Notes for each of the above bills for your information

AB 572 (Kalra), the California Deforestation-free Procurement Act will require that any company selling tropical-forest risk commodities, such as soy, coffee, palm oil, or beef, will have in place a "No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation" policy in place to ensure the government of California is a consumer of only sustainable harvested tropical forest commodities.

AB 1260 (Maienschein), will add hippos, caiman, and several lizard species which are used in the exotic skin trade to a list of animals which are already banned for sale in the state of California. Please note, this is only for dead animals. This bill does not effect sales of live animals.

AB 733 (Quirk), will authorize and direct the California Department of Toxic Substances Control to change the current hazardous waste test, which requires thousands of fish be killed, to a more compassionate fish embryo test.

AB 479 (Nazarian), the California School Plant-based Food and Beverage Program, will incentivize K-12 schools to serve plant-based meals and beverages by giving .20 and .10 cent reimbursements, respectively, up to a statewide total of $3,000,000. Grant priority will go to local educational agencies with the largest percentage of pupils eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches.
