In 1980, the State Legislature requested the
California Commission on Aging to develop a forum through which older Californians could
develop their legislative priorities.
The California Senior Legislature (CSL) was established in 1981. It is a nonpartisan, volunteer organization made up of 120 elected members.
The 40 Senior Senators and 80 Senior Assembly Members are elected by their peers (persons 60 years of age and older) to represent seniors throughout the State.
Each October, the CSL meets in Sacramento to convene a model legislative session in the chambers and hearing rooms of the State Capitol. The CSL members participate in hearing testimony, debating issues, and voting to approve or disapprove up to 120 legislative proposals.
Senior Legislators seek State lawmakers to author at least 10 of the Session's priority proposals. They then work throughout the year to ensure adoption of these measures.
The CSL is NOT funded by taxes, but by contributions.
The CSL operates under the rules of the Bagley-Keene Act of 2004.
