Senator Dave Cortese joined the Council on American-Islamic Relations and other groups supporting criminal justice and religious liberties on Tuesday to celebrate the passage of SB 309, which establishes new religious protections for incarcerated Californians.

New buildings in California will become more water efficient following Governor Newsom’s approval of SB 745 by Senator Dave Cortese, which requires new state building standards to drop water usage while adopting designs that capture recycled water for building and landscaping uses. These standards will incorporate systems for reusing water and treating graywater, plumbing that intakes greater amounts of recycled water, and using alternative water sources.
Governor Gavin Newsom announced today that he has signed Senator Cortese’s legislation expanding healthcare access to California’s dogs and cats. SB 669 allows veterinarian technicians, or vet techs, to take on new responsibilities following the permission of a licensed veterinarian. SB 669 would allow vet techs to administer vaccines to pets as well as prophylactic treatments for internal and external parasites.
