Legislation

Every year, CARA sponsors and takes positions on several bills. We prioritize bills that will directly impact our members and communities.

Bill Positions are taken through a majority vote by our legislative committee, which is open to any individual members or members from an organization that has paid their yearly affiliation dues.

A group of people stands on the steps of a government building at a press conference or rally advocating for affordable medication. A large banner in the background reads “PEOPLE > PROFITS,” and several individuals hold signs that say “LOWER DRUG PRICES NOW!” and “PEOPLE OVER PROFITS.” A man at the podium speaks into a microphone, standing behind a sign supporting California Assembly Bill 824, which aims to reduce drug costs.
