CASCWA CALIFORNIA Legislation Information

CASCWA is constantly paying attention to the actions of California's State Legislators.  Legislation is a process.  It takes time.  There are many hearings and revisions that take place prior to the governor signing a bill into law. 

The annual  legislative process is as follows:

1.  Bills are introduced in February

2.  Bills must pass out of their respective senate or assembly by the end of May.

3.  Bills must pass out of both the senate and assembly by the end of August

4.  The governor must accept or veto the legislation by the beginning of October

Keeping informed of a bills's status is important to all of us in the fields of child welfare and attendance.  The goal of this web page is to bring attentions to the status of key bills that are pending, to link our members and friends to the actual bills being discussed and recognize when pertinent bills become law.  CASCWA is fortunate to have three legislative representatives, Allen Dosty, Sherman Garnett and Dan Martin.
