The Attorney General's role in legislative matters is limited to making recommendations to the California Legislature regarding needed changes in law and to enforcing the laws the Legislature enacts. You may wish to share your concerns with your representatives in the California Legislature.
In Texas, what is the most important power of the state comptroller? He directs the collection of taxes and other revenues and estimates revenues for the budgeting process.
Comptroller of Public Accounts: The Comptroller serves as the chief tax collector and accounting officer. This office is also responsible for certifying the biennial budget of the state. Glenn Hegar currently serves as the Texas Comptroller and is elected by the people to 4 years terms with no term limits.
The governorThe governor can veto or sign legislation, and has the power of the line-item veto. Budgeting power is also a type of legislative responsibility (though students may not immediately recognize that budgets are bills). 13.
The comptroller general of an organization is generally in charge of setting and overseeing the accounting policy of that organization and reporting on the accounting activity of their organization to the necessary regulatory and oversight bodies.
The Comptroller General of the United States heads the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an agency within the legislative branch of the federal government. ... The agency carries out audit, evaluative, and investigative assignments and provides legal analyses to the Congress.
Texas utilizes a plural executive which means the power of the Governor is limited and distributed amongst other government officials. In other words, there is not one government official in Texas that is solely responsible for the Texas Executive Branch.
plural executive. an executive branch in which the functions have been divided among several, mostly elected, officeholders rather than residing in a single person, the governor.
Definition of plural executive : a group of officers or major officials (as a board of directors) or a committee that functions in making current decisions or in giving routine orders usually the responsibility of an individual executive officer or official.
With one exception, members of the plural executive are independently elected. (Secretary of State is appointed by the governor.)
A veto power that allows the executive to cancel specific parts of a bill (usually spending provisions) while signing into law the rest of the bill. While states give their governors a line-item veto, the Supreme Court has declared a federal line-item veto unconstitutional.
Item (or Line Item) Veto Although the legislature has the exclusive power to appropriate, many governors can veto items contained in appropriations bills without having to veto the entire bill.
The Attorney General has oversight jurisdiction over trusts that are created or hold assets for charitable purposes. More specifically, the Attorney General represents the public beneficiaries of charitable trusts, and not only has the right, but the duty, to protect charitable gifts and the public beneficiaries’ interests in charitable trusts.6
The Attorney General has oversight over foreign entities involved in the nonprofit sector in California. Foreign entities are organizations legally formed outside of California (i.e., in another state or country), which includes foreign nonprofit corporations, charitable trustees, and for-profit fundraising professionals. This oversight covers not only the Supervision of Trustees and Fundraisers for Charitable Purposes Act, but other California laws as well.
Volunteers and interns are a tremendous resource to the nonprofit sector. Because organizations frequently benefit from volunteer assistance in pursuing their missions, it is important that organizations understand the legal and practical differences between paid and unpaid personnel. The use of volunteers and interns entails a certain level of risk both to and from an organization, including labor law violations for misclassification of the worker as a volunteer or intern when the worker, in fact, qualifies as an employee under the law. Other issues may arise, such as liability of the volunteer or organization to third parties for acts committed by the volunteer, misappropriation by the volunteer of the organization’s tangible or intangible property, and unintended tax consequences for any benefits provided to the volunteer that are not exempt (e.g., living allowances or other in-kind benefits that do not qualify as de minimis fringe benefits excluded from tax).
What makes California great? The generous people who live here. Californians are big-hearted and charitable. We step up to help those in need, whether in response to natural catastrophes, man-made tragedies, or families struggling in our local communities. In 2017, charities operating in California reported receiving over $236 billion dollars in revenue.
Form RRF-1 must be filed within four months and fifteen days after the end of the organization’s fiscal or calendar year. This generally coincides with the organization’s reporting requirements with the IRS and FTB. If the organization obtains an extension to file with the IRS, the Registry honors that extension.
Form 199 or Form 199N must be filed on or before the 15th day of the fifth month following the close of an organization’s annual tax accounting period (i.e., May 15 for a calendar-year organization). Failure to file either form for three consecutive years results in loss of tax exemption. Also, late filings, or filing with incomplete information, may result in penalties.
That is, many charities end up owing more money to their fundraising professionals than they gained from the solicitation campaigns. These losses may be due to multiple circumstances, including hidden or unexpected costs of their fundraising appeals, the lack of core donors committed to donating, or because charity officials were swayed by a fundraising professional’s unrealistic projections.
The routine disposition of records created and maintained by the DOE and its Contractors may be suspended by a Program Manager or Site Manager through the issuance of a Moratorium. A Moratorium may be required to:
Comply with the Privacy Act and any DOE rules and regulations issued under the Act in the design, development, or operation of any system of records to accomplish an agency function subject to the “Privacy Act.”
Under 10 CFR Part 850 which appeared in the Federal Register as a final rule on December 8, 1999, the Department of Energy (DOE) established a chronic beryllium disease prevention program (CBDPP) to reduce the number of workers currently exposed to beryllium in the course of their work at DOE facilities managed by DOE or its contractors, minimize the levels of, and potential for, exposure to beryllium, and establish medical surveillance requirements to ensure early detection of the disease.
Contractors are responsible for complying with Federal Regulations in creating adequate and proper documentation and making sure that records are disposed of in accordance with NARA-approved disposition schedules.
In terms of its impact on servicer incentives to refinance, the RA proposal would have a smaller impact than FFS, but that is not to say it would have no impact. Reductions in servicer compensation will increase incentives to refinance. Here, it is important to recall that directionally the impact of increased refinancing incentives for servicers will always be viewed as a negative by investors in premium-priced Agency MBS.
Given the very low level of compensation, the FFS approach should reduce or eliminate the need for a servicer to book a mortgage servicing right asset (MSR). Some servicers, but not all, would likely view this as beneficial, according to our understanding. In any case, SIFMA believes any value of this (which as noted might depend on the servicer) pales in comparison to its cost in terms of competition reduction, destruction of liquidity in the TBA market (discussed below), and potential for increases in mortgage costs for borrowers. Looked at from another angle, FFS may materially increase financial risk to a number of servicers. The FFS approach would require servicers to be far more precise with respect to estimating the future cost of servicing (recall the discussion of the uncertainty of this cost above). If servicers fail to estimate the future cost appropriately, the much smaller revenue stream under FFS could essentially lock them into a negative basis trade. Thus more servicers could fail, resulting in mispriced servicing that may not be able to be transferred economically.
Like the federal executive branch, a state's executive branch is responsible for executing the laws that are created by the state's legislative branch and defined by the state's judicial branch. A state's legislative branch includes the elected representatives of that state.
A state official is a public official that holds or is invested with a state public office. A state official can be elected or appointed, but either way, the person will be trusted to carry out some portion of the state government's powers.
Let's take a look at the structure of state governments. Keep in mind that the states can organize their governments most any way they choose. However, all state governments use the same structure as the federal government. This means that the states each have three branches of government: 1 The executive branch 2 The legislative branch 3 The judicial branch

In most states, the governor serves a 4-year term. Governors act on behalf of the state. In general, a governor has the power to issue executive orders, prepare the state budget, make state appointments, veto legislation, and grant pardons to criminals convicted of state crimes.
