  4 19                           EXPLANATION
  4 20    The bill provides that the erection of a historical
  4 21 memorial or monument for a purpose other than the
  4 22 commemoration of the service rendered by a soldier, sailor, or
  4 23 marine of the United States is a general county purpose for
  4 24 which a county may issue a bond.  Current law already provides
  4 25 that a memorial or monument to commemorate the service
  4 26 rendered by a soldier, sailor, or marine is a general county
  4 27 purpose.
  4 28    The bill also requires that a keeper of a county jail shall
  4 29 provide that a male jailer be present if male prisoners are
  4 30 incarcerated at the jail.  Current law already provides that a
  4 31 female jailer be present if female prisoners are incarcerated.
  4 32    The bill eliminates the provision that the physical
  4 33 condition and general reputation of applicants for city or
  4 34 county assessor be considered prior to the appointment of an
  4 35 assessor.  The fitness of each applicant for the position
  5  1 shall still be considered when selecting an assessor.
  5  2    The bill also requires that minimum physical, educational,
  5  3 mental, and moral requirements for the appointment of a
  5  4 temporary peace officer by the director of the department of
  5  5 natural resources be job-related.
  5  6    The bill provides that both parents, and not just the
  5  7 father, are liable for the expense of a mother's pregnancy and
  5  8 confinement for a child born out of wedlock.  The bill also
  5  9 provides that the custodial parent may recover from the other
  5 10 parent a reasonable share of the support of the child.
  5 11 Current law only provides for the recovery of support by the
  5 12 mother from the father.
  5 13    The bill provides that a parent who does not have physical
  5 14 custody of the parent's minor child at the time of the child's
  5 15 unlawful act is not liable for that minor child's unlawful
  5 16 act.
  5 17    The bill also provides that in any estate in which the
  5 18 assets are insufficient to pay all debts and charges of the
  5 19 estate, paying previously unpaid support shall have first
  5 20 priority for payment.  Current law provides that the payment
  5 21 of unpaid support shall have ninth priority, after items such
  5 22 as court costs, costs of administration, burial expenses,
  5 23 taxes, medical expenses from the decedent's last illness, and
  5 24 certain labor performed prior to the death of the decedent.
