    California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-And

    California Proposition 70, Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment (June 2018) California Proposition 70: Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and- Trade Revenue Amendment Election date June 5, 2018 Topic State and local government budgets, spending and finance and Energy Status On the ballot Type Origin Constitutional State amendment legislature California Proposition 70, the Vote Requirement to Use Cap-and-Trade Revenue Amendment, is on the ballotin California as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on June 5, 2018.[1] A "yes" vote supports this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the state legislature in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program for greenhouse gases. A "no" vote opposes this amendment to require a one-time two-thirds vote in each legislative chamber in 2024 or thereafter to pass a spending plan for revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program. Overview What would Proposition 70 require? Proposition 70 would require a one-time two-thirds vote in each chamber of the California State Legislature to use revenue from the State Air Resources Board's auctioning or sale of greenhouse gas emissions allowances under the state's cap-and- trade program. To make sure no revenue is spent without the two-thirds vote, the measure would place all revenue from the cap-and-trade program in a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Reserve Fund beginning on January 1, 2024. The vote would take place anytime on or after January 1, 2024. Revenue would collect in this reserve fund until the one-time two-thirds vote occurred.

    September 14, 2016 To: Senator Kevin De Leon, President Pro

    September 14, 2016 To: Senator Kevin De Leon, President pro Tempore, California State Senate Senator Jean Fuller, Republican Leader, California State Senate Assembly Member Anthony Rendon, Speaker, California State Assembly Assembly Member Chad Mayes, Republican Leader, California State Assembly cc: Governor Jerry Brown The 2015-16 Biennial Session of the Legislature has come and gone. This past year, legislators have acted on health reform, addressed issues of poverty and assistance for the developmentally disabled community and moved forward to increase the state’s minimum wage. A balanced budget was approved and substantial dollars set aside for a rainy day fund. Greenhouse Gas Emission targets and overtime pay for farmworkers were the latest issues that were tackled. We appreciate these significant 2016 accomplishments. However, the Legislature has yet to respond to one of our state’s most important issues, California’s transportation fiscal crisis. Every year for the past two legislative sessions, transportation advocates, stakeholders and the general public have worked to find a solution to this crisis and each year the problem has gone unresolved. Just before the Legislature adjourned, business leaders from across the state joined other transportation stakeholders in Sacramento to hear from Legislators and Administration officials regarding the status of legislation on transportation funding and reform. What we were told was not good news. While there are some leaders willing to talk about the crisis and even offer solutions, consensus has been stymied by differences of opinion and no real engagement among the principal parties. Everyone in California seems to recognize that our transportation system is in terrible shape and the cost of repairs are going up each year.

    Robert Menendez 1954–

    H CURRENT HISPANIC-AMERICAN MEMBERS H Robert Menendez 1954– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 1993–2006 UNITED STATES SENATOR 2006– DEMOCRAT FROM NEW JERSEY The son of Cuban immigrants with a keen mind for foreign policy, Robert Menendez rose steadily through the world of New Jersey politics to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a United States Senator. “I have walked in the shoes of the average New Jerseyan all of my life,” Menendez said in 2005, “and I know the challenges they face.”1 Image courtesy of the Member Robert Menendez was born on January 1, 1954, in New York City, one of three children born to Mario, a carpenter, and Evangelina Menendez, a seamstress. The couple emigrated from Havana, Cuba, to New York, eventually settling across the Hudson River in Union City, New Jersey. Menendez graduated from Union Hill High School in 1972 and went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in political science from St. Peter’s College in Jersey City in 1976. Three years later, he was awarded a J.D. from Rutgers University’s School of Law in Newark. Menendez is divorced, with two children, Alicia and Robert, Jr. Menendez became involved in community issues early on, and in college he won a spot on the Union City Board of Education. He served on the school board from 1974 to 1978, and once he completed his law degree, he took a job with Union City’s mayor. After racketeering charges were leveled against his boss, Menendez ran for mayor in 1982 but lost to his embattled mentor.

  • The Essential Guide to California Legislation

    The Essential Guide to California Legislation

    THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO CALIFORNIA LEGISLATION politicopro.com/california TABLE OF CONTENTS 03 Introduction 04 How Legislation is Passed 08 Legislative Glossary 2 Over the course of a year, hundreds of bills are enacted into California state law⁠— but initial legislation proposed by lawmakers in the Assembly and Senate can number in the thousands. With California’s bicameral legislative process consisting of two houses, bills can originate from either the Assembly or Senate. With so much proposed legislation flowing through the standard processes in both houses, tracking bills can become difficult and time-consuming. Our guide breaks down each step of the legislation proposal process in the Assembly and Senate, the steps that can result in changes to the legislation before it becomes law, as well as how the two houses resolve legislative differences. WHO MAKES UP THE CALIFORNIA ASSEMBLY AND SENATE? The California State Assembly is comprised of 80 members, each elected to serve two-year terms. Assembly members are only allowed to serve a lifetime maximum of six years or three terms. The California State Senate has 40 members, each elected to serve a four-year term. A senator can serve a maximum of two terms or eight years. 3 HOW LEGISLATION IS PASSED In California, the process by which bills are considered, passed and enacted into law is commonly referred to as the legislative pro- cess. California legislature can originate in either the Assembly or the Senate, and a legislative calendar tracks the introduction and processing of measures during a regular two-year session.

    Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jason Corburn, Chair Professor Malo Hutson Professor David Winickoff Spring 2015 Abstract Climate Change from the Streets: A Community-Based Framework for Addressing Local and Global Environmental Health Impacts by Michael Anthony Mendez Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning and the Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Jason Corburn, Chair This dissertation analyzes the emerging epistemologies of climate change in California as articulated by social movements, experts, and subnational governments. As the world’s eighth- largest economy and the only state in the U.S. to implement a comprehensive program of regulatory and market-based mechanisms to achieve reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, California represents an important site of inquiry. The passage of Assembly Bill 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 has made the state a global leader on climate change science and policy innovation. While no subnational government can halt climate change alone, California’s environmental policies have a long history of success and replication. Through an extensive analysis of the state’s climate policies and interviews with key stakeholders, this dissertation highlights the challenges California faces in influencing global climate policy while addressing the needs of local communities that are already adversely impacted by air pollution.
