3.30.2016 Yesterday, in a busy hearing of the Assembly Human Services Committee, AB 2054 (Thurmond) passed with unanimous, bi-partisan support on consent. Our thanks to Assemblymember Thurmond for championing this critical issue and to all of the bill’s supporters for lending their voices to this important change.
Summer is an especially vulnerable time for low-income children. When school is out, kids lose access to essential resources like healthy, affordable school meals. AB 2054 (Thurmond) will fight child hunger by preparing California to implement Summer EBT for Children (SEBTC), a model proven to prevent food insecurity and improve the quality of children’s diets.
