SB 1254 (Becker) Passes Senate Floor, Moves on to Assembly!

Published on May 22, 2024 in Adults, CalFresh, Older Adults, State Legislation

Yesterday, SB 1254 (Becker) — The FRESH Act — passed the Senate Floor on a 33-5 vote.  The bill now moves on to the Assembly and is one step closer to ensuring people leaving jails or prisons have timely access to basic needs like food. 

Nourish California and our cosponsors, All of Us or None, Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, and Justice in Aging thank Senator Becker for his strong leadership on justice-involved and anti-hunger issues. Together, we can ensure this important bill continues to move forward and reaches the Governor's desk.
