AB 31: Parks for people

 
CLCV Supported
Passed Senate 24-14 (8/13/08)
Passed Assembly 48-28 (8/19/08)
Signed by the Governor

Many communities across California, from the biggest cities to the smallest towns, are starved for more local parks, and the shortage of parks is greatest in low-income and minority communities. AB 31 (de Leon) establishes a spending plan for $400 million approved by the voters in Proposition 84 (2006) to build and expand local parks in those areas most in need of more local parks.
