How a 12-year-old Girl Scout is helping shape a California heat safety bill

On Monday, a 12-year-old Girl Scout helped shape proposed Assembly Bill 1653 to teach heat-illness recognition, Rubio said on KCRA 3.
Her childhood experience with a record-breaking heat wave and a broken school cafeteria AC led Rubio to advocate for heat illness education in a proposed California bill.
The bill would have the Instructional Quality Commission consider adding heat-illness content during the Health Framework revision, Rubio said she wants all students in California taught the signs of heat illness and how to respond.
Supporters are being asked to submit support letters following a required format for Assembly Bill 1653, which will be heard on Wednesday, and Rubio might testify if the measure is on consent.
Beyond this bill, the effort has drawn attention at the state Capitol and showcases youth empowerment that could impact statewide school safety policies.
