CPRS Legislative Updates:
There are a number of CPRS supported bills that are headed to the Governor for his final action. In order to push these bills “over the top” and insure his signature, CPRS is urging you to pen a quick letter to the Governor in support of the following bills:
AB 31 - Implementation Language for Proposition 84 - Local Assistance Grant Funding
AB 1358 - Complete Streets Act
AB 2537 - extends exemption of volunteers on public projects
AB 2971 - Fair Share for Safety Transportation

Below is a sample format to use for your letter to the Governor. Please send your letter as soon as you can - once a budget has been approved we expect the Governor to act quickly!
