California creates reparations study bureau and funds descendant verification, but vetoes key reform bills.
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed bills creating a bureau to study reparations and allocating $6 million to verify descendants of enslaved people, a step toward addressing historical injustice.
However, he vetoed five related bills from the Legislative Black Caucus’ “Road to Repair” agenda, including measures for college admissions preferences and home loan access, citing fiscal, legal, and redundancy concerns.
While some praise the bureau as a historic milestone, critics say the vetoes delay meaningful reparative action.
Lawmakers plan to regroup and pursue alternative approaches, as the governor’s cautious stance leaves major reforms to his successor.
