California Latino Commission.
- Establishes a new California Latino Commission to address inequities in housing, education, labor and healthcare.
- Creates a 9-member commission with expertise in housing, education, labor rights and public health.
- Requires quarterly meetings to analyze data and develop recommendations for Latino community needs.
- Mandates annual public forums and reports to the Governor on commission findings and policy proposals.
A bipartisan group of California legislators, led by Senators Padilla, Cervantes, Hurtado, and Rubio, has put forward legislation to establish the California Latino Commission, a nine-member body tasked with addressing disparities in housing, education, labor, and healthcare affecting the state's Latino population.
The commission would comprise three appointees each from the Governor, Senate President pro Tempore, and Assembly Speaker. Members must demonstrate expertise in areas including housing policy, education, labor rights, public health, or economic development. Meeting quarterly, the commission would collect and analyze data on Latino community outcomes, develop policy recommendations, and monitor state programs' effectiveness across key sectors.
The legislation outlines specific duties including investigating Latino representation in STEM fields and organized labor, developing strategies for affordable housing access, and working to expand healthcare services through Medi-Cal. The commission would collaborate with multiple state agencies, including the Department of Housing and Community Development, public university systems, and the Labor and Workforce Development Agency. Annual public forums would provide direct community input into the commission's priorities.
The commission's operations would be funded through legislative appropriations from the General Fund and external grants. An annual report to the Governor and Legislature would detail the commission's work, resource needs, and policy recommendations for the following year.
