Investigation

A CalMatters investigation finds the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau hasn't fulfilled its promise to protect Californians, even as the state’s population ages.

Following a CalMatters investigation, a new judge has ordered Angelique Friend to stop hiring her husband’s companies with her clients’ money.

'The first thing that you do when you give an agent a gun and a badge and the authority over American people is to make sure that they follow the Constitution, period.'

The state Senate's hearing on driving laws was spurred by a CalMatters investigation into California's approach to deadly drivers.

‘There is either moral culpability or legal liability on them,' the Placer County DA said, 'and they are actively seeking to prevent that from being disclosed.'

California lawmakers created the Professional Fiduciaries Bureau to monitor self-dealing in the industry. Twenty years later, the bureau’s inaction in one case shows how conflicts of interest can continue for years with little consequence.

A bipartisan coalition of state lawmakers has introduced 10 bills, an unprecedented package designed to stop deadly drivers.

The Assembly proposals are part of a broader push at the Capitol to reform California's weak driving laws.

The DUI bill is intended to be the “tip of the spear” in a movement to address how California allows dangerous drivers to stay on the roads.

A diversion program created by the Legislature in 2020 has allowed some people charged with vehicular manslaughter to keep the case off of their driving record.
