GOALS & OBJECTIVES
of the
REAGAN ADMINISTRATION
A preliminary draft based on a series of meetings with
members of the Governor's Cabinet and Staff during the
weeks of October 21 and 28, 1968. Those objectives and
programs which require legislative implementation are now
being matched with bills already proposed by the various
agencies. Where necessary, the proper additional bills
will be drafted and authored in cooperation with the
agencies and the Republican legislative leadership.
Prepared by the
Program Development Unit
11/6/68
FOREWORD
These goals and objectives of the Reagan Administration are
set forth
- to fulfill the promises made by the Governor (both during
his campaign and during his first two years in office)
and also
- to clearly restate the philosophy, concepts and achieve-
ments of his Administration.
In line with the Governor's announced public posture on
vital issues of the day, these goals and objectives (and suggested
action programs) are a commitment to a creative society
a commitment to restore the proper function of government,
a commitment to get on with the essential reformation
of government in California.
Government, we believe, was instituted and exists to serve
the people. In that context, we should design not simply the
least, but also the best government possible. Further, any
design of good government in a free society must be concerned
with the problems of people -- not just the problems of govern-
ment -- lest government become an end unto itself.
This delineation of the goals and objectives of the Reagan
Administration is based on an assessment of the major "people
problems" in California. It is directed toward those things a
government "of and by" the people properly can and should do to
help find solutions to these problems.
Foreword
Page two
The "people problems" fall, generally, into four categories:
ECONOMIC
The day-to-day matter of the citizen's earning a
living and providing for personal and family financial
security and improvement -- and, the proper role of
state government as it relates to taxing, collecting,
and spending a certain amount of the citizen's resources.
SOCIAL
Including the need for reform in such critical areas
as social welfare, health care services and mental
health- and the government's proper concern with the
health and welfare of all citizens (including but
not limited to the indigent, the disabled, the
incapacitated and the needy).
EDUCATION
Relating not only to those years of formal education
(in public and private institutions) but also con-
tinuing education which is becoming more and more
of a necessity in a changing society -- and, the need
for basic reform in priorities, practices, philosophy
and financing of the public education system.
ENVIRONMENTAL (QUALITY OF LIFE)
Relating to the physical environment (pollution abate-
ment, scenic, recreational and cultural enhancement)
as well as public safety, urban strategy ( the crisis
in the cities), and transportation (both inter-urban
and intra-urban)
Foreword
Page three
It is important to keep several points in mird while reviewing
these goals and objectives and the action programs which are
suggested to achieve them:
First, there are, obviously, many inter-actions involved
between the various categories (economic, social, educational
and environmental). Just as each individual lives and exists
in all of these areas to varying degrees, so the different
agencies (departments) and their operations will have an impact
in many, or most, of the areas. This, then, calls for a
realization and a coordination which can increase effective-
ness and also streamline governmental operations, eliminate
duplication of effort, and establish a "synergistic" effort.
An example of this is the direct tie between increased jobs
and job training (economic) and the resultant transfer of
individuals from welfare rolls to payrolls (social). Not
only does this transaction diminish the cost of welfare
(taxpayer), it increases tax revenues, has a relation to law
and order (environmental), etc. This inter-action -- and
this "synergism" -- can be realized in all proper governmental
activities if astutely directed and coordinated.
Second, the desires, the needs, demands and problems in the
four basic goal areas (economic, social, educational and
environmental) must be assessed and approached within the
recognition of a rapidly changing society.
Foreword
Page four
- a society which is becoming more and more affluent
(yet more and more resentful of government's increasing
cost, inefficiency and irresponsiveness)
- a society in which the young and the minorities have
become more aware, more restive, and more volatile
- a society in which large blocs of the young and the
minorities are demanding change and license, yet have
little or no appreciation of, or training in, responsi-
bility.
- a society which is daily witnessing increasing
excellence in many professional and related fields
through the use of advanced technologies and systems --
but which is disturbed by the realization that government
is not utilizing those break-throughs (scientific,
sociological, as example) to increase the responsive-
ness and effectiveness of government and also cut waste,
bureaucracy and cost-burden.
- a society which has made it clear that it wants reform
but says that it has yet to see what it considers to be
real and relevant progress (as contrasted with chaotic
change).
- a society which (for the first time in many years --
and, perhaps, for the first time in the history of the
Foreword
Page five
Republic) faces a very serious threat to the traditional
two-party political system
with all the ramifications
and factional displacements involved, and
- a society which is burdened not only with the cumulative
residue of some 30 years of misconception, miscalculations
and mistakes of collectivist planners and programmers,
but which is, at the same time, being pressed by the
accelerating demands of a changing age
demands
economic, social, educational and environmental which
must be met -- demands which will be met either con-
structively or destructively, depending upon what power
structure in America takes the leadership in these
immediate years.
Frankly, the problem now is not only, or simply which political
party has the ascendancy. The spectre right now focuses on whether
either party can be equal to the challenges pressing down upon
America and California. Given the molasses-and-quicksand nature
of the existing political structure, can either party exert the
leadership required? Can either party martial the public support?
Can it make the changes? Give us the breathing spell essential to
assimilate the forces in motion? Or, come forth with both the
reforms and the innovations essential to survival?
Leadership is a heavy burden: And now, at this point in
history, the leadership of California is an awesome task, a
Foreword
Page six
frightening venture. It is essential that the members of this
Administration recognize the dynamics of the situation: that they
be willing to re-direct the forces already in motion; that they be
capable of accommodating and harnessing the pressures involved,
and that they be equal to the task of guiding California through
perilous times of reformation.
We must. We have promises to keep. We have innovations to
make. We have a rendezvous with the future. Will we succeed?
*
A Creative Agenda Demands New Priorities
To a large degree, Governor Reagan was elected to his first
term because voters believed that he would make a change, a real
difference, in state government
that his administration would
engage in a program of basic reforms.
We must get on with that reform. (Reform is not, of itself,
purely negative; it can be very positive. Reform can involve new
dimensions and new programs at the same time that it discards
debilitating and disproven programs. )
If we are to do the job expected of us by the majority of
Californians, we just establish a new set of program priorities.
We must also reorder those priorities which, by the fact of their
existence, largely dictate the major operations of state govern-
ment and now make reform difficult or impossible. (Ref. chart
on general fund expenditures included in this section.)
For one thing, the Reagan administration inherited -- and, in
some areas, has frankly extended -- the priorities of previous
administrations. We have made important progress in restructuring
administrative techniques. We must make at least the same amount
of progress in revamping the major (spending) programs - welfare,
health care services, public education, to name several.
Second -- and less definite, perhaps, but just as important - -
the manifest changes in today's society are not simply changes in
method or approach (to the same old problems), they are seemingly
A Creative Agenda
Page two
based on a change of priorities in the mind of the public. Res-
ponsive, responsible government is, in large measure, a tempered
mirror of its society. The failure of government to be responsive
to change (in the sense that it is aware of the change and works
to guide and channel it constructively) contributes to the aliena-
tion between government and its society; between an administration
and its constituents. That is what occurred in 1966, when California
suffered from indigestion, mediocrity and irresponsiveness; the
people voted for a change.
Change Require Changes
It is obvious that we cannot build the creative society with-
out changes in government operations. It is also obvious that some
of the necessary changes in one given area cannot be made without
concomitant changes in other areas.
A case in point is the agreed upon need to change our elemen-
tary and secondary educational system -- not just the fiscal structure
(revenue source and allocation) but also the emphasis in program
and budgets. It is generally agreed that we should concentrate more
effort and resources on the lower grades. This has very real
ramifications not only in subsequent education (causes and effects),
but also in welfare, crime prevention, individual productivity
(versus "drop outs" and dependency) and tax-burden.
But, there is just so much money in the pot. We cannot make
adjustments in the field of basic education unless we also make
adjustments in such areas as welfare spending. To oversimplify,
A Creative Agenda
Page three
the question is: do we continue to spend so much of the taxpayers'
money to care for people after they are in trouble, or do we focus
the expenditure of more of our resources on the early years when
we have a better opportunity to break the welfare syndrome? This
is an important decision. It may well require some drastic revisions.
Perhaps this change cannot be accomplished within a two-year span
but we must make a start in that direction now -- and in such a
way that the public understands and applauds our reforms.
Again, within the area of education -- and, again, against
the backdrop of changing priorities in a changing society -- decisions
must be made as to whether we are going to give additional emphasis
(and therefore appropriations) to vocational training technical in-
struction
enabling thousands upon thousands of our young people
to train themselves in those skills which are required for non-
professional but high-paying jobs. Is it a fact, for example, that
a disproportionate amount of today's educational pre-occupation and
education dollar is spent on college and pre-college training?
Many of our young people will never go to college and would actually
be happier, more productive individuals in those technical, skilled
and semi-skilled jobs which are important in a modern society.
If this is so, then perhaps the Reagan administration should
give serious thought to a new concept which would utilize and/or
modify parts of the existing educational structure to provide a
pace-setting system of technical institutes throughout this State.
And so it goes. There are momentous -- imperative - decisions
to be made. What is the proper "mix" between highways and other
A Creative Agenda
Page four
forms of mass transit for our sprawling, urban areas? Should we
accelerate the development of parks and recreational facilities in
urban and suburban areas? Are parks for people or for the Sierra
Club? How can we better marry the power of the free enterprise
system, with its high quality, broad-based medical care programs
with the necessary governmental health care programs? How can we
re-gear and reform our programs to take advantage of breakthroughs
in medical economics, management techniques and electronic tech-
nologies?
All of these, and many more, are the questions facing us
today. All of them demand answers in a creative society. All of
them demand a re-assessment (and in most cases) a restructuring
of priority.
The voters have given us a seeming majority in the Assembly.
We are now on the second plateau -- and, we are on the spot. Now
we must deliver. The voters have acted; the administration must
now get on with the job.

ECONOMIC GOALS
To stimulate a dynamic economic climate in California -- in
concert with the private sector -- and thus expand the derivative
source of government revenues. As more and more Californians are
employed in productive jobs, and as the wages and incomes of our
citizens increase, we are, in fact, widening the tax base and more
equitably distributing the tax burden. (In other words, maintaining
the revenues necessary for legitimate government while spreading
and minimizing the per capita burden of those revenues. )
At the same time, we must unceasingly work to reduce the cost
of state government in every area possible -- in the administration
and also the dimensions of the various programs. (If possible, we
must not only cut-squeeze-and-trim - we must rebate to the people
some of their tax monies. It may be that this should be tied into
tax reform but, be that as it may, this administration should make
every effort between now and spring of 1970 to provide tax relief
for Californians. )

SOCIAL GOALS
Perhaps no other area demands more responsible, penetrating
and immediate reform. The public (even the "liberals") call for
such reform so that the programs become more effective, more res-
ponsive to individual need, more economical and less bureaucratic.
Medical sciences and medical economics are moving rapidly
ahead. Few government agencies (federal or state) are apace with
such progress. This administration must have the courage and the
vision to make the breakthrough.
This administration has the opportunity -- and must proceed --
to make significant reforms and advancements in the entire social
welfare field. This is essential not only because of the heavy, and
almost uncontrolled, drain on the people's resources but also because
present systems are not always reflective of actual problems or
modern techniques.
In the sensitive areas of mental health (the incapacitated and
the retarded) we must take a hard, honest look at what can be done
while moving to restore public confidence. It is in this very
sensitive and human area that the most difficult problems exist --
and it is in this area that we must move with speed, concern and
creativeness.

EDUCATION GOALS
To assert new priorities and revamp the financial structure
of education -- our largest single public investment. We spend
more of our tax dollars for education than for any other public
activity. It is time we face up to the reality that we need a
complete overhaul of the structure of public school financing.
Education should continue to have the highest priority from
government. It is a commitment of the Reagan administration to
spend available dollars first where they will accomplish the most
good -- at the very beginning of the educational experience --
in the early grades. Other important goals include more emphasis
on basic education, acceleration of technical institutes and
regional occupational centers, and upgrading of the entire concept
of continuing education.
We must also take measures to insure that all schools are
safe and orderly -- for the protection of both students and teachers.
We must guarantee safety for our teachers and students and re-
establish an atmosphere conducive to learning; ways to reclaim the
art of teaching must be explored, including merit pay, teacher
classifications, in-service training and the sophisticated use of
electronic and technical aids.

ENVIRONMENT (THE QUALITY OF LIFE)
The physical world in which our citizens live -- the ecological
problems which bug them on a day-to-day basis, physical security
(or absence of security) for themselves, their families and their
homes; the most practical methods and modes of rapid, flexible,
safe, and convenient travel
clean air to breathe, pure and abundant water, parks and
recreational facilities, pleasant physical surroundings
all are parts of the environment, all demand the attention
and application of a creative government in a creative society.
In addition, the problems of the urban areas mount to the
point where they are even now of crisis proportions. It is not
simply a "racial problem" -- even without civil strife, many cities
are incapable of providing adequate law enforcement, adequate waste
disposal and pollution abatement (air, water, solids), adequate
mobility (in terms of the swift, safe, and economical transporta-
tion of people and goods). Since approximately 90 percent of our
total population lives in metropolitan areas, the State government
must be concerned
must move to forestall problems before they
assume the gigantic proportions now pressing on eastern cities and
states.

LABOR
1. Labor Management Improper Practices
Declare the public policy of California to be: that the officers
and agents of a labor organization have a fiduciary obligation
in handling the organization's assets and they shall not acquire
any financial interests which interfere or tend to interfere with
the faithful performance of their responsibility to the labor
organization; that such officers and agents shall account fully to
the members of such labor organization for all assets and financial
transactions; that employers, employer organizations, labor relations
consultants and other persons shall not participate in, or induce,
violation of such fiduciary obligation.
Prohibit officers and agents of labor organizations from having
certain financial interests and engaging in certain transactions.
Prohibits employers, employer organizations, labor relations
consultants and other persons from knowingly participating in or
inducing any conduct or act which would violate the obligations
owed by a labor organization's officer or agent.
Provide for legal and equitable actions for a labor organization or
any of its members for relief to redress a violation of any such
fiduciary obligations; makes employer, employer organization, labor
relations consultant or other person who has induced, or participated
in, any such violation by a labor organization officer or agent
subject to the same liabilities as such officer or agent; attaches
criminal penalties for such violations.
Require labor organizations and employer organizations to file annual
reports with the Director of Industrial Relations showing certain
information, including financial transactions and conditions of such
organization during the fiscal year; requires certain reports to be
filed by employers and labor relations consultants; provides that such
reports are public information, and requires them to be made available
for public inspection.
Require labor organizations, employer organizations, employers and
labor relations consultants to maintain books and records of their
transactions, such books and records to be preserved for a period
of five years; authorizes the director to enforce such accounting
provisions by examining such books and records, issuing subpoenas
for records and witnesses, and to make such investigation as is
necessary; makes violation of such accounting provisions, and certain
other actions relating thereto, a misdemeanor.
Create an advisory council of three members, to be appointed by the
Governor, to inform the Governor and Legislature concerning the
operation, administration, and enforcement of the provisions, with
the power to make recommendations for improvement or revision of the act.
LABOR (Cont.)

connection therewith, promoting or inducing picketing, boycotting,
or any other overt concomitant of a strike, unless the members
thereof who are employed in unit engaging in collective bargaining
with the employer against whom such acts are primarily directed
have voted to call a strike either by a written secret ballot vote
at a meeting, or a written secret mail ballot vote, of a majority
of the members voting thereon.
Provide that no collective bargaining agreement shall be effective
in this state until the employees covered thereby who are members
of the labor organizations who are parties thereto have approved
the agreement either by a written secret ballot vote at a meeting,
or a written secret mail ballot vote, of a majority of the members
voting thereon.
Authorize action for injunction and damages for violation of above
provisions.

of California Police Department and California State College Police
Department.
Specify that law enforcement and police protection services on and
about university and state college properties, other than by regularly
constituted law enforcement agencies, shall be provided only pursuant
to the new provisions.
Provide for appointment by regents and by trustees, respectively,
of peace officer members and supervisors; requires compliance with
standards prescribed by the Commission on Peace Officers Standards
and Training in appointment of law enforcement members.
3. Collection of Nonphysical Evidence
Permit evidence by electronic or mechanical devices to be admissable
in criminal cases providing that a warrant has been obtained by
the court authorizing the use of such equipment.
MEDI-CAL
Eliminate the provision establishing priorities in extending and establishes
a different set of standards in reducing medical assistance within fiscal
limits. Also eliminate provision requiring the Administrator of Health
and Welfare Agency, when reducing services to maintain fiscal limits, to
make proportionate reductions in all services, rather than eliminate some
services entirely.
PORNOGRAPHY
Provide for comprehensive regulation of the sale and distribution of
pornographic material to minors under 18. Specify where circumstances
of production, presentation, sale, dissemination, distribution or
publicity indicate that matter is being commercially exploited for the
sake of its prurient appeal, such evidence is probative with respect to
the nature of the matter and may justify the conclusion that the matter
is utterly without redeeming social importance.
PRE-EMPTION
Specify that a state statute shall not prevail over local regulations except
in the following cases: (1) When the local regulation duplicates general
law. (2) When the local regulation authorizes spmething prohibited by
general law. (3) When the local regulation prohibits something expressly
permitted by general law. (4) When there is a comprehensive scheme of
regulation by general law and that law provides that it has occupied
the entire field of regulation or such law prohibits further regulation
in the field of such regulation.
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE
1. AID FOR MARRIED COUPLES
Provide that the computation of aid for a married couple, both receiving
aid under adult aid programs, shall be on a joint living standard set
by the Department of Social Welfare. Approximately 34,000 couples will
be affected. It will reduce costs in the Old Age Security, Aid to the
Blind, Aid to the Self-Supporting Blind, and Aid to the Needy Disabled
adult aid programs by $9 million, $3.9 million of which would be
General Fund reductions.
2. PROPERTY LIENS
Provide that aid furnished a recipient of public assistance (other
than aid to families with dependent children) shall constitute a
lien on the property of the recipient. Approximately 96,000 adult
recipients own homes. Would produce annual savings of $30.3 million,
$13 million of which constitute savings to the General Fund.
3. RELATIVE RESPONSIBILITY
Make parents of recipients of aid to the totally disabled liable
for the recipient's support to the extent of their ability to
pay when he resides with them. This liability will be taken into
consideration in determining the amount of aid to such recipient.
Extend the relative responsibility concept presently applicable to
the Old Age Security Program to the Aid to Disabled. This will
produce annual savings of $7.9 million, $3.6 million of which
constitutes savings to the General Fund.
4. MAXIMUM WELFARE GRANTS
Limit the maximum amount of the monthly welfare grant paid to any
family to $275. The AFDC program presently provides for grants
ranging from $145 for one needy child to $371 for nine needy children
plus $5 for each additional child. Will result in annual savings
of $24 million, $8.2 million of which constitutes savings to the
General Fund.
TAX RELIEF
Income Tax
Propose adoption of the personal exemption allowed under the federal
income tax law in place of the present tax credit. It will eliminate the
disproportionate income tax increase experienced by large families this year.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
1. Presumptive Limits
Establish presumptive limits relating to alcohol in the blood to be
used in determining whether a driver was under the influence of
intoxicating liquor.
2. Motor Vehicle Inspection
Require the Transportation Agency to develop a motor vehicle inspection
system program designed to eliminate unsafe vehicles from our highways.
3. Traffic Safety Center
Authorize the Transportation Agency to establish and operate a traffic
safety center to study and investigate transportation safety and other
related aspects of transportation.
4. Emergency Medical Care
Require that each ambulance be staffed with two people, both of
whom be fully qualified to administer first aid and fully qualified
as to driving ability.
5.
Traffic Court Administration
Establish a Commission on the Administration of Traffic Courts to
study and appraise operation of traffic courts and administration
of traffic justice.

only in the following cases:

ANALYSIS
This bill is an unrealistic approach and would disrupt existing concepts
concerning which fields the State has precmpted. A better approach is to
specifically state what fields have not been procmpted. For example, the
State has preempted the field of regulating State construction projects and
certain activities of the contractors on such projects. Since the statutes
pertaining thereto do not expressly provide that they have occupied the
entire field of such legislation, each local entity would have power to
regulate such activities if this legislation were enacted.
This bill if enacted, would also interfer with other activities of our
Department, including the location of freeways, inasmuch as local bodies
could pass regulations which could effect such activities.

HEL SUMMARY
Provides computation of aid for a married couple, both receiving aid under the
same or different adult aid programs as defined, shall be on a joint living
standard set by the State Department of Social Welfare, which amount for each
recipient may be less than, but cannot exceed, the amount of aid to which he is
entitled.
ANALYSIS
This bill is part of a program to simolify the payment of public assistance and
tailor it to the way in which people live. Although the basic components of the
standard of assistance for each of the three adult aid programs are somewhat
different, they are not so different that they cannot be placed on the same scale
without causing difficulty or grant reductions.
The main principle of this bill is related to the fact that married couples both
receiving aid are in receipt of income as a couple and not as individuals. This
bill will allow the computation of aid and consideration of income for the couple in the
senie way that the social security benefits are handled.
Approximately 34,000 couples will be affected by this proposal. This proposal
anticipates SOME reduction in the allowances for married couples because of joint
preparation of food and in the areas of recreation, errend services and household
operations
Since this is a DSW bill, it should have primary
Negoncility for the presentation on the litt. NP
FISCAL IMPACT: This will reduce annual costs for the three adult categories by a total
of $9 million, of which $3,900,000 would be reduction in General Fund expenditures.

LL SUMMARY
Eliminates maximum monthly grant scale for aid to families with dependent children
ranging from $145 for one needy child to $371 for nine needy children plus $5 For
each additional child, and establishes maximum monthly grant scale ranging from
$143 for one neody child to $275 for five or more needy children.
Changes base year for cost of living increase for such grants from 1961 to 1968.
ANALYSIS
This bill would coduce the maximum grant ceiling for five or more children to $275
per month. This will impose a grant ceiling approximately equal to the gross
income of a worker employed 40 hours per week at the federal minimum wage of $1.60
per hour.
The principle of the bill is to hold the grant limit within the minimum wage income
limit on the theory that such grant income limit will remove the incentive to
remain on aid instead of taking a job.
The effect of this bill will be to reduce grents by an average of $71 per month per
family for 30% of the families receiving aid because of the unemployment of a
parent. For other family cases, 132% of the families will receive a reduction of
$50 per month.

BILL SUMMARY
Repeals sections of the Medi-Cal law having to do with the method
by which the scope of the Medi-Cal program shall be reduced when
this becomes necessary to keep the program within the limits of
appropriated funds, and adds a new section to set forth a different
method of reducing the program temporarily. The new method will
involve the elimination or postponement of non-essential services
to public assistance recipients while maintaining essential ser-
vices to the medically indigent.
Defines "essential services" in
terms of the Social Security Act.
ANALYSIS
The present statute as interpreted by the Supreme Court necessi-
tates that any reductions in the program to stay within the limit
of appropriated funds be through reduction of fees paid for
physician services or through total elimination of services for
the medically indigent, or both. This system offers certain
disadvantages. Primarily, the removal of the medically indigent
from the program will put them back as a county responsibility
and throw a large additional financial burden on the counties.
In addition, there is no federal sharing for such persons who
are county indigents. The adjustment of physicians' fees is
also difficult due to the fact that federal law provides that
there can be no cutting of fees for hospitals.
28
Potentially substantial savings in that if in a particular year
FISCAL IMPACT the scope of the program must be rather severely adjusted to
stay within the limit of appropriated funds, the adjustments could be made
under this bill in a way which would not cause a loss to California of federal
matching for the medically indigent. However, as the ability to predict the
amount of funds necessary for the Medi-Cal program improves, the necessity for
any action to adjust the program to the amount of funds in mid-fiscal year
would be less.

authorizes the Agency to develop a system of periodic motor vehicle inspections
that are equal to, or more restrictive than, the inspections required by the

of Judicial appointments. Proposes setting up a Commission on Appellate Court Appointmento
and a Commission on Trial Court Appointments to submit names of qualified individuals to the
Covernor for appointment. Prescribes for membership of the Commission. Requires the Governor

Requires the Commissions on Judicial appointments to submit the names of 3 qualified individuals
to the Governor for each appointment with the exception of Superior Court appointments in
counties of over 700,000 population. In these cases 5 names will be submitted.
The change proposed by this constitutional amendment should assure a high level of competence
of individuals appointed to the bench as well as reducing the political influence in Judicial
appointment.

The Judicial Council has proposed a staff of 2 attorneys plus 1 clerical position to support
the Commissions. The first year budget (January 15 to June 30, 1969) is $30,000. See

Bill Summary:
This bill provides for multiple adoptions.
Bill Analysis:
The 1967-68 Budget contains $21.6 million for free textbooks. The amount in this
appropriation fluctuates because the annual needs vary and because of the length
of the adoption period. The costs will drop to $13.3 million in 1969-70, and
increase to $21 million again by 1973, and from that time on will not be less than
$20 million. It is not possible to make a cost estimate on this bill, however, some
general indications can be given.
If the control language in the Budget Act, Item 273, is maintained, and if the
districts request that several books be produced or purchased, the cost would rise
between 15 - 20 percent. This would come about through the loss of economics,
through large scale production at the plant.
This bill, with its constitutional amendment, would not 80 into effect until 1969-70,
after the next general election, if it were approved by the people. I would suspect
that if this issue were put on the ballot, it would be approved on the unproven
assumption that the quality of our educational product will be substantially raised.
The estimated increased cost to the Ceneral Fund at that point would be about $2
Billion for 1969-70, and increasing thereafter.
If the control language of the Budget is eliminated and the school districts 80 on
open market for books, it can be anticipated the cost of the books to the districts
will be of the order of one-third to 80 percent more than those printed at the
State Printing Plant. This is where the $7 - 16 million increase on a program
comparable to 1967-68 comes from.
The Constitutional Revision Commission has not reworked Article IX of the Constitution,
wherein the provisions for textbooks lies. In addition to this, there has been no
comprehensive study of this program in order to determine whether the current proce-
dure is best for California, In this connection, we ought to explore further
Senate Resolution 202 to study the entire situation.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that amendments be considered that will protect the state from
increased cost as a result of this measure.

Bill Summary:
The subject bill amends and renumbers and adds Sections to the Agricultural
Code as proposed by SB 1, and addsChapter 12 (commencing with Section 14980)
to the Government Code, relating to agricultural labor disputes affecting
the public interest.
Analysis:
The bill authorizes the State Board of Agriculture to do the following:
1. Make investigations, conduct hearings and make recommendations
to the Governor concerning agricultural labor disputes affecting
the public interest.
2. Recommend areas of, investigations by, and review the findings
or recommendations of, the Agricultural Conciliation Service:
3. Adopt rules and regulations for the provisions authorizing action
by the board regarding labor disputes and for the Agricultural
Conciliation Service.
It establishes an Agricultural Conciliation Service in the Department of
General Services under the administrative direction and control of Chief
Concilator, who is appointed by the Director of General Services upon
nomination by the State Board of Agriculture.
The Chief Conciliator is authorized to do the following:
1. Employ and fix compensation, in accordance with law, conciliators,
clerks, and other employees as are necessary to carry out the
activities authorized by this bill.
2. Assignment of the conciliator to investigate and mediate labor
disputes, provided any bona fide party requests intervention and,
on recommendation of the State Board of Agriculture, the proffering
of conciliation services to both parties when a work stoppage is
threatened and neither party requests intervention. Further provides
that conciliators shall endeavor to settle disputes concerning the

wages, hours, or other conditions of employment of agricultural
employees, and questions involving representation, by such
means as the parties to the dispute may agree upon, including,
but not limited to, conciliation, mediation, or arbitration.
3. Arbitrate or arrange for the selection of boards of arbitration
on such terms as all bona fide parties to a dispute may agree
upon.
The bill provides that records of the Service relating to disputes are
confidential; provided, however, that any decision or award arising out
of arbitration proceedings may be a public record.
The bill makes no appropriation in support of the Agricultural Conci-
liation Service or does it provide any workload data upon which a cost
estimate may be prepared. Therefore, in order to prepare a cost
estimate, we assumed that the workload would require a minimum of three
positions.
The estimated costs for these positions with related operating expense
and equipment would be approximately $40,000 the first year and with a
possible increase the following year dependent upon the workload. This
cost is detailed as follows:
Personal Services
$34,000

Summary: Adds Chapter 9 (commencing with Section 1150) to Part 3 of Division 2 of
the Labor Code, relating to labor unions.
Analysis: The following four paragraphs constitute emendments to the original measure.
Prohibits a labor organization from engaging in a strike or, in connection therewith,
promoting or inducing picketing, boycotting, or any other overt concomitant of a strike,
unless the members thereof who are employed in unit engaging in collective bargaining
with the employer against whom such acts are primarily directed have voted to call
& strike either by a written secret ballot vote at a meeting, or a written secret mail
ballot vote, of a majority of the members voting thereon.
Provides that no collective bargaining agreement shall be effective in this state until
the employees covered thereby who are members of the labor organizations who are
parties thereto have approved the agreement either by a written secret ballot vote at
a meeting, or a written secret mail ballot vote, of a majority of the members voting
thereon.
Authorizes action for injunction and damages for violation of above provisions.
Defines written secret ballot as the expression by ballot, voting machine, or other-
wise, but in no event by proxy, of a choice in writing with respect to any vote taken
upon any matter, which is cast in such a manner that the person expressing such choice
cannot be identified with the choice expressed.
The proposed measure would result in no visible cost to the Department of Industrial
Relations.
Its enactment, however, might expose state agencies such as the State Conciliation
Service to requests from lebor organizations for technical assistance in the
conduct of internal union elections such as occurred following passage of the
Federal Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959.

Bill Summary:
As anended, this bill would:
1. Dalete requirement for school unification election every two years in
nonunified territory.
2. Allows splitting of high school district then certain conditions are met.
3. Requires Department of Education to include comparative state subventions
and tax rates in thoir advice to the districts.
Analysis:
This bill would schieve the reforms in the district unification program that have been
recommended by the Department of Education (both the State Board and the Superintendent
of Public Instruction). The State has been criticized for being too inflemible in
maintaining the high school district area as the minimum for a now unified district.
Also the rendate for a now election every two years has caused sone needless elections.
The basic changes proposed by the bill are as follows:

Proposed
1. A new election is required every two

predominantly to the prurient interest and is utterly without redeeming
social importance. The bill specifies that preparing, publishing and printing
obscene matter are offenses only if done with the intent to distribute or
exhibit this matter to others, and that exhibiting such matter is an offense
only when the matter is exhibited to others.
The bill specifics that when there has been a prior conviction of any of
certain specified offenses, a new violation is a felony rather than a misde-
meanor.
This bill is a part of the Governor's Crime Package.

Bill Summary:
This bill defines harmful material (morally corruptive or pornographic) and
makes it a misdemeanor to distribute such material to persons under the age
of 18. The bill also creates a presumption of doing so knowingly or recklessly
when a person possesses, prepares, publishes, prints, distributes, or exhibits
such matter in the course of his business. The bill provides safeguards to
distributors against fraudulent misrepresentation of age by persons requesting
material. Any person under 18 years of age who falsely states his age to be
18 for the purpose of obtaining the matter advertised is guilty of a misde-
meanor.
Parents, libraties, scientific and educational purposes are excluded from the
provision of this Act.
The bill will give to the State the power to protect young people against the
dissemination and distribution of material which is harmful or morally
corruptive. This bill is a part of the Governor's Crime Package.
