another big debate is set for today. that's how riled up people are. the entire capital building is under heightened security. this is a live look at the capital in sacramento this morning. that vaccination bill heads to senate committee for debate. dr. richard pan, who wrote the bill that would make it harder for parents to opt out of vaccinations for their children, it would get rid of the "personal belief" exemption in the current law and a well organized opposition says that it tramples on parents' rights. pan received threats through email and on facebook. one post referred to him as hitler. the chp ordered extra security for pan but he says he is not concerned and stands by his bill. >> children who may have a chronic condition like cancer and on chemotherapy who cannot be immunized and they depend on the rest of us to protect them. to engage in bullying and -- and --and vitriol around this issue, that to me is very unfortunate. >> reporter: one to 5% of california's public schoolchildren are not vaccinated. the bill has hurdles to pass if it becomes law. if it does, it will only be the third state with such strict rules. anne makovec kpix 5.

today the contra costa water district will consider mandatory water cutbacks of 25%. right now they are asking for a voluntary cut back of 15%. the board will also take a look at possible rate hikes and consider a ban on watering your lawn more than twice a week. as for the rate hikes, the board will have a public hearing in june. fremont residents will be seeing an 8% water rate hike. the alameda water district approved the increase last night. the lack of water isn't the only concern in fremont though. it's an aging infrastructure that needs repair. the district says it must charge its customers more to pay for those repairs. >> with this rate increase, the more water you conserve, the higher your bill will increase percentage-wise. >> a spokesman from the water district says a decrease in use means less money for them.
6:02 am
in santa cruz, mandatory water rationing begins may 1. city council declaring a stage 3 water emergency there. everyone will be required to cut water use by 25%. yesterday, east bay m.u.d. declared a stage 4 emergency requiring a 20% cut back. fine for the first violation is $1,000. >> that's a lot of money. all right. 6:02. let's check the roads with elizabeth. >> thanks, guys. and let's see, out the door, we will start with a look at westbound 580. it's because of an earlier stall that we're seeing the heavier delays than usual through the livermore valley. it was actually in the red while the stall was still there blocking a lane. so it's up to 21 minutes now. but again it was a stalled truck blocking one lane near the north greenville exit. you can see the backups still behind it from the 205/580 interchange all the way even past the scene to about vasco. we are seeing that slow traffic. and then highway 4 we also have a wreck this time near railroad and so we are seeing kind of one long line of continuous brake lights from antioch into
6:03 am
concord. but the heaviest delays are still between hillcrest and "a" street. and over at oracle, later on this evening once again we have warriors versus nuggets 7:30 and right now, though, everything is still really quiet in that area past 66, high street, no delay all the way into downtown oakland. or you can ride mass transit to the game or just to get to work on time. so far everything is reporting no delay. with the forecast, here's roberta. that's exciting the warriors in their last game of the season. we also have the giants playing host to the colorado rockies. lincecum on the mound for the good guys, game time temperature of 58 degrees. right now out the door we do have temperatures in the 40s and 50s. that is a beautiful view from san francisco looking due east towards the port of oakland where it's currently 51 degrees there. it's 48 degrees in san jose. the winds are all under ten miles per hour right now. but we are looking at increasing winds at the delta today at the carquinez straight with the wind advisory in those

6:06 am
him last week. >> we're talking about a repeated pattern of touching breasts, but the to kissing on the lips, unwanted contact. >> the coach pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in new york yesterday. petaluma police are now working with new york authorities. two bart workers killed on the train tracks in 2013 did not have a lookout. the ntsb released its report on the deadly accident yesterday. that was their finding. they say the workers received authorization to be on the tracks without a lookout watching for trains. general manager said bart has made significant changes to the trackside procedures to provide additional safety measurers for our workers. among the changes, slowing down trains with workers nearby and stopping trains if workers are within 6 feet of the tracks and a lookout is mandated to be in place. if you waited until the last minute to file taxes beware. just a few post offices around the bay area will be open late

6:08 am
later today scientists from the marine mammal center and the academy of sciences will perform a necropsy. good luck on that. this thing looks like it weight about 50 tons from what we're hearing how big an adult sperm whale is. so they have their work cut out for them. not sure if they will leave it out here tow it out to sea. we'll just have to wait and see. live in pacifica, kiet do, kpix 5. time now 6:08. a police officer intentionally rams his cruise near a suspect and now he is earning praise from the chief. >> and the warriors didn't play last night. but steph curry still managed to amaze basketball fans from coast to coast. >> and did you hear the warriors have a brand-new coffee called warriors ground? it's true. from basketball to baseball, we have the giants forecast plus i'll tell you when it's going to rain again. >> and if you want to avoid the roads this morning, try mass transit instead. we haven't had any issues at
