AB 194 (Beall) – Support
As Amended on May 31, 2011
AB 194, a bill by Assembly Member Jim Beall, would grant foster
youth priority enrollment in a public university or community
college system.
AB 194 specifically would allow foster youth and former foster
youth to receive priority enrollment in the California State
University and community college system, if the specific campus
utilizes the required technology to grant priority enrollment. AB
194 also requests the participation of the University of
California system.
Counties support efforts to ensure the long-term success of
foster youth and former foster youth and therefore support AB
194. The Senate Education Committee unanimously passed the bill
on June 7 and it now goes to the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
AB 300 (Ma) – Support
As Amended on March 10, 2011
AB 300, by Assembly Member Fiona Ma, would establish clear
standards for the tattoo, piercing and permanent cosmetics
industry in California.
AB 300 establishes a clear scope of local authority, clear
requirements for registration of body art practitioners and
consistent enforcement of mobile and fixed body art sites. The
bill also requires body art practitioners, as a provision of
registration, to complete courses on the transmission of blood
borne pathogens and first aid.
The Senate Health Committee unanimously passed the bill on June 7
and it now goes to the Senate Committee on Public Safety.
