AB 385 would have required CAPS and
the state to survey the salaries of state scientists and
their colleagues working in other government sectors to
help policy makers understand the threat low state
scientists’ wages pose to essential state programs. AB
385 won the support of an array of environmental,
public health, and industry stakeholders because they
understand that substandard state scientific salaries
threaten California’s vital environmental and public
health programs. |
