On July 11th I wrote an article about 3 bills, AB 428, SB 405, and AB 178. These are billed the Applied Research Center (ARC) have been trying to pass for the last few months.

To get an idea how to these bills are faring, I interview Jarad Sanchez of the Los Angeles Applied Research Center.

After two month the bill AB 178 has already died. It did not get passed the Senate Education Committee as expected. The committee found that it was too expensive.

Normally you would not expect the Senate Education Committee to take the price of the bill into the account. That is supposed to be the Senate appropriation's job. However we live in a world of politics.
