Call to Action: Contact the Legislature to Support AB 1384 and COVID-19 Liability Protection

We need your help on an important piece of legislation supported by CASH: AB 1384 (O’Donnell).  This bill provides K-12 schools with limited liability protection from COVID-19 lawsuits.  AB 1384 is pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee, and we recently found out that the Committee is not planning to schedule the bill for a hearing.  Without a hearing, the bill does not have a chance at passage.

Please email the Senate Judiciary Committee and urge them to schedule AB 1384 for a hearing.  A sample email is included below for your use.  There is still time for the Committee to change its mind and add AB 1384 to the agenda for its August 12th hearing.
