Sacramento, Calif. – On May 21, 2024, Majority Leader Gonzalez’s (D-Long Beach) Senate Bill 1182 the Climate Resilient Schools Act was approved by the Senate with a vote of 35-0.

Sacramento, Calif. – On May 21, 2024, Majority Leader Gonzalez’s (D-Long Beach) Senate Bill 1337 the Referendum Funding Transparency Act passed the Senate with a vote of 28-9. The bill will provide California voters with additional transparency about the entities and corporations that fund referendum measures to overturn existing laws. As large corporations increasingly exploit the referendum process for financial gain and to undermine the voices of Californians who rely on their elected leaders to enact beneficial legislation, it is more important than ever to safeguard voters from these misleading campaigns and to provide them with tools for more informed decision-making.
“The Climate Resilient Schools Act will help protect our students and frontline communities from the adverse impacts of the climate crisis while simultaneously addressing the crisis itself,” said Majority Leader Gonzalez (D-Long Beach). “It is a timely opportunity we simply cannot miss, especially as our state benefits from federal funds that can be utilized to construct sustainable schools, minimize pollution, and ensure our students remain healthy and safe as they learn, despite the challenges posed by climate change. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Legislature as the bill progresses through the legislative process and into committee hearings in the upcoming weeks.”
“I am deeply honored to be appointed as the new Senate Majority Leader alongside Pro Tem McGuire. Through my nearly five years as a Senator representing Long Beach and Southeast Los Angeles, my top priority has been to uplift the voices of all Californians through meaningful legislation, especially for our most underserved communities.
