Let’s make summer road trips safe! As your child grows, their safety needs do too.

Double-check their safety seat to make sure it’s still the right fit!

“Protecting #PublicHealth protects all of us!”

Sen Megan Dahle: from ensuring clean drinking water to overseeing septic waste permits, the local REHS workforce keeps our communities safe and healthy. Unless CA fixes the training pipeline, we’ll lose this vital workforce. Yes on #AB1288!

Local Registered Environmental Health Specialists inspect restaurants, test drinking water, & manage hazardous waste.

#CALeg: REHS professionals are crucial to protect #PublicHealth, but we’re missing out on good candidates or losing them too soon. #AB1288 strengthens our workforce!
