Steinberg Announces Senate Committee Chairs

Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg announced committee chair assignments for the new session this past week.
 
Steinberg changed the structure of several standing committees.  The Revenue & Taxation and Local Government committees were merged, forming the Senate Committee on Governance and Finance.  The new committee will be chaired by Senator Lois Wolk (D-Davis).
 
The Banking, Finance and Insurance Committee was divided into two committees, with Senator Juan Vargas (D-San Diego) chairing Banking and Finance and Senator Ron Calderon (D-Montebello) at the helm of the Insurance Committee.
 
The assignments are set to be confirmed at a Rules Committee hearing on Jan. 12. Full committee assignments are expected within a week.
