Senate passes 349 million school finance bill in Sacramento
The Senate approved a 349 million school finance bill by a 26-4 vote, but sponsor Sen. Albert Rodda says its fate in the Assembly is bleak. The measure would be funded from the state budget surplus and federal revenue sharing with no tax increases or property tax relief. Rodda called it a catchup to Serrano, while Moretti remains focused on a combined tax shift and school finance bill. A conference panel continues work on a 1.2 billion tax chief school finance measure backed by Moretti and Reagan.

Compromise on wild river bills in California reaches accord
In Sacramento a pact between Gov. Reagan and authors of rival wild river bills ends in a 12 year moratorium on dam construction on the Eel River. Sen. Behr and Sen. Collier say the agreement creates essentially the same measure and could lead to Reagan signing one bill. The Eel River battle marks the focal point of the compromise.

California and other states face federal preemption unless workmen's compensation programs are improved. Dr John F Burton Jr chair of the National Commission urged a thorough review of California laws to boost benefits for injured workers while noting California is ahead of others. Commission member William J Moshofsky called many benefit applications end up in court and urged state agencies to act. Peevey said California should expand weekly benefits and extend coverage to domestics like New Jersey.
