What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill authorizes the employment of one paid intern in each assembly office
and up to two paid interns in each senate office. Each intern must be at least 18 years
old, be enrolled in an institution of higher education, and come from a household
whose income does not exceed 300 percent of the federal poverty line based on family
size. Under the bill, each intern must be paid a stipend of at least $15 per hour, which
may be paid for up to 20 hours per week of work for work performed during certain
periods set forth in the bill that correspond to the academic school year. Under the
bill, the stipend is required to be disregarded in establishing household income for
purposes of obtaining public benefits under any state program.
