State Legislature in Recess Until April 13th

As California grapples with the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Legislature suspended the 2019-2020 Legislative Session on Monday, March 16, 2020, and is scheduled to reconvene activities on Monday, April 13, 2020. The suspension will allow legislators to work more closely in their communities that are hit hard by the virus. It should be noted that legislative leaders in either chambers can decide to reconvene or extend the recess if necessary.

During this period, RCRC’s weekly update related to the current status of key state legislation will go into hiatus. However,RCRC staff will continue to monitor and engage with local government partners and other stakeholders on legislation impacting California’s rural counties.
