Last week, California's legislature sent critical bills to Governor Brown that will advance the health of our communities. The Governor has already signed one of CPEHN's priority bills, AB 516 (V.M. Perez), which strengthens the Safe Routes to School Program. This success is just the beginning; there's still more work to be done!
