Governor Ronald Reagan told California junior college editors that there are no blanket shoot to kill orders for riots. Police and National Guard use only necessary force, treating each case individually, with rapid maximum response to prevent violence.
The Assembly approved short term measures to tighten Medi Cal control and funding. Key provisions empower the Medi Cal administrator to reduce payments and set service priorities while restricting elective care and shifting authority from counties. Reagan warns of ongoing deficits in education funds that could threaten Medi Cal financing. The Rules Committee also backed a resolution urging adoption of Johnson civil disorder recommendations.
Assemblyman James A. Hayes led a floor fight to strengthen California’s smog control law requiring all new cars from 1970 to meet strict exhaust standards. He won 43-24 to delete a delay provision, while Foran warned about federal acceptance. The amended bill moves to the Senate after next week’s Assembly action.
Senate approves a measure by Sen Clair Burgener to extend a cost of living increase in welfare payments to needy disabled. The plan keeps a $2.25 monthly max increase this year and adds $4.75 monthly starting June 30. Governor Reagan backs the bill, with state costs projected at $1.5 million this year and $4.2 million next year.
The California Senate approved a bill making it a misdemeanor to engage in simulated sex acts in state college produced plays and films. The move followed an inquiry into Fullerton State College’s controversial production of The Beard, said to include obscene dialogue and a simulated sex act. The measure now goes to the Assembly on a 21 2 vote.
