SB 518 author weakens legislation; CCs still oppose

Facing opposition from community colleges, Sen. Alan Lowenthal amended SB 518 on April 22 to weaken this legislation as it pertains to community colleges. Read the new legislative analysis. The Senate Committee on Education will hold a hearing on the amended bill tomorrow in Sacramento. The groups that originally supported SB 518 sent no new letters of support; the California Community College League remains opposed. This watered-down bill obviously portends a long process for parking reform in California.
