Chair Sandoval called the 50th meeting to order, noted the webcast and closed captioning, and Rachel Langston (Senior Fair Employment and Housing Council staff) conducted roll call and confirmed seven council members present for the meeting. The chair announced public-comment procedures and how remote participants could participate.
The Civil Rights Council held its 50th meeting with departmental updates, a presentation from the newly formed Commission on the State of Hate, and two major rulemaking actions: the council advanced further modified text on criminal-history employment regulations to a new 15‑day comment period (with a narrow amendment) and authorized the start of rulemaking on regulations for automated decision systems in employment. Members also received updates on a long-running rewrite of Government Code section 11135 regulations and voted to form a strategic-planning subcommittee to set priorities for future council work.
