Governor Gavin Newsom signed three bills to support Los Angeles' preparation to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, providing $7 million in new state investment for the event.
The legislation was signed at Exposition Park in front of Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which will serve as the primary Olympic venue. The Coliseum will become the first venue ever to host three different Summer Olympic Games.
Assembly Bill 2411 requires the Governor's Office of Emergency Services to negotiate agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies for temporary deployment to support public safety during the Games. The bill also establishes a temporary training program through the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training for out-of-state law enforcement personnel assisting with security.
Assembly Bill 2436 extends a current exemption allowing Team USA student athletes training in California to receive resident tuition classification at state universities.
Assembly Bill 191 implements temporary statutory amendments to ensure successful delivery of the Games.
The $7 million announced joins a $96.5 million investment made earlier in the summer to upgrade and modernize Exposition Park. Economists project the Games will generate between $20.5 billion and $40.6 billion in total economic output and support between 126,000 and 224,000 jobs.
