Meeting_Body EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE JUNE 18, 2015 Subject/Action SUBJECT: MONTHLY STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE REMARKS Title RECEIVE oral Federal/State Affairs update.

The bill has been amended to incorporate legislation from last year, SB 1037 (Hernandez). The Board of Directors adopted a Work with Author position on that measure.
