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 OctoberKeeping 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.
Sherman Garnett Sherman Garnett has been a public school educator for forty five years. During this period of time, Sherman has served in various roles ranging from teacher, athletic head coach, dean, assistant principal, principal, child welfare and attendance administrator and governing board member.

In this edition, you will find a link to the actual legislation that has now become a bill. Annually, one of the highlights to LACOE’s presentation is Dr.. Pamela Gibbs, J.D.
