The two-year legislative session ends next week. All bills must be approved and sent to the Governor by the end of next week. Committee work is finished, and the focus is on finalizing last minute changes to bills.
The 2024-25 state budget education “trailer” bill has enacted a few modest, but noteworthy changes to independent study law.
The legislature passed a set of budget and related “trailer” bills this week that reflect a full budget package negotiated with the support of Governor Newsom and that amend a prior “placeholder” budget.
