Bill > SB699

This bill requires all Members and employees of the California Legislature to attend a course on the United States and California Constitutions within six months of the start of a regular legislative session, or within six months of taking office or being hired if they join after the session begins. The Legislative Counsel Bureau, in consultation with the Joint Rules Committee, will develop and conduct this course, which must be at least two hours long and cover topics such as federalism, preemption, separation of powers, civil rights, state constitutional rights, and the roles of the three branches of government at both state and federal levels. This requirement aims to ensure a foundational understanding of constitutional principles among legislative officials.
