Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation authored by Senator Hannah Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) to require gender diversity on corporate boards. The bill is a California Legislative Women’s Caucus priority.

The Governor signed three of Senator Jackson's bills authored in response to the Thomas Fire and Montecito debris flow. SB 1260 helps reduce wildfire risk, SB 821 ensures residents are enrolled in emergency alerts, and SB 917 helps homeowners recover mudslides losses.

Governor Brown has signed Senator Jackson's SB 834, which effectively blocks a federal expansion of offshore oil drilling in California waters.

Joined by lawmakers, advocates, and families, Senator Jackson urged passage of her bills to close the gender and race wage gap and combat sexual harassment in the workplace.

Governor Brown signed legislation by Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson to prevent domestic violence homicides by training law enforcement officers to identify domestic abuse victims whose lives are in danger and connect them with local support services.

Recognizing her work to address pesticides, protect marine wildlife, block new offshore oil, and keep pharmaceuticals out of our water, Green California recently honored Senator Jackson as a bold environmental leader.
