California AB449 would create antidiscrimination campaigns through the Civil Rights Department.

California AB449 adds Section 12931.5 to the Government Code, establishing a working group exempt from the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. This group, with members appointed by the director, Assembly Speaker, and Senate President pro Tempore, will develop plans for statewide and regional campaigns against discrimination. The campaigns, targeting various protected characteristics, will be funded through appropriations. The percentage of ads for specific communities will be based on hate crime rates from the most recent report by the Attorney General.
