The California Complete Count: local educational agencies.

Existing federal law requires the enumeration of the population of the United States every 10 years, known as the federal decennial census. By executive order in 2018, the California Complete Count Committee was established to develop, recommend, and assist in the administration of a census outreach strategy to encourage full state participation in the 2020 federal decennial census. Existing law requires that the committee's efforts be coordinated out of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. Existing law requires the outreach strategy to include the establishment and support of school-based outreach programs. Existing law requires the California Complete Count Census to submit reports relating to various aspects of the federal decennial census to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the Assembly Select Committee on the Census, and the Senate Select Committee on the 2020 United States Census. Existing law requires the Secretary of State, beginning in the year before the federal decennial census and continuing through the completion of the enumeration activities for that census, to include on the secretary's internet website information designed to educate the public regarding, and encourage participation in, the federal decennial census. This bill would require the California Complete Count - Census 2020 Office to partner with local contracted educational agencies to make specified information about the 2020 federal decennial census available to students and their parents or guardians at schools. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
