Notice of Meeting
UPDATED WITH LOCATION CHANGE

On Thursday, June 20, 2019, the Little Hoover Commission will conduct a public hearing to revisit critical issues raised in past studies and understand the effectiveness of the Commission’s recommendations. The hearing will begin at 9:30 a.m. in Room 447 of the State Capitol in Sacramento.

The hearing will revisit the Commission’s 2006 report, Safeguarding the Golden State: Preparing for Catastrophic Events, where it recommended consolidating the Office of Emergency Services and the Office of Homeland Security into a single cabinet-level agency, led by an experienced leader appointed by the Governor. The Commission also will reexamine recommendations made in its 2012 report, Serving Students, Serving California: Updating the California Community Colleges to Meet Evolving Demands, to foster measurable student progress in three core areas of study. There will be an opportunity for public comment at the end of the hearing. Public comments will be limited to three minutes per person. The Commission also encourages written comments.

The Commission endeavors to broadcast its hearings live, but this is dependent on the availability of Assembly TV the day of the hearing. Live broadcasts can be viewed on The California Channel at http://www.calchannel.com/live-webcast/. The hearing will be video-recorded and will be made available on The California Channel’s archives at the following link: http://www.calchannel.com/video-on-demand/.

Immediately following the hearing, the Commission will hold a business meeting in Room 175 at 925 L Street in Sacramento.
