The amendment passed the Senate Governance and Finance Committee on a 70 vote. Representatives of local agencies told the panel they are concerned about the potential costs of complying with state public records requirements that could be expanded in the future. Those requirements do not apply to the Legislature, which is subject to a different set of open records rules, said Dan Carrigg of the League of California Cities. ''If this is good for local government, then it ought to be good for the Legislature,'' Carrigg said. ''We ought to have a similar standard.'' The legislation, SCA3, was written in response to a media outcry over changes that loosened requirements on how local governments handle requests for public information. The changes were approved as part of the state budget to save millions of dollars in reimbursement payments to those agencies. Lawmakers later voted to reverse the changes and maintain the current rules for records requests, including a provision giving agencies 10 days to respond. The replacement bill passed the Senate on Monday after clearing the Assembly last week. But without further action, the state remains potentially liable for ongoing costs accrued by cities, counties and school districts as they respond to requests for documents.

I-5 was not closed during the incident and traffic backup was moderate with drivers slowing as they neared the crash. — Julie Zeeb The Tehama County Board of Supervisors reversed its stance Tuesday regarding a senate bill that provides funding for broadband expansion across the state after amendments decreased the funding and changed descriptive words about what projects would be eligible. Senate Bill 740 would expand the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) through 2020, providing funding for the ongoing efforts to expand broadband service availability across rural communities. The bill would also expand how the money is imple- mented by extending the funding to local government agencies. In March the board sent a letter supporting the bill to its sponsor, State Sen. Alex Padilla, the chairman of the Senate's Standing Committee on Energy Utilities and Communications. However on Tuesday the board authorized a letter be sent to Padilla changing its support of the bill citing recent changes in the bill's language. The board will not support the bill if it stands as amended.
