1884. (19-0027A1)

DECRIMINALIZES PSILOCYBIN MUSHROOMS. AUTHORIZES DISMISSAL OF PRIOR PSILOCYBIN-RELATED CONVICTIONS. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Summary Date: 01/08/20 | Circulation Deadline: 07/06/20 | Signatures Required: 623,212

Failed: 07/24/20

Proponent(s): Ryan Munevar

Decriminalizes under state law the cultivation, manufacture, processing, production of edible products and extracts, distribution, transportation, possession, storage, consumption, and retail sale of psilocybin mushrooms and the hallucinogenic chemical compounds contained in them. Applies to individuals at least 18 years of age, and to individuals under 18 years of age as prescribed by a doctor. Authorizes dismissal, resentencing, and destruction of records for prior psilocybin-related arrests and convictions. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: One-time state and local court and law enforcement costs in the tens of millions of dollars primarily related to the identification and destruction of arrest and conviction records for psilocybin-related crimes. Reduced costs, not likely to exceed a few million dollars annually, to state and local governments related to enforcing psilocybin-related offenses, handling the related criminal cases in the court system, and incarcerating and supervising psilocybin offenders. Annual state costs to regulate psilocybin businesses, ranging from minimal to the tens of millions of dollars. Some or all of these costs could eventually be partially or fully offset by fee revenue. Potential increase in state and local tax revenues, not likely to exceed a couple million dollars annually. (19-0027A1.)

1887. (19-0030A1)

AUTHORIZES STATE REGULATION OF KIDNEY DIALYSIS CLINICS. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Summary Date: 01/21/20 | Circulation Deadline: 07/20/20 | Signatures Required: 623,212

Failed: 8/26/20

Proponent(s): Thomas W. Hiltachk

Requires kidney dialysis clinics to report dialysis-related infection data to state and federal governments; requires Department of Public Health to conform state reporting, form, and schedule requirements to existing requirements under federal law. Requires written notice to State and patients at least 60 days before a clinic’s permanent closure. Prohibits clinics from discriminating against patients based on the source of payment for care. Replicates existing federal law requiring clinics to have a medical director who is a licensed physician. Fiscal Impact: It is the opinion of the Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance that the measure would have no significant fiscal effect on state and local governments. (19-0030A1.)

1888. (19-0031)

PROHIBITS SALE OR REGISTRATION OF GAS-ONLY AND DIESEL-ONLY PASSENGER VEHICLES AND LIGHT TRUCKS MANUFACTURED AFTER 2020. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Summary Date: 01/29/20 | Circulation Deadline: 07/27/20 | Signatures Required: 623,212

Failed: 8/26/20

Proponent(s): John Hankey

Prohibits the sale or registration, in the State of California, of gasoline-only and diesel-only passenger vehicles and light trucks, if such vehicles were manufactured after 2020. Limits the sale or registration of passenger vehicles and light trucks to: (1) vehicles manufactured before 2020; and (2) plug-in hybrid and all-electric vehicles manufactured after 2020. Authorizes the California Air Resources Board to grant reasonable exemptions to sale and registration prohibitions. Fiscal Impact: It is the opinion of the Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance that the measure could result in a substantial net change in state and local finances. (19-0031.)

1889. (19-0032)

REPLACES ALL MEMBERS OF CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD AND REALLOCATES ITS FUNDING IF CERTAIN AIR QUALITY STANDARDS ARE NOT MET. INITIATIVE STATUTE.

Summary Date: 02/10/20 | Circulation Deadline: 08/10/20 | Signatures Required: 623,212

Failed: 8/26/20

Proponent(s): Adolfo Ramos

If certain air quality standards are not met by July 1, 2023, the appointments of all California Air Resources Board members will terminate, twelve new members will be appointed by local air pollution control district boards, and all of the Board’s funds and revenues will be reallocated to local air pollution control districts for programs designed to achieve immediate air quality improvements. Eliminates two nonvoting Board member positions; requires twelve voting members be appointed by local air pollution control districts, rather than by the Governor. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: If certain air quality standards are not met, eliminates all state funding for CARB – $1.4 billion currently – for an unknown period of time; shifts some or all of this funding to local air districts. Potential loss of billions of federal dollars annually for state and local transportation projects for an unknown period of time. (19-0032.)
