Bill would enforce farm labor SACRAMENTO (AP) — The state Senate has approved legislation changing the ground rules for negotiations between farmers and fieldworkers by giving state regulators more authority to act. The bill lets the Agricultural Labor Relations Board require binding mediation between the employer and union even if one side is appealing an unfair labor practice decision in court. It also keeps farm contracts in place if the agribusiness restructures its ownership. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg says his SB25 would affect about a half-dozen of California's 86,000 farms. Small farms would be exempt. The Sacramento Democrat says some owners are exploiting a loophole in a decade-old farm labor law to delay enacting contracts with unionized farm workers. The bill passed 23-10 on Monday over Republican objections and goes to the Assembly. California GOP activist ousted after rape comments SACRAMENTO (AP) — The leader of a conservative faction within the California Republican Party has been ousted after dismissing pregnancy as a risk from rape in comments earlier this year. The San Jose Mercury News reports (http://bit.ly/12JwJYC) the California Republican Assembly voted to unseat Celeste Greig as president in an 84-78 vote at its convention. She was replaced by John Briscoe, a 63-year-old accountant from Fountain Valley. In March Greig stirred controversy after telling the Mercury News that pregnancies by rape are rare because a woman's body is traumatized by the violence, recalling remarks that derailed Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin's campaign last year. Bill would allow faster HIV testing for infants SACRAMENTO (AP) — Infants in California's child welfare system could be tested and treated sooner for HIV under a bill that has passed the state Assembly. A measure from Democratic Assemblywoman Holly Mitchell of Los Angeles would allow social workers to request an HIV test for a child who is under court guardianship and is less than 1 year old. Social workers now must get permission from a court to have an HIV test administered. Supporters of AB506 say gaining that permission can take months, delaying medical treatment.

The state also is alone in not having a system for regulating growers and sellers. Marijuana advocates had argued that allowing local governments to bar dispensaries thwarts the intent of the medical marijuana law that voter's passed nearly 17 years ago. On Monday, they blamed the absence of state oversight and the failure of local authorities to adopt operating guide- employees or pay a fine as part of so-called "Pay or Play" provisions. The penalty for failure to offer coverage to at least 95 percent of fulltime employees and their dependents is $2,000 per year multiplied by the total number of employees minus 30.

''Today's decision allowing localities to ban will likely lead to reduced patient access in California unless the state finally steps up to provide regulatory oversight and guidance,'' said Tamar Todd, senior staff attorney for the Drug Policy Alliance. ''Localities will stop enacting bans once the state has stepped up and assumed its responsibility to regulate.'' Two bills are pending in the California Legislature that seek to establish a new statewide system for regulating and licensing the medical marijuana industry, and to clarify the role of dispensaries in it.

Activists also are in the early stages of planning a ballot initiative that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana and regulate it like alcohol, as voters in Washington and Colorado did last year. Although the number of dispensaries in California is estimated to have totaled well over 1,000 a few years ago, the local bans and a coordinated crackdown that the state's four federal prosecutors launched in October 2011 have cut their numbers significantly. Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, and the U.S. attorneys have threatened to seize the property of landlords who lease space to the shops. Hundreds of dispensary operators have since been evicted or closed voluntarily. Riverside city lawmakers used their zoning authority to declare storefront pot shops as public nuisances and ban the operations in 2010. The Inland Empire Patient's Health and Wellness Center, part of the explosion of retail medical marijuana outlets, sued to stop the city from shutting it down. A number of counties and cities were awaiting the Supreme Court ruling before moving forward with bans of their own. Brown mystified at continuing prison legal case SACRAMENTO (AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday defended his combative approach to the federal court case over California's prison system by saying the state has undergone an ''incredible transformation'' since the courts took over the inmate health care system. The state filed its plan last week to further reduce the prison population by another 7,000 inmates, but that plan still falls 2,300 inmates short of the court-mandated target. Federal judges have said Brown could be held in contempt if his administration does not comply with its orders. He has vowed to appeal their inmate-reduction target because he says inmate medical care meets constitutional standards. The governor said California has spent billions on prison construction and hiring medical staff in recent years, while a court-appointed federal receiver has been running the health care system. The state used to spend about $7,000 per inmate on health care but now spends about $15,000 per inmate. ''We have an incredible transformation, and for some reason people say, 'Gee, nothing happened,''' Brown said after a peace officers' memorial ceremony near the Capitol. He added, ''I find it rather mystifying why we're in this predicament.'' His comments to The Associated Press were his first on the topic since his administration filed its inmate-reduction plan last week. The governor said he is presenting his case in a respectful way but also said the state has a right to appeal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Under the court order, the state must reduce the population in its 33 adult prisons to about 110,000 inmates by year's end to improve the treatment of sick and mentally ill inmates. The courts previously ruled that inmate medical and mental health care was so poor that it violated constitutional standards for cruel and unusual punishment, and that prison overcrowding was the leading cause. If the governor's appeal does reach the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court, its outcome is far from certain. In May 2011, the high court sided with the fed- The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs.
