California Senior Legislature (CSL)

Who are they? And what do they do?
It seems logical that seniors would know best what other seniors need
in order to sustain a healthy and safe lifestyle. This is the focus of the
California Senior Legislature. Some facts about the CSL:
 Since establishment in 1979, over 300 legislative proposals have
been submitted to the State legislature; 139 of these have been
signed into law by the governor.
 CSL responsible for: AB918-Mobilize paratransit and first responders
to move disabled and seniors to safety; SB1047 Silver Alert (like
Amber Alert); SB1018 Banks mandated to report financial abuse
 CSL is a state entity, but does not receive funding from the state.
The CSL has done remarkable work to protect our aging
population. We urge the public to support the CSL by making a tax
deductible contribution on the state income tax return, under Code
402! It is listed as “California Fund for Senior Citizens” The 120 senior
senators and senior assembly members representing all of California
are grateful for the support received from citizens of our State. You
can find more information about the CSL as well as a list of all of our
state representatives at www.4csl.org.
This is Side 4 of Form 540, for filing the State Income Tax. Code 402 says
California Fund for Senior Citizens, but is actually where a donation can be
made to the California Senior Legislature. Fill in the tax deductible amount
you wish to contribute on Form 540!
