Assemblymember Dr. Corey Jackson Introduces First Bill to Address Cost of Living in California
Sacramento - According to the U.S. Census Bureau, California's cost of living has contributed to a higher percentage of residents living in poverty than any other state in the nation. Identifying sustainable solutions to reduce the cost of living in California is critical to the long-term financial health of our working-class communities. AB 11, introduced by Assemblymember Dr. Corey Jackson, aims to find these solutions by 2026 through an Affordable California Commission. The goal of the commission shall be to study the causes and effects of the rising cost of living in California and to develop solutions toward making California a more affordable place to live.
