CA Legislation

A Healthy Heaping of Success!

CCPHA is thrilled that Governor Jerry Brown signed 12 of the 13 CCPHA-supported bills that the Legislature sent him. Like many advocates, we anxiously watched the news coming out of Governor Brown’s office over the last couple weeks to see how public health would fare in the new Administration. From safe drinking water to support for breastfeeding to hunger prevention, Governor Brown did the right thing for California’s health. Thank you, Governor Brown!
