Hello,

My name is _______, I [live, work or have a business] in Assembly member_____district. I strongly oppose SB 1479, perpetual COVID testing programs in schools, with no end date. The financial costs to the state could be close to $1 billion per year. This is wasteful spending for a infection that is now endemic. I demand that the Assembly member vote NO or ABSTAIN on SB 1479.

Thank you.
