The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted in favor to waive citizenship requirements for Los Angeles County.
The motion was authored by Chair Hilda L. Solis, and co-authored by Sheila Kuehl.
“Los Angeles County is a community of immigrants from each corner of the world,” said Chair Hilda Solis in a. “And while our County-government workforce reflects the community it represents, there is room for improvement. This motion seeks to make clear that the County, as one of the largest employers in the region, strives to be an inclusive and diverse workforce, and is committed to not excluding nor allowing citizenship to be a barrier to employment.
The U.S. citizen requirement will remain in place for applicants for Los Angeles County Sheriff Department or any peace officers hired by the county.
