e-News for April 10, 2015 Dear Members and Friends: Legislature Returns Monday for Full Start of Session – They’re Baaaaack!!! Monday was the first day when most policy committees in both houses start (in earnest) to hear the 2,500 bills that have been introduced this year. Of course from this amount, many have or will be “gutted” from spot bill form into something completely different. Others will be set for hearing, but then never actually be heard, because authors know their bills have no chance of passage (particularly if they are Republican-authored). Then there are the ‘simple’ bills that are intent on addressing one narrow issue, but ultimately become equivalent to “War and Peace” in terms of size by the time they make it through the legislative process. So, over the next month all bills will have to pass through their policy committee(s), or be ‘parked’ meaning that they become a two-year bill that cannot be acted upon without a rule waiver until next January, or die. The only exceptions to this rule are committee-sponsored bills that have no deadlines, meaning that they can be introduced throughout the session Monday will also ‘ramp-up’ the fundraiser machine. That shaking sound you hear emanating from Sacramento is from legislators calling all of their ‘friends’ to ‘entice them’ to attend their forthcoming fundraiser. The wine and cheese will be quite plentiful over the next several months around town! See our LAST PAGE for the bills we are following during the first month of session, and some info on Heat Illness Rules. SFPUC Contractors Open House – Over $1,000,000,000 in maintenance and repair work. If your company does less that $14,000,000 / year you need to become part of this.

San Carlos Police report that there have been a large number of construction site tool thefts. If you leave power or other valuable tools on the job site make sure they are securely locked up!

How about an office at the Builders Exchange? This is a good "business incubator" office in our San Carlos building. Businesses in the construction industry use the smaller offices located in the plan room to move out of their homes, take advantage of the plan room services, on site expert information and help, plus start a professional business while avoiding the high cost of a stand alone building. We have 2 small offices coming up, one is $490 / month and the other is $522 / month. This rent includes, utilities, custodial and everything except telephone and internet. (we have Comcast and AT&T in the building) Close to downtown, right off 101 with lots of amenities including copy machine, package receipt, lots of parking and good neighbors. Call us at 650-591-4486.to learn more and get a tour. The Office of Administrative Law (OAL) has officially approved the revised Heat Illness Prevention Standards.

The website is located at: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/heatillnessinfo.html Safety and Workshops at the Exchange!

Reduce Health Insurance Costs? Don’t expect a miracle but there are a few things you should do! The legislated inclusion of many people who could not get “normal” health insurance has really increased the price that everyone pays. Insurance is one of the biggest employee expenses you have – and one that has come under increased attention in the last two years. There are a couple of things you should do to try and keep costs under control: Form a small group: In California a group can be two people or more. Even with only two people in the “group” you get about 5% off the single person premium. If you can put together a larger group of more than five insured you can save up to 10%. Look for the “sweet spot”. The sweet spot is the best cost versus benefit policy. Carriers play the numbers to make their policies appealing. If you look at you likely usage versus the premium, deductible and out of pocket max, you will find that there is usually a policy that will actually cost you less overall considering all costs, and it is usually not the least expensive nor is it the most expensive choice. You should check this annually because the rates and plan features change rapidly in these troubled times for health insurance. Compare carriers annually. The carriers have to make a profit to stay in business, but the age mix of their customers can help change the cost. A carrier with a lot of young customers can have lower rates for the older ones (under Obamacare the young “support” the old) so check your rates against other carriers every renewal period to see if things have changed. You need help doing this. You need a broker with the patience and desire to really help you rather than just make more money by increasing your premium. We recommend Todd Taylor at Taylor Benefits. He has helped over 100 members save on health insurance. You can reach Todd at 408-358-7502 Now's The Time To Protect Your Hearing Before it's Too Late!

Would prohibit the State Air Resources Board from enforcing a certain regulation that restricts emissions from in-use, diesel-fueled vehicles until the state board completes a review of the safety of any particulate-matter filters required to be installed on affected vehicles. AB 750 (Low) Business and professions: licenses. Would authorize any of the boards, bureaus, commissions, or programs within the Department of Consumer Affairs, except as specified, to establish by regulation a system for a retired category of license for persons who are not actively engaged in the practice of their profession or vocation, and would prohibit the holder of a retired license from engaging in any activity for which a license is required. AB 756 (Chang) - Small businesses: state agencies: civil fines and penalties. Would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would authorize certain state agencies to waive penalties for small businesses within their first 120 days of operation if certain requirements are met. AB 777 (Harper) - California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006: repeal. The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 designates the State Air Resources Board as the state agency charged with monitoring and regulating sources of emissions of greenhouse gases. The state board is required to adopt a statewide greenhouse gas emissions limit equivalent to the statewide greenhouse gas emissions level in 1990 to be achieved by 2020 and to adopt rules and regulations in an open public process to achieve the maximum, technologically feasible, and cost-effective greenhouse gas emissions reductions. This bill would repeal the act. AB 785 (Brown) - State government: small business certification. Current law authorizes a city, county, or city and county to license any kind of business not prohibited by law transacted and carried out within the city, county, or city and county, as specified. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation that would create a statewide small business certification system. AB 795 (Low) - Employment: day's work. Current employment regulation law, with certain exceptions, establishes an 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek, and requires payment of prescribed overtime compensation for additional hours worked. AB 823 (Bigelow) - Counties: ordinances. Would modify the requirements for a county board of supervisors to publish a summary of a proposed ordinance or proposed amendment to an existing ordinance to meet the publication requirement for an ordinance to take effect, including, among other new requirements, allowing posting on the county's Internet Web site. AB 842 (Patterson) - Contractors: trust or custodial benefits plans: essential health benefits.
