(CBM) – The California State Assembly HAS voted to pass ACA 5.

The bill authored by Assemblymember Dr. Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, sponsored the bill.

The ballot measure that could overturn Proposition 209 now moves to the state Senate for consideration.

“And let’s make sure Black Americans in California benefit significantly.”

California voters approved Prop 209 in 1996, a ballot measure that outlawed the consideration of race in contracting, college admissions, employment and state data reporting in California.
