On Thursday, Governor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation convening a special session of the California Legislature in response to the 2024 general election results. The stated reason by the Governor was to “safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration. The special session will focus on bolstering California legal resources to protect civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, and immigrant families.”
Dates and times for the special session have yet to be released. For more information, please refer to the Governor’s proclamation, which can be found here.
