A prominent lawmaker is trying to get the California Legislature to rethink policymaking by creating a committee to study how to make people happier.
SACRAMENTO -- California Assemblyman Anthony Rendon likes to spend his spare time away from the Capitol in Sacramento with his 4-year-old daughter back home near Los Angeles. Last weekend, he took her ice skating and to an indoor playground, then let her get a doughnut after she agreed to ride her scooter on the way there.
The committee isn't set on any solutions yet but plans to release a report with its findings after lawmakers adjourn for the year at the end of August, said Katie Talbot, Rendon's spokesperson.Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo, a Democrat representing part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County, hopes the committee's work can address poor mental health among youth in California, which her 11-year-old daughter has told her is a big issue in her class at school.
