Gun Owners of California is in the process of transitioning to a new legislative tracking service that we believe will provide greater content and usability.  It will permit you to communicate directly with your elected representatives and will also have the most current data on GOC positions and bill status reports.  As both the Senate and Assembly have adjourned until January 3, 2022, this page will remain blank until that time.  HOWEVER, should you wish to see the results of the first half of the 2021/22 session, check out GOC’s blog on the last minute legislative shenanigans as well as updates on what Governor Newsom signed HERE.  (see posts from Sept 22, Sept 29 and October 10).
