RECEIVE STATE FUNDING FOR FILM PROJECT WITH CESAR CHAVEZ SERVICE CLUBS, INC. (DISTRICTS: ALL)
Body
OVERVIEW
The 2024 Legislative Program was approved and adopted by the Board of Supervisors on December 5, 2023. The 2024 Legislative Program included key legislative initiatives, priorities, and policy guidelines.
