To qualify for fast-track treatment, new multifamily housing developments will have to meet current zoning standards, set aside a certain share of below-market units and pay their workers union wages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How many developers will be willing to tick those boxes is unclear, but proponents call streamlining a necessary measure to bypass NIMBY obstructionism. Many cities call it a usurpation of local authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB167\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> will make it harder for cities to deny new housing projects if they otherwise comply with local rules, and will raise the penalty for municipalities that wrongly do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Berkeley did not officially adopt a position on either bill while lawmakers were considering them. But a local response is now in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arreguín said he is developing a Berkeley-specific streamlining process that would be available to developers in addition to the new state process. His alternative is still in its early stages, but the mayor hopes it will steer developers toward low- and moderate-income projects and those providing additional community benefits that are still undefined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s planning commission is also working on tighter zoning laws that would feature new density requirements and design standards while staying in tune with state law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we set local requirements that still give the city some flexibility in shaping -- not denying -- but shaping projects, we can ensure compliance with [new laws] and still maintain some degree of control,” Arreguín said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar conversation is taking place across San Francisco Bay in Corte Madera, a small town in Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since the town approved a 180-unit apartment complex along Highway 101 over the vociferous objections of some community members, Vice Mayor Carla Condon said the town is looking for less obtrusive ways to expand the housing stock. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Corte Madera is one city trying to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620075\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corte Madera is one city trying to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One option the town is considering is to waive fees and loosen regulations on secondary dwellings, those fashioned within or near a main home.

But for now, Condon says, Corte Madera is producing more housing than the state requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Berkeley and Corte Madera try to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests, other cities are considering blunter instruments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Redondo Beach placed a 10-and-a-half month-long moratorium on new mixed-use development projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Nils Nehrenheim, a city council member and local slow-growth activist, the ban has been in the works for years but now comes in the nick of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thankfully, we’re starting this this month,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney’s office and the Department of Community Development are looking into how the various housing bills would affect planning decisions. The goal, Nehrenheim said, is “to learn if we can mitigate some of these issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City leaders have also discussed pushing back against the state’s housing-production targets, though it isn’t yet clear how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have to start having more conversations with state legislators” about adjusting those targets, said Nehrenheim. “We’re all very concerned about the loss of local control -- no matter what side of the issue you stand on in terms of development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local lawmakers often face tremendous pressure to block, stall or renegotiate unpopular projects. Soon they won’t have as much power to respond to that pressure -- but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, said Aaron Gomez, who sits on the City Council in San Luis Obispo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions about land use inevitably leave some constituents unhappy. Mandatory streamlining may allow local lawmakers to blame the state if faced with angry voters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do like the political cover of that,” Gomez said. “It just limits that conversation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have quietly stomached any threat to their authority over planning as the price of the help they need. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philosophically, we don’t want the state to necessarily be encroaching on this part of the work that we do as a city,” said Jacky Morales-Ferrand, director of housing for the city of San Jose. But, she said, the city “wanted to create a path forward for some of those signature housing bills that we’ve been waiting on for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among them is \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1505\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one\u003c/a> that will effectively reverse a 2009 California court \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1077003.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decision\u003c/a> that barred cities from forcing rental-property developers to offer a certain number of new units at below-market rates. Cities across the Bay Area, in Los Angeles and even in rural communities such as Tuolumne County are all now dusting off and re-examining their old inclusionary-housing ordinances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales-Ferrand said she hopes the city will “turn on” the policy as soon as Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

To qualify for fast-track treatment, new multifamily housing developments will have to meet current zoning standards, set aside a certain share of below-market units and pay their workers union wages. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How many developers will be willing to tick those boxes is unclear, but proponents call streamlining a necessary measure to bypass NIMBY obstructionism. Many cities call it a usurpation of local authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB167\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> will make it harder for cities to deny new housing projects if they otherwise comply with local rules, and will raise the penalty for municipalities that wrongly do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city of Berkeley did not officially adopt a position on either bill while lawmakers were considering them.

His alternative is still in its early stages, but the mayor hopes it will steer developers toward low- and moderate-income projects and those providing additional community benefits that are still undefined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s planning commission is also working on tighter zoning laws that would feature new density requirements and design standards while staying in tune with state law. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we set local requirements that still give the city some flexibility in shaping -- not denying -- but shaping projects, we can ensure compliance with [new laws] and still maintain some degree of control,” Arreguín said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar conversation is taking place across San Francisco Bay in Corte Madera, a small town in Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ever since the town approved a 180-unit apartment complex along Highway 101 over the vociferous objections of some community members, Vice Mayor Carla Condon said the town is looking for less obtrusive ways to expand the housing stock. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11620075\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Corte Madera is one city trying to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11620075\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-960x641.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/CorteMadera-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Corte Madera is one city trying to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One option the town is considering is to waive fees and loosen regulations on secondary dwellings, those fashioned within or near a main home.

But for now, Condon says, Corte Madera is producing more housing than the state requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Berkeley and Corte Madera try to thread the needle between new state mandates and local interests, other cities are considering blunter instruments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, Redondo Beach placed a 10-and-a-half month-long moratorium on new mixed-use development projects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Nils Nehrenheim, a city council member and local slow-growth activist, the ban has been in the works for years but now comes in the nick of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thankfully, we’re starting this this month,” he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city attorney’s office and the Department of Community Development are looking into how the various housing bills would affect planning decisions. The goal, Nehrenheim said, is “to learn if we can mitigate some of these issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City leaders have also discussed pushing back against the state’s housing-production targets, though it isn’t yet clear how.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have to start having more conversations with state legislators” about adjusting those targets, said Nehrenheim. “We’re all very concerned about the loss of local control -- no matter what side of the issue you stand on in terms of development.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local lawmakers often face tremendous pressure to block, stall or renegotiate unpopular projects. Soon they won’t have as much power to respond to that pressure -- but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, said Aaron Gomez, who sits on the City Council in San Luis Obispo. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decisions about land use inevitably leave some constituents unhappy. Mandatory streamlining may allow local lawmakers to blame the state if faced with angry voters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do like the political cover of that,” Gomez said. “It just limits that conversation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others have quietly stomached any threat to their authority over planning as the price of the help they need. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Philosophically, we don’t want the state to necessarily be encroaching on this part of the work that we do as a city,” said Jacky Morales-Ferrand, director of housing for the city of San Jose. But, she said, the city “wanted to create a path forward for some of those signature housing bills that we’ve been waiting on for a long time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chief among them is \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1505\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one\u003c/a> that will effectively reverse a 2009 California court \u003ca href=\"http://caselaw.findlaw.com/ca-court-of-appeal/1077003.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decision\u003c/a> that barred cities from forcing rental-property developers to offer a certain number of new units at below-market rates. Cities across the Bay Area, in Los Angeles and even in rural communities such as Tuolumne County are all now dusting off and re-examining their old inclusionary-housing ordinances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morales-Ferrand said she hopes the city will “turn on” the policy as soon as Jan. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

We’ve got everything. We’re just waiting for the land,” said activist Anita de Asis, known as “Needa Bee.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a report, city staff said a community-run site would not have the same social services that are needed to get people into permanent housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s just untrue,” said de Asis. “If you look at the program design, you’ll see that we’ll have all sorts of services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The committee also wants staff to move quickly to secure land needed for the city-run housing navigation site that’s called “Safe Haven.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The council allocated $450,000 in the latest budget to run a single Safe Haven site for two years.

In crowded homeless communities -- many of which lack public restrooms and sinks -- the virus is often spread through such person‐to‐person contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can also spread through sexual contact with an infected person, according to the CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the California counties now grappling with outbreaks, slowing the spread isn’t easy. The long incubation period of the virus -- between 15 to 50 days -- and the transient nature of the homeless population make it challenging for public health agencies to find, educate and vaccinate people after an outbreak begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, the California Department of Public Health said it has no protocol to guide cities and counties on how best to deal with outbreaks associated with poor or limited sanitation, because those routes of transmission are “very rare” in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state said it it's working on gathering information from the CDC, and is working with the San Diego public health authorities to identify effective strategies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wooten said San Diego is using a variety of approaches to stem the spread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This outbreak has really resulted in us needing to be creative,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One approach: pairing public health workers with homeless outreach teams who have long‐established ties to those living on the streets, in the canyons and in the wildlands of San Diego County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_361172\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-361172\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2017/09/SD-homeless-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Larissa Wimberly, supervisor of outreach for the nonprofit Alpha Project in San Diego County, at a homeless encampment along a riverbed in National City. \u003ccite>(Alan Horowitch)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We go into the canyons, we go everywhere,” said Amy Gonyeau, chief operating officer for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.alphaproject.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alpha Project\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that provides homeless services. “We go out every day. We have our own vehicles and vans … we educate people on what’s going on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a recent morning, an Alpha Project team delivered hygiene kits -- consisting of soap, hand sanitizer and other toiletries packaged in a large plastic bag -- to a crowded encampment in downtown San Diego’s East Village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It looks like a war zone,” said Alpha Project's outreach supervisor, Larissa Wimberly. “There’s people out here with HIV, people out here with cancer, there’s people out here with heart issues. There are people who are just old and feeble and they’re not eating right. It’s really sad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tents and shopping carts crowded the sidewalks in this section of downtown, one largely hidden from the city’s tourists and residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wimberly explained that many who live here relieve themselves among the tents and carts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s everywhere,” she said of the human excrement. “It’s just really bad right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So bad that the city -- under the direction of the county health department -- has begun power-washing heavily soiled sections of downtown sidewalks and streets with a bleach solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That follows the installation, earlier this month, of about 40 portable hand‐washing stations throughout the downtown areas hardest hit by the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the county’s public health workers have been coming to the encampments to offer the hepatitis A vaccinations to the homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie, a 42‐year‐old homeless woman, was among the victims of the virus. She asked that her last name not be used.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie said she's been camping out on San Diego’s streets for five years and became ill last spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was awful,” she said. “My skin was yellow, my pee -- my urine -- it looked like chocolate milk. And everything just hurt. I was achy all the time and tired. I couldn’t sleep enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie was hospitalized and it took more than two months for her to fully recover, but she said she’s grateful to have escaped with her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have criticized the more than two-month delay between the county announcing plans for hand-washing stations in downtown areas where the homeless live, and their eventual installation earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Since that announcement, 11 people are dead and the number of hepatitis A cases has more than doubled,” the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board wrote on Sept. 1. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Well you know, we can’t just roll them out because we don’t have jurisdiction over city property,” Wooten said of the sinks installed in downtown. “So we had to work through that process.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wooten said the county made a decision to first test a few sinks in a small pilot program, and that was necessary. “We wanted to see if people would use them,” she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego, too, denied any unnecessary delays in handling the outbreak and is now working to expand the number of available public restrooms downtown, said Katie Keach, spokeswoman for the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Countywide, nearly 23,000 people have received vaccinations against the virus, including about a third who are homeless or use illegal drugs. Vaccination is considered the key line of defense against hepatitis A -- normally a mild illness that can become severe in those who are already suffering from other health problems, Wooten said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends all children receive the two-part hepatitis A vaccine at 1 year of age. But California and most other states \u003ca href=\"https://www2a.cdc.gov/nip/schoolsurv/schImmRqmtReport.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">do not include\u003c/a> it in the required vaccinations for children entering kindergarten. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In crowded homeless communities -- many of which lack public restrooms and sinks -- the virus is often spread through such person‐to‐person contact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It can also spread through sexual contact with an infected person, according to the CDC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the California counties now grappling with outbreaks, slowing the spread isn’t easy.

There are people who are just old and feeble and they’re not eating right.

And everything just hurt. I was achy all the time and tired. I couldn’t sleep enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leslie was hospitalized and it took more than two months for her to fully recover, but she said she’s grateful to have escaped with her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have criticized the more than two-month delay between the county announcing plans for hand-washing stations in downtown areas where the homeless live, and their eventual installation earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Since that announcement, 11 people are dead and the number of hepatitis A cases has more than doubled,” the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board wrote on Sept. 1. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Well you know, we can’t just roll them out because we don’t have jurisdiction over city property,” Wooten said of the sinks installed in downtown. “So we had to work through that process.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wooten said the county made a decision to first test a few sinks in a small pilot program, and that was necessary. “We wanted to see if people would use them,” she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego, too, denied any unnecessary delays in handling the outbreak and is now working to expand the number of available public restrooms downtown, said Katie Keach, spokeswoman for the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Countywide, nearly 23,000 people have received vaccinations against the virus, including about a third who are homeless or use illegal drugs. Vaccination is considered the key line of defense against hepatitis A -- normally a mild illness that can become severe in those who are already suffering from other health problems, Wooten said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And I don’t mean to be dark, but I’m coming up on that last domino,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the flood, there was an outpouring. People gave money and landlords offered temporary housing. In partnership with the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, San Jose was able to distribute $6.9 million to nonprofit relief organizations, which in turn assisted families in getting back on their feet.

Many are enrolled in history or civics classes, and unlike some college freshmen, they don’t have to vote as absentees from other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics pointed out that California has already settled on 18 as an age of responsibility for other thresholds, such as getting married and entering into contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This schizophrenic lawmaking does not make any sense,” said Assemblyman Matthew Harper (R-Huntington Beach).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lengthy floor debate on the idea saw several members call on personal experience to inform their decision on the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) indicated that the thought of her own 17-year-old child was enough to make her vote against the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher said Melendez doesn’t speak for all mothers in the Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve had a 17-year-old who, unlike other people on this floor, I actually would very much trust to vote,” she responded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low’s office says he plans to bring the measure back on a reconsideration vote later this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 2 p.m., Tuesday: Assembly OKs Parental Leave Law Extension\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The State Assembly has passed legislation to expand parental leave law to cover California businesses with between 20 and 50 employees. Other states including New York, Oregon and Washington have protections similar to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB63\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate Bill 63\u003c/a>, which guarantees a worker’s employment upon return from leave but does not provide pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Moms are only trying to bring their baby into the world and stay home for a certain amount of time,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, D-San Diego. “We need to catch up to the rest of the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure passed on a 45-12 vote, with five Republicans voting in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier version of SB 63 \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/05/30/california-senate-votes-to-expand-parental-leave-law/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed the state Senate in May\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, Santa Barbara Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson pushed for a similar expansion of the state’s current law, which only applies to businesses with more than 50 employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That bill was vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown, who was concerned that small businesses couldn’t afford to defend potential lawsuits brought by workers who could claim that they were not given proper pay or returned to a similar position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negotiations with the governor’s office this year resulted in the creation of a proposed mediation pilot program, in which disputes can be heard before they end up in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That amendment — added to the bill last week — was not enough to stave off opposition from the measure’s most powerful opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://blob.capitoltrack.com/17blobs/8f89c461-defa-4c50-8d28-b6858546bf3d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Chamber of Commerce\u003c/a> says the mediation program is toothless, because an employee has the option of terminating the process and heading straight to court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
