CTA will be closed Monday, July 4 for Independence Day
Last week, AB 2406, CTA’s co-sponsored legislation to update SB 45 passed out of Senate Judiciary on a unanimous 11-0 vote. The bill will be taken up for a vote on the full Senate Floor in August. Should the bill pass and be signed into law by the Governor we will prepare a summary of changes to SB 45 contained in AB 2406. The effective date of the bill would be January 1, 2023.
If you would like to view the hearing, a video link is here. AB 2406 was the first bill presented.
