Bill Summary

An act to add Section 9025.5 to the Government Code, relating to the Legislature.

AI Summary

This bill requires all Members and designated employees of the Legislature to attend an orientation course on the United States Constitution and the California Constitution, in addition to existing ethics training. The Legislative Counsel Bureau, working with the Joint Rules Committee, will create and deliver this course, which will cover topics like federalism, separation of powers, civil rights, and the roles of government branches. Members or employees can be excused from this course if they can prove they already know the material through an evaluation or if they are licensed to practice law in California. This aims to ensure a foundational understanding of constitutional principles for those involved in the legislative process.
