THE PATRIOT ACT: OTHER POST 9/11 ENFORCEMENT POWERS AND THE IMPACT ON
CALIFORNIA'S MUSLIM COMMUNITIES - The purpose of the study is to get a glimpse
of how the PATRIOT Act and other post-9/11 enforcement powers have affected
California's Muslim communities. When Congress considers revisions to the Act
and some of the other anti-terrorism policies, it's important that members of
the Legislature step back and take a careful look at the real impact these laws
have on people's lives. This analysis does that from a California perspective.
The study examines the Act, the changes in immigration rules for visa holders
from predominately Muslim countries, new rules calling for closer scrutiny of
foreign students and scholars, and the nexus between California state and local
law enforcement agencies and the federal government in its terrorist-
investigation role. It concludes with personal examples of how post-9/11
enforcement powers have affected the lives of some California residents. (Stock

PROP 54 "PROHIBITION AGAINST CLASSIFYING BY RACE, STATE & OTHER PUBLIC ENTITIES
INITIATIVE": IMPACTS ON HEALTH, LAW ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION, & HUMAN RIGHTS OF
CALIFORNIANS - A Joint hearing held before the Senate and Assembly Judiciary
Committees held in compliance with the Elections Code. The supporters of Prop
54 state that their goal with this initiative is to create a "color-blind
society", where these characteristics are irrelevant. The opponents say that in
fact, that goal will never be achieved if the state is not allowed to classify
individuals according to those categories when providing public education,
entering into public contracts, or employing workers. The goal of this hearing
is to have a constructive airing of the issues raised by Prop 54. (Stock #1224-
