Coming Attractions At the Legislature California State Assembly The California State Assembly is the lower chamber of the California State Legislature. The Assembly meets in the state capitol building. The Green Carpet Chamber. Democrat Party Control. All 80 Assembly seats are up for election in 2020! Primary Election is March 3, 2020 General Election is November 3, 2020 Filing Deadline is December 6, 2019 California State Senate The California State Senate is the upper house of the California State Legislature. The Senate meets in the state capitol building. The Red Carpet Chamber. Democratic Party Control. Consists of 40 Senators elected for 4-year terms. 20 Senators with odd- numbered districts will have elections in 2020! Primary Election is March 3, 2020 General Election is November 3, 2020 Filing Deadline is December 6, 2019 Key Legislative Bill Updates Board of Registered Nursing AB 1364 (Rubio) Nursing Schools and Programs: Exemptions Board Position: Opposed Status: Moved to Suspense File This bill sought to exempt California nursing schools that met specified performance criteria from the requirement for the Board’s approvals for changes to faculty, enrollments, clinical simulation hours and clinical placements. The bill would prohibit a nursing school from providing payment to a clinical agency or facility in exchange for clinical experience placements. AB 890 (Wood) Nurse Practitioners: Scope of Practice: Unsupervised Practice Board Position: Opposed Unless Amended Status: Moved to Two Year Bill This bill seeks to create a new APRN Board to regulate advanced practice nurses, who by meeting specified criteria, are able to practice independently. The bill is not clear on whether it is applicable to Nurse Practitioners or all Advanced Practice Nurses. The fiscal impact would require DCA to build an agency from the ground up and be a huge revenue loss to BRN, not to mention duplication of regulatory services. AB 5 (Gonzalez) Worker Status: Employees and Independent Contractors Board Position: Not Previously Considered Status: Approved by the Governor 9/18/19 This bill codifies the California Supreme Court Dynamex ruling that presumes a worker is an employee unless a hiring entity satisfies a three-factor test known as the “ABC Test”. The bill allows certain occupations the ability to apply the “Borello Test” as specified. The passing of this bill impacts the Board’s Comprehensive Continuing Education Plan, which requires the Board to identify the need for content evaluators and hire these individuals as employees. AB 214 (Kamlager-Dove) Implicit Bias: Continuing Education: Requirements Board Position: Opposed Unless Amended Status: Enrolled/Governor’s Desk 9/11/19 This bill requires the Board to adopt regulations by 1/1/2022, requiring all CE courses to contain curriculum that includes specified instruction in the understanding of implicit bias in treatment. Providers would need to comply with these regulations by 1/1/2023 and the BRN would be required to audit providers for compliance. Coming Attractions At the Board of Registered Nursing New Office of Legislative Affairs Unit Legislation & Regulation Together Led by Chief of Legislation This new unit will oversee the promulgation of legislation and regulation to amplify the mission of the Board. The unit will educate and engage stakeholders and legislators on nursing education and practice throughout California. Combining both Legislation and Regulation together allows for continuity and relevancy of recent laws to keep BRN aligned with current trends and to ensure public protection.

  • State Issues
    Week of January 14, 2019 State Issues Legislative Analyst This week, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its overview of Governor Newsom’s budget proposal for FY Report on State 2019-20 that was presented last week, and saw a new leader selected to lead this non-partisan organization. The Budget Legislature appointed a new state Legislative Analyst to fill the role Mac Taylor has held for 10 years. They named Gabriel Petek to the post, who most recently worked for Standard and Poor’s Global Ratings San Francisco Office where he is currently the state’s primary credit analyst. He takes the reins on February 4. In addition to getting a new chief, the LAO released its overview of the Governor’s January budget highlighting that that state’s budget position continues to be strong. They also focus on the fact that the Governor’s proposed budget prioritizes the repayments of state debts and a great deal of one-time funding. Nearly half of the discretionary spending is earmarked to pay down state liabilities, including unfunded retirement liabilities and budget debts. Twenty-five (25) percent of the discretionary spending is for one time or temporary funding proposals, and 15 percent for discretionary reserves. The LAO applauds the Governor’s decision to focus on the repayment of state debts. The LAO points out one thing that many took note of – the Governor has outlined many priorities for budgetary spending. And at least some of the proposals are not fully fleshed out or reflected in the budget document. The LAO was not critical of this but pointed out that these un-finalized proposals give the Legislature the opportunity to weigh in with the Administration and have their say in its development.

  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).

Over the last decade, thousands of young people from every corner of California have rallied on the Capitol steps in Sacramento, calling on lawmakers to make California schools safer for LGBTQ and straight ally students. “Today dozens of youth from across the state will converge on the Capitol to meet with their representatives and staff to discuss issues that affect them every day. I am inspired to see such dedicated and passionate young adults here advocating for the rights of all members of our community. Whether it is ensuring that youth are able to attend safe and welcoming schools or to ensure that no person is unduly singled out and bullied, it is our collective responsibility to guarantee every student has an opportunity to grow and succeed. Our movement towards equality has been and will continue to be a grassroots effort. And these young adults show us that we are in good hands.
