Since the Legislature is all about “more bills” this year, we decided to follow suit with this year’s legislative scorecard.
Seven of these 82 bills — such as Senate Bill 328, the school start time bill — were introduced in 2017 but did not pass before the end of the 2017 legislative year. These bills were brought back and voted on in the Legislature in 2018.
- The favorable vote percentage is relative to how many total opportunities each legislator had to vote on these 82 bills.
- Education and Appropriations Committee members had more opportunities to cast votes on these 82 bills than other legislators — members of those committees are noted in the scorecard.
- On average, members of the Assembly cast 111 total votes on these bills, with members of the Senate casting an average of 84 votes; this is due primarily to the relatively higher volume of bills introduced in the Assembly versus the Senate.
- 49 of 82 bills were passed by the Legislature and sent to Gov. Brown, which means they were heard on both the Senate and Assembly Floors, thus giving each legislator at least one opportunity to vote on the bills.
- 33 of 82 bills did not pass the Legislature, which means some were heard on only one of the two floors, and some only in one or two committee hearings.
Would require all non-rural middle and high schools in California to begin the regular school day no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
Would allow LEAs the flexibility to administer an alternate assessment (such as the SAT or ACT) for 11th-grade students in place of the Smarter Balanced Summative Test, if the alternate test has been approved by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Expresses the intent of the Legislature to move California to the average of the top 10 states nationally in per-pupil education funding by 2025. As originally written, AB 2808 would have increased the size of the Local Control Funding Formula base grant targets, tying the higher amounts to the national average in per-pupil funding.
