On June 18, California Senate Bill SB 1322 passed the Assembly Education Committee. It had already passed the Senate. It removes several laws that discriminate against members of the Communist Party, such as a law making it illegal for a member of that party to work for a public school. Although this is not an election law bill, if it passes, it may be easier to repeal similar California election laws in the near future. SB 1322 passed the Assembly Education Committee on a party-line vote, with all Republicans on that committee voting “No.”
