Bill would protect immigrant children from President-elect Donald Trump's stated plan for mass deportationsTorrance, CA – Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance), Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, introduced Assembly Bill 49, a bill that would protect immigrant children from actions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who enter school sites or child care facilities. The bill would prohibit school or child care employees from allowing ICE officers to enter a school site or child care facility for any purpose without providing valid identification, a written statement of purpose, a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district's superintendent or director of the child care center. The bill also would require that if an ICE official meets the requirements to enter a school site or child care facility, their access would be restricted to school or child care facilities where students or children are not present."All children have a constitutional right to attend public schools, regardless of immigration status," stated Assemblymember Muratsuchi. "Unfortunately, the threat of federal immigration officials coming onto school grounds to detain undocumented students or family members casts a shadow of fear over all California students. Students cannot learn if they are living in fear of being deported or separated from their family members. This bill is necessary because children should not be afraid to come to school, and parents should not be afraid to send their children to school."As during his first term, there is an increased fear of raids by ICE officials at schools and child care centers as President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to deport millions of undocumented immigrants across the United States. President-elect Trump has also threatened to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. According to the California State Superintendent of Public Instruction's office, this closure would risk around $8 billion in federal funds for California programs serving students with disabilities and low-income students.Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi represents California's 66th Assembly District, which includes El Segundo, Gardena, Hermosa Beach, Lomita, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates, San Pedro and Torrance. Muratsuchi is Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on Aerospace, and a member of the Committees on Budget, Budget Subcommittee on Education, Higher Education, Natural Resources, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies.

With certain exceptions, unfinished business “dies” on the Order Paper and must be started anew in a subsequent session. Bills which have not received Royal Assent before prorogation are “entirely terminated” and, in order to be proceeded with in the new session, must be reintroduced as if they had never existed.116 On occasion, however, bills are reinstated at the start of a new session at the same stage they had reached at the end of the previous session. This is accomplished either with the unanimous consent of the House117 or through the adoption of a motion to that effect, after notice and debate.118 The House has also adopted provisional amendments to the Standing Orders to carry over legislation to the next session following a prorogation. Since 2003, prorogation has had almost no practical effect on Private Members' Business.120 As a result of this significant exception to the termination of business principle, the List for the Consideration of Private Members' Business established at the beginning of a Parliament, all bills that originate in the House of Commons and all motions in the Order of Precedence, as well as those outside of it, continue from session to session.121 If consideration of an item at a certain stage had begun but had not been completed, the item is restored at the beginning of that stage, as if no debate had yet occurred. Private Members' bills that were referred to a committee in the previous session are deemed referred back to the same committee. Private Members' bills which have been read a third time and passed are sent again to the Senate.122 With dissolution, all business of the House is terminated. The Speaker, the Deputy Speaker and the members of the Board of Internal Economy continue in office for the acquittal of certain administrative duties until they are replaced in a new Parliament.143 For the purposes of certain allowances payable to them, Members of the House of Commons at the time of dissolution are deemed to remain so until the date of the general election.144 Members' offices, both in Ottawa and in their constituencies, remain open in order to allow Members and their staff to provide services to constituents.145 As the office budget for Members is drawn from public funds, Members' offices and staff may not be used for electoral purposes. All items on the Order Paper including government and private Members' bills die.146 The government's obligation to provide answers to written questions, to respond to petitions or to produce papers requested by the House also ends with dissolution.147 The government must wait until the new Parliament is in session before tabling any document that is required pursuant to an act, resolution or Standing Order. Committees cease to exist until the House reconstitutes them following the election. All orders of reference expire, and the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of all committees cease to hold office. The government is no longer required to provide responses to committee reports. The executive committees of interparliamentary associations carry over from one Parliament to another. However, as a general rule, the activities being organized by the associations are postponed during a dissolution. Since multilateral assemblies continue to meet, Canada's representation is usually ensured by Senators.148 Once an election has been held and prior to the start of a new Parliament, both Senators and re-elected Members may participate.

On today's episode, we're joined by Tina Murphy, Principal, and Daniel Rodda, Partner, at Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC. Daniel and Tina outline five essential agenda topics that compensation committees should consider adding to their calendars for 2025. These strategies focus on optimizing executive compensation practices, addressing shareholder concerns and ensuring long-term alignment with corporate goals.Key Takeaways:(02:49) Committees should add pay analysis, say on pay prep, share plan reviews, charter updates and program audits to 2025 agendas.(05:04) Realizable pay aligns pay with performance; holding power supports long-term retention and shareholder interests.(11:36) Modeling tests and addressing disclosure concerns reduce risks of negative say on pay recommendations.(17:31) Equity usage analyses balance talent strategy, shareholder interests and program sustainability.(21:32) Annual equity reviews track effectiveness; peer benchmarking can be periodic based on industry needs.(23:01) Annual charter reviews and human capital focus align committees with governance priorities.(26:48) Holistic audits keep compensation programs competitive, strategic and best-practice aligned.(29:11) Regular audits address regulatory changes and ensure severance plans and stock guidelines stay competitive.Resources Mentioned:Tina Murphy -https://www.linkedin.com/in/tina-murphy-8a63ab8/Daniel Rodda -https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-rodda-756b2b/Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC -https://www.linkedin.com/company/meridian-compensation-partners-llc/This episode is brought to you by Meridian Compensation Partners, LLC.

Committee assignments are out and now we know exactly what Sen Bo Biteman gave up to become Senate President. 7 out of 10 committees are now controlled by liberal Redcoats. The worst one is a pro-choice senator is now the chairman of the committee that handles pro-life legislation.
In the SLP space alone, there are over 300 kinds of certifications you can achieve in your professional development journey. While certifications are completely optional and a personal decision based on your goals and current work situation, there are certain standards to consider when browsing your options. One question to ask yourself is: “Is this certification accredited OR undergoing the accreditation process?” Creating an accredited certification program is not something one can randomly do or purchase. I know…who would have thought?! Accreditation is a rigorous, lengthy, and comprehensive process with multiple levels of accountability, subject matter experts, and psychometric methods. And the MSLP-C™ Certification is months away from being accredited! Friends, this was a pro cess. We have shared a TON about the “why” behind this certification. In this week's podcast we discuss the “how”! Lori Morgan, PhD, CCC-SLP and Manny Straehle, PhD - a psychometrician (and data wizard, in my opinion) - join me to dive into the nitty gritty about the accreditation & certifying exam process for the MSLP™ Certification including: how accreditation works why we need a psychometrician on the team why and how a certification exam is created (THIS was a doozy!!) the process of item-writing, research, and verification what the overall goal is with this optional certification. Tune in and prepare to be blown away by how much work was done to ensure we are offering the highest quality certification program available to medical SLPs!

Ben Franklin's World Revisited is a series where Liz surfaces one of our earlier episodes that complements and adds additional perspectives to the histories we discuss in our new episodes. Given the conversation we just had in Episode 396 about Carpenters' Hall & the First Continental Congress, Liz would like to offer you an episode she produced in 2017 as part of our Doing History: To the Revolution series. Episode 153: Committees and Congresses: Governments of the American Revolution, furthers the discussion we just had about the First Continental Congress by helping us investigate how the American revolutionaries formed governments as imperial rule in British North American disintegrated and the American Revolution turned to war.
“Monday, September 5, 1774. A number of the Delegates chosen and appointed by the Several Colonies and Provinces in North America to meet and hold a Congress at Philadelphia assembled at the Carpenters' Hall.” That statement begins the Journals of the Continental Congress, the official meeting minutes of the First and Second Continental Congresses. Between September 1774 and March 1789, the congressmen filled 34-printed volumes worth of entries. Join Michael Norris, the Executive Director of the Carpenters' Company of the City and County of Philadelphia, for a tour of Carpenters' Hall, the meeting place of the First Continental Congress, and discover more about this historic building and the historic work of the First Continental Congress.
