California AB1600 directs the California Environmental Protection Agency to identify disadvantaged farmworker communities for investment.

California AB1600 amends the Health and Safety Code to task the California Environmental Protection Agency with identifying disadvantaged communities, including farmworker communities, for investment opportunities. These communities must be located in areas with a significant presence of agricultural workers and be disproportionately exposed to environmental pollutants. The bill outlines specific criteria for identifying these communities and mandates the agency to assess potential barriers to investment opportunities, develop engagement strategies, and hold public workshops.
