Dear Neighbor,

The 2024-25 legislative session ends on August 31, marking the final day for both the Senate and Assembly to pass bills. Before that, we have one more important deadline: suspense week. During this week, the Appropriations Committees review the fiscal impacts of any proposed state legislation costing $50,000 or more to the General Fund, or $150,000 or more to a special fund. By August 16, the last day for these committees to meet, we'll know which bills have been approved to move forward to a final floor vote.

Dear Neighbor,

I hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July with your friends, family, and loved ones. Before we start the weekend, I wanted to share a brief update with you.

Recently, the Senate announced that the Legislature had agreed on language regarding two critical bond measures on climate and education that would go before voters in November. As a proud co-author of these important initiatives, I am happy to share that the proposed bond measures passed the Legislature and have been signed into law!
