Senator Caballero presented Senate Resolution 119 to celebrate California's paleontological heritage and the role of science in understanding the planet’s history. The sponsor described fossil finds across the state and linked paleontology education to STEM workforce development.

In floor remarks, Caballero said the resolution underscores the importance of supporting scientific research and education.
