i'm michael george with the new standards designed to help clean and safe water. plus california law requires school staff to call police for a variety of issues from crimes to simply acting

out. now a bay area lawmaker wants to reduce unnecessary calls to campus. that effort follows our handcuffs in hallways investigation. it found officers are called on the youngest students, thousands of times a year. >> reporter: and more than 1,600 of those calls came from our bay area schools. now san jose assemblyman wants to reduce the number of unnecessary calls to cops on campus. but one powerful lawmaker could kill his bill before anyone gets a chance to vote. >> they slammed his head to the floor. at least three times his size. he pressed his neck down

with their knee on his neck and back. it is just hard to watch that, you know he's in pain. >> reporter: we first introduced you to our statewide hallway investigation back in 2022. his dad later sued. according to court records, this was the fourth time that the 11-year-old with special needs was handcuffed at schools. this time it began when he refused to get up and walked to the principal's office after he threw rocks on campus the day before. >> do you understand that you are going to go to the office? >> reporter: less than 90 seconds after the sheriff deputies walked into the classroom, they would pull him from his desk. they pinned the child down, and handcuffed the boy. meanwhile their case may be extreme. he is certainly not alone. our cbs news analysis of the u.s. department of education data reveals in california, police were called to k-8 campuses more than 10,000 times in a single year. but only one out of every 18

kids were actually arrested. here in the bay area, even fewer. over 1,600 calls, but only 14 arrests. >> does that tell you that police are being called for incidents that might not warrant a police officer? >> i wouldn't necessarily draw that conclusion. >> reporter: he gives expert testimony in cases of police misconduct. the former sheriff and school resource officer says a law enforcement presence can help deescalate the situation. but believes in some cases, law enforcement is misused on the school campuses. >> there is a time to call on law enforcement. but the school rules should be enforced. >> reporter: the california state law currently requires school staff to notify law enforcement for a variety of student offenses or face a fine. some say could lead to unnecessary calls to police for issues that may be better handled by counselors and trained staff. and our review of on-campus calls for cops review a combination for crimes and behavioral issues including things like tardy mediation and

disrupting school activities, which is technically a misdemeanor. >> i appreciate the reporting because they highlighted why we need legislation. >> reporter: the assemblyman appoints to study after study that shows they could lead to increased bad behavior among kids. >> why do we want to criticize? >> and when they are understaffed, it's a matter of public resources, for very minor incidents. >> reporter: his bill would prevent students from being charged for a misdemeanor for disrupting school related activities many their own district. instead of requiring school staff to call police for a variety of reasons, he wants to authorize them to call police and remove the fine if they don't. schools would still have to report any violations and weapons under federal laws. >> there's situations where you need to call the police to campus. what we're saying is you shouldn't have to do it

every time there's a little incident. >> reporter: now carl introduced a similar bill last year. one person, a committee chair has the power to kill any bill. and in this case, the assembly education chair sitly chose not to schedule a bill for their hearing and they could do it again. we are still waiting for an interview. they continued to have concerns around the potential impact for school safety. now the teachers association, they have not taken a stance where there is to formal opposition to the current version of the bill. but some say that they worry it could lead to crimes on campuses going underreported or put undue pressure on teachers to decide when to call police. like most children who interact with the cops on campus, the deputies never actually arrested cb and he was

not charged. the federal court later ordered his district to change their policies, but many want to see changes statewide. >> there are only two weeks left for the education chair to schedule this bill for a hearing otherwise it dies again without a vote. >> the fentanyl crisis is taking center stage at the state capitol today. lawmakers held hearings on the series of bills. one would increase access to testing strips. another would require trainings for hospital emergency rooms to connect patients to opioid treatment services. state data shows 6,500 californians died in 2022 from fentanyl. a build up would require the landlords to accept pets is one step closer to becoming a law. it's now headed to the assembly floor. the assemblyman will introduce that bill in february. the proposed law would require the landlords to

have reasonable excuses for denying pets at a property. they would also prohibit the landlords from asking about pets on rental applications, and eliminate extra monthly pet rent fees. we would talk a lot about overcrowding at local animal shelters. it's a huge problem with so many homeless pets in need for care. a los angeles group might have come down with a partial side unanimously to temporarily stop issuing breeding permits. and more than 1,100 breeding permits were issued just last year with an influx of purebred dogs at the shelters. and especially breeders. >> there inlies the problems. we will get permits and do dna testing, we will do the health panel testing. >> los angeles kennels, they are at more than 200% overcapacity. we have also seen

overcrowding at shelters here in the bay area since more people started going back to work in person. coming up next, a push to protect americans from toxic chemicals. the new rules on drinking water. >> these chemicals will affect us in an uncontrol manner. they are harmful to our families and communities, and harmful to our kind. >> we're going to take a look back at the legacy of civil rights icon as she

the agency said the new rule could potentially save thousands of lives. >> reporter: the epa announced a new national drinking water standards.

>> and the harmful communities and harmful to our economy. >> reporter: they require the water systems to monitor, reduce, report high levels of six of the most common and toxic chemicals known as forever chemicals. >> and you can't taste them or see them. and so that is why these new rules are so important. >> this is the first ever national legally enforceable drinking water standard. but they estimate it will reduce their exposure for approximately 100 million americans. there were about

15,000 different types of these human made chemicals. they are used in everyday products including food packaging, non-stick cookware and other care products. they estimate 6% to 10% public drinking water systems in the country will likely need to make changes to meet the new standards. >> more than half do not meet the new standards on forever chemicals. i actually thought she would last forever. even college basketball's all-time winningest division coach has a shelf life. and the giants today, found something they have been missing lately.

anyone enjoying the summer vibes today is about to get a little bit of a slap in the face. >> that's coming saturday just in time for the weekend. we will talk about that because it's rain. that's a pretty big impact from that and daytime highs that don't get out of the 50s. before we get toospectacul cloud in sight. so we are just a little bit off the daytime

highs right now, where we would hit them and you can take any one of these numbers and add that on top of it and they are getting close to 80. and san jose, already made it up to 82 today, you'll be close to that tomorrow. north bay numbers, you're going to warm up as well. now that we have seen the warm side of this forecast, just to use the virtual map to show how extreme it will be for saturday. these are saturday's daytime highs. and they will start with a five. >> and judging by how much cooler we're going to get makes perfect sense now. that storm is coming down from the gulf of alaska. hasn't even developed now where we are looking out to saturday for its

arrival here. when we put it in the futurecast, you can see how it will come together and winds itself up to make a hard left turn right there. like they had it in for us all along. cut off low, which will seem to be motivated to bring us rain. if we time it out, watch the main band of rain come in for saturday morning. that cold front right there will work their way. that's right before sunrise. then we will get to saturday afternoon and it's scattered showers, pretty much on and off throughout saturday. we're not out of the woods on this until we get to sunday night. just a closer view on it. watch some of the details on this. not only do we get the widespread rain by about 3:00 in the morning and noon and that is the window. look at mount hamilton. we will get another light dusting of snow on mount hamilton that you can see the white bull's eye that showed up there. there won't be as much as we got with the last storm a week ago, with a light dusting of snow out of some of the higher peaks. if we would put it into the long range

forecast, sunday has some leftovers. that's all the way until we are done with sunday and that you'll see in the seven-day forecast that there is nothing more. it is pretty decent for the two-day period. if we will get an inch of rain and bay area wide. that will rank, you know, moderate in terms of what most of the storms were like this winter, that was pretty good. we are not too concerned about the flooding. although there is enough rain on here when we would get into saturday afternoon, if you get one of those brief downpours from the isolated thunderstorms that you could get one of those on sunday. and then for a very localized area, where we could be looking at minor roadway flooding where the system will have that ability to do that. and particularly with those isolated cells from saturday afternoon, sunday. there's a pretty busy looking weekend, where it is done completely by monday and then we will warm up pretty nicely. by the time we get to wednesday, we will be back, not to the 80s, but going back to the mid-70s. and back to you. >> thanks, darren.
