That’s a Wrap! 2023 Legislative Session Adjourns
On Thursday, September 14 the Legislature adjourned for the final time in the 2023 Session after two weeks of daily Floor Sessions. Hundreds of bills were sent to the Governor in the final weeks of session, including many of interest to CASA members. With the Legislative Session coming to a close, bills that passed are headed to the Governor’s desk for his consideration. The Governor has until October 14 to sign or veto all the bills that were passed in the 2023 Session.

 

Legislature Passes Bills to Ban PFAS in Consumer Products
CASA is excited to share that our co-sponsored bill, AB 727 (Weber), which aims to ban PFAS in cleaning products, and AB 246 (Papan), which seeks to ban PFAS in feminine care products, are headed to the Governor’s desk! These bills continue to highlight the importance of source reduction as the highest priority strategy for managing PFAS in the environment. CASA has prepared template letters of support urging for the Governor’s signature, and we encourage CASA member agencies to submit letters of support for both bills. The AB 727 Letter and the AB 246 Letter can be found linked here.
