   Existing law establishes various social service programs that

specified welfare-to-work activities.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to adopt a work-placement or internship program to
receive welfare benefits from the State of California.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
