SB 388 California Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

California Latino Commission.

Summary
Existing law establishes various advisory boards and commissions in state government with specified duties and responsibilities. This bill would create the California Latino Commission to address the inequities faced by the Latino community in housing, education, economic mobility, labor, and health care. The commission would consist of 9 members who have demonstrated expertise in specified areas, including housing policy and advocacy and economic development. The bill would task the commission with, among other things, collecting and analyzing data, developing recommendations, and monitoring the implementation of state programs and policies affecting the Latino community, as specified. The bill would require the commission to work with other state agencies and to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature. The bill would establish that the commission and its activities would be supported by appropriations by the Legislature from the General Fund and grants from federal and private sources. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2036.

What changed between versions

09/12/25 - Enrolled SB388 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes occurred between these two versions. The diff reflects a change in document formatting only: the first version is the formal enrolled bill with signature blocks and page numbers, while the second is a web-scraped rendering from the California legislature website that includes navigation elements and metadata. All statutory text (Sections 8277 through 8277.6) is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

The document changed from a formal enrolled bill format (with Secretary of the Senate, Chief Clerk of the Assembly, and Governor approval blocks) to a web page rendering that includes site navigation, version history, status dates, and a slightly restructured header. No statutory language was added, removed, or altered.
