The California State Legislature has set a date to reconvene in Sacramento as well as scheduled budget hearing dates that will be attended by State Legislators both virtually and in-person. In a joint statement issued by Senate President Pro-Tempore Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) and Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood), the State Legislature, which was previously scheduled to return on April 13th, is now scheduled to return on May 4th. Additionally, the Senate announced that they have formed a new budget subcommittee solely related to COVID-19 and scheduled their first hearing for April 16th at 2:00PM, while the Assembly also announced the formation of a COVID-19 budget subcommittee that is scheduled to meet at 10:00AM on April 20th. Both subcommittees will be accessible to the public. However, due to social distancing measures still in place, space and seating will be limited. The public is encouraged to view the hearings through live webcasts. The details on where to watch the hearing and how to submit public testimony will be provided in the file notice for the hearings.
