"labelTerm": {},
"content": "\u003cp>California saw its biggest increase in registered lobbyists last session since at least 2011, when a change in the law caused the number to more than double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a roughly 10% increase in the number of lobbyists who registered for the 2023–24 session compared to the previous one — for a record of 3,245 people, according to the Secretary of State’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s behind the jump? Longtime lobbyist Chris Micheli sees it as the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-legislature-great-resignation/\">result of high turnover in the Legislature\u003c/a> — leading to an “exodus of legislative staff” who went into advocacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what was dubbed the Great Resignation of 2022, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/01/california-legislature-great-resignation/\">26 members opted out of seeking reelection\u003c/a>, in addition to the seven who reached term limits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Micheli said he has also seen a rise in state agency rule-making, which motivates those in support of or against regulations to lobby: “Some of these regulatory bodies, like the Air Resources Board — the number of regulations that they’re undertaking and their significance has been growing in recent years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the number of legislative staff has shifted only slightly since the mid-1990s, according to data from the National Conference of State Legislatures. The staff count can impact how much time members have to write and research legislation. The increase in lobbyists means there’s now at least one lobbyist for every staff member, compared to two staffers per lobbyist back in 1995, the earliest data available from the Secretary of State’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that the number of registered lobbyists has risen so high and outstrips the number of actual staffers that legislators have to help them with people’s work shows how skewed our system has become towards the interests of wealthy interests that also dominate campaign spending, rather than regular people,” emailed Trent Lange, executive director of California Clean Money Campaign — an advocacy group that aims to combat the influence of money on politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lobbyists are required to register with the Secretary of State’s office, and report on their activities each quarter. That’s according to the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/about-fppc/about-the-political-reform-act.html\">Political Reform Act\u003c/a>, which passed in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal in 1974 in an effort to combat political corruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law defines lobbyists as those who are paid to influence legislation or regulation through direct communication with lawmakers, outside of public comments. They can be hired as contractors by companies, or work to influence policy as an employee, although those who spend less than one-third of their time lobbying don’t have to register.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers and those who work for state agencies legally \u003ca href=\"https://www.fppc.ca.gov/about-fppc/about-the-political-reform-act.html#:~:text=One%2DYear%20%22Revolving%20Door%22\">must wait one year after leaving state jobs\u003c/a> before working as lobbyists. Legislative staff do not have that requirement.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12005909,news_12016262,news_12017043\"]The recent jump in new lobbyists was the \u003ca href=\"https://capitolweekly.net/california-sees-big-drop-in-number-of-registered-lobbyists/\">highest since 2011\u003c/a>, when a law signed by then-Gov.

The staff count can impact how much time members have to write and research legislation.

That’s when, according to a CalMatters analysis, around 560 people, largely students and faculty, faced discipline or arrests. Some student protesters erected tents and other structures that remained on campus for several days or, in some cases, multiple weeks before universities intervened. In light of legal actions and pressure from lawmakers, campus administrators are tightening enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think students are still definitely riled up and ready to have their voice heard,” said Aditi Hariharan, president of the University of California Student Association. “Whenever they take steps to share their voice, I think the administration takes an opposing step and is trying to push them back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some students and faculty are still facing charges related to last academic year’s demonstrations.

James Gutierrez, the attorney representing the arrested students, said he asked that the college drop charges against its students, citing their right to protest the use of paid tuition dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are righteously demanding that their colleges, the ones they pay tuition to and housing fees and pour a lot of money into, that that university or college stop investing in companies that are directly supporting this genocide and indirectly supporting it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Students fight back against campus protest policies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As administrators face the challenge of applying protest policies more uniformly and swiftly, the truer test of California public higher education institutions’ protest rules will be playing out in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one already resolved case, UC leadership agreed in August to comply with a court order requiring the campus to end programs or events that exclude Jewish students. A federal judge ruled some Jewish students in support of Israel who were blocked from entering the encampment had their religious liberties violated — though some Jewish students did participate in UCLA’s protest encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, students have filed at least two lawsuits against their campuses and the UC system for violating their rights while ending student encampments last spring. In September, ACLU NorCal filed suits against the UC and UC Santa Cruz for not providing students due process when they immediately barred arrested students from returning to campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those students should have gotten a hearing, an opportunity to defend themselves or to explain themselves, and the school would have shown evidence of why they created a risk of disturbance on campus,” Chessie Thacher, senior staff attorney at ACLU of Northern California, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Santa Cruz spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason said the university “appreciates the court’s careful deliberation” and that the university “is committed to upholding the right to free expression while also protecting the safety of its campus community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, ACLU SoCal filed lawsuits on behalf of two students and two faculty members against the UC and UCLA, alleging the actions the university took to break down the encampment violated their free speech rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez told CalMatters via email that the university would respond in court and that UCLA “fully supports community members expressing their First Amendment rights in ways that do not violate the law, our policies, jeopardize community safety, or disrupt the functioning of the university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The encampment that arose on campus this spring became a focal point for violence, a disruption to campus, and was in violation of the law,” Vazquez said in the email statement. “These conditions necessitated its removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

immigrant students are found are poor schools, they [had] a hard time meeting the very deep needs of the students,” Gandara said. “Even the students who were not from immigrant families were being affected by this because of the climate in the school, the climate in the classroom, and the concern for the other students who were more targeted. So it was having a devastating effect on the schools that most need help,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said legislation to beef up protections for immigrant students sends a message to those students that schools have their back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the really sad things that we heard from teachers was that oftentimes, their best students were giving up. Because the kids would say, ‘I don’t see that I have a future in this country. Why am I knocking myself out to try and go to college if I have no future?” Gandara said. “So if these young people hear that legislators and other people in the schools are really working on their behalf and are trying to protect them, I think that’s helpful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the number of schools surveyed by researchers at the Civil Rights Project at UCLA.
