to bypass the state restrictions. ACU Foundation’s Center for Criminal Justice Reform engages heavily on these issues and opposes “policing for profit,” and supports the reform of asset forfeiture laws. ACU supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The Senate passed the bill on August 24, 2016 by a vote of 39-0.

27. SB 947 Welfare Regulations. This bill authorizes a county welfare agency to conduct interviews over the phone or by “other electronic means” when an applicant is applying for cash benefits, unless the applicant objects. ACU opposes measures that make it easier to commit welfare fraud and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 24, 2016 by a vote of 31-8.

28. SB 908 Health Insurance Mandate. This bill requires health insurance companies to send out a notice to customers if the government decides that a price increase is “unreasonable.” ACU believes the government should not decide whether the cost of a product is “just” or “unjust” and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 24, 2016 by a vote of 25-12.

29. AB 2792 State Mandate on Federal Immigration Authorities. This bill orders federal immigration authorities who detain illegal immigrants to give a written consent form to explain the purpose of the interview and to let the detainee know the interview is voluntary. ACU supports the enforcement of federal immigration laws and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 25, 2016 by a vote of 26-10.

30. SB 778 Auto Service Regulations. This bill requires any service station that offers an oil change to register as an automotive maintenance provider, subjecting them to additional regulations. In an attempt to reduce oil consumption, this bill also prohibits companies from recommending oil changes and other auto servicing intervals that differ from a vehicle’s owner’s manual. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes such regulations, which are primarily designed to restrict competition and drive up consumer costs, and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 29-10.

31. AB 2523 Campaign Contribution Cap. This bill imposes a campaign contribution limit of $4,200 for local officials where no local cap has been established. ACU opposes this interference in local elections and restricting political free speech through contribution limits and opposed this bill. The Senate failed to pass the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 25-14 (a 2/3rds vote was required).

32. SB 1069 Accessory Dwelling Unit. This bill eases restrictions on constructing an accessory dwelling unit, also known as a “granny flat”, for a property where a home already exists. The bill also reduces numerous regulatory burdens, such as the need for expensive separate utility connections, fire sprinkler requirements, and parking space mandates. ACU Foundation’s Center for 21st Century Property Rights engages heavily on these issues and supports strengthening property rights. ACU supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 30, 2016 by a vote of 30-2.

33. SB 1139 State Scholarships for Illegal Immigrants. This bill allows illegal immigrants to apply for state scholarships and loan forgiveness programs, including medical degree programs that offer awards up to $100,000. ACU opposes special benefits for illegal immigrants and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 30, 2016 by a vote of 28-11.

34. AB 700 Campaign Finance Disclosure. This bill requires that political ads disclose the top campaign contributors for ballot initiatives or candidates for office. ACU opposes these measures that are designed to intimidate potential contributors and suppress free political speech and opposed this bill. The Senate failed to pass the bill on August 31, 2016 by a vote of 26-11 (a 2/3rds vote was required).

35. SB 739 Charter School Restriction. This bill prohibits a school district from authorizing a charter school outside its jurisdiction if the school district has a “negative budget certification,” meaning it doesn’t meet government requirements for financing. ACU supports the expansion of school choice and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 31, 2016 by a vote of 25-13.

36. SB 1383 War on Dairy Cows. This bill requires that the state implements a strategy to reduce methane emissions to 40 percent below 2013 levels by the year 2030. A vaguely worded amendment was added to require that the regulations be “economically feasible,” but the bill still provides virtually unrestrained power to the Air Resources Board. ACU opposes regulations that will harm the dairy industry while doing nothing to change the climate and opposed this bill. The Senate passed the bill on August 31, 2016 by a vote of 25-12.

1. AB 700 Campaign Finance Disclosure. This bill requires that political ads disclose the top campaign contributors for ballot initiatives or candidates for office. ACU opposes these measures that are designed to intimidate potential contributors and suppress free political speech and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on January 27, 2016 by a vote of 60-15.

2. SB 3 Minimum Wage. This bill gradually raises the minimum wage each year until it reaches $15 per hour by the year 2022, which is a 50 percent increase from current rates. Smaller employers would be given one extra year (2023) to comply with the hike. An increase in the minimum wage results in higher unemployment. High rates of unemployment hinder family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes such artificial wages, which harm those who need help with employment the most, such as students and inexperienced workers, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on March 31, 2016 by a vote of 48-26.

3. SB 10 Illegal Immigrant Health Benefits. This bill allows California to ask the federal government to allow illegal immigrants the right to buy health insurance through the state exchange set up under Obamacare, which was explicitly prohibited by federal legislation. ACU opposes special benefits for illegal immigrants and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on May 31, 2016 by a vote of 55-20.

4. AB 1690 Seniority Protection for Adjunct Professors. This bill guarantees seniority rights for adjunct professors and gives them collective bargaining rights. Once a part time professor has obtained good evaluations for six semesters, he or she is placed on a seniority list for favored assignments and is provided the right to keep a steady workload regardless of performance. ACU believes students deserve the best professors, not those who have been around the longest, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 1, 2016 by a vote of 52-26.

5. AB 1643 Worker’s Compensation Mandate. This bill purports to eliminate “gender bias” when making decisions regarding worker’s compensation but the effect is to use worker’s compensation for problems unrelated to the worker’s job. ACU supports using worker’s compensation for its original purpose, work-related injuries, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 1, 2016 by a vote of 60-20.

6. AB 1715 Behavioral Services Licensing. This bill requires that anyone considered to be providing “behavioral services” obtain a license. The bill covers numerous categories of service, including the teaching of “living skills” and working with children who have various types of disabilities. Licenses require a Master’s Degree and 3,500 hours of experience, among other requirements. ACU opposes the proliferation of license requirements that are primarily designed to restrict competition and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 1, 2016 by a vote of 71-4.

7. AB 1742 Welfare Expansion. This bill doubles the amount of income that can be “disregarded” when calculating eligibility for welfare benefits and increases the amount of remaining income that can also be “disregarded.” Expanding Medicaid has a negative impact on the economy and family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes this de-facto expansion of welfare and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 71-6.

8. AB 1965 “Cash for Clunkers” Expansion. This bill expands the so-called “cash for clunkers” program from just two regions to the entire state. Under the bill, which is copied from the failed national program, individuals can receive up to $12,000 in state aid towards the purchase of a new hybrid or electric vehicle and up to $4,500 for a more efficient internal combustion engine for turning in their “old, dirty car.” ACU does not believe government should be in the used car business, which in this case costs taxpayers $19 million per year, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 55-23.

9. AB 2197 Unemployment Compensation for Summer Vacation. This bill allows school employees to apply for unemployment compensation for the time school is not in session at an estimated cost of $64 million per year. ACU opposes using unemployment compensation for those who are employed and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed this bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 51-27.

10. AB 2523 Campaign Contribution Cap. This bill imposes a campaign contribution limit of $4,200 for local officials where no local cap has been established. ACU opposes this interference in local elections and restricting political free speech through contribution limits and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 2, 2016 by a vote of 51-26.

CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY VOTE DESCRIPTIONS

11. SB 880 Gun Registration. This bill greatly expands the definition of “assault weapon” to include any firearm that has a magazine locking device, which is known as a “bullet button.” Those who own these firearms must now register them or face confiscation and possible arrest. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 30, 2016 by a vote of 44-30.

12. SB 1235 Ammunition Regulations. This bill sets up a new regulatory regime on all ammunition sales. Anyone wishing to purchase ammunition must now go through a background check system run by the California Department of Justice. The California Attorney General will be required to maintain information about the transaction. In addition, all online ammunition sales must now go through licensed vendors. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on June 30, 2016 by a vote of 46-30.

13. SB 1257 Forcing Attorneys to Work for Free. This bill requires law school graduates to perform 50 hours of free legal work before being admitted to the state bar. ACU opposes a government mandate that forces people to work without compensation and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 4, 2016 by a vote of 42-31.

14. SB 443 Asset Forfeiture Reform. This bill makes a series of reforms to the state’s asset forfeiture laws, including requiring a conviction before the permanent seizure of a car, home, or cash under $40,000. In order for larger amounts of cash to be seized, there must be “clear and convincing evidence” of a crime. The bill also prohibits the practice of sending confiscated goods to the federal government in order to bypass the state restrictions. ACU Foundation’s Center for Criminal Justice Reform engages heavily on these issues and opposes “policing for profit,” and supports the reform of asset forfeiture laws. ACU supported this bill as a step in the right direction. The Assembly passed the bill on August 15, 2016 by a vote of 69-7.

15. SB 1139 State Scholarships for Illegal Immigrants. This bill allows illegal immigrants to apply for state scholarships and loan forgiveness programs, including medical degree programs that offer awards up to $100,000. ACU opposes special benefits for illegal immigrants and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 18, 2016 by a vote of 56-20.

16. SB 879 Affordable Housing Grants. This bill places a referendum on the ballot for voter approval involving a $3 billion bond package that contains numerous new government affordable housing grants and projects. The package includes down payment assistance for first time home buyers and government constructed “affordable apartments,” among other projects. ACU opposes government interference in the housing market and adding billions in state debt that will result in the need for more tax increases and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 19, 2016 by a vote of 50-20.

17. AB 1554 Powdered Alcohol. This bill prohibits the possession, purchase, or sale of powdered alcohol. ACU opposes bans on safe products, legislation that is primarily designed to restrict competition, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 76-0.

18. SB 778 Auto Service Regulations. This bill requires any service station that offers an oil change to register as an automotive maintenance provider, subjecting them to additional regulations. In an attempt to reduce oil consumption, this bill also prohibits companies from recommending oil changes and other auto servicing intervals that differ from a vehicle’s owner’s manual. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes such regulations, which are primarily designed to restrict competition and drive up consumer costs, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 66-10.

19. SB 908 Health Insurance Mandate. This bill requires health insurance companies to send out a notice to customers if the government decides that a price increase is “unreasonable.” ACU believes the government should not decide whether the cost of a product is “just” or “unjust” and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 51-26.

20. SB 947 Welfare Regulations. This bill authorizes a county welfare agency to conduct interviews over the phone or by “other electronic means” when an applicant is applying for cash benefits, unless the applicant objects. ACU opposes measures that make it easier to commit welfare fraud and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 22, 2016 by a vote of 61-17.

21. SB 32 Renewable Energy Mandate. This bill greatly increases the state’s renewable energy mandate by requiring a cut in greenhouse gas emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by the year 2030. Current law calls for a reduction to 1990 levels by the year 2020. ACU supports all forms of energy, believes government should not support one form of energy over another, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 48-31.

22. SB 450 Eliminating Precinct Polling Places. This bill allows counties to set up a new voting system that eliminates precinct polling places and replaces them with area voting centers. Ballots are mailed to voters who can then cast their votes at these centers over a number of weeks. ACU supports the integrity of the ballot, opposes measures that make it easier to commit voter fraud, and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 47-31.

12


23. AB 1669 State Contractor Bidding Preference. This bill expands the 10 percent bidding preference given to state contractors, who work on public transit projects and retain their present employees, to now also include contractors who provide solid waste collection and transportation services. ACU opposes this interference in private company’s hiring practices and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 50-28.

24. AB 1747 Food Subsidy Expansion. This bill expands eligibility for a food aid program known as the “Restaurant Meals Program” which provides freshly cooked food. The program was originally designed to help homeless, disabled, and elderly people but this bill expands eligibility to now also include college students. ACU opposes this misuse of a welfare program and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 67-13.

25. AB 1763 Health Insurance Mandate. This bill prohibits insurance companies from imposing a cost sharing requirement on patients between the ages of 50 and 75 wishing to have a colorectal cancer screening or colonoscopy. ACU opposes these mandates that drive up the cost of insurance for everyone and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 23, 2016 by a vote of 64-12.

26. AB 874 Unionizing Judicial Employees. This bill allows employees of the Judicial Council to join a union even though they are constitutionally exempt from being part of the civil service. The bill does not include any details on how a union agreement would be ratified, or how the Dills Act that governs collective bargaining would be applied, among other issues. ACU opposes changing a system designed to keep judicial employees out of the political arena and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 24, 2016 by a vote of 52-26.

27. AB 1890 State Contractor Mandate. This bill requires state contractors with 100 or more employees and more than $50,000 in state contracts to submit reports to the state, breaking down their workforce by race, gender, and compensation. They must also prove they have a “non-discrimination” program. ACU opposes these costly and burdensome regulations that have nothing to do with a company’s ability to carry out a contract and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 25, 2016 by a vote of 55-24.

28. AB 2530 Container Reporting Requirements. This bill requires manufacturers of beverage containers to report the amount of virgin plastic and recycled material used in the containers. ACU opposes this burdensome requirement that is almost impossible to calculate and drives up the cost of products to consumers and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 25, 2016 by a vote of 55-21.

29. SB 739 Charter School Restriction. This bill prohibits a school district from authorizing a charter school outside its jurisdiction if the school district has a “negative budget certification,” meaning it doesn’t meet government requirements for financing. ACU supports the expansion of school choice and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 51-26.

30. SB 1069 Accessory Dwelling Unit. This bill eases restrictions on constructing an accessory dwelling unit, also known as a “granny flat”, for a property where a home already exists. The bill also reduces numerous regulatory burdens, such as the need for expensive separate utility connections, fire sprinkler requirements, and parking space mandates. ACU Foundation’s Center for 21st Century Property Rights engages heavily on these issues and supports strengthening property rights. ACU supports strengthening property rights and supported this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 55-23.

31. AB 2588 Independent Insurance Adjuster License. This bill requires each individual insurance adjuster working for a licensed firm to obtain their own individual insurance adjuster license, despite the fact the firm is already required to be licensed by the state. When entrepreneurship is suppressed, the resulting decline in economic growth leads to a reduction in family prosperity, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index. ACU opposes the proliferation of license requirements primarily designed to restrict competition and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 50-29.

32. AB 2820 Price Controls. This bill establishes price controls on housing rents and towing services during a natural or man-made emergency. During such an event, residential rental rates and towing service rates would not be allowed to rise by more than 10 percent.

The Assembly passed the bill on August 29, 2016 by a vote of 67-11.

33. AB 450 Concealed Carry Fee. This bill eliminates the $100 cap on fees a sheriff may charge to issue a concealed carry firearms permit.

The Assembly passed the bill on August 30, 2016 by a vote of 42-35.

34. AB 1594 E-Cigarette Ban. This bill places e-cigarettes in the same category as regular cigarettes and bans them from all state university and college campuses.

The Assembly passed the bill on August 30, 2016 by a vote of 52-27.

13


35. AB 2792 State Mandate on Federal Immigration Authorities. This bill orders federal immigration authorities who detain illegal immigrants to give a written consent form to explain the purpose of the interview and to let the detainee know the interview is voluntary. ACU supports the enforcement of federal immigration laws and opposed this bill. The Assembly passed the bill on August 30, 2016 by a vote of 46-29.

36. AB 1921 Ballot Integrity. This bill authorizes “ballot harvesting”—submitting multiple mailed ballots to an election office—and removes limitations on submitting ballots for close family members.

37. SB 1383 War on Dairy Cows. This bill requires that the state implements a strategy to reduce methane emissions to 40 percent below 2013 levels by the year 2030. A vaguely worded amendment was added to require that the regulations be “economically feasible,” but the bill still provides virtually unrestrained power to the Air Resources Board.
