Controversial Adult Education Bill Killed by Assembly Group
Sacramento notes the Assembly education committee rejected a restrictive adult education bill after three hours of debate. Senator Harold T. Johnson argued the measure aimed to cut frills and boost elementary funding, but an 11 to 4 vote prevented sending it to the floor. The bill faced opposition from critics who warned it would raise local taxes in poor districts while restricting state aid for certain adult education activities. The measure’s financial features remain under consideration in related legislation approved by the Senate finance committee.
