The open-government group Californians Aware said it received a ruling in the mail by Stanislaus Coun- ty Superior Court Judge Roger Beauchesne ordering California State University, Stanislaus to release Palin’s contract along with any documents related to the use of university property or services during her June 25 visit. The judge determined the university’s failure to pro- duce the requested documents constituted a violation of its obligations under the California Public Records Act, CalAware said in a news release. ‘‘This ruling upholds California citizens’ right to maintain oversight and control of their government,’’ CalAware said. CSU spokeswoman Claudia Keith said Wednesday the university had not yet seen the ruling. ‘‘If it is as it has been relayed to me, it’s certainly perplexing how the judge could come to that decision,’’ she said. ‘‘But if that’s what it says, we would abide by that.’’ CalAware filed a lawsuit in April after CSU Stanis- laus refused to disclose the details of Palin’s contract. The university has said negotiations with Palin were handled by its nonprofit foundation, which is not sub- ject to the same public records requirements that apply to California’s higher education institutions. In July, the foundation revealed it had paid the for- mer Alaska governor $75,000 for her 40-minute speech. State Sen. Leland Yee, who has been an outspoken critic of CSU Stanislaus, said reports of Beauchesne’s ruling were welcome news. ‘‘This is a great day for transparency and accountabil- ity, but also a sad day for the university,’’ the San Fran- cisco Democrat said. ‘‘I hope this case is a lesson now for every single university campus that there is a Cali- fornia Public Records Act that you are responsible for.’’ Rodrigo Estrado Carreno, 28, Arnel Lopez, 34, Janir Murillo Hernandez, 30, and Abraham Hernandez Murillo, 36. • Three pounds of processed marijuana and a shotgun with pistol grip were recovered around 2 a.m. Saturday after the USFS made an enforce- ment stop on a vehicle, according to the release.

STATE BRIEFING Sen. Mark Leno’s bill, after log slips FORTUNA (AP) — Authorities say a Northern California logger was killed after a Redwood log broke loose from a cable and rolled over him. Humboldt County Coro- ner Dave Parris says 36- year-old Esmeli Moran of Fortuna died Tuesday when a Redwood log slipped while he was standing below at a site just outside Fortuna. The incident marks the second fatal logging acci- dent in Humboldt County in less than a week. Authorities say 32-year- old Karl Grant Olson of Kooskia, Idaho, died Thurs- day after a log tumbled and crushed him outside of Rio Dell. Olson was doing sub- contracting work for an Idaho company hired by the Humboldt Redwood Co. Bill protects clergy opposed to gay marriage SACRAMENTO (AP) — Clergy who refuse to sanction same-sex mar- riages would be protected under a bill sent to Gov.

The bill says religious institutions from faiths that object to same-sex unions could not be stripped of their tax-exempt status if their clergy refuse to per- form weddings for gay cou- ples. Leno, a gay Democrat from San Francisco, defended the measure when it was opposed by Sen. Roy Ashburn, an openly gay Republican from Bakers- field. Bill to slash fine for right turn on red SACRAMENTO (AP) — California drivers who turn right at a red light with- out fully stopping may soon face a greatly reduced penalty. The state Assembly on Wednesday approved AB909 by a 48-8 margin. The bill by Democrat Jerry Hill of San Mateo would impose a base fine of $35 for a driver who coasts through a red light while turning right. The current penalty is $100 — a fee supporters say far exceeds the severity of the infraction. The California Depart- ment of Motor Vehicles says turning right without stopping is the most com- mon red-light violation. Yet it results in far fewer colli- sions than other violations.

The bills approved Wednesday would phase in coverage before they are replaced by the new federal health care law in 2014. The first bill, AB1825, would require maternity coverage in basic plans sold on the individual market. The federal government already requires coverage by employers, and state law requires coverage by HMOs, but residents who buy their own insurance currently don’t get the same coverage. The second bill, AB2244, would prohibit insurers from refusing cov- erage to children simply because they have a pre- existing medical condition.
