California Democratic Party Supports AAPI Priority Legislation Led by our Legislative Chair Gurpreet Kaur, our Caucus submitted requests for the party to support several bills on the California Legislature’s AAPI Legislative Caucus priority list. At the August Executive Board Meeting, the California Democratic Party voted to support our requested bills as priority bills for Democratic legislators to vote Yes on. AB 49 (Muratsuchi) Prohibits U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from entering a school site or child care facility for any purpose without providing valid identification, a written statement of purpose, a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district’s superintendent or director of the child care center. The bill also requires that if an ICE official meets the requirements to enter a school site or childcare facility, their access would be restricted to where students or children are not present. AB 695 (Fong) Establishes the CA Community Colleges Access and Continuity for Deported Students Act to provide deported California Community Colleges students the opportunity to continue their education online after leaving the United States. AB 863 (Kalra) Requires a translated eviction notice, complaint, and summons to be provided to tenants who have either negotiated their lease in another language or if the landlord has reason to believe they speak one of the top five non-English languages in California as their primary language: Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean. AB 1348 (Bains) Makes immigration enforcement activities that result in mass absences in schools a qualifying event for the purpose of calculating average daily attendance for funding after an emergency. AB 1362 (Kalra) Closes a loophole in current labor law by clarifying that all foreign labor contractors have worker rights as temporary immigrant workers, with only two exceptions: J-1 visas and talent agency recruiters. SB 509 (Caballero) Requires the Office of Emergency Services to work in cooperation with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to develop a training on recognizing and responding to transnational repression. The bill also defines transnational repression in order to provide clarity to law enforcement, and specifies that it is state policy to protect Californians against transnational repression and hold foreign governments accountable for committing those acts.
