Abstract:
The California Senior Legislature (CSL) was established in 1979 as a nonpartisan volunteer organization. The State Legislature declared that the needs of seniors for public programs in health, social services, recreation, transportation, education, housing, cultural services, and other appropriate areas of service can best be assessed by senior citizens. The CSL has proved its usefulness by providing model legislation for older adults and advocating for and on behalf of seniors.Keywords: Senior Senate; Senior Assembly; California Association of Area Agencies on Aging; The Joint Rules Committee; Legislative Committee; AB 918; AB 663; SB 1047; SB 33; Senate Joint Resolution 4; AB 2010; AJR 30; SJR 12; Mandatory emergency treatment; ide
