5.13.2015 Today AB 1240 (Bonta & Thurmond), the Breakfast After the Bell bill, was placed on suspense in the Assembly Committee on Appropriations. A bill is placed on suspense if its analysis shows a fiscal impact (i.e. a cost to the State). On May 29, the Assembly Committee on Appropriations will vote on all of the bills in the suspense file. If a bill is voted out of suspense, it proceeds to the Assembly floor for a vote by the entire house. CFPA is working with Committee members and staff to ensure that AB 1240 lives on!
