Californians United for a Responsible Budget (CURB)
🚨 Big News! AB 2178 (Ting) just passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee! 🎉
🏛️ Next up: The Appropriations Committee!
📉 What’s AB 2178? According to the LAO, by 2028, the State could have nearly 19,000 empty prison beds, about one-fifth of the state’s total prison capacity. Assemblymember Ting (D) has introduced a bill aimed at ensuring state prisons do not maintain this excessive empty bed capacity at taxpayer expense. AB 2178 promotes a more efficient and cost-effective use of taxpayer money by eliminating surplus bed capacity, potentially saving billions and paving the way for closing prisons.
🤝 Why does CURB support it? By not squandering resources on excessive prison capacity, we can better direct funds to community-based services that enhance safety and support those who need it most. This bill is a sensible step towards our goal of closing 10 state prisons.
👀 Stay tuned and join us in watching this bill progress! #YesOnAB2178 #AB2178 #ClosePrisonsSaveBillions
📅 Follow us @curbprisons for updates and find out how you can help make a difference!
