Assembly Concurrent Resolution 80 of the 2009–10 Regular Session states the Legislature's support for a Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of California that resolves to invest in all children and youth in order to achieve specified goals, including having safe and healthy environments. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to the needs and well-being of children and youth in California. The bill would create, until November 30, 2024, the Joint Legislative Committee on Children and Youth, with 18 members appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules and the Speaker of the Assembly, as specified.
