Title: Projections of Potential Flood Regime Changes In California-Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-050/CEC-500-2009-050-D.PDF

Description: Simulation models are used here to weigh competing influences that might either increase or diminish future floods. Future characteristics of major storms, in particular pineapple express or atmospheric river storms, by global climate models indicated changes mostly at the extremes. Likewise, although the average intensity of storms was not projected to increase much in most climate models, occasional much-larger-than-historical-range storm intensities were simulated.

Title: 2009-10 Budget Analysis Series: Criminal Justice Realignment

URL: http://www.lao.ca.gov/2009/crim/Realignment_012709/Realignment_012709.pdf

Description: The state's efforts to rehabilitate juvenile and drug-addicted adult offenders have been largely ineffective despite substantial spending. In response, the Legislature has proposed shifting $1.4 billion of state responsibilities to counties, giving them more autonomy to manage programs for juvenile offenders and drug-addicted adults. The suggested financing plan involves increasing the vehicle license fee rate to 1 percent, generating $1.1 billion in revenue, and redirecting $359 million of existing VLF revenues, ultimately serving as an ongoing budget solution.

URL: http://www.lao.ca.gov/2009/stadm/cash_flow/cash_flow_011409.pdf

Description: In 2008‑09, weakening revenues and limited access to the credit markets reduced the California's resources to address monthly cash flow deficits. As a result, the state’s “cash cushion”—its available liquidity to allow the General Fund to make all budgeted payments on time—became unacceptably low. This report outlines the differences and similarities between the budget and cash flow situations, and makes recommendations for corrective actions to address the crisis.

URL: https://sooo.senate.ca.gov/sites/sooo.senate.ca.gov/files/Good%20Deeds.CALHFA%20report.pdf

Description: October 24, 2011 - A Report Prepared for the California Senate Rules Committee - The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), amid a housing slump, took a strict line against borrowers renting out their homes, even foreclosing on those who continued paying their mortgages.

URL: https://sooo.senate.ca.gov/sites/sooo.senate.ca.gov/files/a%20courtroom%20unlike%20any%20other.pdf

Description: June 1, 2011 - A report prepared for the California Senate Rules Committee. In Santa Clara County, Judge Stephen Manley oversaw the Parolee Reentry Court, a program that offered high-risk offenders a chance to avoid returning to state prison for parole violations. The program aimed to reduce recidivism rates, which in California were the highest in the nation. Established under Senate Bill x3 18 in 2009, this pilot program operated in six counties, including Santa Clara. By shifting responsibility for parole violations to local jurisdictions, Governor Jerry Brown's administration hoped to reform public safety in California.

Title: 2009 - Worker's Compensation: Recent Decisions Likely to Increase Benefits and Employer Costs

URL: https://www.lao.ca.gov/2009/workers_comp/workers_comp_costs_101609.pdf

Description: October 16, 2009 - California's workers' compensation system provides benefits to injured workers. In 2004, changes were made to measure permanent disability (PD) more consistently, reducing benefits for many. Workers argued this was unfair. In 2009, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) allowed PD measurements to be challenged based on specific cases. This could lead to more changes, lawsuits, and costs, but also higher benefits for workers. The report recommends that the Legislature either let courts handle these disputes or change the law to clarify when PD measurements can be challenged or adjust PD compensation to ensure more uniformity.
