New California laws for 2015 Pt. 3

(Part 3 of 3)

MATERNITY Leave: State universities may not require female graduate students to take leaves of absence for pregnancies and must allow those who do take leaves to return in good standing.

Military Personnel: Courts may create a diversion program for active military personnel or veterans who commit misdemeanors and are suffering from service-related trauma or drug abuse.

Military Spouses: New law requires that military spouses who are licensed to practice professions in other states be provided a 12-month temporary license to practice in California when their spouses are stationed here.

New State Holiday: New California law establishes Native American Day on the fourth Friday in September.

Paid Sick Leave: New law requires that employees (except caregivers who work in the In-Home Supportive Services program) get up to three paid sick days per year. This law takes effect July 1, 2015 at which time employees accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked and be entitled to accrued sick time after 90 days on the job.

Residential Care Facilities: New law prohibits residential care facilities from retaliating against employees who call 911 when residents need urgent care.

Residential Care: All community care facilities, including child care establishments and residential care homes for the elderly, must have at least one carbon monoxide detector installed. The state may block new admissions to a residential care facility that has been cited for violations posing a risk to the health and safety of residents. Residential care facilities for the elderly must remedy license deficiencies within 10 days of notification.

Same-Sex Couples are allowed to identify themselves on state birth certificates with the new gender-neutral option of “parent” or the conventional “father” or “mother.”

Sexually Explicit Photos: New law allows victims to file suit for damages against anyone who intentionally or recklessly distributes a sexually explicit photograph, video or recording of another person without consent.

Smartphone Kill Switches: New law requires that, effective July 1, 2015, all smartphones sold in California come pre-equipped with theft-deterring technology that enables owners to render the device useless if stolen.

Sterilization: State prisons may not force or coerce inmates to be sterilized unless the inmate’s life is in danger.

Student Data: School districts collecting information on students through social media are limited to data involving student or school safety. Districts must allow parents to review and correct any such information collected.

Student Loan Forgiveness and Resulting Tax Liability: New law specifies that people granted forgiveness of outstanding debt on student loans are not subject to state income taxes on the debt.

Trains: Railroad operators must disclose more information to the state and public about crude oil and other hazardous materials being transported through California. That information includes the volume of material and routes taken.

Truants: Confinement in a juvenile detention facility or juvenile hall is no longer allowed as a penalty for minors who are found in contempt of court solely for failing to obey a judge’s order to attend school.

Veteran Cemetery: State and local officials can begin working to create a new veterans’ cemetery at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Irvine.

  1. I NEVER THINK I WILL SUCCEED IN GETTING A LOAN FROM THE INTERNET Good
    day, My Friends be very careful, I am Mrs Success Fatima an American
    who base in the United Kingdom, i am so confidence to say that one’s
    in my life time i can experience legitimacy in loan company on the
    Internet world, if i was directed by somebody else to this company, i
    wouldn’t have written them because i have been fooled several times by
    online loan firm on the Internet and i decided stay off applying for
    loan online until a time came when i was having financial problem due
    to the predicament i had in my place of work that leads to my sack off
    in my place of work and i have nobody to run to, my credit was very
    low, my rent was approaching it expiring dates and my kids have to
    been in school but due to my ex-sense spending before i got sack off
    from place of work i have nothing solve all this problem. I have no
    other option than to come online looking for online loan firm that
    will help me out of my financial problem and i came across a loan firm
    and i was scammed of 10,500 in my attempt of obtaining a loan from
    them and i almost committed suicide and i ask my self is the end of my
    life because i am a dieing mother of 4 kids to take care of, where
    will i get money to finance their education and pay my bills? all this
    are the questions that kept running inside my mind and became
    frustrated in the process of doing that and a words of encouragement
    came into me instantly saying it is not over yet, keep trying and you
    will definitely got in touch with your helper very soon and i stood up
    and said i will give this a last try and if nothing happens that means
    their is know hope for me any longer. And i went online that very
    moment and i came across a post by one (Mrs Loara Valaffer) saying
    that he has never seen a real loan firm like the MRS LOVETH SMITH LOAN
    COMPANY and instantly i consulted the loan firm by the email which he
    place on the post and in that same day i got response from the manager
    ( Mrs.LOveth Smith ) and he forward to me all the Rules and Regulations
    that is guiding the company which will enable me to obtain the loan
    from them and i ask him how long will it take me to finish the process
    of my loan because i am planning of getting into business after i lost
    my job and he said it will take us one or two weeks if i am fast in
    replying their message. I as him, hope i am not going send any money
    to them because i was told here in my country that i shouldn’t send
    any money in *CENSORED* to get a loan and he replied by saying that it
    surprise him when i said that because their is no loan firm online who
    will render service to a loan seeker without him/her paying anything
    upfront. It sound very hurt to his hearing and he took it as a pain
    and explained everything to me and when i have a rethink about it i
    discovered it was true and that was were those false loan firm took
    advantage in defrauding people of their had earn money and he gave me
    is words that i should go on with them and he will took me by surprise
    that they are truly for real and i went on and apply for a business
    loan of $135,000 for the duration of 23 years and i paid all the
    charges that are needed to be paid and like he said he is going to
    surprise me, that was what he did, it was then i knew that there are
    still real loan company on the internet otherwise i wouldn’t have
    known. here is the consultation address:

  5. Hello Everyone,
    At every point in your life, you’ll need money for one thing or the other:

    starting or expanding your business, paying bills, settling debts, fixing your

    damaged vehicle, paying your rent, and so on. Unless you’re a multi-

    millionaire, you’ll always have one or more expenses waiting to consume every

    penny you earn.

    The reality is that there are times when you just won’t have the money when you

    need it so badly. In such instances, you have a number of options: ask your

    friends and family for assistance, sell some of your assets at giveaway prices,

    or take a loan. If you’re like most people, you would definitely prefer taking

    a loan.
