Governor Signed into law an urgency bill allocating $31.7 million to reimburse local school districts for voluntary desegregation costs.

Assembly Bills Introduced:

Reapportionment: ACA 10 by Assemblyman Don A. Sebastiani (R-Sonoma) would require voter approval of new legislative and congressional district boundaries drawn by the Legislature after every 10-year census.

Senate Bills Introduced: AIDS: SB 313 by Sen. Herschel Rosenthal (D-Los Angeles) would require tests and results for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) to be kept confidential and provide penalties for disclosure to unauthorized persons. Similar bills are pending in the Assembly.

Balanced Federal Budget: SJR 8 by Sen. Edward R. Royce (R-Anaheim) requests Congress to call a constitutional convention to draft a federal balanced budget amendment for submission to the people. An initiative dealing with the same subject was found unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court and stricken from last November’s ballot.

Science Texts and Laboratory Equipment: SB 317 by Sen. Gary K. Hart (D-Santa Barbara) would appropriate $19 million to buy science textbooks and laboratory equipment for high school students.

Miscellany Income Tax Refunds: The first $2.1 million in 1984 state income tax refunds have been mailed out to 15,000 taxpayers who filed early, according to state Controller Kenneth Cory, who sent out a press relase providing a not-so-subtle nudge to those who still have not filed their returns.
