On December 7th, the California State Assembly and Senate reconvened for swearing-in of new members and the kick off of the 2021 legislative cycle. Of course, COVID will loom large in every major policy discussion, but the impact of COVID on the state’s budget remains a big question. The legislature wasted no time introducing priority bills. The 100+ pieces of legislation ranged from reevaluating the distribution of EDD funds, to mandating school returns in certain timelines, to extended eviction moratoriums. We will monitor for relevant updates and include in our weekly Legislative Updates for your convenience.
