With Governor Gavin Newsom getting sworn into his second term of office last week in a private inauguration ceremony, and the 120 state legislators back in Sacramento, lawmaking is in full swing. Thousands of bills will be introduced within the next two months with hopes of making it to the governor’s desk after a long and arduous approval process.
California Family Council is here representing the interests of Christians concerned about the legislature’s efforts to disassemble the nuclear family, attack parental rights, promote immorality, devalue human beings, and push the culture away from God and his moral law. We encourage you to pay attention to the legislation being introduced and make sure your elected representatives are voting for and against bills that respect God’s commands and enable your neighbors to flourish.
We make this easy with our Legislation Watch List, which tracks bills of concern and bills we think are worthy of support. This online list automatically updates the status of bills and lets you know when key committee and floor votes are happening. You can always find a link for this watch list at the top of our website.
