This resulted in $181 billion in economic impact and supported more 818,000 full-time equivalent jobs in the state. Two additional supplements will be released in the upcoming months detailing local impacts by county and congressional district. This report was prepared under contract with the California Research Bureau at the request of the Office of Planning and Research and the Governor's Military Council with financial support from the U.S. Department of Defense, Office of Economic Adjustment. The content included in this report does not necessarily reflect the views of the Department of Defense or the Office of Economic Adjustment.

Which California households and communities are most financially vulnerable to the economic shutdown induced by the coronavirus?

These are some of the public policy questions 18 Cal-in-Sacramento summer interns researched under the virtual direction of the California Research Bureau in a unique partnership during the summer of 2020 with the Robert T. Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service at the University of California, Berkeley.

Lead Fishing Tackle: Impacts of California Wildlife and the Environment

Environment, Resources & Utility | Pamela Martin | February 2019 | Report: Lead Fishing Tackle: Impacts of California Wildlife and the Environment

Lead is a popular choice for fishing sinkers and other tackle. But concerns persist about the impact of lead tackle that falls into rivers and streams, where it may harm fish, birds and other wildlife. At the request of the Office of State Assemblymember Bill Quirk, this paper provides a review of the literature concerning the impact of lead fishing tackle on fish and other wildlife, including a survey of lead tackle toxicity cases in wildlife rehabilitation centers along the West Coast.


Employer Reporting of Nurse Practice Act Violations in California

Health & Human Services | Patrick Rogers | January 2019 | Report: Employer Reporting of Nurse Practice Act Violations in California

The California Board of Registered Nursing is tasked with protecting the health and safety of Californians by licensing and regulating the practice of nursing in the state. One way it does this is by using voluntarily provided reports of alleged violations of the Nursing Practice Act. This report, as required by Senate Bill 799 (Hill, 2017), reviews the different forms of reporting systems used in California and other states, the barriers to reporting alleged violations that can occur, and provides policy options for the state to consider. In addition to voluntary reports, 32 other states require mandatory reporting in certain situations, such as when an employer fires or suspends a registered nurse. Information from other states and literature on the topic are mixed, however, and demonstrate challenges with both the voluntary and mandatory reporting systems.


California Statewide National Security Economic Impacts

Business & Economy | Devin Lavelle | August 2018 | Report: California Statewide National Security Economic Impacts

Nearly 130,000 active duty military personnel and an additional 56,000 reservists and National Guard are stationed across California’s 30 military installations, the largest concentration of American military in any state or country in the world. An additional 115,000 civilian national security personnel are employed in California and $47 billion are spent in the state on national security-related procurement, grants and Veteran Affairs benefits. This report estimated the impact of national security spending in California, totaling $156.3 billion in economic activity and 767,000 full-time equivalent employment in 2016.


Demographics in the California Legislature: August 2018 Special Election Update

Government | Devin Lavelle | August 2018 | Presentation: Demographics in the California Legislature: August 2018 Special Election Update

Six new state legislators have been voted into office during the 2017-18 term. Six men left office, with voters choosing to replace five with women. Pending state Senator-elect Vanessa Delgado assuming office, the number of women in the Legislature would increase to 31, recovering losses in the 2016 election. The Assembly remains majority-minority (54 percent) and the Senate would increase to 25 percent (currently at 23 percent).


A Review of the California Unlawful Detainer Pilot Program: 2018 Update

Crime & Justice | Benjamin Tang | March 2018 | Report: A Review of the California Unlawful Detainer Pilot Program: 2018 Update

Since 1998, the California Unlawful Detainer Pilot Program has authorized city attorneys in select jurisdictions to initiate nuisance eviction cases against tenants arrested for controlled substances and illegal firearms. This 2018 update is the eighth public report to evaluate the merits of the program. Program use has been steady during the past three years, but still well below peak use a decade ago. The majority of arrested tenants voluntary vacate their residences when informed of pending evictions, and most tenants are Latino or African-American.
