AB 2185, as introduced, Gonzalez. California Conservation Corps: nonresidential programs.
Existing law establishes the California Conservation Corps in the Resources Agency with the mission to, among other things, increase awareness of our natural resources, including instilling basic skills and a healthy work ethic in California youth, building their character, self-esteem, and self-discipline, and establishing within them a strong sense of civic responsibility and an understanding of the value of a day’s work for a day’s wages. Existing law requires the corps to develop nonresidential programs in urban communities, and authorizes it to develop those programs in other than urban communities, that have high concentrations of ethnic-minority youths, high levels of youth unemployment, and a need for conservation work.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 14400 of the Public Resources Code is
