CYLA Attends Inaugural CLA Legislative Day

On March 20, 2019, CYLA members attended the inaugural CLA Legislative Day in Sacramento. Speakers included Assembly members Mark Stone (pictured) and Ash Kalra, Senators Hannah-Beth Jackson and Andreas Borgeas, Cory Jasperson of the Judicial Council of California, and Che Salinas of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Office. A major topic of conversation this year was the State Bar’s legislative proposal to increase the mandatory licensing fee for active attorneys from $383 to $813 in 2020. CLA has prepared a fact sheet summarizing this legislative proposal, which is available here. CLA’s Director of Governmental Affairs can be reached here.
