Bill Summary · AJR 11

Legislative bill overview

AJR 11 is a joint resolution that has been enacted into law (Chapter 84, Statutes of 2025) addressing federal funding cuts to California's Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program. The bill passed with unanimous support in the California Senate (35-0) and has completed the legislative process through enrollment and filing with the Secretary of State.

Why is this important

The BRIC program provides federal disaster mitigation and resilience funding for local infrastructure projects. Federal funding cuts to this program could reduce California's capacity to prepare for and recover from natural disasters, potentially affecting community safety investments, wildfire prevention, flood control, and infrastructure hardening across the state.

Potential points of contention

  • Federal-state relationship: Whether California should formally object to federal funding reductions or work through federal advocacy channels
  • Budget priorities: Questions about what state or local funding should backfill any reduced federal contributions
  • Program scope: Unclear whether the resolution calls for restoration of specific funding levels or broader advocacy for program preservation
