AB 338 Native American Monument in Capitol Park
Unveiling and Dedication Ceremony
This week in the kickoff to Native American Heritage Month, DGS was proud to take part in honoring Native Americans' legacy and heritage with the unveiling and dedication of a new monument of Miwok leader and cultural dancer William J. Franklin Sr.
The new monument is located in Capitol Park at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. DGS had the honor of taking part in the project's installation, which was set forth by Assembly Bill (AB) 338, authored by Assembly Member James C. Ramos. This project was the culmination of many efforts from various tribes, nontribal associations, the Legislature and Governor Gavin Newsom.
Next time you visit our State Capitol, be sure to visit the new monument.

Our department is proud to announce a major milestone. Started October 18, we're offering access to statewide contracts for zero-emission, fully electric school buses, aligning with California's Zero-Emission Vehicle Action Plan.
Thanks to a collaborative effort with urban and rural school districts, we have simplified and expedited the procurement process through use of these state contracts. There are four bus types, all with wheelchair access and a two-year telemetry package.
