especially they're working in their individual capacity. But, Mr. Speaker, permission to read?

But this bill is not that. This bill is a Trojan horse using a good program to add bad safeguards for what a lot of people in not only the state of California, but across the United States is seeing today that is one of their number one issues. fraud and corruption and the weaponization of what's happened in our government, especially when it includes nonprofits, non-governmental organizations, and what they're doing with our money. As we say, we're using this bill in an attempt to protect immigration support services. In the bill itself, the definition, as I read it to you verbatim, designated immigration support services means services provided to the immigrant population including but not limited to legal representation, legal assistance, advocacy, case management, humanitarian relief, immigration support, referrals. But the definition of what a designated immigration support service provider is expanded beyond just employees and volunteers. It includes nonprofit organizations with no limitations. It includes any facility deemed to be protected by the Attorney General. That is what makes this bill different, the broadening of the definitions. But not only that, in the Safe at Home program as well, they do not, do not include posting online. It is a verifiable fact that we have fraud in our system, that they have identified in multiple organizations across the entire state of California. We alone, on three cases, found over a quarter billion dollars in fraud.

This talk's about posting. and that is... If you're talking about posting, let's talk about posting. That's very different than what you were just talking about. Let's stay to the merits of this bill please Well again in the merits of the bill when it comes to talking about posting these facilities if you read the definition itself it looks like we adding safeguards to cover up Instead of going after fraud, corruption, we are going after the ability to post that online. And again, as we read it, designated immigration support services as a definition means a facility where immigration support services provided, including but not limited to, to nonprofit organizational offices, Department of Justice recognized entities, community legal clinics, law offices, accredited representative sites that provide immigration legal services. It is such a broad definition. This is a Trojan horse, a Trojan horse for an issue that a lot of Americans and Californians especially care about. They want us to find the problems, not add protections for bad actors. I respectfully ask for a no vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My colleague from Clovis emphasized the concern that people have with fraud and corruption in government. And so I just want to take this opportunity to talk about the $1.8 billion slush fund that President Trump is seeking to obtain for domestic terrorists and January 6th insurrectionists.

You betcha, absolutely. In regards to fraud and corruption of the government, the billion dollars that the President of the United States wants for his basement ballroom in Washington, D.C. are possibly the $400 million jet that the President of the United States has received from—

I'll squeeze it to the merits of the bill. Thank you.

You betcha my apologies. So I would encourage everyone to vote for AB 2624, which is a good bill that has nothing to do with the disingenuous arguments coming from the other side. Thank you.

I rise in support of AB 2624. Since it's already been mentioned, I won't talk about the federal government and their fraud. I will stick to the merits of the bill. Permission to read?

Just recently, there was an LA Times article that came out about our organizations that are providing some of the services that are being given to our communities who are currently being terrorized by this federal administration. The headlines read, death, threats, vandalism. LA immigrant right groups are in their fight for their lives. We are in our fight for our lives. And that is why I rise in support of AB 2624. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise in support of AB 2624, and I do so because I think it's important for us to recognize that it's a shared value that the government not engage in fraud, waste, and abuse, that that is something that is a bipartisan effort, a bipartisan belief, and in fact, our own Attorney General, Attorney General Bonta, just this year was the one who stopped a $267 million hospice ring in the Central Valley. So our top law enforcement agent is on top of that issue, and he is the one who should be ensuring there is no fraud, and we should absolutely be giving him the powers to do so. But there's a difference between that and doxing individuals who are trying to serve our communities. And so the legitimate press has for a long time been out there showing when things need to be aired, the press and journalism is such an important American value because yes, we need them to be showing us where we aren't seeing everything all the time, but never do we need journalists to be doxing the people who are serving their communities. And we can do both at the same time. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on AB 2624. Thank you. Assemblymember

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I want to thank my colleagues for speaking in support of this bill and recognizing that we are at a pivotal moment in our history when we actually need to do the unthinkable, which is to ensure that those who are protecting our most vulnerable actually have an opportunity to be protected in the work that they do. It is unconscionable to think that we are in a space and a time right now when those who are protecting our immigrant providers, and yes, those immigrant support providers can exist in nonprofits and in advocacy organizations and in law offices and be designated by the Attorney General to be recognized as a group that can do so. That's part of what we are fighting for today, ensuring that those individuals have the ability to be protected with this shield law that has been in place for 30 years. I really, really, really wish that our colleagues who have taken an opposition to this bill and who have spoken out on this bill would do us all the favor of increasing their reading comprehension skills. You know, we often cite this language and you offer permission to read from this legislation. The reality is that this bill regulates posting of personal information or image online.

I am going to respectfully ask we keep from disparaging.

Point of order.

I'm going to respectfully ask we keep from disparaging our other members on this floor.

It was a wish. Back to my point. I, if we were to actually take the privilege of reading from this, from any legislation, to fully understand the intent and the specifics of legislation in this bill, you would have to read on past the point where the commenters in opposition the opposition decided to stop reading. You would have to read on to see that this posting is regulated online only when there is specific intent to incite violence or threaten someone, only when there is specific intent to threaten the designated immigration support services provider That is what we are focused on So I want investigative journalists to be able to do their job to make sure that we are operating and using the resources that we have effectively in the state of California. And I also want us to be able to have a forthright protection around the First Amendment. I also want us to make sure that when we are talking about the First Amendment and these so-called postings and the conflict that they have with this bill, that they are doing so recognizing that there is a specific intent to cause harm that is outlined in this. This bill has received a lot of energy. A lot of hurt has come from this bill for immigration support providers across the state of California. Our colleagues have been subject to misinformation campaigns, and so that we can set the record straight in this moment in time, as I respectfully ask for your aye votes, I will close by saying despite those misinformation campaigns, this bill is very straightforward. it allows us to be able to extend a 30-year-old safe-at-home program to those who are serving our very vulnerable communities and who need to be able to do so in unsafe conditions right now and who need our protection. With that, I respectfully request your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1897 by Assemblymember Haney, an accolade to mentally disordered offenders.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 1897, Safe Releases for Mentally Disordered Offenders, which strengthens California's mentally disordered offenders evaluation process through evidence-based risk assessments and more efficient court proceedings. It's received bipartisan support. It will require the use of a widely recognized violence risk assessment tool while still allowing clinicians to use additional assessments they deem appropriate, which will help promote more transparent and evidence-based evaluations that are consistent between different state hospitals. It will also allow petitions to be heard in the county of commitment to state prison rather than being tied solely to the location of the treatment facility, helping improve efficiency and reducing logistical burdens on the courts and parties involved. It passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee unanimously, and we took amendments to address concern raised by a number of groups and are continuing to work with the remaining groups that have concerns. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1990 by Assemblymember Gibson, an accolade in the healing arts.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 1990, which protects patients by ensuring compounded weight loss shots are safe, highly qualified, and honestly marketed. These medications were originally developed to treat type 2 diabetics and weight-related health conditions, but they have become widely popular even beyond their intended use. A vast number of people have recently turned to compounded versions of weight loss shots, which are not, and I repeat, not FDA approved and do not have the same requirements to ensure that the ingredients are tested for safety and impure or impured. Over the last several years, bad actors have exploited a patient's desire to lose weight and have flooded the marketplace with compounded weight loss shots that are unsafe. AB 1990 protects patients by increasing regulatory standards for compounded pharmacies who produce GLP-1 at commercial scales and ensure enforcement from the Board of Pharmacy. Permission to show a prop?

Members, this is what our young girls are being marketed on social media. This says, struggling with weight loss, GLP treatments backed by science made easy, affordable, effective, and delivered to your doors. Start your journey now. Hey, girly, hate needles by shedding weight loss. And this is what our girls are being targeted right now. It's a birthday cake. And this is what our young girls are being targeted on social media. And you see it popping up on Instagram, TikTok. And this is what our children are being lured into taking weight loss shots. And this bill will require that advertising of compounded drugs are truthful and clearly stated that this product is compounded drug is FDA approved. And what's taking place right now is that when you go to social media and when people are buying these drugs, they're not FDA approved. And this bill will make sure that, one, we put some guardrails around this marketplace. Patients deserve to know what they are injecting in their bodies are safe and regulated. And that's what this bill does. And this bill has received bipartisan support and committees. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 2009 by Assemblymember Chen and others, an appellating of public health.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. AB 2009 would modernize and update California's antiquated laws regulating source plasma donation centers where source plasma is donated for the purpose of manufacturing plasma-derived therapies. This bill updates the procedure to allow for operational continuity when a medical director departs the donation center and updates the exemptions. forms of identification, plasma donors may utilize to become a donor. This bill also utilizes physicians to assign pre-donation screening functions to other licensed health care practitioners acting within their scope of practice. With that, I respectfully ask for aye vote.

Clerk will read.

Assemblymember Ramos, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise to present AB 2018. 2018 provides essential clarification and updates to the missing persons DNA database program. to help reach its full potential. Since its enactment over 20 years ago, there have been significant advancements in scientific methods and resources. These updates are important in assisting the Department of Justice in identifying remains of unidentified people. This bill would strengthen the Department's ability to resolve missing persons cases, deliver answers to families, and remain a leader in this field. This modernization is especially important and urgent given the disproportionate numbers of missing persons impacted by the missing and murdered indigenous persons epidemic plaguing our state. Speaking within the context of the MMIP crisis, knowing that tribal communities can utilize the missing persons DNA database as a tool to potentially bring closure to one of the many steps this state is taking on this issue, We must utilize as many resources as possible, and this bill's goal is to assist the department as they work to modernize the program to contribute to the efforts of identifying missing persons and bring closure to missing and murdered indigenous persons crisis here in the state of California. I ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 2023 by Assemblymember Wicks and others in accolade to artificial intelligence.

2023, as any parent knows, our children have access to unlimited amounts of technology, and a lot of that technology is not tested, and we are learning, unfortunately, the hard way the harms that this technology can expose our children to. 72% of teens have used AI chatbots, half are regular users, and research shows that children are more likely to view AI chatbots as quasi-human and trust their input more than adults in their life, which can lead to obviously tragic results, as we've seen in some certain cases. Now, these tools can be helpful, but also the impacts can be very harmful to physical and mental health of our kids. So, building on the good work of my joint author from Arenda and some senators that we are working with in the other house, this bill will create a comprehensive framework for regulating chatbots by requiring age verification of users, which is building on the building blocks of what we voted on last year, our age signal bill which goes into effect January 1st of this next year, risk assessments which is critical, safeguards including default settings, parental control, noticing and measures to prevent suicidal ideation and self-harm, prohibitions against targeted advertising to children and selling or sharing children's information, and third party audits for compliance. These are basic guardrails for tools that our children are accessing, and with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members, and it's an honor to rise in support of AB 2023, a bill that Assemblymember from Oakland and I are doing jointly to protect California's children. And as many of you know, we actually passed off this floor last year, a bill of mine that would have created Safe by Design chatbots for children. Unfortunately, that bill was vetoed, and so we're back again with another attempt to make sure that we are protecting kids from the technology that is being placed in front of them. Since that time, a chatbot has been turned on in every single Google classroom in the state without schools even being notified those chatbots were being put in front of California's children. Right now, there is nothing to ensure that those chatbots are safe, that they don't hallucinate, that they don't addict our children, that they don't coach them to harm themselves. And so this bill is a basic framework that shifts our thinking from the days of social media where we said, try it out on our kids and we'll see what happens, to a day where we start to demand that when products are put in front of our children, just like a physical product, it is safe, and we know our kids can be utilizing it in a manner that will keep them responsible. When we presented this bill at a press conference, Adam Rain's mom came up, Maria Rain, to speak in support of the bill. And she told the story of her son, Adam, who lost his life when one of the chatbots coached him to take his own life. And to sit with her and hear every mom's worst nightmare and to know that so far not a single state in this nation, nor has the federal government, taken steps to prevent another child losing their lives at the hand of a chatbot is frankly shameful. And so with that, we will be leading the nation in ensuring our kids are safe and that the future is one where they get to explore technology in a way that parents can trust. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye bet.

Apologies, I was behind our colleague from our joint author from Orinda. And I wanted to just thank our joint authors from Orinda and Oakland for bringing forward this piece of legislation and offer this additional piece of information that I think is very important Our youth and children often talk about their interaction with chatbots and social media these days. And one of the things that they consistently say as we meet with them in our capacities, part of the children's caucus, which both of our members are, is that they would so much rather have a human in front of them to be able to interact with, give them advice and counsel. And this bill ensures that we have an opportunity to put the guardrails that we need to around, and arms around our children to be able to ensure that they are taken care of. So I wanna thank you for bringing forward again this bill. And this year, we shall hope that it will be signed.

Our number one job is to keep our community safe, and children are our number one priority, so with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2115 by Assemblymember Ramos and others, an accolade to state government and making an appropriation therefor.

Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I present AB 2115, which represents an official apology from the state of California to California's first people, acknowledging the legislature's role in historic injustices and atrocities committed against the state's Native American communities. The bill also serves as an apology from the state's courts for their participation in failure to prevent the systematic discrimination and violence committed against California tribal communities. since California statehood in 1850 and the legislature has yet to officially apologize for its own role in the early wars waged against California's first people with funding militias. The legislature enacted laws that authorized and funded the destruction of tribal nations across California, wiping out entire communities and condemning generations to a future marked by profound pain and suffering. We continue to see that suffering take place today. But also, back in those days, some lawmakers went even further by openly calling for the enslavement of the remaining natives by so-called responsible citizens. The history of violence against California's first people is unfortunately part of our state's legacy and continues to impact tribal communities to this day. Although the governor issued an apology on behalf of the state in 2019, this body, this institution, which enacted the laws that facilitated the removal and destruction of tribes, has never issued its own apology. AB 2115 intends to be acknowledgement of those harms and reaffirms the state commitment to ensuring such justices never occur again and promote the resiliency of California first people AB 2115 acknowledges the legislative actions and failures that inflicted profound pain and suffering onto California's first people, while also honoring their resiliency and spirit of survival. I ask for your aye vote.

21, Assembly Bill 2162 by Assemblymember Brian. The clerk will read.

Assemblymember Brian, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. I rise to present AB 2162. The federal government provides former foster youth housing vouchers up until the age of 24 that are then still good until the age of 28, four years after they've turned 24. The state has a housing navigation and maintenance program which helps coordinate former foster youth with using their vouchers and actually connecting to housing. But the age at which you age out of our coordinating services is sooner than your voucher expires. This brings parity between both the coordination services and the vouchers. These vouchers, by the way, have also been extended by the Trump administration. California should get this right, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Selma.

Assembly Bill 2206 by Assemblymember Fong, an act relating to teacher credentialing.

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker and members. Assembly Bill 2206 addresses the shortage of qualified career technical education for CTE teachers. According to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, 63% of CTE teachers are unprepared or lack the appropriate credential for the subject they are assigned to teach. Currently, only 19 educational entities are authorized to prepare CTE teachers for the classroom. AB 2206 seeks to expand this authorization by creating a pilot by which community colleges with CTE bachelor programs are able to offer CTE teacher preparation programs for the purpose of conferring CTE teaching credentials. This pilot will allow our community colleges to demonstrate they are able to offer quality post-bachelor degree programs while also addressing a critical workforce shortage. This bill has no no votes and respectfully asks for an aye vote.

Assembly vote 2208 by Assemblymember Stephanie and others, an act relating to Medi-Cal.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. This is a bill designed to protect Californians against the harmful provisions of H As the big ugly bill threatens the Medi status of up to 2 million Californians AB 2208 protects Californians against these harmful federal cuts through a three-part approach. First, this bill reduces the cost-sharing requirements for low-income Medi-Cal patients affected by H.R.1 to just one penny. Second, this bill protects three-month retroactive reimbursement for new Medi-Cal patients. And finally, AB 2208 mandates improvements to California's public benefit systems to ensure Californians can easily access critical information about their health benefits online. When federal policy threatens health care for millions of Californians, we have a responsibility to respond, and this bill does just that. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assemblymember Wicks, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. In 2022, four years ago, I passed the Age Appropriate Design Code. This was a bill first in the nation that basically said if product is going to be accessed by children, it needs to be by design and by default safe for them. Unfortunately, it caught up in litigation for four years by big tech suing to stop it. Recently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision that several provisions of the original AEDC were constitutional, thus creating a pathway for AB 2246. This bill has received bipartisan support. And with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you. Assembly Member Wicks. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since the passage of Prop 64, California's poison control system has received roughly 5,000 calls involving children exposed to cannabis. In response to this trend, I asked the Joint Legislative Audit Committee in 2024 to request an audit of the Department of Cannabis Control's enforcement of youth advertising and marketing restrictions. The state auditor's findings were clear. Existing law is too vague, and the vagueness is allowing products that appeal to children to remain on the market. AB 2249 addresses this statutory grant. The bill establishes a clear and enforceable definition of what makes a cannabis product and its packaging attractive to children. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Cannabis Control to take measurable actions to aid licensees in complying with this standard. Recent amendments have addressed several opposition concerns, and I look forward to continuing discussion on this bill. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

File item 145 is AB 2299 by Assemblymember Calderon. Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2299 by Assemblymember Calderon and others, an act relating to CalFresh. Assemblymember Calderon, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 2299. This bill will support over a half a million people who will lose their SNAP benefits, known in California as CalFresh, due to the time limits imposed by H.R. 1. These cuts will impact some of the most vulnerable members of our community, such as our veterans, former foster youth, older adults, people with dependent children, and people experiencing homelessness. These time limits are based on false assumptions that people who receive CalFresh do not work or need to be convinced to do so. In reality, most people receiving benefits are productive members of our community who are working, attending school, or providing unpaid care for family members. This bill has enjoyed bipartisan support this far I respectfully ask for an aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Calderon Assemblymember Bonta you are recognized Thank you I rise in support of AB 2299 H.R. 1 does something deeply cruel. It limits both people's food assistance and their health care through Medi-Cal. The research is really unambiguous with what happens. It does not help people find work. It creates unnecessary suffering, and it shifts the cost of that suffering onto California's health care. California does not need to accept this. AB 2299 breaks the cycle by ensuring people keep the food assistance they need to stay healthy, stay out of the emergency room, and stay on their feet. I encourage us all to support AB 2299. Thank you, Assemblymember Bonta. Dr. Sharp-Collins, you are recognized. All right. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise in support of Assembly Bill 2299, a bill targeting the federal government's negligent action post-HR 1 that leaves Californians hungry. Once again, one aspect of the big ugly bill is the removal of individuals from CalFresh, leaving them and their families at risk of going hungry. Starting June 1st, more than 562,000 Californians will lose CalFresh benefits due to eligibility changes. Sadly, we are also seeing many people removed who are able and who are eligible. These families risk going months without critical food assistance, And when a parent loses CalFresh benefits, every dollar must go towards putting food on the table, forcing families deeper and deeper into a cycle of poverty. As co-chair of the Select Committee of CalFresh Enrollment and Nutrition, I am constantly reminded of the devastating impacts of these cuts. Some key research. Research has shown that children are more aware of their food insecurity and it actually has an impact on them but also their families. Food insecurity is not just an economic issue, but we know that it is an actual health risk. The malnourishment harms all aspects of their health, and when you're underweight, it's harder to fight illnesses. So food insecurity causes anxiety and can impact their ability to focus on their academics when it comes to our youth. So children should not fear where their next meal will come from. They should be focusing on getting good grades and making new friends. So parents should be able to focus on their work without facing hunger pains. and we must refuse to allow this to become reality for hundreds and thousands of Californians and their children. So I ask that you join me in keeping students full and keeping families whole, and I urge you to support Assembly Bill 2299. Thank you, Dr. Sharp-Collins.

An act relating to healing arts. Assemblymember Schiavo, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, I present AB 2311, the Public Hospitals Physician Stability Act. Public health care districts are uniquely disadvantaged in California. They are the only public hospitals in the state that cannot directly employ physicians. Without the ability to directly hire physicians many of these hospitals face worsening staffing shortages and uncertainty in maintaining services especially in the face of HR1 cuts or the big deadly bill as I call it And AB 2311 simply allows public health care districts to directly employ physicians just like other public hospitals, FQHCs, and academic medical centers already can. My office has negotiated multiple amendments protecting physician choice and autonomy with the California Medical Association, and we're continuing to work with them to address their final concerns and reach final agreement on amendments. AB 2311 ensures these hospitals can continue serving patients, that we meet the needs of our rural hospitals who desperately need physicians, and are strengthening the workforce and stability. Respectfully, request an aye vote. Thank you. Assemblymember Schiavo, I'll debate having ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Assembly Bill 2319 by Assemblymember Schultz, an act relating to taxation and making an appropriation thereof. Assemblymember Schultz, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good afternoon, colleagues. I rise to present AB 2319. California remains the center of the global film and television industry, but post-production work, including editorial, sound, scoring, visual effects, and finishing, is increasingly being performed in other jurisdictions that offer targeted incentives. Current law limits eligibility for the California Motion Tax Credit Program, primarily to projects that complete principal photography in the state of California. And as a result, post-production work is leaving our state to competing jurisdictions that already offer standalone tax credit programs. States and countries, including New York, New Jersey, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia, already offer incentives that allow productions filmed elsewhere to compete for post-production credits offered locally. These policies, quite simply, colleagues, have led to the migration out of the state of California of high-wage jobs, vendor spending, and related economic activity. Without a targeted post-production incentive, California risks further losing a critical segment of the entertainment industry supply chain, even when creative talent and leadership remains based in our state. I want to close with noting that 2319, if passed, would create the California Post-Production Tax Credit, a targeted incentive for qualified post-production expenditures performed in California, regardless of where principal photography occurred, subject to program requirements and oversight. I will also note, and this is important, that the post-production tax credit contemplated by this bill is not tied to the $750 million budget of the motion picture tax credit that we passed last year. I've submitted a pending budget request to establish separate funding for this credit. And lastly I want to note that to be eligible for this post credit the project either needs to be filmed outside of California or be a project that was filmed in California but did not receive the motion picture tax credit A project to be very blunt cannot double dip and thereby receive both credits I'll simply close with noting that should this pass off the floor today, I am fully committed to working with all involved stakeholders to ensure that we save this critical segment of our industry, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

AB 2325 directs the commission on teacher credentialing to administer a competitive grant program, awarding awards to partnerships of school districts, community colleges, and universities. The bill helps establish a structured pipeline that guides bilingual students from high school recruitment through dual enrollment for an associate's degree and into an integrated credential program at a four-year university culminating with guaranteed employment as a bilingual teacher. California is a very diverse linguistically state and we need to make sure that we have teachers who help prepare the future workforce in that multilingual universe.

Members, AB 2344 will help animals that are involved in cruelty cases find safe, permanent homes more quickly rather than remain in shelters for unnecessarily long periods of time. Under current law, dogs and cats that are victims of animal cruelty are often required to remain in animal control facilities or shelters until the court case is fully resolved. These prolonged shelter holds contribute to overcrowding, strain already limited resources, and increase the risk of euthanasia. This will allow prosecutors to petition the court for forfeiture of an animal to the state or county if a defendant fails to appear in court for 30 days. It will help reduce overcrowding and get these puppies and kittens into safe, healthy environments as soon as possible. And it has received bipartisan support. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 2348 by Assemblymember Bonta, an act relating to Medi-Cal. Assemblymember Bonta, you are recognized. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 2348. This bill ensures California's successful Medi-Cal CalAIM programs can be sustained and strengthened beyond the end of this year. Healthcare stakeholder roundtables I held last fall with many colleagues here in communities throughout the state highlighted this is a key priority. CalAIM community supports our services that can be provided by Medi-Cal managed care plans as cost-effective alternatives to traditional medical services. Investing in these services, including housing supports, medically tailored food, and asthma remediation, have been proven to prevent unnecessary hospital stays and trips to the emergency room. AB 2348 sustains and strengthens CalAIM by authorizing Medi-Cal plans to continue covering community supports, promoting accountability by requiring timely data on utilization, requiring the Department of Health Care Services to create a standardized model policy to ensure consistency and reflect best practices, and finally, by imposing timelines and requirements for public posting and stakeholder input for policy changes done outside the regulatory process. Members, as we move from building CalAIM to refining it for the long term, this bill will uphold the state's commitment to this successful program and help California realize its promise to keep California healthy by focusing on prevention.

Assemblymember 2367 by Assemblymember Kalra and others, an act relating to state employment. Assemblymember Kalra, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. AB 2367 will require state-run health care facilities to report on a quarterly basis their staff vacancy, overtime, and contract data with additional breakdowns by classification and facility. Per the direction of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, the state auditor reviewed staffing levels of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the Department of Developmental Services, and the Department of State Hospitals last year. In all the facilities they reviewed, the auditor found that staff vacancy rates increased, which resulted in a reliance on contract workers, which cost more per hour than their state civil service counterparts, even after considering the non-wage costs associated with state civil service employment, such as benefits. The contract workers also had two to three years less tenure than state employees in the same classification, which resulted in a need for additional training and time. The auditor also found that CDCR, DDS, and DSH do not have a formal process for reporting their shift staffing minimums, which are critical to ensuring the provision of legally required levels of care. To promote transparency, accountability, and oversight, the auditor recommended all three departments immediately require their facilities to track and report publicly their staffing levels with explanations for any missed minimums. AB 2367 codifies the auditor's recommendations. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Caller. All debate having ceased, Clerk will open the roll.

Assemblymember Bonta, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I'm presenting AB 2368. This bill requires the Department of Health Care Services to establish a website that provides information on county health programs for medically indigent individuals, including eligibility, services, and cost structure, among other things. Under H.R. 1, California is bracing for a surge in uninsured residents, with counties estimating that indigent programs will experience new enrollments of between $417,000 to $1.3 million. When federal policies restrict eligibility introduce intentional barriers to enrollment or roll back coverage people do not simply stop getting sick Instead they fall into our county safety nets to be the provider of last resorts Without a coordinated statewide strategy to connect these individuals to care and understand the strain on local resources, our county health systems risk being overwhelmed, leaving our most marginalized communities without life-saving care. This bill establishes a vital framework of transparency, access, and proactive planning to bridge the gap left by H.R. 1. I respectfully request your aye vote. Thank you. Assemblymember Bonta.

Assemblymember Petrie-Norris, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, I rise to present AB 2385.

Assembly Bill 2386 by Assemblymember Alvarez and others, an act relating to healing arts. Assemblymember Alvarez, you are recognized. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I am presenting Assembly Bill 2386. This measure strengthens retention for physicians who are part of the Licensed Physicians from Mexico program and it expands eligibility for qualified international physicians to practice in areas of need while maintaining rigorous medical standards. This is a priority bill of the California and Mexico Select Committee's work this year. California, we know, has been grappling with significant and growing physician shortages. Nearly a quarter of California's population lives in areas of shortage of health professions, including doctors. And by 2030, California will need an additional 8,243 physicians just to meet the basic needs of health care in our communities. Many of the underserved patients, like those that I represent in my communities, face language barriers, cultural differences. and all of that directly impacts the quality of their care, patient trust, and health outcomes. So California's workforce challenge is not just about the number of physicians, but also about having providers who reflect and understand the communities that they serve. That's why we have this bill, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Alvarez. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote.

Assembly Bill 2392 by Assemblymember Fong and... Assemblymember Fong, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. Last August, the Assembly Higher Education Committee and the Committee on Privacy and Consumer Affairs held an informational hearing to review the CSU's AI-empowered initiative. A key finding from that hearing was that AI tools like CHAT, GBT, EDU were being deployed without any training being conducted. Assembly Bill 2392 requires the California Community Colleges and the CSU and requests the UC to convene a joint working group to present recommendations for procurement standards and the training of generative AI. This bill ensures that our students, staff, and faculty know how to use an AI product and are aware of usage privacy policies associated with that AI product. I'd certainly ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Fong. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close roll, tallying votes, I 60, no 0. The measure passes. We're on to file item 174. That's AB 2395 by Assemblymember Sharp Collins. Clerk will read. Assemblymember 2395 by Assemblymember Sharp Collins, an act relating to child support. Dr. Sharp Collins, you may open on the measure. All right. Thank you once again, Mr. Speaker. Assembly Bill 2395 fosters equity across California by increasing access to the state child support debt reduction program. The debt reduction program was created to assist low-income families who have been paralyzed by child support that they owe the actual government. However, the program lacks the uniformity, causes parents to miss their chance at a life-changing opportunity to better their financial situations. Assembly Bill 2395 creates accountability measures and standards. and standardizes the operational processes to ensure all local child support agencies have access to the same information regarding the debt reduction program. With that, I am committed to continuing conversations with our opposition as the bill moves over to the Senate, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Dr. Sharp-Collins.

Assemblymember El-Hawari, you are recognized. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker and members. I'm proud to present AB 2403, a bill focused on keeping commercial production jobs. here in California for our workers, our businesses, and our local economies. It creates a targeted incentive to help California compete with other states that are attracting commercial production work away from California. The bill has received bipartisan support.

Brings us to file item 177 that AB 2411 by Assemblymember McKenna The clerk will read Assemblymember 2411 by Assemblymember McKenna an act relating to state government. Assemblymember McKenna, you are recognized. Mr. Speakers and members, AB 2411 creates a process under the City of Los Angeles Unified command to allow out-of-state law enforcement officials to provide temporary supplemental public safety services during the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic Games. Security planners estimate that roughly 30,000 law enforcement personnel will be needed for various local, state, and federal agencies for the 2028 Games in order to keep our state safe during these Olympic Games. Any of the out-of-state officers will receive California post-training and will be required to comply with and enforce all California laws. I'll say that again. The out-of-state officers will receive California post-training and will be required to comply with and enforce all California laws. As chair of the select committee on the Olympics and Paralympics, I know that it is important to ensure that the games are safe, as a safe experience for athletes, residents, and visitors from around the world. Can you imagine? There are going to be people from all over the country, dignitaries, president, our own president, by the way. There are going to be people from all over the country. And we want to keep our people safe while they enjoy these Olympics. I'll tell you this. If we don't have enough officers, the federal government will come in and send in their officers. They will send in their ICE officers. They'll send in their federal officers. We will prioritize local police officers, but we can't take away, like here in Sacramento, we're already short-staffed, so we can't pull off all the officers from Sacramento to work the Olympics because then we won't cover the safety of the people in Sacramento. And so with this bill, what we'll be doing is ensuring the safety of our games. And so with that, I ask for your aye vote. Thank you. Assemblymember McKenner, Assemblymember Krell, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank the author for bringing this important bill and for your work on the select committee and ensuring the safety during the Olympics. My only question which you can address during closing is whether the bill will include express language to prioritize California officers, either retired officers in California or currently working in California officers. though I appreciate your suggestion earlier that you wouldn't import Sacramento officers who are busy keeping Sacramento safe. But just that we have so many different laws in California that our officers comply with, and you've been a leading voice in ensuring the quality of the policing here in California. So just to ensure that we prioritize before we go anywhere else, anywhere out of state, that we make sure that we're first using California officers first. and with that I respectfully urge your aye vote. Thank you Assemblymember Correll. Assemblymember Michelle Rodriguez you are recognized. I just want to thank the author and appreciate you including the SB training for post training. With being a post commissioner previously that's very important that our officers accountability should not stop at the state line and any officer out of the state working in California should follow California rules. Thank you Assembly member Rodriguez. Seeing and hearing no further debate Assembly member McKenna do you wish to close Yes thank my colleagues for the questions We need 30 law enforcers What we have right now is about 6 police officers that can be borrowed from all over the state That leaves us in a deficit, and that is why we will go outside. But, of course, we're going to prioritize our California first officers. We're going to prioritize them first. These guys also won't be in a managing role. We'll make sure that the supervisors and the managers will be from California. And yes, we're working with Cal OES and POST to make sure that they are trained in a California way. Because we have really, really high standards that I help work on. And I want to ensure that that continues. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on AB 2411. Thank you so many.

Assembly Bill 2468 by Assemblymember Patel, an act relating to school accountability. Dr. Patel, you may open on the measure. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. Research over many decades has shown that students with disabilities experience a host of academic, behavioral, and social benefits when included in a general education classroom with their peers. In spite of these benefits, California has lagged behind most other states on inclusion for many years. It is 50 years after the passage of IDEA, and California schools still struggle to ensure all students with disabilities experience meaningful inclusion and belonging in the academic and social life of their school communities. AB 2648-2468, who do we appreciate, will expand the Supporting Inclusive Practices Project, or SIP, which provides the support of schools so that they can achieve meaningful gains in inclusive education. Recent research shows that districts receiving support from SIP achieve significant growth in inclusion. AB 6468 will ensure that SIP is able to continue and expand its highly successful work, as well as align and integrate it with other school improvement initiatives. And with that, colleagues, I respectfully ask your aye vote. Thank you. Thank you, Dr. Patel. All debate having ceased, Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote.

Assemblymember Nguyen, Assemblymember Nguyen, and others, an act relating to tribal affairs. Assemblymember Nguyen, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to present AB 2507, which strengthens California's government-to-government relationship with federally recognized tribal governments. California has made important progress in strengthening its relationship with tribal governments, and this bill builds on that progress by creating a more consistent and coordinated framework across state government. Currently, engagement with tribal governance can vary across agencies. Some agencies have established practices in place, while others do not. As a result, consultation can happen inconsistently or too late in the process, making it more difficult for tribal governments to navigate state programs and partnership. AB 2507 creates a clear structure for how state agencies engage with tribal governments, so consultation is meaningful, consistent, and happens early, not after decisions have already been made. This bill has strong bipartisan support. No no votes. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Nguyen. I'll debate having ceased. Clerk will up the roll.

Clerk will read. Assemblymember Petrie Norris, an act relating to wildfire. Assemblymember Petrie Norris, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, I rise to present AB 2513. Wildfire is a statewide crisis, but our current mitigation and investment strategy does not currently reflect the full diversity of the state's fire-prone landscapes. AB 2513 will ensure that all high-risk ecosystems are eligible for funding for wildfire prevention projects across the state. The bill has received unanimous bipartisan support. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 2514, which is one of four bills in the comprehensive legislative package to close the state achievement gap. California's achievement gap is simply unacceptable. The disparities are the realities that affect classrooms, schools, and the futures of millions of California students. AB 2514 creates a statewide dashboard known as the Achievement Gap Dashboard that we use We use as a tool to provide the public with a clear way to measure the state's progress in closing the achievement gap and to inform decision making. The state makes many investments, some are successful, some are not. This will help us to know which way is the way to go. Measuring progress and being transparent about results will inform decisions to create conditions at the state level to set our schools up for success at the local level. Review 2514 does this by ensuring our work to enclose the achievement gap is backed by clear data and public accountability. A wise person says that you cannot manage what you do not measure, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, I rise today to present AB 2516. This bill will create the California Grid Manufacturing Initiative. The goal of this program is to accelerate California clean energy build while creating thousands of high good union jobs The bill is received by partisan support and I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Petrie

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 2531. Last December, the Trump administration finalized a rule to prohibit the VA from providing abortion care. The impact of that decision is clear. Veterans in California who wore this country's uniform and put their lives on the line are now being denied basic reproductive health care from the VA because the federal administration administration has taken away benefits that our veterans have earned. AB 2531 puts our veterans first where the federal government has failed them. It narrowly expands access to California's existing uncompensated care grant program to supplement veterans' federal health care coverage. This bill ensures that our veterans are supported and never left behind. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Mr. Speaker and members, I rise in support of 2531. I think it's critically important that we ensure when women serve our country that their full health care needs are taken care of. And so this bill is a very simple measure to fill the gaps that currently are met for our veterans. And I want to thank the author for bringing this bill, for her incredible advocacy on behalf of veterans, for her entire 12 years on this floor. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Chair of Military and Veteran Affairs, I'm happy to support this bill from our former Chair of Military and Veteran Affairs. This bill is a simple solution to a federal problem that has resulted in our state's veterans having less access to health care than the public, despite the state's constitutional right to reproductive freedoms. The current VA policy bans access to abortion even in the case of rape or incest and even when the health of a person is at risk. The only exception is if a provider determines a person's life is so severely at risk that an abortion is necessary to save them. This policy goes farther, prohibiting VA providers from even counseling an abortion. Women are the fastest growing group of veterans. If we want to show them respect and honor for their service, we should not deny them access to the health care that is legal and available to everyone else in the state. As chair, I urge an aye vote on 2531.

I just respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, I am pleased to present AB 2541, which creates a low rider specialty license plate that reinvests funds back into the community. The license plate is more than a piece of metal. It's a visual representation of pride, pride in a community that for far too long was targeted for expressing their culture and their heritage. Each low rider is intentional, designed by hand, shaped by the people building it and the stories they carry. Two years ago, legislature lifted a ban on low riding. That was a big step, but this bill is about what comes next, because it's one thing to say culture matters, it's another thing to invest in it. This bill will provide financial support back into the arts, cultural preservation, youth engagement, and community events, turning cultural pride into tangible investments in our communities. Because the truth is that communities behind lowrider culture, especially Latino and Chicano communities, haven't always gotten the investment that they truly deserve. AB 2541 honors the lowrider community while also fighting to reinvest in our communities across our Golden State. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Lowriders have always had our back, and it's time for us to have theirs. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Good afternoon again, Madam Speaker. And I rise in support of AB 2541, the lowrider license plate bill in support of my colleague, who also represents downtown LA with me. For decades, lowriders have been discriminated against, made to feel less than and othered for their art, engineering, and ways of gathering as a family. And we've seen some of the tools used against lowriders that have come from laws passed on this very floor, which is why I stand today with great pride as a co-author and join the many that have already begun to right those wrongs. Today, we are presented with an opportunity to show how California leads, where we see diversity as a sign of strength rather than weakness. In my district, you see the diversity of black, brown, API folks, all of us folks that are third generation California even, and some who have just arrived, who gather together to do what they all love to do, to ride and cruise on their lowriders. And that's because lowriding is for everyone. It embraces all and has given many a much needed sense of belonging, togetherness, and of course, family. This bill is unique in that it doesn't just do the right thing in recognizing lowriders as a part of California life. It empowers lowriders and their larger community to help generate funds for the next generation, providing young people with the opportunity to express themselves artistically learn California history and of course lowride I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Ms El Mr Bryan you are recognized on the matter Thank you Madam Speaker I too rise in support of AB 2541 As the member representing the Crenshaw District, I can tell you riding down Crenshaw on a Sunday in a low rider is more than just culture. This is one of those examples of black and brown solidarity. I was also here years ago, two years ago, when we stopped the criminalization of just driving around in a low rider. We used to have no cruising signs all over California, and we ended that practice. So now to see the next step, as the member from downtown Los Angeles mentioned, creating this license plate and investing in the community and in the culture is incredibly powerful. And I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I, too, rise in support of AB 2541. I grew up around lowriders. My brother restores old cars and makes lowriders, so I am part of the lowrider community as well. So we also have lowriders for Leticia. My brother's part of group car clubs, so I grew up around that. My brother's had his own cars in music videos and his friend's cars, so I see them all the time. I have one in my driveway right now because my brother's working on it there. So I do stand in support of this. I love to go cruising. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I also am rising in support of AB 2541. All I have to say is chill vibes and good times. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Alanis. Seeing and hearing no further

you to my colleagues from Los Angeles, Culver City, Corona, and Modesto, and to all of you, I love it when we're cruising together. Yes on AB 2541. Thanks.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, I'm proud today to present AB 2549, which will provide necessary compliance improvements to the state's covered battery-embedded product program. In 2022, California expanded the definition of covered electronic devices under the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 to include covered battery-embedded products. This bill clarifies obligations among compliance entities, such as between manufacturers and retailers, and establishes necessary standards to ensure the success of the program. The bill will strengthen the management and recycling of battery-embedded products. In order to advance California's environmental goals, this bill is essential for ensuring regulatory compliance while also achieving critical cost savings for consumers, businesses, and the state. We have been successful in addressing all stakeholder concerns, so this bill enjoys no opposition moving forward. This is a support-support bill. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Good afternoon again to Madam Speaker and members. I'm proud to present AB 2551, a bill that requires health plans and insurers to collect and publicly share data on how many people must go outside their network to get behavioral health care and the total expenditures these individuals pay out of pocket to receive such care. AB 2551 would increase transparency regarding behavioral health care access and hold health plans accountable for providing culturally competent care. This bill has received no no votes and has a support support recommendation. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, I rise today to present AB 2553. This measure will help protect vulnerable Californians from real estate fraud. The bill has received unanimous bipartisan support through committee and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. California established its system for reclassifying English learners as fully English proficient nearly 50 years ago. Over the years, evidence has mounted that the current system is inconsistent, redundant, and subjective, and inefficient. Research has also shown that many English learners who are proficient in English can wait years to be reclassified, limiting their educational opportunity. Research has found that there are significant gaps in reclassification rates by home language, with Spanish-speaking students significantly less likely to reclassify than other students, even when they are just as proficient as their peers. AB 2555 will establish a coherent, consistent, efficient, and transparent reclassification system. It will strengthen parent involvement, establish monitoring guidelines for reclassified students, and support global biliteracy. AB 2555 will establish a reclassification system for English learners and their parents. It's what they deserve, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today I rise to present AB 2560, which would codify principles of the Climate Action Plan. For transportation infrastructure or CAPTI for short that California State Transportation Agency has adopted In 2021 CalSTA first published the CAPTI principles to target the reduction of GHG emissions from the transportation sector while reaffirming commitments to fix-it-first, economic prosperity, equity, and environmental justice. In summary, CAPTI sets 10 wide-ranging goals codified by this bill, including building an integrated rail and transit network, investing in bicycle and pedestrian and zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, promoting projects that reduce vehicle miles traveled, strengthening our commitment to equity and protecting natural and working lands. We all know that transportation remains our state's largest greenhouse gas-emitting sector, accounting for approximately half of our total emissions. And in closing, I'll just note that at a time when the federal administration is abandoning efforts to solve the climate crisis, it's important now more than ever that we recommit ourselves to addressing climate change by codifying our principles even as we look towards a transition in the executive branch. With that, respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Today I rise to present AB 2567 on behalf of Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. AB 2567 gives county welfare directors the ability to provide immediate relief to CalWORKs applicants who appear eligible based on the family's current financial situation. Families applying for emergency CalWORKs assistance are often facing urgent crises, including eviction, food insecurity, or utility shutoffs. AB 2567 ensures families who appear to qualify for benefits can receive timely support to stabilize their housing and meet basic needs when they need it most. On behalf of Assemblywoman Rodriguez, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to present Assembly Bill 2573, a measure that strengthens and clarifies California confidential voter registration program for candidates and elected officials. As counties begin implementing Assembly Bill 1392, which I authored and was passed last year, question arose about who qualifies for the program, how protections apply to family members, and how the confidential status is maintained when someone moves counties or even leaves the office. This bill is support, support, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote on this important bill to ensure voting access for all Californians.

Thank you. Under current California law, if the federal tax liability of an investor-owned utility is reduced during a general rate case, the IOU is not required to return the savings to ratepayers. AB 2589 would require the CPUC to ensure that if changes to the federal law result in the IOUs saving money on their taxes, that those savings are passed on directly to California ratepayers. This bill builds on the success of SB 1028, authored by Senator Hill in 2018, which returned more than $1 billion from reduced IOU federal tax liability to California ratepayers. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. Today I rise to present AB 2592. AB 2592 transfers responsibility for the lobbyist training course from the Legislative Ethics Committees to the Fair Political Practices Commission beginning January 1, 2029. The FPPC will develop and maintain the curriculum in consultation with the Legislative Ethics Committees and will offer the training online and on demand for lobbyists statewide. The bill enables the Legislative Ethics Council to focus on their core responsibilities while ensuring lobbyists receive training directly from the agency that oversees lobbying law. AB 2592 also makes the training more accessible by allowing lobbyists to complete it on demand at a time that works for them. AB 2235 has received unanimous bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for your eye vote.

Good afternoon, Madam Speaker and members. I am proud to present AB 2593, a bill that ensures that when we take someone into custody, we take on the responsibility of caring for them. The bill clearly prohibits any staff, administrator, or supervisor from interfering with care prescribed by a licensed healthcare professional. This bill has received full bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

for centuries private corporations generated immense wealth off the backs of slave labor and we have current laws on the books that require disclosure for carbon emissions disclosure for human trafficking in the supply chain, but we don't have legislation that calls for an accounting of the private wealth that has been accumulated off the backs of chattel slavery in our country. This bill gives us that. It is the priority of the Legislative Black Caucus and a priority of the Progressive Caucus, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Members, I rise today to present AB 2634, which strengthens the High Road Training Partnerships, otherwise known as HRTP, program funding requirements to assure workforce investments lead to good-paying, high-quality jobs. In 2017, California's Workforce Development Board launched the High Road Training Partnership Initiative. Intended to promote industry collaboration across stakeholder groups, HRTV provides funding and a framework for workers and employers to partner and create mutually beneficial solutions. These partnerships operate on three core principles, job quality, equity, and climate resilience, together considered the high road for employers and workers. High road jobs are the backbone of a strong middle class, creating pathways out of poverty, raising wages, and improving lives for working people. At a time of rapid economic transformation driven by automation, climate transition, and shifting labor markets, California has a unique opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to labor and to assure that workforce development is done with the knowledge, expertise, and engagement of workers. When labor and management partner on workforce development, the result is stronger industries, a more resilient workforce, and a more competitive California economy. AB 2634 aligns high road funding requirements with California's vision for a true high road workforce. This bill has no opposition and has received bipartisan support. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. AB 2639 will direct the Merced County Flood Control District to coordinate with other local jurisdictions within the county of Merced to improve its flood control operations This will help direct coordination between the various entities responsible for flood control operations in Merced to ensure the county residents have the best level of protection possible. Also, this will ensure that we prevent flooding that occurred, the type of flooding that occurred in 2023 where thousands of residents had to be evacuated and many couldn't return to their homes for months. And still some today are recovering. So I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. This bill has had unanimous support and has no opposition.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Good afternoon, colleagues. A few weeks ago on this floor, we all stood together and declared Farm Workers Day. We all celebrated the work of our farm workers, the fact that in this $60 billion agricultural industry that makes California so proud, it's really on the backs of these farm workers. In fact, our colleague from Buena Park reminds us that we all have ag in our district, at the grocery store, in our kids' lunches, and on the dinner table. And many of you told touching stories about growing up on farms, working on farms alongside family members. But the truth of the matter is that those who are doing the hard work, waking up before dawn and working on those farms, are barely getting by. And some are not getting by at all. Life has been harder than ever for these workers over the last year and a half. Raids on the fields, family separations, detentions, deportations, extreme heat, bad air quality, well-documented sexual abuse are just some of the many things that make life harder for our farm workers. On top of that, they are the lowest paid workers in the most expensive state here in California. That's why I bring to you colleagues Assembly Bill 2646. This is a very modest bill that restores farm worker pay at $19.75 an hour. I've been told by many farmers that they actually pay more than this. Indeed, this is simply a restoration of the floor. This is not a wage. This is a bottom line wage that will help our farm workers who bring so much to California. So for all you colleagues that stood together for Farm Workers Day today, I ask for you to join me in supporting farm worker pay. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I rise today in support of AB 2646. Four generations of Californians farm workers have performed some of the hardest and most essential labor in our state They work through extreme heat difficult conditions physical strain and economic uncertainty to ensure food reaches tables across California and across this nation While my district may not be at the center of California's agricultural industry, many families and communities know the sacrifices tied to farm work and immigrant labor. Yeah, there's some farm work done in my district. These workers are part of the backbone of California's economy, and they deserve fairness and dignity on the job. Yet, despite the essential nature of this work, farm workers to often remain among the lowest paid workers in California and continue to experience wage theft and workplace abuses at alarming rates. AB 2646 takes an important step forward, fairness, and economic dignity by establishing a minimum wage of $19.75 per hour for appropriate cultural employees and for corresponding California workers performing the same or substantially similar work for the same employer in the same county. That principle is simple, equal pay for equal work. California has already recognized the importance of industry-specific wage standards and sectors where farm works is facing vulnerabilities, including health care and fast food. Farm works deserve the same recognition and protection. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. And I rise in opposition today to this bill simply because the farmers and the farm industry and the entire ag industry is asking for relief. Right now we know that the margins today that our ag industry is making is less than what they were making during the Great Depression. We heard earlier this year Del Monte picked up, closed the doors, and left farmers with millions of pounds of pears that they can't give to anywhere else. how many more businesses in the state of California need to shut down before we learn? We've had other legislation that actually added tax credits and relief to other businesses that openly admits that California is over-regulating and underperforming. And with another minimum wage hike that we have seen from the Bureau of Labor Statistics has never worked. This bill is a job killer. Why not just make it $50 minimum wage? Why not make it $100 minimum wage? Because we know that there will be no businesses that will be able to employ people. I represent one of the largest agricultural districts, not only in California, not only in the United States, but in the world. And they are asking for relief. And all we are doing is putting additional burdens on them, which will lead to more shutdowns. ask anybody who's worked at Blue Diamond, Del Monte, Wawona, packing houses. All of them have shut down recently. How many more need to shut down before we learn a lesson? I respectfully ask for your no vote on this.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise today in support of AB 2646, and I thank the author from Sacramento for her thoughtfulness in this bill. Here's the deal. This was the threshold before at the federal level, and it was rolled back. And as we've said repeatedly, we're not going back. We're only going forward. So I appreciate the author for making sure that California continues to progress on wages. Now, we've had a lot of conversations about what the minimum wage should be, and we've done a few things to do it industry by industry. We've done a few things even recently to do it by type of housing. But at the end of the day, the federal administration repealed a law that set the minimum wage at this level, and we are not going back. With that, I urge a strong vote on I vote on AB 2646.

Yes, thank you. I'm probably one of the few in here that actually is a farmer. We talk about affordability. So when we farm and our costs are increased, we pass those to the consumer. We talk about affordability, affordability. I respect the author and what she's trying to do here, but I actually pay my guys more than that on my ranch. but I'm telling you in some large operations, $19 an hour can really add up and it passes right through to the consumer. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I did not intend to speak on this bill. In fact, I took a lot of time even getting back to the author about this bill because I represent an ag district are going to have to be very thoughtful about the decisions that we make and the votes that we take and how that's going to pencil out for the farmers and the ag businesses in our community. And so I'm rising in support of this bill because it is not fair for us to try to balance all of the cuts, all of the things that we've had to deal with on the federal level, all of the back feeling. It's not fair for us to balance that on the back of the farm workers who are not only struggling because of the federal cuts, but also are living in fear and terror and really trying to show up for some of their colleagues who are no longer showing up, who are trying to deliver for businesses who, in all fairness, are struggling. But in reality, part of the reason that they are struggling is because we've seen subsidies be cut, longstanding subsidies be cut from an industry that quite honestly should not be struggling because California feeds the world. So I think it's more important for us to figure out how we can help to shore up the industry in a way that does not harm the people who are really keeping the industry afloat and alive. And so with that being said, it's my honor to be able to support this bill. And it's my pleasure to continue to work with all of the colleagues here to figure out other ways to really sustain the farm and agriculture industry, but we should not do it on the backs of those who are doing the work.

Thanks so much, Madam Speaker. I rise in support of AB 2646. I think what you are hearing from folks is a general concern about the future of farming in California. I just want to make sure that there's also a counterbalance to talk about where those impacts are actually coming from. And we can't discuss affordability and in particular the challenges of our farming community without talking about the tariff policies and the trade wars that have been happening for the last year and a half. We can't ignore the fact that entire markets are completely gone, that farmers have nowhere to sell these products because of these tariffs and because of these trade wars. We can talk about how manufacturing and farming is more expensive because petroleum prices have gone up and manure is costing more and our fertilizers are costing more and how our equipment is costing more because of tariff policies and because of trade policies. We recognize that the cost of everything has gone up, but that doesn't mean that this legislature should balance that by keeping the wages artificially suppressed for folks who need that help the most. There are other ways that we should be helping farmers, like not cutting the USDA programs that the Trump administration has cut. But for us, looking at this holistically means making sure we don't leave people behind as we're trying to

And I have three producers since the beginning of this year who've said that they are shutting down. And they are citing not Trump. They cite you. They cite the state of California policies. And this is something that's been going on with ag for at least 15 years in California, if not longer. The outright assault on agriculture. First we choke them off of the water, choke the water off from our farms, and a lot of our lands go fallow. Then we regulate the heck out of them. When they shut down, nobody gets any salary. The jobs are gone. So you can sit here and say, well, we're going to increase minimum wages. it's sort of like Marie Antoinette saying let them eat cake it didn't just show a callousness on her part when she said let them eat cake it showed gross ignorance there was no cake she thought by waving her arm that she would just simply give the French revolutionaries food there was no food to give here you're giving a minimum wage increase there are going to be no jobs left for them to occupy. If your intent is to help farm workers, and I believe my colleague from Sacramento wants to help farm workers, if your true intent is to help farm workers, then we have to bend the cost curve. We have to make California agriculture competitive. We have to reduce their cost of operating. So bring us bills that will reduce the cost of operating so they can be more viable. My colleague said, quote, they have nowhere to sell their products. So let's solve that. You don't sit here and say, let them eat cake. Let's give a minimum wage increase. I mean, some might describe that as an attempt just to try to shift the blame. No, let's take our responsibility for state policies. Let's do our best to address the problems with agriculture with state policies. I think you'll find there is a very fertile ground there. There are a lot of problems that we've neglected. We need to start solving them. Water, cost of operating, that's on our backs. Let's do our job. That's why I respectfully cannot back this bill, even though I do believe the author is well intended.

because that's who I reached out to to talk about this when it came to how this was going to impact them. And let me lead by saying I have so much respect for the author. Her and I have had conversations about this, and she's committed to hearing what the farm workers from my district have reached out with concerns about this. But I want to take us back to policy that was passed off of this floor that actually hurt farm workers. And this is not my words. This is from the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics, University of California. California's overtime law for agricultural workers went into effect in 2019. In the two years following this, I find that the law led to decreases in weekly working hours in earnest for California.

The merits of this bill.

I'm getting to my point.

Ms. Macedo. I find that the law led to decreases in weekly working hours and earnings for California crop workers. These losses are consistent with employers restricting hours to avoid paying the higher overtime fees. So if they're doing this to avoid paying higher overtime fees, what is going to happen to farm workers' jobs? I was recently on a tour of a farm in my district. There were two fields of tomatoes being planted. On the first field, there was a piece of equipment that could plant 12 rows in under two hours. Not one field over, there was a manual planter with roughly 25 farm workers that was being operated that took triple that time. The farmer wanted to keep the farm workers employed and willingly did not buy more equipment so he could keep those farm workers employed on that field right next door. But because of the pressures of doing business in California, because yes, ag is a business, people that run payrolls, people that have to meet their budgets, that means they have to make margins to stay in business in California or they simply won't. My heart is absolutely with farm workers, and I want to grant them relief in many ways. But this might not be the answer when it comes to them potentially losing their jobs. So with that, I respect the author, and I look forward to her continuing to work on this. But we have to think of the potential impacts, not just in the immediate future, but on the next decade on not just agriculture, but the farm workers and their jobs. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in strong support of AB 2646. My colleague from San Diego mentioned an assault on agriculture and an attempt to shift blame. a blame from you is who I ask this bill is about a minimum wage floor for those individuals who get up at four in the morning who travel to their jobs often staying after dark doing jobs that I guarantee see, and I've said this and I think I offended a few on this floor, that 100% of us could not do for a day back labor exposed to chemicals And what do they do? They bring food to our tables. There is no agriculture without farm workers. So whether it's implied that machines can do work faster, they certainly can. But there is no agriculture without farm workers. And what have they received in return? To be hunted. To be hunted by ice. To have to go deeper into the shadows. To do the work that every one of us not only depends on, but we benefit from. from my district that has tourism and hotels, those lavish boards of charcuterie boards that we like at wine tastings and Napa events, those come from farm workers. Some of you are rolling your eyes as I speak. I see it. Many of these farm workers live in some of the most undesired housing. And yes, they've crossed borders to do this work. Why? Because no one else wants to do it. Reports have just come out. This was always said to us, get rid of the illegals and then all of us can take those jobs. My friends, where are those lines for Americans that want these jobs and that are willing to do it? Where are those lines? Where are the photographs that show people lined up to dig in the fields? Keep seeing people smile from this side of the room. You think it's so easy, why don't you try lining up and doing one of these jobs, not for a day, but how about a few hours, bending over backwards and digging in the fields? Because without these farm workers, my friends, we don't have the food that we need, not only for our children, but for our families. And they certainly deserve a wage that they can live on. With that, I ask for your support for AB 2646.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I stand up here today not planning to speak, but I guess we needed to remind ourselves that a minimum wage is a minimum wage, that we shouldn't find reasons why we can lower that minimum wage below what it currently is at. What's not specifically identified within this bill is H-2A visas, where we guarantee that they get housing as a requirement for them to come and work at these facilities. But what we're saying now with this bill is it's not an extra benefit for them getting housing. It's a right that they get from having an H-2A visa. For our current farm workers who are here in our state who are working hard, we should provide an equal playing field to make sure that it's not a race to the bottom, that our minimum wage continues to slip from those who are vulnerable and working hard and who are being persecuted today. And so I'm grateful that our colleague here has raised this bill. It can be misconstrued in so many ways. But we have a minimum wage. We should honor that minimum wage and ensure that everyone gets paid that minimum wage who's doing hard work every day. With that, I ask you to support AB 2646.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I also wasn't planning on raising my mic, but obviously this issue for me is very personal. As you guys all know, I was born and raised in the Central Valley, farm worker parents, so I've seen directly and very personally as a child of farm workers the hard work that these individuals do every single day. And I will say that we wouldn't be here today taking this vote but for what the Trump administration has done to my community. And I know that as an ag chair, I also have to be thoughtful and represent not just the workers but also agriculture. And so it's a fine balance. I've stood here on this floor also reminding each and every one of you, of my Democratic colleagues, that when we ask agriculture to do more, we also have to provide the resources and support. And last year, we failed to do that during the budget time when we had the opportunity to make more investments. I've met with many of you guys to continue to talk about the fact that while we ask our agriculture community to do more, that we also provide those resources. But today the conversation is about the workers. And for me, it is plain simple. We have to respond to what is happening in Washington, D.C. We cannot essentially single out our farm workers when it comes to the wages that are attempting to be cut by the federal administration. And I do want to applaud the ag stakeholders that are playing farm workers above $19 an hour because I too have recognized that there's many of those folks in my district. But we also have to be cognizant that there's many also small ag producers that are challenged by all the costs that some of my colleagues on the other end of the aisle have spoken of, the cost pressures. But the cost pressures are not just a California problem, and while we have to this year and the next year continue to debate how we can better be a partner in helping provide the agricultural community relief, we cannot do it on the backs of workers. And that's why today I stand in support of AB 2646. But I also want to remind my colleagues that as we vote on this next budget, that we really see that we also invest in those resources that our agriculture community need it, and that we also look at what regulations are and are not working so that we modify them so that we make life easier for our producers as well. And so with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Great. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I feel like being scolded on the floor by things that weren't even said by us. It's like a circular argument of things that maybe people are assuming that we're saying in our heads or something. But you know I talked about this before but actually a lot of my family members are farm workers My stepdad works in a vineyard right now He's from Mexico, and a lot of his family members immigrated here and grew up in Napa, where the majority of my family members continue to work in the farms to this day. And it is hard work. It's very hard work, and there's a lot of respect for individuals working in the farms. But I'm, you know, this bill, a colleague said this line to me earlier on something else, but this bill is seeking to remedy a problem that was created by this body. That's the high cost of living. That's the inability of people to even be able to operate their farms in California, and this is going to make the issue even worse. And while, of course, I want farm workers to make the money that they deserve for the hard work that they put in, more importantly, I want them to be able to have a job. And this bill is going to prevent that from happening. It's going to exasperate the problems that were created by this legislature. With that, I respectfully ask for a no vote.

Thank you, colleagues. I deeply appreciate the support for this bill. You've spoken, many of you have raised so many points. I appreciate my colleagues from throughout the state and respect the opposition on this bill. my door will continue to be open to the opposition and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Good afternoon, Speaker and members. AB 2651, the Informed Parents Healthy Schools Act, notifies parents when their child's school vaccination rates fall below the level required to achieve herd immunity. We plan to continue to address opposition's concerns through clarifying amendments. The herd immunity rate is the percentage of the population that must be immunized to prevent disease transmission and thus provide some protection even for those who lack immunity. While measles was once eradicated in the United States, this year 10 counties in California alone have reported a total of 34 measles cases. To ensure herd immunity, parents need school-level vaccination rates. However, currently to find this data, parents would need to be aware of the concept of herd immunity, make the time to find their reports themselves and then have the knowledge to interpret their reports. These burdens constrain parents' ability to make informed decisions about school or child care settings. AB 2651 is a low-cost tool to remove these burdens from parents who rightfully want to be able to make informed decisions. This bill requires schools to notify parents when their child's school vaccination rates fall below the herd immunity threshold established by the California Department of Public Health. CDPH also takes precautions for student de in small schools AB 2651 is a low tool to remove these burdens from parents who rightfully want to be able to make informed decisions I respectfully request your aye vote Thank you Ms Fonta Seeing and hearing no further debate on the matter the clerk will open the roll All members vote who desire to vote All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes, 48, noes, 10. That measure passes. Ms. Ortega is ready to lift the call on file item 50, AB 1576.

Assembly Bill 2660 by Assemblymember Alvarez and others. and act relating to public post-secondary education. Mr. Alvarez, you are recognized on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to present Assembly Bill 2660, which codifies the CalBridge program and the Enlace program. 2660 takes a critical first step in strengthening and diversifying California's STEM workforce by building a coordinated pipeline from high school through faculty positions and industry leadership positions. Specifically, this bill codifies two programs that have proven to show a success. The two STEM programs, CalBridge and Enlace, which help students from underrepresented communities from throughout California achieve a PhD and join the state's science and technology industries as leaders in their field. Together, these programs create structured pathways from high school to community colleges, to the CSU system, and in order for them to pursue a PhD in STEM fields and careers in academia and in tech industry. There are five sub-programs that students receive mentorship, financial aid, research opportunities, professional development, and support for their undergraduate studies all the way through post-doctoral degrees. I respectfully ask for aye vote. Thank you, Mr. Alvarez. Seeing and hearing no further debate on the matter, the clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. AYE 61, NO 0. The measure passes. We will pass and retain on file item 236. We dispensed with file item 237. We will pass and retain on file item 238. Moving to file item 239, AB 2674. The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2674 by Assemblymember Shiavo and others inoculating to financial institutions. Ms. Shiavo, you are recognized on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. if you're anything like my district, when you have senior scam workshops, it is standing room only. And that really led to doing AB 2674, which strengthens consumer protections by requiring banks and credit unions to take preventative steps when transactions show signs of fraud or deception. It encourages banks to warn customers, establish verification and intervention measures when suspicious activity arrives. So basically, when you see something, say something. Most banks are doing this. My own bank told me that they had a woman who thought her son was being kidnapped, and when they intervened, they had her call the son directly. She was able to reach him. He was just in a work meeting, and she was about to empty out her savings account because of this. We know with the advent of AI that this is even getting more prolific and more dangerous and more convincing to people. This is a modest attempt to address this issue I took extensive extensive extensive amendments in committee and have committed to additional amendments over in the Senate And it's kind of shocking that there's still opposition, but this is what they do, I guess. So it does have bipartisan support and respectfully request an aye vote on AB 2674. Thank you, Ms. Schiavo. Seeing and hearing no further debate on the matter, the Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes 46, noes 2. That measure passes. Moving on to file item 240, AB 2682. The Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2682 by Assemblymember Berman and others, an act relating to transportation. Mr. Berman, you are recognized to open on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Last year, my colleague from Oakland and I authored AB 1340, which was transformational legislation to empower transportation network company drivers with the right to unionize. The prior bill charged the Public Employment Relations Board with overseeing the unionization process, but neglected to provide a process to appeal a board decision or order. AB 2682 would conform the TNC law with other collective bargaining statutes administered by the board and allow a party to seek judicial review of a final decision or order. Respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Mr. Berman. Seeing and hearing no further debate on the matter, the clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes 55, nos 4. That measure passes. Moving to file item 241, AB 2694. The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2694 by Assemblymember Alvarez and others, an act relating to public post-secondary education. Mr. Alvarez, you are recognized on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am really proud to present Assembly Bill 2694, the Workforce Responsive Baccalaureate Expansion Opportunity. This bill helps modernize how California delivers affordable, workforce-aligned bachelor's degrees through our community colleges, especially in high-need fields like health care, applied technology, and public service. Too many place-bound students, those are working adults, caregivers, and low-income Californians, cannot relocate or access impacted CSU or UC programs. I'm sure you hear it from your constituents all the time. At the same time, employers across this state continue to face workforce shortages that require a prepared workforce with bachelor's degrees. AB 2694 creates a practical balance framework that allows community college bachelor's programs to move forward when there is an unmet workforce demand or when the student's region is not able to access and is not being adequately served by the local CSU or UC, only in those circumstances. The bill also maintains strong accountability and coordination by requiring employer consultation, labor market data and research, workforce board input, and opportunities for the CSU and the UC to raise concerns before these bachelor programs are approved. I appreciate the ongoing collaborative engagement with the CSU system, the UC system, the community colleges, and all stakeholders as discussions continue to ensure that this is a thoughtful implementation and appropriate guardrails are part of this bill as it continues to move forward. Research from other states that already do this show that these programs primarily serve older students, working students, part-time students. These are all individuals who are not typically reached through traditional university pathways. So expanding overall degree attainment is an opportunity right here through this program. AB 2694 is strongly supported by community colleges, by labor groups, voters statewide overwhelmingly. A recent survey found that eight out of 10 Californian voters support expanding community college bachelor's degrees because of affordability and workforce needs in their own communities. This bill is about economic mobility, workforce readiness, and expanding opportunities to more Californians. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Mr. Alvarez. Ms. Hadwick, you are recognized on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in support of this bill today. I represent 11 counties. As you all know, I have the most community colleges, but also the most college deserts, and I have no UC or CSU in my district. So this bill will tremendously help those kids that have to move two to four hours away to go to a university. And I just want to support and ask for your aye vote and thank the author for his leadership in this. Thank you, Ms. Hadwick. Mr. Gonzalez, you are recognized on the matter. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I've said this before, as problem solvers and in our caucus, we're always trying to look at different ways in which to solve the issues across California. This is another way in which we can do that. I always say we have to reimagine higher education for our communities, especially in rural areas. I appreciate my colleague who's always thinking outside the box, who's always trying to look at this from a problem-solving perspective. This is another way in which we can do that. We have to reimagine it. We have to keep looking at this from multiple angles because he's absolutely correct. Not everyone can just pick up and go. Not everyone has that access. Some people need to be inside of a classroom. So this is another way in which we can get people into higher education and keep advancing them. So I thank the author on this and always looking at this from a problem solver's perspective. Respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Mr. Gonzalez. Ms. Pacheco, you are recognized on this matter? Thank you. and I want to commend the author for bringing this bill forward. As a proud joint author, I support this bill. This would help so many community colleges throughout the state, and this would help my community college, Cerritos Community College, which is located in the city of Norwalk. So I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Ms. Pacheco. Mr. Patterson, you are recognized on the matter? Great, thank you. I rise in support of this measure. I never really understood the turf wars for an 80-year-old master plan. We need to evolve beyond that. Community colleges serve. Our communities are very responsive. I'm a Sac State grad, proud Sac State grad. Also work a lot with Sierra College, which is right in my district. And Sierra College and Sac State are actually going to be having a campus together right in Placer County working together. But in any case, community colleges are amazing and should be able to offer bachelor's degrees in locations in which the CSUs or UCs are unable to provide that in their local areas. So with that, I look forward to supporting the measure. Thank you, Mr. Patterson. Ms. Soria, you are recognized on the matter? Madam Speaker, thank you. I rise in support of AB 2694. I want to join the chorus of support. I think that this is a very important measure as we look to the future of California. We must acknowledge the gaps that exist in accessing higher education especially in rural communities and as someone that represents three counties where many of the communities in my district that are on the west side, many of our students don't have access to public transit that could take them all the way maybe to Fresno State or even to UC Merced, which are the institutions of higher learning in my community. we need to open the pathways of access to higher education for economic mobility, to build a future workforce of the state of California, and really to ensure that we are putting students first when we're talking about higher education. And so I want to thank my colleague from San Diego for being thoughtful and for also being supportive in the efforts that I've attempted to do to ensure that in areas like mine where we have a shortage of nurses and there's opportunities to also expand those baccalaureate programs in campuses like Madera College and Merced College and also West Hills Kalinga College in my area. Again, I want to just rise in support today of AB 2694, and I ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Ms. Soria. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Mr. Alvarez, would you like to close? Thank you, Madam Speaker, and thank you to all the colleagues who spoke on this issue. This is really of very big significance to the state of California. Up and down the state, Antelope Valley, Shabbat, Las Positas, El Camino Community College, Foothill Danza, I can go on and on and on from the north of the state to the south extreme of the state. This is a need. You heard it from our rural communities, but it's also in a lot of our urban communities where we don't have access to the bachelor's programs at many of our urban communities. We do need to think differently, as was stated by a few of our colleagues. We need to make sure we meet students where they are and serve them in the communities where they come from, like the Central Valley and the rural areas. And right now, the system does not work for our students the way it should. That's what this bill is about. That's what the work that many of us have been doing this year, as we talk about the Master Plan for Higher Education, which is a document that's 66 years old, outdated, not serving our community needs today. That's the conversation we're having with this bill. That's what we're attempting to do. I want to thank all of our colleagues for acknowledging that this is a need in their communities and there's a need that will be fulfilled with this bill if it gets approved. For that reason, I respectfully ask for aye vote. Thank you. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes 49, noes 6. That measure passes. Moving to file item 242, AB 2704. The clerk will read.

Dr. AB 2739 establishes the Water Affordability and System Stabilization Fund to support investments in water infrastructure and low-income water rate assistance that will make water more affordable for all Californians. Rising water costs driven by aging infrastructure climate resilience investments drought response and rising regulatory compliance expenses are placing increasing strain on households across the state These rising costs are especially pronounced in areas with high rates of rural poverty like the Central Valley, where the cost of providing safe and reliable water is extremely high. AB 2739 addresses this by establishing a trust-based funding mechanism for investments in water infrastructure and low income water rate assistance with long-term sustainable funding framework. This funding structure does not include any new taxes or fees and contains safeguards and transparency measures to ensure funds are used for ratepayer affordability and system improvements. AB 2739 is a bipartisan and proudly boasts support from local governments, business organizations, pillars of water, community, and environmental justice leader. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

This land has been closed to the public for several years due to the state budget constraints and is currently in a state of disrepair. It encompasses a tribal cemetery, underscoring its profound, sacred, and cultural significance to the San Pasquale people. The tribe has a deep spiritual connection to this land that has endured despite generations of displacement and broken promises. Once the land is returned, the tribe plans to reopen the public park on this site, investing in its upkeep, and creating a space that will honor its heritage, tell its history, and share its culture with all Californians and visitors. Lastly, AB 2770 aligns perfectly with the state's newly launched tribal stewardship policy, which sets a statewide goal of expanding tribal stewardship of over 7.5 million acres of land in the state of California.

What disappears is our ability to respond, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1753 by Assemblymember Stephanie and others, an act related to protective orders. Assemblymember Stephanie, you're recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 1753, a legislative gun violence prevention working group priority bill. When a survivor walks into a courthouse and asks for protection, they are not simply asking for a piece of paper. They are asking for safety. They are asking for peace of mind and are placing their trust in a system that promises to protect them and their families. But too often, that promise is not fully kept. AB 1753 closes critical gaps in how protective orders are enforced and how firearms are kept out of the hands of people who pose a threat to others. This bill strengthens firearm prohibitions for individuals who have demonstrated dangerous behavior, improves coordination between courts in law enforcement and makes the system more accessible and safer for survivors. Every survivor deserves to live free from fear. Every family deserves to know that the law will protect them, and every community deserves to be safe from preventable gun violence. AB 1753 moves us closer to that goal. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1754 by Assemblymember Pacheco and others, an act relating to public finance.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. today I rise to present AB 1754, which will provide voters and lawmakers with information about whether bond funds are being spent as intended in achieving their desired outcomes AB 1754 requires succinct tracking and reporting on bond programs after the programs are completed. Current law requires some bond accounting and reporting, primarily to prevent fraud, but does not require reporting on whether bond-funded programs achieve their intended goals. As California becomes increasingly reliant on bonds to fund a variety of state and local needs, accountability and voter trust are more crucial than ever. AB 1754 is a straightforward transparency and accountability measure. The bill ensures that when voters approve bonds, we can demonstrate the results of those investments and improve future programs. I respectfully ask for an aye vote on this very important bill. Thank you.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1759 by Assemblymember El-Hawari, an act relating to prisons.

Good afternoon again, Mr. Speaker and members. I'm proud to present AB 22... Just kidding. 1759. Awkward. Okay, we're going to try that again. I'm proud to present AB 1759, a bill that will require the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation rehabilitation to hire an independent research group to assess the current prison classification system and provide recommendations for improvements. The review would focus on expanding access to rehabilitation programs, reducing recidivism and violence, and ensuring that incarcerated individuals are not placed in higher security levels than necessary. This bill received unanimous bipartisan support in the Assembly Policy Committees. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1769 by Assemblymember Ramos and others, and applicable to public post-secondary education.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I'm presenting AB 1769, which aims to facilitate the first articulation and seamless transfer process of courses for students attending tribal colleges and universities to California's post-secondary institutions. Currently, there is no tribal college articulation process to ensure the coursework completed at the three TCUs transfers seamlessly to higher education institutions in the state of California. With this gap in the articulation process for TCUs, students, they may be forced to retake courses that have already been completed or they may take longer to graduate from college. Developing and implementing transfer agreements and articulation programs for tribal college universities ensures that students who have traditionally been marginalized in education systems have access to the same process as students enrolled in other non I ask for your aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Ramos

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1775 by Assemblymember Ward and others, an act relating to veterans.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

AB 1775 has received bipartisan support and no registered opposition. Respectfully request your aye vote.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1789 by Assemblymember Berner, an act relating to the Political Reform Act of 1974.

Good evening, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 1789, if that's the right bill, A bipartisan bill that has received no no votes with the amendments out of appropriation has no opposition. AB 1789 is a good governance bill. It ensures that candidates and treasurers are equipped to comply with the state's campaign requirements by completing a training course on their campaign duties. These training courses include detailed requirements for committees, candidates, and treasurers for purposes of promoting transparency, accountability, and integrity in state and local campaigns. It's important that we make meaningful efforts to increase trust in government, and this is a common-sense approach to ensure that candidates and treasurers are properly equipped. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1810 by Assemblymember Berman and others, an act related to firearms.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. AB 1810 is a smart, targeted approach to improve oversight of California's firearm industry and crack down on firearms that were illegally possessed and used in a crime. This bill will provide the California Department of Justice with the necessary authority to hold firearm dealers accountable when they break the law and require yearly inspections of the top 10 dealers with the highest percentage of firearms with a time to crime of less than a year. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1818 by Assemblymember Ortega and others, an act relating to the California State University.

I rise to present AB 1818. The bill would make sure that collectively bargain contracts for CSU employees are honored. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1831 by Assemblymember Ahrens and others, an act relating to public post-secondary education.

Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1842 by Assemblymember Harbinian and others, an act relating to emergency relief.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm pleased to present AB 1842. to a bill establishing the California Emergency Mortgage Relief Act, which provides statewide mortgage forbearance for homeowners whose residents are rendered uninhabitable by a state or federally declared state of emergency. This bill is off of AB 238, the Mortgage Forbearance Act, which helped Palisades and Eden fire victims. This would help any district going forward that suffered the same fate. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you Mr. Speaker and colleagues I rise in proud support and as a joint author of the first measure last year and I want to thank our colleague from Altadena for leading the way on this respectfully ask for an aye vote

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1847 by Assemblymember Harbinian and others, an act related to wildlife relief.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. AB 1847 would continue and extend mortgage forbearance for fire victims in the Palisades and Eden Fires. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1864 by Assemblymember Berman, an act relating to Gene synthesis.

Speaker. AB 1864 is a proactive common sense approach that would require providers of synthetic genes and manufacturers of gene synthesis equipment to screen orders for dangerous pathogen sequences and verify customer legitimacy. This would prevent the misuse of gene synthesis technology and protect Californians against the threat of bioterrorism. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1891 by Assemblymember Connolly and others, an accolade into forestry.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Proud to present AB 1891. It will provide necessary funding for tribal organizations and community-led beneficial fire programs. by investing 10% of GGRF funding allocated to Cal Fire to beneficial fire. Beneficial fire reduces catastrophic wildfire risk, protects wildlife habitat, improves forest health, and supports California's climate mitigation goals by preventing extreme fire emissions. AB 1891 recognizes that tribal and community-based organizations are essential to meeting California's wildfire resilience goals, not just state agencies. This bill has received bipartisan support. No opposition.

Hadwick, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise in support of AB 1891. California must increase its capacity to do controlled burns and protect fire-threatened communities. For thousands of years, our Native Americans have used fire to steward the land, protect their tribes, and keep forests and ecosystems healthy. This bill ensures tribes and indigenous-led organizations receive a meaningful share of funding so that this work is guided by the people with generations of experience caring for California's lands. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you to my colleague and respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1901 by Assemblymember Berman, an act relating to product safety.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A year ago, I had never changed a diaper. I had the privilege of doing that this morning with my baby boy. AB 1901 would require manufacturers of children's diapers to clearly label all ingredients on both the product's package and online. Following discussions with stakeholders, the bill was recently amended to align the implementation date for on-package and online disclosure and clarify how ingredients are listed. This will help Californians make the best decision for their families when buying the one thing that is touching their baby's skin literally every minute for the first couple of years of their lives.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1927 by Assemblymember Krell, an act relating to bail.

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. This bill seeks to crack down on a new and pernicious form of fraud by fake bail agents, posing as bail agents and targeting vulnerable people and their families. This has a support, support recommendation. Respectfully ask for your aye vote on AB 1927.

Assemblymember 1940 by Assemblymember Calderon and others an act relating to civil rights

Thank you Mr. Speaker AB 1940 updates the Fair Employment and Housing Act to include menopause within the definition of sex menopause can bring a wide variety of symptoms including physical emotional and cognitive changes. Women make up roughly half the population and about 57% of women are participating in the workforce meaning menopause will impact a significant portion of employees during their careers. Unfortunately workplace standards have historically been designed without these realities in mind. AB 1940 raises awareness and provides clear protections so employees can continue to contribute fully and fairly in their roles. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1949 by Assemblymember Lee and others, and I'm going to be the Medi-Cal.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to present AB 19. 1849, which acupuncture has its own Medi-Cal benefit, allowing patients to access up to 24 acupuncture visits per year, ensuring more Californians can receive safe, effective pain management. This bill will improve patient health outcomes and reduce use of higher-cost services while maintaining responsible use of state resources. Respectfully ask for aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of this bill. When I came back from combat, they tried everything, and we used some Eastern medicine and acupuncture. And let me tell you, it changed my life. It changed the lives of fellow veterans. So I rise in support, and I challenge my colleagues to support it as well.

Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 1964 by Assemblymember Bennett and others, an accolade to home heartening.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. AB 1964 requires the state fire marshal to conduct a survey that identifies the number of homes in moderate to very high fire severity zones and how many have achieved home hardening. This bill has received unanimous support in all of its committees. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

I-63, no-0.

Assemblymember 1980 by Assemblymember Coloza, an act relating to employment.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm here to present AB 1980. It's a bill to support women in construction, especially in the pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship program. It's a port-to-port. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

tally votes. I 61, no 0. The measure passes.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 1997, which reduces from 60 days down to 30 days of that period of time a lead agency has to approve or deny an affordable housing project's EIR after the lead agency certifies the AR. This faster timeline only applies to projects that are 90% affordable to very low or extremely low-income households and requires the project applicant to have provided written notice to the agency specifics about the project's financing. This bill has received bipartisan support, and I ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Lee. All debate

Assembly Bill 2003 by Assemblymember Berman and others, enacting the pupil health and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. It's a time to raise greater awareness, highlight resources, and continue to support the individuals and communities who need it most. It's with that spirit that I present AB 2003, which urgently responds to the ongoing youth mental health crisis. Too many communities across California have been devastated by youth suicides, including my hometown of Palo Alto. We must do everything we possibly can to prevent these tragedies. AB 2003 provides a tangible solution by establishing a free, permanent, online suicide prevention training program for all students 13 and older, as well as all K-12 staff, administrators, and parents. Suicide is preventable, and this life-saving training is essential to equip students, educators, and families with the knowledge, tools, and resources to recognize the warning signs and be better prepared to support youth who need help. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Ayes 63, no zero.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Ayes 63, no zero on the urgency. Ayes 63, no zero on the measure.

Assembly Bill 2017 by Assemblymember Haney and others and I'm relating to state holidays.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I am proud to present AB 2017, the California Eid State Holiday Act, which will recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as state holidays in California. California is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in the country. Yet our state does not, our state calendar does not reflect these deeply significant observances. Eid is the most holy day in Islam marked by prayer, reflection, charity, and community, and is observed by over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide. Despite this, Muslim students across California are often forced to choose between attending school or fully observing their holidays. Employees face this same burden when workplaces do not formally recognize Eid. other jurisdictions including washington state new york city and several major school districts have already taken steps to formally recognize eid ab 2017 will bring california in line with these efforts by adding edel fitter and edel ada to the state holiday calendar while maintaining flexibility for courts and local educational agencies this approach mirrors how California recognizes observances such as Lunar New Year and Diwali This bill comes at a particularly important moment Across our country, we are seeing rising hate, division, and misunderstanding directed at many communities, including Muslim Americans. Just this past week, we saw a horrifying act of hate and violence in San Diego that has deeply shaken many of our communities and reminded us that hate and extremism still exists in very real ways. When children grow up learning about and respecting each other's traditions and holidays, they grow up understanding that our diversity is something to celebrate, not fear. Recognition matters. It will send a message to Muslim students and families that they belong, that they are seen, and that their traditions are valued in California. Thank you, Eid Mubarak, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Ayes 55, no 0.

Assembly Bill 2032 by Assemblymember Ransom, an act related to fish and wildlife, and declaring the OCC thereof to take effect immediately.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Colleagues, I rise to present AB 2032, an urgent action request to allow local water agencies to quickly and effectively respond to the invasive golden mussel species. My community in San Joaquin County and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta has been ground zero for the golden mussel infestation, seeing the impacts firsthand. First detected in October 2024 in the Delta, the mussel has rapidly spread across the Delta along the state water project and is now as far south as San Diego. The golden mussels form dense colonies on critical water infrastructure, clogging and degrading our water delivery system across the state. This directly threatens our water systems that provide water to millions of Californians and millions of acres of farmland. Dealing with the golden mussels has cost China $4 billion annually, and the invasive mussel is already costing California's local water agencies millions in operation and maintenance costs. AB 2032 will combat the spread of golden mussels by equipping the local water agencies with the necessary tools to expedite their responses to prevent, mitigate, control, and eradicate golden mussels. Without urgent action, California families will bear the cost through higher water rates and increased food prices. AB 2032 ensures that we can act quickly to address the ongoing golden mussel crisis. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And I just want to thank my colleague from Tracy. The time is now to deal with golden mussels. We are on the precipice of an infiltration the likes of which we may not be able to overcome. So I thank my colleague from Tracy, and I say hear, hear, and respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you Mr Speaker I also want to rise in support of AB 2032 and thank my colleague for her work on this important issue I also just want to remind people of all of the economies and small businesses that rely on all of the recreation in many of our districts that are also being threatened because of this infiltration. So appreciate the bill and happy to support. Thank you.

Yes, Mr. Speaker. This bill is about us being proactive and about us being responsive. and getting ahead of an issue that could cost us billions of dollars. This is a bipartisan bill, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

The clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes 58, noes 1. On the urgency, ayes 58, noes 1. On the measure, the measure passes.

Assembly Bill 2047 by Assemblymember Bauer-Cahan and others, and that relates to firearms.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. This is a bill that gets right at the heart of the problem of 3D printed guns. It ensures that our printers here in California will not print the guns, and we will be able to manage firearms through a licensed, permitted system. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Ayes 45, noes 18.

Assembly Bill 2048 by Assemblymember Calderone and others, an act relating to international relations.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present AB 2048. This bill will establish the California-Ireland Trade Commission within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development. Ireland is a vital partner to California, and a formal trade commission will further promote bilateral economic investment. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

I's 61, no zero.

Assembly Bill 2143 by Assemblymember Irwin and others. An act related to invasive species.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The impact that noxious weeds have on our agricultural lands is devastating. The Department of Food and Agriculture maintains a publicly available list of noxious weeds and has banned the sale of these weeds through regulations. Despite these efforts, many noxious weeds continue to be sold without restraint through online e-commerce marketplaces. AB 2143 addresses this issue by banning online marketplaces from accepting payments for noxious weeds that can be to a delivery address in this state. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

A question for the Assemblymember?

By chance, is this your last bill from the House of Origin?

Can I just say, I'm going to miss you as well as all of your colleagues here. But we still got that up until August, but thank you for your service and all the great bills you bring across.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just a quick question for the author.

Yes. I was just wondering who is going to be the next chair of the Orange Theory Caucus after you're done.

Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

I 65, no 0, the measure passes.

Assembly Bill 2150 by Assemblymember Haney, in app related to employment.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. AB 2150 will require employees who are already CPR certified as part of their job to complete a brief naloxone training module, which will equip them to respond effectively to opioid overdoses. Every year, thousands of Californians die from drug-related overdoses with nearly 70% involving opioids. By ensuring that CPR certified staff are also trained to administer naloxone, AB2150 will strengthen our frontline response and help to save lives. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

I-65, no-0.

Assembly Bill 2157 by Assemblymember Connolly and others, an act relating to workforce development.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. rise to present AB 2157. It will eliminate the sunset date for the Displaced Oil and Gas Workers Fund, commonly known as DOGWUF. DOGWUF is the only state program of its kind that helps address the needs of displaced workers in the oil and gas sector by supporting them in training and transitioning into jobs that match their skills expertise and offer comparable and the wages This is why the Dogwith program is so important It has created the opportunity for workers to engage in diverse pathways to new employment in multiple sectors of the economy AB 2157 will allow workers to continue accessing the benefits of the Dogwith program by removing its sunset dates. amendments taken in appropriations committee eliminate the requirement for an additional study to reduce the cost burden on the state and with that i respectfully ask for an aye vote

Clerk will close the roll, tally the vote. Ayes 42, noes 20.

Assembly Bill 2160 by Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez, an act relating to Medi-Cal.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am proud to present AB 2160 on behalf of Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez. AB 2160 requires the Department of Health Care Services to issue guidance clarifying health care coverage policies for lactation services, including health education, basic lactation support and consultation, and to streamline access to services. This bill will ensure that we have the same standards of care for breastfeeding services across the state. AB 2160 has received bipartisan support and aligns with California's broader maternal health equity goals. On behalf of Assemblymember Rodriguez, I respectfully request an aye vote.

Assembly Bill 2161 by Assemblymember Bonta and others and I'm going to Medi-Cal.

Good early evening, Mr. Speaker and members. AB 2434, the Visitor Protections and Safety Act, is a women's caucus priority bill with bipartisan support and no opposition. This bill will protect visitors from arbitrary visits and visit denials to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation prison visiting rooms. The bill would establish clear enforceable standards for a visit so that one cannot be denied, require written documentation when a visitor is turned away, and establish guardrails for searches. AB 2434 codifies already existing California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation search regulations for prison visitation. Such regulations include searches that are non-contact, same-gender, private, and witnessed by a second same-gender staff member. AB 2434 is necessary because most of California's visitation rules are not set in statute and vary widely by facility. As a result, visitors routinely experience disappointing and inconsistent treatments. For example, in 2024, CDCR entered a $5.6 million settlement with Christina Cardenas, a woman who tried to visit her husband but was illegally forced to strip, take a drug test, a pregnancy test, and subjected to forceful penetration of her genitalia by a male physician AB 2434 helps end these violations of women as they are trying to visit their loved ones Women are the primary visitors of incarcerated people National research shows that one in four women and nearly one in two black women have a family member in prison. 55% of women see their loved ones only once a month or a few times a year, and over a quarter never see their incarcerated loved one at all. Yet, according to 50 years of empirical study, By the Prison Policy Initiative, maintaining family connection during incarceration is one of the most important policies to support successful reentry. AB 2434 protects women, children, and communities and rebuilds our certainty around visitation in prison. I respectfully request your aye vote.

I respectfully request your vote on AB 2161, which is a Medi-Cal work permit bill.

Ayes 44, noes 10.

Assembly Bill 2201 by Assemblymember Berner and others. Back to Medi-Cal.

Good evening, Mr. Speaker and members. AB 2201 will help minimize the negative impacts of HR1 on Medi-Cal. It will help streamline the Medi-Cal verification process, removing administrative barriers that could cause people to lose Medi-Cal health coverage even when they remain eligible. The bill enjoys bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

I bring that up because the bill works with AB 130, which we all passed last year, which imposed a six-year moratorium on proposal or addition of new state building code standards. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and members. Assembly Bill 2633 clarifies that gold buyers who purchase gold for remote events must follow the requirements outlined in statute for second-hand dealers. pawnbrokers. This bill is support, support. Respectfully ask when I vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, retirement savings are important for everyone to have. However, many do not plan for it until it is too late. Cal Savers was created by this body in 2016 to tackle California's retirement savings crisis. However, the current Cal Savers program faces multiple challenges which have affected implementation and require updating. AB 2650 enacts the Save for All Workers Act to allow Cal Savers to assist participants in claiming federal government retirement benefits by cutting red tape and streamlining the process. As a result, we can gain $136 million a year for Cal Savers participants. This bill has no opposition and enjoyed bipartisan support and Assembly Labor Committee. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assemblymember Coloza, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm here to present AB 2717. California is home to some of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in the world. to name a few, Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, the Coliseum in Oakland, and of course I know everyone's favorite stadium, the Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. I just wanted to see if you guys are awake. But so AB 2717 extends an existing sunset date to January 1st, 2032 to ensure that sports arenas that hold 15,000 seats or more are able to keep seeking local approval for off-site advertising displays connected to their operations. This bill is support, support. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assemblymember Schiavo, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I first want to start by talking about Assembly Bill 2720 by thanking our Santa Clarita Human trafficking task force they do so much important work in our district and they actually brought me this idea this bill would facilitate the recovery of trafficking survivors by ensuring that medium and large law enforcement agencies designate and train at least one human trafficking support coordinator this measure measure also requires those agencies to lists trusted community-based organizations available to support survivors on their website. It takes a whole community approach to successfully protect human trafficking survivors from continued harm, and I respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. AB 2748 delays the implementation of the requirement for installation of low-power level 2 electric vehicle charging receptacles that is outlined in the 2025 California Green Building Standards Code. This applies only to 100% affordable housing developments. This would allow housing developers additional time to comply with the new EV charging readiness requirements and balances two state priorities, producing more affordable housing and reaching our climate goals. Members I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

This is my last bill going to the Senate.

Dr. Sharp-Collins, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present Assembly Bill 2760 which strengthens oversight of local public safety systems. Existing law allows County Board of Supervisors to create an office of the Inspector General to help them fulfill their oversight duties. My particular county, San Diego County, has asked to expand that the OIG oversight to include probation and also animal control. This bill allows that oversight that the county board already is required to do to be performed by an inspector general that reports back to the board. This bill will only apply elsewhere if the county board of supervisors opts to create an OIG office, and even then, the oversight by the OIG is permissive and not required. So with that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

You are recognized. Appreciate that, Mr. Speaker. We want to start as members. AB 1619 would increase trustee stipend limits for county employees' retirement system boards, California state teachers' retirement systems, and California public employees' retirement system. This bill has enjoyed bipartisan support. With that, I respectfully ask for a yes vote.

Assemblymember Addis, you are recognized. Thank you Mr Speaker I here to present 2486 that extends and strengthens the California Children Services Advisory Group and I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Addis All debate having ceased clerk will open the roll All members vote who desire to vote

Assemblymember Addis, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm here to present AB 1539, the Protect Our Democracy Act, which would make it a crime, a felony crime under penalty of perjury, to place a candidate for president or vice president on the ballot who is ineligible due to constitutional term limits under the 22nd and 12th amendments. And I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Speaker and members. Proud to present AB 1585, a straightforward bill which will require that wine labeled as American be made from 100% American-grown grapes. Under current law, wine that is labeled Californian must contain 100% California-grown wine. AB 1585 simply aligns the American appellation with the requirements for the Californian appellation. This bill is a support support, has received no no votes, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise as a strong and proud co-author of AB 1585, and I want to thank my colleague from San Rafael for his leadership on this effort. California's agricultural industry is suffering, and the wine industry is in crisis. Growers and small wineries are facing challenges, and many of them have employees that are struggling to hold on to their jobs. But California produces over 80% of all American wine. We have a vested interest in ensuring that there is truth in labeling. AB 1585 ensures that what's on the label reflects what's actually in the bottle and aligns wine with how we treat other grape products. If grape juice, table grapes, or jam are labeled made in America, they must be 100% American grown. Wine should meet the same standard, and this is a California first bill. and with that I respectfully ask for you to join us with an aye vote.

Assemblymember Connolly do you wish to close? Yes, right back up my colleague with thanks and appreciation. We respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you

Assemblymember Coloza, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
