Legislative & Policy Forum

Thursday, May 18, 2023
Long Beach Marriott
9:00 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Today is the last day to register online!

The CASH Legislative and Policy Forum will be held on May 18, 2023. With the release of the Governor’s May Revision to the 2023-24 State Budget last Friday, now is the perfect time to attend this forum and get the latest information on how it will affect funding for schools.

Along with a discussion from CASH's team of legislative advocates on the revisions presented by the Governor, and the status of AB 247 (Muratsuchi), the state school bond bill, the Forum will also feature an "IR EB-4 Interactive Studio.” The afternoon session will consist entirely of an exercise exploring the purpose and impacts of DSA IR EB-4 through the Interactive Studio.

Design practitioners including the State Architect, DSA leaders, school architects, a construction manager moderator, and others will review IR EB-4. This review will be through the lens of a review of plans for the modernization of an older school building with recognition of Title 24 requirements for bringing buildings up to code, if modernization plans exceed 50% replacement value of the building.

All Forum attendees will be encouraged to participate in the Interactive Studio by asking questions and offering comments.
