CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY - DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
|
 Your Budget! Your Values! Take Action!
California State Assembly Democrats want to hear from YOU! Join the conversation about YOUR state budget. California is facing a financial crisis and Assembly Democrats want your help to shape a responsible budget. The Governor and Legislative Republicans have taken a cuts-only approach that will slash your budget without prioritization. Democrats are committed to fight for a fair budget that represents your values. Take action today to insure YOUR priorities are reflected in California's spending plan. |  Assembly Democrats Celebrate National Bike Month
And while we are recognizing the value of cycling in California this May, the legislature in Sacramento will also be working on bills addressing today’s environmental problems. Just one example is AB 2971. This bill would increase safe bicycle and pedestrian paths throughout our cities and counties, helping Californians navigate their communities without cars and safely. |  Budget Crisis Threatens Children's Dental Care
“Oral health is a core part of our overall health,” Assemblymember Hayashi said. “With California’s budget crisis threatening children’s access to critical dental health services, it is imperative that we come together to bring attention to and confront these challenges that we face as a community and as a state.” | |  Bold Leadership Needed to Create 21st Century Jobs
We have to position ourselves to compete globally for the high-paid, highly specialized jobs in these new fields. Germany and Japan have already usurped California's once leading position in solar and wind energy through targeted policies and initiatives. And Connecticut, Massachusetts, Texas, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Pennsylvania all have proactive economic policies. |  Making Solar Pay for Homeowners, Farms and Businesses
AB 1920 will allow residents who produce renewable energy for their homes, small businesses or farms to get paid by their utility company for any excess electricity they produce that goes back on the grid and it provides utilities with Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) credits for purchasing the renewable energy from their customers. |  "Larry's Law": Fostering Safe and Hate Free Schools
Assemblymember Eng nicknamed Assembly Bill 2762 “Larry’s Law” in memory of 14-year-old Larry King of Oxnard, a gay 8th grader, who was murdered in his classroom by his classmate. Police believe it was a hate crime. |
