THE PURPOSE OF THIS WEB SITE IS TO HELP VETERAN ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TO KEEP TRACK OF SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE ISSUES AT THE STATE LEVEL.
INFORMATION CONCERNING BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS UPDATED AS CHANGES OCCUR. PAGES AND INDIVIDUAL BILLS ARE MARKED CONCERNING THE LATEST UPDATE ADDED. WHEN THE LEGISLATURE IS IN SESSION, E-MAIL REPORTS ARE ISSUED, GENERALLY ON A WEEKLY BASIS, TO CALL ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT ACTIONS THAT ARE SCHEDULED OR HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. TO RECEIVE THESE REPORTS, SEND AN E-MAIL TO califveterans@cox.net AND REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THE CALIFORNIA VETERANS ELECTRONIC LEGISLATIVE NETWORK (ELN). PLEASE PROVIDE NAME, ORGANIZATION AND OFFICE IN THE ORGANIZATION.
INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ABOUT INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO ASSIST ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS TO DETERMINE WHO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES ARE IN THE STATE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY.
INFORMATION IS PROVIDED ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP OF SOME OF THE COMMITTEES IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE THAT FREQUENTLY TAKE ACTION ON VETERANS’ LEGISLATIVE ISSUES. IN THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE, THE COMMITTEE ACTIONS ON ANY BILL ARE THE DETERMINING FACTORS ON WHETHER A BILL PASSES OR DIES. FLOOR VOTES RARELY, IF EVER, OVERTURN THE RESULTS IF THE COMMITTEES HAVE PASSED THE BILL.
INFORMATION WILL ALSO BE POSTED, FROM TIME TO TIME, CONCERNING SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OF INTEREST TO VETERANS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE STATE, AS THIS INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE.
COMMENTS CONCERNING THE INFORMATION AND DESIGN OF THESE PAGES ARE WELCOME. SEND TO califveterans@cox.net.
