County Operations

In a Sacramento Bee commentary, Mariposa County Supervisor and RCRC Chair Miles Menetrey outlines concerns with AB 690, arguing that while the bill aims to strengthen public defense, it could create major challenges for rural counties by imposing new service requirements without providing adequate funding or workforce support.

RCRC Policy Advocate Sarah Dukett was highlighted in a recent Capitol Weekly article examining proposed legislation aimed at regulating the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in California workplaces.
