Thank you. members quorum is present quorum is present we ask our guests and visitors in the rear of the chamber and in the gallery to please stand for today's prayer Please stand. Reverend Noshta will offer today's prayer.
Reverend Noshta. Please join me in a moment of reflection. Years ago, when I served the large Los Angeles temple in Little Tokyo, nine-year-old Tabo Mori, the son of the new head minister, asked me, Reverend Bob, how old do you have to be to die? Not for the first time was I surprised by the questions of a young curious mind. Wondering what motivated his question, I asked, how old do you think you have to be to die? He responded, well, my grandfather died and he was pretty old. Then he added, and my dad's friend died and he was the same age as my dad. The reason for his question was revealed when next he said, I'm at a new school now and I heard that a kid that would have been in my third grade class died over the summer. He's my age. We sat in silence as he considered all that he just shared with me. Then he said softly, I guess you could be any age and die, huh? I agreed, saying, you know, I think you're right. Again, we sat in silence. Finally with his head slowly nodding he said knowingly life pretty interesting huh To that I wholeheartedly agreed As my young friend wisdom eyes opened he was able to embrace his deep wonderment all on his own And not for the first time I was made to realize, as thousands in Nepal and Tibet are experiencing now, our lives can be suddenly swept away, for there is no guarantee of even one more day. so I must try not to take for granted each precious day. Namo Amidam. Let us try to live with kindness and gratitude beyond the words.
We ask our guests and visitors to remain standing to join us in the flag salute. Assemblymember El-Hawari will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Happy Sunday, members. Please join me for the Pledge of Allegiance of the United States of America. Place your right hand over your heart. Ready, begin. The Pledge of Allegiance. To the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, and there by God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. You may be seated.

Senate Bill 615 by Senator Allen and others, an act relating to vehicle transaction batteries.
Assemblymember Bauer-Cahan, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. On behalf of Senator Allen, I rise to present SB 615, which would create labeling requirements in order to promote easy identification, safe handling, and efficient recycling at the end of life for our EV batteries in California. As the batteries in electric vehicles approach their end of life, rather than ending up as hazardous waste, there is an opportunity to promote repair, remanufacturing, repurpose into energy storage, and recycling to recover valuable critical minerals like lithium. SB 615 is recently amended puts into place just one recommendation from the 2022 lithium battery advisory group which focuses on the labeling and clear and consistent labels to help the secondary handlers understand how to use these batteries and put them into better safe and proper use at the end of their lives. With that,
I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you Assemblymember Bauer-Cahan. All debate having seized, 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

Senate Bill 1256 by Senator Jones, an act relating to land use.
Assemblymember Alanis, you are recognized. Just a moment. Thank you, members. Respect to the authors. Assemblymember Alanis, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present SB 1256 on behalf of Senator Jones. This measure prevents duplicative litigation and needless delays in the building of much-needed new homes. While California faces a severe housing shortage, we should not allow the same issues to be relitigated in ways that delay the construction of homes that families and communities need. I respectfully ask for your vote.

Senate Bill 1383 by Senator Araguin and others, an act relating to housing.
Assemblymember Haney, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. members, I rise to present Senate Bill 1383 on behalf of Senator Araguin. It is a narrowly tailored amendment to the state density bonus law to make clear that projects which qualify for incentives and concessions in exchange for providing on-site affordable units cannot waive locally adopted labor standards Recent amendments narrowed the scope so that these labor standards cannot be waived only for buildings over 85 feet in height We all agree that we need to build more housing and the density bonus law is a critical tool to do that, but increasing our housing supply cannot come at the expense of the workers who build it. This will ensure that increasing our housing supply does not come at the expense of worker protections, a good paying job, or construction quality. With thoughtful negotiations, amendments have moved much of the opposition to neutral, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.
Thank you, Assemblymember Haney. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Senate Bill 900 by Senator McNerney and others, an act relating to the Political Reform Act of 1974.
Assemblymember Solache, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. SB 900 updates and strengthens the California's existing campaign disclosures rules by making formatting changes to better clarify who is paying for political advertisements. California has passed a number of disclosure laws, which have increased visibility into outside spending groups and led the more transparent political advertising framework. However, lengthy disclosures on billboards and other large print ads take too much space, make them difficult to read, especially given how wordy committee names can be. This bill allows advertisers to shorten the length of required disclosures by formatting the disclosure message and improving commonly known abbreviations. I respectfully ask for an aye on SB 900.

The clerk will read.
Senate Bill 905 by Senator Becker and others, an act relating to electricity.
Assemblymember Berner, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. On behalf of Senator Becker, I rise to present SB 905. SB 905 is focused on fixing structural problems that have led to unaffordable electricity bills. This bill makes several changes to improve incentives. It focuses on ensuring utilities are spending money better, not just spending more money. SB 905 authorizes the CPUC to give the utilities a lower return on equity for low-risk investments, such as undergrounding. Additionally, it requires utilities to report their grid utilization metrics so we can get the most out of the lines and wires we already have built. Finally, SB 905 includes alternative financing to lower costs of investment. Unfortunately, there's no silver bullet that we have to make electricity bills more affordable. this bill attempts to chip away at the structural problems that contribute to high rates. On behalf of myself and Senator Becker I respectfully ask I ask for an aye vote.
Thank you, Assemblymember Berner. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

In 2024, the governor signed my AB 2839 to prohibit the distribution of AI-altered, materially deceptive campaign advertisements and other election communications during critical times around an election. This bill adds flexibility for election-related satirical contact, limits those individuals who can seek injunctive relief and damages to those who are depicted in the fraudulent material, and narrows the time frame of these protections that would change it from 120 days to 30 days before an election. These changes make it easier for a court to uphold key provisions of AB 2839, and the bill enjoys the support of our Attorney General. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Senate Bill 1367 by Senator Cervantes and others, and I believe it's a land use. Assemblymember Calra, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present Senate Bill 1367 today on behalf of Senator Sabrina Cervantes. SB 1367 prohibits cities and counties from approving new land uses that would allow the construction of detention facilities or permit the conversion of existing buildings into such facilities. Amendments in Assembly of local governments simply include findings that the changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and therefore apply to all cities, including charter cities. The goal of SB 1367 is to protect California residents from their rapid expansion or private detention facilities, particularly those not designed for long-term human habitation. Facilities that are unsuitable for holding people, whether for short or long periods, constrain local infrastructure and pose serious risks to the well-being of detainees. SB 1367 ensures that its land-use policies are not used to facilitate human rights abuse. It builds on the state's leadership in limiting detention expansion and moves us closer to a future rooted in dignity, safety, and accountability. For these reasons, I respectfully ask for an aye vote on SB 1367.

Members, please to present SB 344 on behalf of Senator Weber Pearson, which would declare the City of San Diego's subsequent EIR for the Midway Rising Project compliant with the California Environmental Quality Act under specific conditions. The Midway Rising Project, which is situated in a centrally located but severely underutilized location, combines one of California's largest affordable housing commitments, delivering approximately 2,000 units of affordable housing with 14.5 acres of parks and open space, commercial uses, and a new entertainment center to replace the existing one-owner site, all under construction with a project labor agreement. While the City of San Diego has engaged through multiple environmental reviews for almost a decade and has prepared a full project EIR the project continues to be at risk of lawsuits threatening a delay of the construction of crucially needed affordable housing which would in turn would threaten financial feasibility of delivering the full 2 affordable housing units SB 344 would establish a narrow project-specific pathway for the Midway Rising Project by providing that the final subsequent EIR is sufficient, adequate, and complete for CEQA compliance. Colleagues, SB 344 has received bipartisan support, and I respectfully request your aye vote.
Thank you, Assemblymember Ward. Assemblymember DeMaio, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong opposition to SB 344. This is the companion bill I referenced last week on the statewide CEQA exemption on building height limit in the coastal zone, which is insane that we're even considering doing that. This would be project-specific. Last week's bill was statewide. This is project-specific. doesn't make it any less bad because our coastal zone in San Diego, in the Midway District, height is a key environmental impact. We have our laws. They are applied across the state. But time and time again, rich developers, they are able to get loopholes and exemptions from the laws that everyone else has to apply with or comply with as long as they have enough connections. And that is the wrong way to do development. If we want to reform CEQA, let's reform CEQA statewide. But to sit here and say a politically connected developer gets an exemption, that is an awful message. Some would say it's corrupt. And in fact, in this project specifically, the developer that won the bid gave a $100,000 contribution to a political party associated with the mayor right before getting a bid, and he didn't have the same amount of experience as the other bidders. This project stinks to high heaven, adding a special bill for an exemption at the state level, putting our thumb on the scale after citizens won a lawsuit on the issue of environmental impacts of the height limit. It really will undermine public trust and confidence in this body. I urge you to vote down SB 344, particularly because of the environmental impacts. Thank you.
Thank you, Assemblymember DeMaio. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Ward, do you wish to close?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would. Just a thing, if nothing else, to be able to set the record straight on what this does and doesn't do and also recite some of the history around this bill, because I was there on City Council in 2018 when we adopted the Midway Community Planning Area Community Plan Update, for which an EIR was prepared and certified and actually successfully not challenged. So you have the idea that that planning group, including the planning group that supports this very same project, wants to be able to see for a very large city-owned piece of land to be able to do what we want to see, a new sports area, 2,000 units of affordable housing, which we desperately need, new park space. This even has a new space for a daycare center, which we also need a lot more of, and other community benefits as well, and we know what happens. So one, two, three EIRs have been prepared now for this, and another EIR is coming up again this fall for the city of San Diego, subsequent to those other approved and certified EIRs as well, and we know what will happen. That is likely to face more lawsuits, more delays, which, of course, no matter who wins at the trial court level, will be appealed, which means probably, at best, four to five years of additional delay, and what happens when a project of this size, 2,000 units of affordable housing and all the other community benefits that go with that gets delayed Costs go up And to be able to support that level of affordability 2 units at 80 or below of AMI you need to make sure that you are right on the nose when it comes to your project economics. When those costs go up, we lose affordability. That will be a guarantee. This is not an unprecedented action, but one where you see something of statewide significance, this time in the form of affordable housing. last year in the form of needs for Kern County to be able to say enough is enough with the lawsuits. We want to make sure that we have certainty, and that is exactly what SB 344 does, is to provide that certainty after almost a decade of exhausting environmental review, community outreach, and making sure we deliver on what the public demands are facing our local city. Colleagues, again, with bipartisan support coming out of our policy committee, I respectfully ask for your vote on SB 344.
Thank you, Assemblymember Ward. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. This is a 54-vote bill. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes. I-62, Nose 2 on the urgency. I-60, excuse me, I-61, Nose 2 on the urgency. I-61, Nose 2 on the measure. Senate amendments are concurred in. File item 40 is AB-686 by Assemblymember Berman. Clerk will read. Assembly Bill 686 by Assemblymember Berman and others, an act relating to elections. Assemblymember Berman, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your AB 686 would extend until January 1st, 2031, California's current prohibition on distributing deepfakes and manipulated media of political candidates within 60 days of an election unless labeled as manipulated. I respectfully ask for an aye vote on concurrence in Senate amendments.
Thank you, Assemblymember Berman. Assemblymember DeMaio, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to AB 686. a bill that basically tells the critics of politicians, don't you get creative, don't you get funny with your criticism of us. I think we should nickname the bill, because you know I like to nickname bills, the Thin-Skinned Politicians Act. Because satire is as old as, I don't know, Ben Franklin started publishing cartoons. This is America. free speech. Making fun of our politicians is a national pastime. And it's a bipartisan pastime. But here in California, we're setting a really bad unconstitutional precedent when we pass bills like AB 686. Now, I know that the supporters of AB 686 will say, we're not banning satire. They can still make fun of us as long as they have the proper legal disclaimers in the right font size with the right box, and if they put a two-point line box behind it, it has to be up for a certain amount of time. Are you joking me? At least own what you're trying to do. You don't like people poking fun at you during the campaign season. And I would go as far as suggesting that there's probably some people that you're trying to target here, people who have been very effective with this, like Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles, perhaps. This is going to get challenged in court. The last time this body tried to ban political satire on the Internet using artificial intelligence It was immediately stopped by a federal court thankfully Why are we repeating this? Knowingly passing unconstitutional laws. And in the meantime, we chill free speech, we're intimidating people, we're bullying people, and the person that does challenge the law has to hire an attorney at their expense. And we ultimately will likely pay for that attorney and our own legal costs as well when we lose the case on First Amendment grounds. So I urge you, get a bit thicker skin. It's okay for some satire. Let's allow political discourse to run its course. Please vote no on AB 686.
Thank you, Assemblymember DeMaio. Assemblymember Wilson, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of AB-686, and I just want to use some stuff that has been going on in my district recently. We have had hot topics in my district in AD-11, and we've seen black women. We have 16 black women elected in our county, and we have seen racist targeted things that relate to AI slop and things of that nature, including to the point where some of it you couldn't tell that it wasn't real where it showed them receiving money and saying statements that they supposedly said in a council meeting and it wasn't true and you couldn't distinguish whether it was true or not and your average person would believe that their council member got up in a council meeting and said these types of things. And so when you're misrepresenting even government meetings in these types of ads or it should be banned. We should not be allowed to do that. It's one thing, as my colleague from San Diego noted, to have satire, and we should allow people to have satire. But what we're seeing in the political discourse is misinformation and targeting candidates, particularly candidates of color, with some very egregious things that they would never say or do. And people are doing that using artificial intelligence and things of that nature. So I rise in strong support, And I ask that we protect people from this type of political harm, because what comes after that is usually some type of violence where you're sharing people's addresses or going to their homes or things of that nature. And so if we want to keep the discourse at a level where people's families aren't harmed, that we need to deal with issues like this. So I ask for a strong eye on AB 686.
Thank you, Assemblymember Wilson. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Berman, do you wish to close?
Well, I want to thank my colleague from Sassoon City for her comments on the bill and to my colleague from San Diego. I was going to try not to get deep into this because this is actually the third time I've presented this because this is the second sunset extension of a law that was created in 2019. So folks have had seven years to challenge this on constitutionality grounds. No one has. And I know that there are folks out there that aren't shy about challenging bills. And what this bill is very narrowly crafted so that it meets First Amendment strict scrutiny is that it says that you cannot create and disseminate AI-generated content of candidates running for office within 60 days of an election. Because while the First Amendment gives you the right to say what you want to say, it does not give you the right to put your words into my mouth. And that is what artificial intelligence technology deepfakes allow people to do. And it's gotten that much easier for people to do. to do that since the first time I presented the bill on this floor seven years ago. So I am confident that this bill is, this law that we are extending is constitutional. I think it's very narrowly targeted at the most egregious type of content that's meant to give the impression of candidates running for office saying or doing something that they never said or did. I'm surprised that anybody is opposed to it. And I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Members, please report to the floor. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Thank you. Members, we're going to begin with file item 118. File item 118. File item number 118 is SB 1394 by Senator Gonzalez, presented by our Assistant Speaker Pro Tem. The clerk will read. Senate Bill 1394 by Senator Gonzalez and others, not only in the state holidays. Assemblymember Rodriguez, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm proud to present Senate Bill 1394 on behalf of Senator Gonzalez, which changes the date of the newly established Farmworker Day holiday in recognition of the generations of farmworkers who have helped feed California. When we talk about and honor our farmworkers, we must acknowledge them for all that they are, the hands that feed our state and our entire nation. This is work led by our immigrant communities. It is hard work. It is work that sustains families from the fields to our tables. And it is work that deserves recognition. I represent the San Fernando Valley and our history is deeply connected to agriculture. Long before the neighborhoods and communities we know today, our valley was filled with citrus groves ranches and farmland This history is personal to the communities I represent It is part of our culture our families and the foundation of the valley we call home When we tell the story of the farmworker movement we should tell the whole story This was never the story of one person It was a movement built by thousands of people who organized across cultures and communities and put their livelihoods and sometimes their safety on the line to demand dignity. Dolores Huerta saw the children of farmworkers coming into her classroom hungry and realized that teaching alone wasn't enough. She needed to organize. She went on to become one of the most consequential labor leaders and organizers in California in our nation's history. Larry Itilong and Philip Berracruz organized Filipino workers who stood up against exploitation in the fields. Mexican and Filipino workers ultimately stood together across language and culture because they understood something simple. It is a lot harder to ignore working people when they are all standing together. Farmworkers fought for fair wages, safer working conditions, the right to organize, and something even more fundamental, the right to be treated with dignity. From the Bracero program to the farmworker movement to the present day, it is our immigrant communities who have fed us and who continue to show up despite the historical attacks they have faced. It doesn't matter if you're a Republican or a Democrat, whether you live in an urban neighborhood or a rural community. we all eat food that was picked, harvested, and brought to our tables by farmworkers. Farmworkers have spent generations showing up for California. Farmworker Day is one small way California can show up for them. SB 1394 will change the date of the newly established Farmworker Day holiday from March 31st to April 10th. This date corresponds to a historic event from the farmworker labor movement. the end of the Great Delano Grape Strike in March 1966. Over 300 miles, that once modest march grew from seven striking farmworkers to over 10,000 supporters and led to the signing of significant contracts with growers. Let us commemorate this historic date by voting aye on SB 1394. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Assemblymember Rodriguez. Assemblymember Soria, you are recognized.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise as a proud daughter of farmworker immigrants. To me, this is actually very special because as someone that grew up in a farmworker household, as a young girl, I remember waking up very early morning to travel with my parents and go to work on the weekends and during our summer breaks. And so I've known personally how hard farm workers have worked. I also recognize the tremendous amount of history that farm workers have made in this great state and in this nation
by not only working and making us the fourth largest economy, but throughout history by fighting for what is right, for what is just, and what they deserve each and every day. And I believe that today we're sending a message to all farm workers who during COVID, if we all remember, we called them essential. And so today we send them a message that we recognize their value, not just today, but the value and their contributions for many, many decades to this great state of California. And so I want to thank Senator Gonzalez for bringing this measure forward, where not only my family can proudly stand and say my family is being recognized, but thousands of families in this great state may have been recognized. have gone through the fields and today can look and say that they are being recognized for their contributions. So I stand proud and I urge both Republicans and Democrats to support this because we're sending a message to our farm workers. And as someone that represents also a district that is heavily ag and we have thousands of families that still today, even this morning, woke up early to make sure that they work hard so that you and I can enjoy the delicious foods that we eat each and every day. So again, I rise today in support of SB 1394 and I hope to see this, you know, all the names lit with green saying that we too support farm workers in the state of California. Thank you, Assemblymember Soria. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Rodriguez, do you wish to close? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I ask that we recognize farmworkers every day at every mill and vote aye to recognize Farmworker Day on April 10th in California. Thank you. Thank you, Assemblymember Rodriguez.

Senate Bill 813 by Senator McNerney and others, an act relating to artificial intelligence. Senator Bauer-Cahan, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I rise to present SB 813 by Senator McNerney. AI is rapidly becoming a part of everyday life, and we are starting to see the ramifications of AI, especially in the cybersecurity space. Every single day there is an article about these models and the risk that they may pose to the cybersecurity of both private industry but also state and our critical infrastructure. And Senator McNerney now, this is his second year working on this bill, is working to ensure that we have standards and entities that can create a flexible framework for independent third-party assessments of our AI systems and models. This bill specifically establishes independent verification organizations to provide independent assessments of AI systems. It creates requirements for the IVOs to ensure that they have appropriate expertise, use credible methodologies, and remain independent from the entities that they verify. The bill is intended to bring stakeholders together to identify effective approaches for evaluating AI systems. By establishing this framework, California can encourage greater confidence in AI systems while allowing the approach to evolve alongside the technology. This can be good both for our safety, our cybersecurity, and our economy. As the home of many of the world's leading AI companies and researchers, California has an opportunity to develop a political framework, practical framework for independent evaluation of AI systems and help build public trust in technology.

Assemblymember Cork-Silva, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker and members, I rise today to adjourn in the memory of Kathleen Cathy Kerrigan-Dazny, a longtime Fullerton resident, librarian, educator, and dedicated community volunteer who passed away last year. Kathy was born in Connecticut where she earned her bachelor's degree from St. Joseph College and her master's degree from Trinity College. She began her career as an elementary school teacher before eventually settling in Fullerton with her husband George in 1972. Kathy called Fullerton home for 50 years and dedicated 25 years to the city of Fullerton as a librarian serving as both Hunt Branch Library Manager and Children Library Services Manager before retiring in 2005 A lifelong advocate for children and lover of books Kathy devoted herself to encouraging young people to read and learn Even after retirement she continued volunteering in local schools as a weekly reader and sharing holiday story programs with countless classrooms. I know this firsthand as she used to come into my third grade classroom and read weekly. Her commitment to Fullerton extended throughout the community. She volunteered with the Fullerton Museum Center, Fullerton Arboretum, Fullerton Beautiful, Fullerton Heritage, Pathways of Hope, Friends of the Library, and the League of Women Voters of North Orange County. In 2010 Kathy was recognized during Women's History Month by then Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for her extensive voluntary volunteer work and service to the Fullerton community. Kathy leaves behind a remarkable legacy of service education education literacy and care for generations of children and families in Fullerton. Mr. Speaker and members I respectfully ask that we adjourn today and their memory of Kathleen Kerrigan Dastny and extend our deepest condolences to her family friends and all those who life she touched thank you assemblymember Thank you. Assemblymember Calderon, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Colleagues, I rise today to ask that we adjourn in the memory of George Joseph. Born September 11, 1921, George grew up as the son of Lebanese immigrants in Beckley, West Virginia. George joined the military in the spring of 1941, just months before Pearl Harbor. Assigned to a B-17 crew based in North Africa, his aptitude for math made him the cruise navigator on 50 missions over Tunisia, Sardinia, and Sicily. After the war, he enrolled at Harvard on the GI Bill and graduated in just three years with degrees in both math and physics. In 1949, he turned to actuarial work and joined Occidental Life Insurance in Los Angeles. Using the work ethic he developed during his childhood, George began selling life insurance in the evenings and soon earned more at night than at his day job. He eventually founded Mercury Insurance and under his leadership, grew his company into a multi-state insurer with over 4,300 employees. He remained active in California politics throughout his life, believing that consumer change requires working within the political system I personally saw how he was able to develop friendships and he wasn't shy when he had opinions. He was always giving my husband advice. Some asked for and some not when he was writing the California Earthquake Authority. When asked about his legacy, he put it simply, I hope I'll be remembered for the contribution I've made to the insurance industry and the changes Mercury has pioneered that have led to billions of dollars in savings for consumers. He is survived by his wife Vicki, his children Chris, Tiffany, Jennifer, Alan, and Victor, and grandchildren Corin, Alden, Calliope Autumn, Henry, Tara, Aaron, Vincent, Luca, and Mia. Members, I respectfully ask that we adjourn in the memory of George Joseph. Thank you, Assemblymember. As I remember Quirk Silva, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory. Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I rise today to adjourn in memory of Paloma Foster, a devoted mother, student leader, and passionate advocate who tragically passed away this summer on June 21, 2026 at the age of 35 in a tragic car accident. I first met Paloma when she was selected as my 2022 Minerva Scholarship Honoree, recognizing her perseverance, leadership, and commitment to public service. At the time, Paloma was attending Fullerton College, where she served as the 2022-2023 student trustee. She advocated for her fellow students, led voter registration efforts, and encouraged young people to become educated and civically engaged. Paloma was a true example of student success and the power of perseverance. She navigated the foster care system, re-entered her community after involvement with the criminal justice system, and continued moving forward to pursue her higher education dreams. She later transferred to UC Berkeley, where she became a regent and chancellor scholar, studying political science and public policy. Her goal was to pursue a law degree and a master's degree in public policy, and used her lived experiences to advocate for foster youth, formerly incarcerated individuals, and underserved communities. Above all, Paloma was a loving mother to her sons, Micah and Caro. Her children were at the heart of her dreams and everything she worked to accomplish. Paloma turned adversity into purpose and used her journey to lift others up. Her story reminds us of what is possible when students are given a second chance, access to education, and the opportunity to succeed. Mr. Speaker and members, I respectfully ask that we adjourn today in the memory of Paloma Foster and extend our deepest condolences to her children, family, friends, and all the lives she touched. Thank you, Assemblymember. Members, please bring the names to the desk to be printed in the journal. All requests to adjourn in memory will be deemed read and printed in the journal. . The next item we will take up is item 155 SB 577 by Senator Laird presented by Assemblymember McKinner. The clerk will read. Oh, it's standby. It's standby. Thank you. Again, we are at item number 155, SB 577 by Senator Laird, presented by Assemblymember McKinner. The clerk for— Senate Bill 577 by Senator Laird and others, and I'm not voting the public entities. Assemblymember McKinner, you are recognized. Members, I rise to present SB 577 on behalf of Senator Laird. SB 577 ensures a pathway to justice for legitimate victims of childhood sexual abuse by public entities and will help ensure that public agencies are able to continue offering essential services that all of our constituents rely on. Civil liability claims against public agencies impact each and every one of our districts. Yet, no county in the state has been more impacted than the Los Angeles County, who last year announced a $4 billion settlement for more than 6,800 sexual abuse claims dated back to 1959. As chair of the Los Angeles County Legislative Delegation, we shouldn't have to choose between finding justice for victims and protecting the solvency of our public agencies. Fortunately, with SB 577, we do not have to choose. Because of the thoughtful work of Senator Laird and legislative leaders, SB 577 threads the needle to protect victims, stabilize public entities, and address and prevent fraudulent claims, and provide clear requirements and real accountability on public agencies to prevent future abuse. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember. Assemblymember DeMeyer, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Before I begin, it's wonderful to have our colleague back on the floor doing good work from her recent illness. I rise in opposition, unfortunately, to SB 577 by Senator Laird. This is a difficult topic. You clearly have abuse of these children that extends back decades, but you also have districts that are getting absolutely overwhelmed by financial costs. These are also claims that are very hard to adjudicate decades after they occur. But SB 577 takes an unfair discriminatory unequal approach to dealing with the problem I don believe that it does right by victims but the most abhorrent portion of this bill is that it decides that government gets to be given a preferential treatment, a preferential standard. That government doesn't have to live under the same laws as the rest of us because the reforms in SB 577, if you can call them that, excuse government entities of their liability, offer them the ability to streamline and reduce and reject these claims. Who's not offered the same remedies? Churches, private schools. Many can argue that a child under this bill is less safe from sex abuse in a public school than in a private school because the public institutions, the government institutions, will be given a much lower standard. if we are going to reform lawsuits in this area. And I think there is legitimate guardrails that we should be considering. Carving out government for special treatment to exempt them from rules, it epitomizes what people don't like about government. Rules for thee, but not for me. And so I rise in opposition to SB 577. because of the preferential treatment given to government entities with no reforms for private or religious entities. I urge a no vote. Let's do some more work on this bill. It's an important topic. I know it's not been easy even to get it to this point, but we can't have two different standards. Thank you. Assemblymember Ward, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I want to thank my colleague from San Diego for his comments as well. Certainly I think the foundational comments of what I heard are something that we share in common. This is a very difficult topic. It is a very serious issue for all the reasons that we know that we hold above all else our commitment to make sure that those who are victimized and especially those who are victimized within our public institutions, their last resort of care, the responsibility that we have as a public sector to be able to help our children, to be able to help those who might be incarcerated, to be able to help those who are in the public domain that are the expectations of government to provide the services. That's why this is so tailored here to this bill, and we have to do a better job, because there have been some horrible, disgusting, and just unspeakable accounts of abuses that have happened over the decades as well. And we've made some great and positive reforms to put them at the center of the progress that we must do to be able to demand of ourselves to be able to do better. And we saw that, of course, in the evolution that we had many years ago in Assembly Bill 218 that made sure that among so many other heinous crimes that are out there right now, that a statute of limitations was not a barrier to be able to, when you have realized that you were harmed, be able to come forward and be able to have that justice to the best of your ability to try to make your life whole. And it was a good step in the right direction. And the years that have come since then, we have recognized as well, too, that those good decisions also come with some challenges. And we knew that at the time because it was in our analysis. But it also came with a whole spate of other issues that came to light around whether or not some were taking advantage of these situations and submitting fraudulent claims whether or not we were having the challenges that we have to be able to look within ourselves better with our schools with our county facilities and with other public institutions to demand that they do better And we certainly hailed the work that we passed as a legislature, Senate Bill 848 last year, to really demand that of local educational agencies to be able to do more under the work of then Senator Perez. And we need to extend that to all of our counties as well. And so taking this moment, I want to hail as well the work that Senator Laird did last year in calendar year 2025 on SB 577, which you all know from the record, has been held here on the assembly floor because we knew that we needed to do even more on multiple fronts. We need to use this moment to make sure that we are continuing to look for everything that we can to be able to support survivors and be able to support our public institutions to do a better job like we demand just of our schools, but also of our counties and the other public institutions that are out there. and that is in this bill, and that is front and center in this bill. And we are also making sure that we are taking all of the different lessons learned with all of the stakeholders that have been working well more every year on this issue. All those little attributes, I am not a lawyer. I know we write the laws, but lawyers will look at that and say whether you can or can't do something in the courts. And those have had impacts, not just for the ability for survivors to be able to seek justice, but also for our public entities to be able to have some fairness in what they need to do to be able to try to make sure that they're doing things right as well. And so those little attributes really started with the basis that we saw in SB 577 and have improved upon themselves throughout the course of this year. So I'm grateful for our speaker as well for taking on this issue. We know that there's been a lot of discussion around this, and he has been a leader to make sure that we are finding that balance. But I'd also be remiss, Madam Speaker, if I did not also highlight that this is not going to solve some of the bigger challenges that we have around here and also the challenges that we have around liability and some of these big claims that many of our public entities are facing, Los Angeles County, my county, and so many other school districts, they're not solely born also because of AB 218 impacts. There's a broader issue that we have to talk about, and I know the conversation will continue around how we're going to be able to help flatten that curve. If you've seen the evidence that has come forward over the last week from the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities that has really looked at all of our community's public entities, This problem is unsustainable. Bankruptcies are on the horizon. Seeing, I think, the shuttering of facilities, the possibilities that counties are going to have to choose between hiring more county protection social workers or other things that they want to do or have to pay for these increases in some of their liability payouts. This is why this is such a serious and an attentive situation that we need to be focusing in on to be able to help to flatten that curve. This bill goes a significant way to be able to help to work on the issues that have been worked on over the last few years, but colleagues, we are going to have more work to do in this space, as difficult as it is because we never want to let go of our commitment as a legislature to be able to support the victims who were victimized and make sure that we're going to be doing everything on our power to be able to help them, while at the same time, we have to help our public entities in the fiscal crisis that they are having. So, Madam Speaker, I want to thank everybody who was involved. There was a long list of partner organizations, other colleagues as well, that were bringing this bill forth here today, and certainly Senator Laird for taking the helm and getting this going more than a year ago. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember. Assemblymember Sanchez, you're recognized. Okay Thank you Madam Speaker I want to make sure members that we understand what we are doing with SB77 There was a time when we held public entities to a higher standard We trust teachers and school districts with educating and caring for our children. We trust juvenile detention centers who are incarcerating children to take care of their well-being. This trust has been violated at a scale in LA that has never been seen before. Why would we look to sweep this horrific behavior under the rug and only look to lessen the pain on our public entities who have allowed this heinous act to go on for decades? SB 577 punishes survivors of child sex abuse who seek justice by rolling back their current rights. And in doing so, these child molesters and rapists will never be held accountable. SB 577 blames the victims for the sexual assault they suffered as a child. SB 577 shields child rapists and abusers who use their positions as teachers, officers, and foster parents to abuse the trust children and their parents' place in them. Survivors traumatized by such abuse as children commonly do not come forward to seek justice into adulthood. SB 577 denies the vast majority of these survivors the opportunity to seek justice and healing. Why are we treating public entities any differently than we would treat the Catholic Church, Boy Boy Scouts of America, Epstein, Diddy, Cosby, and Weinstein. These entities are in the public trust, and we should be holding them to a higher standard. This bill does the exact opposite. For these reasons, I urge a no vote. Assemblymember Bennett, you're recognized. Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I rise in support of SB 577. It is a significant improvement over our current situation. and the only thing I would like to ask the authors and the supporters of this bill is to look again at Section 16 and 17 and try to work with the stakeholders involved in that in terms of improvements a year from now because I'm sure there will still be continuing cleanup legislation. I think there are some things there that I have become concerned with. I hope that we can take a look at that. Thank you very much, but I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Assemblymember Marisucci, you're recognized. Thank you very much. I rise to first express my appreciation to all of those who worked so hard to get this bill to where it's at today. But I also rise to express my serious reservations regarding this bill and the work that needs to continue, especially as it involves our public school districts. I first note that our education stakeholders, including our school administrators, our school board association, and our school business officers are all taken position of opposing unless this bill is amended. And let me make it clear that I voted for AB 218. I voted for AB 452. I want to center our priority first and foremost to delivering justice for the victims of childhood sexual abuse. But the point of this effort needs to be to hold those who were responsible for these heinous acts to be held accountable without punishing those who had nothing to do with these heinous acts. And the problem with our school districts in the context of our school districts is that we know that school districts are going to continue to face the fiscal cliffs that they're facing. We know that kids and families that had nothing to do with these heinous acts would continue to be exposed to Proposition 98 dollars being spent on these payouts, these settlements for these childhood sexual abuse cases, without providing the relief and the protection for the kids and the families that had nothing to do with the childhood sexual abuse incidents. And so I just want to make sure that I raise a voice of caution. This cannot be used to say that we address that. It was difficult to get to this point, and we're just going to wait until more and more districts continue to declare bankruptcy, because we know that that is what we are continuing to be facing. Unfortunately, I will not be here to be able to deal with those challenges, but I want to leave all of you with that message that this is not the end of this challenge. We need to continue to make sure that we hold those who are responsible accountable without punishing those who had nothing to do with these incidents. SM Member Krell, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. California still has a long way to go when it comes to justice for survivors of child sexual abuse. But I am voting for this bill today because it includes a really important framework for prevention of sexual abuse, something we didn't have before that we will have because of this bill. And every survivor that I've talked to over the many years has talked to me about the significance of prevention. So I want to thank the author and all those that worked on it to make sure that that is the centerpiece of this bill. I also want to flag something that I'm concerned about in this bill, and that's Section 17. Section 17 includes a change to penal code section 8832.7, which is the Police Officers' Bill of Rights. This bill actually undermines due process rights for officers by allowing personnel records to be opened and allowing confidentiality to be breached in situations where there are not sustained allegations. This is problematic because some of the material in those files, in those currently protected as confidential files, will not only just be allegations that aren't substantiated, they also will be statements by officers without Fifth Amendment protections where officers have been compelled to make statements. This is problematic, and it requires careful review, so I would ask that all of us work together in the fall to make sure that we do what we need to do to rectify that situation. It's Section 17 of this bill, and I think it's something that requires cleanup to make sure that there aren't unintended consequences with that section of the bill. But other than that, I respectfully ask your aye vote. Assemblymember Tangipa, you're recognized. Thank you Madam Speaker I rise in opposition to this bill and I actually share the same concerns as the member from Sacramento in which she stated the undermining of our police officers and the shifting of investigative powers to the Office of Youth and Community Restoration, something that actually had nothing to do with the previous version of this bill. and I think this bill really represents a grander problem that we have, is we are changing monumental pieces of legislation with very little time to deliberate on them. When there are problems that have incurred, unintended consequences of AB 218 from a couple years ago, that now our school districts are going into bankruptcy and receivership. These types of bills need a long time to deliberate about. not random changes at the end of session that we should push through all the way to the end. But the bigger thing that I think people need to realize is that this creates a two-standard policy. If you are the government or a public entity, there are caps. If you were assaulted by the government or public entity, you have a barrier to get your restitution. But if you are a private entity, you can still be gone after. Does that not show that this is truly a rules for the but not for me type of legislation? Why, at the end of session, should we force monumental changes that need very careful, deliberate conversations to fix the problems that we do see and recognize? There were people who were assaulted, child sexual exploitation. We can take care of that, but not by creating a double standard where the government gets protected and the people get screwed. This needs more time. And a piece put into this to investigate police officers that had nothing to do with it five days ago is not enough time. So I respectfully ask for opposition to this bill because we need more time to fix grand problems and take care of the people who deserve to be taken care of. Thank you. Assemblymember Burry, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker, members. I want to rise in strong support of SB 577. I want to thank our colleague from San Diego for all the hard work that he has put in in leading the working group on the Assembly side and Senator Laird on the Senate side. You know, I think the foundational principle is that we need to make sure that we center the victims of child sexual abuse and make sure that they can achieve justice. At the same time, we need to make sure that our public entities who are not responsible for that, when they are not responsible for that, are not subjected to claims that are made up, as we've sort of seen happen in some of the cases in some of these jurisdictions. I support this as well because it has important new provisions that focus on prevention and education and those are strong and I think on balance this achieves meaningful progress in making sure that victims are able to achieve justice and our public entities are protected So with that I strongly urge an aye vote Assemblymember Addis, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to speak in support of SB 577, and I really want to thank the member from Los Angeles County for her fortitude in working for her constituents, and of course the member from San Diego and to all of the folks that have worked on this bill. Frankly, over the course of two years, this is not a last-minute conversation. This is a conversation that has happened over some time and an incredibly important conversation. I also want to correct something that was said today. There are no caps in this bill, and I'll repeat that. There are no caps in this bill. I want to talk a little bit about a survivor-centered approach and what a survivor-centered approach means to me in the context of this bill. There's been a lot of talk on this floor about justice and accountability. But when we're really thinking about survivors, I think we also need to focus on prevention and on healing. And this bill does something new that we haven't seen before, and it's why there's close to 10 or 12 children's organizations that have voiced their support for this bill and have asked this legislature to pass this bill. First, we've got a $15 million budget allocation specific to fighting child sex assault in our institutions in California. This is something new that we haven't done before. And then this bill includes 11 different vital policies that children's organizations have asked for to prevent child sex assault from occurring in our institutions. This includes enhanced monitoring of institutions that house children, including foster care and juvenile justice housing. It includes stronger enforcement. It includes looking for early intervention warning signs. It includes having independent people through state foster care, ombudsperson, as well as OICR and BSCC available to children to make reports if they have been approached or groomed or sexually assaulted. It does provide access to records, and I do believe these records are needed so that we understand what has happened to children in these facilities. It also includes strong public transparency and an investigation into what happened that so many children could have been sexually abused in our institution. This bill includes mandated reporter training that will include grooming and information around child sex assault. It includes a minor assault prevention task force, and it requires institutions to come up with sexual assault prevention plans as well as codes of conduct so that adults understand what is appropriate with children. So these issues obviously are difficult but I will remind this body that there are close to a dozen children organizations that are asking us to stand up for kids They're asking us to put prevention in place so that not a single child more is sexually assaulted in our public institutions. they're asking us to make a difference, not just for children of the past and children of today, but children of the future. And I do believe that SB 577 contains some of those mechanisms. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Seeing no further debate, Assemblymember McKenna, would you like to close? Yes, Madam Speaker. I would like to close with thanking the Speaker for his bold leadership. He'd never stop fighting for this issue to make sure, to ensure that we don't have to choose between finding justice for victims and protecting the solvency of our public agencies. I also want to mention that L.A. County last year announced that they paid out $4 billion to 6,800 sexual abuse victims. This means that the agencies, as far as LA County, they're doing their part. They paid out. They did not do anything. And so I did have one of my colleagues say that the county didn't do anything, but they did. And then also survivor groups. I met with you. I see you. I promise you that I will fight like hell to fix this when I met with the survivor groups and asked them what they wanted, and they said, fix it. Make sure our children are safe. And I promise you, if you know me, I'm a fighter, and I will fight like hell to continue to work on this issue. And with that, I ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember. All debate having ceased, the clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. The clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes 46, noes 19. The measure passes. Madam Majority Leader, you are recognized. I request unanimous consent to suspend Joint Rule 62A, the file notice requirement to allow the Emergency Management Committee to meet tomorrow, August 31st at 9 a.m. in Capitol Room 444 to hear SB 795, Archuleta. Without objection. At the request of the author, please move item 24 AB 2093 Bower-Cahan to the inactive file. Clerk will note. Next, we will go to item 126, SB 1009 by Senator Becker, presented by Assemblymember Harabedian. The clerk will read. Senate Bill 1009 by Senator Becker and others, an act related to juveniles. Assemblymember Harabedian, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. proud to stand up to present SB 1009 by Senator Becker as a co-author of this measure. And it was directly related to the matter that we just heard, colleagues, which is how do we prevent our youth and our children from suffering the abuse that was just talked about? And much of this abuse that was subject to the previous bill Unfortunately, it happened in our detention centers and happened when our youth were incarcerated, many times unnecessarily. And when we're looking to prevent this type of abuse, bills like SB 1009 actually help prevent it. Science demonstrates that young people with existing behavioral problems often deteriorate and prolong detention. This outdated model counterintuitively increases the risk of recidivism far into adulthood. SB 1009 is a common sense reform that strengthens judicial discretion when determining detention placement. It requires a judge to make a factual finding that there aren't any other less restrictive means before our children are put into a cell. And for many of us who have worked in this area, who have visited our juvenile detention centers, we want to ensure that not a single child is placed in these facilities that doesn't need to be. And that is simply what this bill does, colleagues. It allows our judges to consider victim impact, risk, and the use rehabilitative needs so that we're ensuring that public safety, the use, well-being, and our community safety are put at the forefront. This is a common sense measure. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember. Assemblymember Bryan, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker and colleagues. I, too, rise in support of SB 1009. I want to thank my colleague from Los Angeles for floor jockeying this measure. We just had a long conversation about the liability jurisdictions across the state have faced because of sexual abuse cases. But we didn't really talk about it. We didn't talk about what that means. We didn't talk about the largest settlement in California history for these kinds of claims. Happened in my home county, Los Angeles County. And it wasn't just any children. It was the most vulnerable children. The children who had no control over their own bodies and were under the complete and total jurisdiction of L.A. County probation. And for decades, these youth, these children were physically and sexually abused, abused in ways so horrible that even just the beginning of reading those cases forced the county to settle rapidly. That's what's brought us to this point. It's abuse. And we had a long conversation the other day about how do we prevent this? Do we give the Attorney General more oversight over the institutions he already has oversight authority of? Barry J. Juvenile Hall in Los Angeles is already under DOJ receivership. The way you prevent young people from being sexually abused in cells is to have less young people in cages. to give judges the discretion to determine if a least restrictive alternative is suitable. It doesn't negate accountability. It balances protecting our children with holding them accountable and helping them grow. Because the status quo is not only violent and dangerous for young people but fiscally irresponsible And that is why this measure is so critically important and I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Bryan Assemblymember DeMaio you are recognized Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was not intending to speak on this bill. I was just going to vote no. But I rise in opposition to SB 1009. because of the outrageous basis that was just made, the argument that was made, to hijack victims of sexual abuse in favor of this bill. There's nothing, there's no connection here. It is tenuous at best. It is outrageous. We just saw a bill that has a lot of opposition from victims of sexual abuse. Then the next bill comes up, and you use their pain and suffering to support a bad policy. If you're going to support a bad policy, make an argument in support of your policy. That's fine. But don't hijack those families, those victims, pain and suffering, by saying, you know, if we just don't send kids to jail, they won't get abused sexually behind bars. That's exactly what two of the backers of this bill just argued on this floor. Absolutely illegitimate. Offensive. You want to apologize to the families, the victims of sexual assault, for using them as window dressing for this. I don't have a problem with you coming and arguing in support of this policy. People can disagree on this policy. I don't support it. Some do. I understand why some people do support it. I just don't think the diversion programs work. I think we're being too loosey-goosey here. I think sometimes sending someone to jail is the right course of action. What you're trying to do is make it a little harder for the courts to do that. Again, we can disagree on that. But don't you dare hijack the victims of sexual abuse. Just a moment, Mr. DeMaio. Mr. Bryan, state your point of order. The House rules prohibit the impugning the motivations of another member of this body. I ask that the member be reminded of that. Okay. Your point is not well taken. He's not impugning the motives. Excuse me. The ruling of the chair? Peel the ruling of the chair? Ms. Bryan, let me at least finish the ruling first. I was simply going to admonish Mr. DeMaio to be a little bit more careful about the motives of members, but I don't think that he directly spoke to the motives of the members themselves. Do you still wish to appeal the ruling of the chair? That's prerogative. Okay. Thank you Is there a second to the appeal Okay, it's been moved and seconded. There is no seconded by Assemblymember Bonta. It takes a majority of those present and voting. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Mr. Bryan is asking for an aye vote. The speaker is asking for a no vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Assemblymember Bryan is appealing the ruling of the chair that Mr. DeMaio is not out of order. Mr. Bryan is asking for an aye vote to appeal the ruling of the chair. I'm asking for a no vote. Clerk will close the roll. Tally the votes. Ayes 22, nos 30. The motion fails. Mr. Devine, you may continue with your comments. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And again, I am not intending to impugn your motives. That's not my intent. But I think that if we're going to be arguing in support of a policy, argue in support of the policy. We can disagree on that. But this is a very sensitive issue for these victims. And I cannot allow that to happen without raising an objection. I appreciate the support of my colleagues that did support my right to speak on this issue, my free speech rights to represent my point of view and that of my constituents. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. DeMaio. Nobody is impeding anybody to speak on behalf of their constituents. Somebody is making a point of order. We are making sure that the rules have, there's no transgression of the rules. That is all. Assemblymember Tangipa, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to this bill because it truly looks like a get-out-of-jail-free card for a lot of the youth. and I share this position from one of my own lived experience and have growing up in a community filled with gangs and individuals that have lived in a system that they didn't believe that they had a chance to work in. Laws like this have been implemented in areas like Chicago and Illinois where gangs are now targeting youthful individuals because they know that they can get away with it We have seen issues in this state because of laws that have been created that now allow criminal organizations to target children and this one adds to that ability We need to make sure that there are safeguards around. If there are issues when it comes to children that are sexually exploited in prison, in camps, that's not the issue of them getting there. It's the issue of the security within the building. We need to focus on providing actual safeguards for these children. There must be punishments for acts here. And let us remember that the term juvenile in the state of California is under the age of 25. Juvenile in the state of California is under the age of 25. We have elected officials in this body that were elected before they were 25. Think about that. Juvenile. This bill, again, is a get-out-of-jail-free card for minors and juveniles, and we should vote no that empower the gangs to target children. I respectfully ask for your no vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Tangipa. Assemblymember Schultz, you are recognized. Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker and colleagues. I rise in support of SB 1009 and to correct the record with factual information. First of all, let's start with existing law. If a juvenile is arrested in the state of California and charged with a crime, they are to remain in custody until a judge can review the case and determine the immediate course of action. The alleged youth offender is then either supervised in a less restrictive setting or a juvenile hall, depending on their rehabilitative needs. And for the protection of victims, communities, and themselves, the youth who commit more serious offenses are always detained in juvenile hall. And let me be extraordinarily clear, SB 1009 does not change this process. It doesn't. And to categorize it as a get-out-of-jail-free card is just factually inaccurate. There's no basis in fact to make that assertion. Nor does it require, by the way, the judge to release a youth offender. It simply provides judicial discretion to determine how and where the youth should be housed for the most successful outcome. In closing, under this bill, public safety takes precedent. By codifying an existing equitable process for juvenile proceedings, we are prioritizing rehabilitation, restorative justice, and safer communities. I ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Schultz. So again, hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Harbidian, do you wish to close? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to thank my friend from Los Angeles for his words on this bill, and I want to thank my friend from Burbank for clarifying the record list on the facts. With that, respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Harbidian. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Thank you. . Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes, 41. Noes, 20. The measure passes.

Heyes 42, noes 8, Senate amendments are concurred in. File item 54, AB 2253 by Assemblymember Berner. The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2253 by Assemblymember Berner, an act relating to silent waste. Assemblymember Berner, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 2253, my truth in marketing bill, which is back on concurrence. AB 2253 protects consumers from deceptive recycled content claims by requiring companies that advertise recycled content in their products to be honest about the amount of recycled material used. Currently, companies can use accounting methods to claim that their products contain recycled content when oftentimes it's lower than 0.1%. In our affordability crisis, Californians shouldn't be charged more for products that claims to be green that isn't. Furthermore, this practice undercuts the California companies that have invested billions of dollars in real recycling and product manufacturers that pay a premium for more sustainable materials. Senate amendments clarify that this is for voluntary recycled content claims, explicitly state that this bill does not apply to compliance with EPR programs like SB 54, delays implementation to 2030, allows for independent auditors to verify documents that prove compliance, and allows for the use of proportional accounting. I have worked with the opposition and several organizations are now neutral and even support the measure. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Berner. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Thank you.

The talking points say good morning, Mr. Speaker, but it is in fact good evening Right now algorithms are being used to make firing and disciplinary decisions but human beings should be making these decisions SB 947 Since a common sense standard it requires human review when an automated system is primarily relied on in a discipline or termination decision California workers deserve dignity, a real person, using judgment and compassion, making a final call about their job and their livelihood.

Assemblymember Pellerin, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. AB 282 returns to us today after being substantially amended in the Senate. The bill before you is now focused on a simple but critical principle. Ballots, election records, and certified voting technology must remain secure until election results are certified. Just this year, in California and Georgia, we've seen individuals seize or attempt to seize election materials in efforts to undermine certified election results. AB 282 makes clear that this kind of interference with our elections causes serious consequences. It makes it a felony to seize, cause, or assist in the seizure of ballots, election records, or certified voting technology before certification, punishable by up to three years in prison. It also prohibits a person in authority from directing someone under their supervision to do so, punishable by up to four years. These Senate amendments give California another important safeguard against interference with our elections and help ensure that every lawfully cast vote is counted and the will of the voters, regardless of political party, is respected. I respectfully ask for your aye vote on concurrence in Senate amendments. Thank you, Assemblymember Pellerin. 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 the roll, tally the votes highest. Excuse me. Excuse me. Strike that, Mr. Clerk. Roll is still open. Thank you. Thank you. No no no by Assemblymember Agriar Curry and others in relating to business regulations Madam Majority Leader you are recognized Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Colleagues, please forgive me as I go over the many changes I have made to the Compete Act since I saw you last. The bill before you today takes a balanced approach to closing a loophole in the Cartwright Act. In the Senate, I honored all the commitments that I made on this floor. I removed the laundry list. I worked with Chair Umberg and Senators to make sure that this bill affirmatively states that there are lawful, merit-based monopolies, so this bill does not punish good, successful businesses that simply make the best product. I removed the restraint of trade to reduce confusion. I removed a provision about considering effects in the relevant market because I felt that cases like flagship were strong enough to address this issue without language in the bill. I added guardrails to protect companies' existing state action immunity under Cartwright and to make sure that cases require evidence of substantial market power. Finally, Senate Appropriations Amendments limited the bill to public-only enforcement. These changes and the unique enforcement mechanisms of this bill are limited only to Section 16.731. Even with these changes, AB 776 gives California's Attorney General and the District Attorneys the tools to crack down on dominant companies that abuse its power to shed out competition and harm small business competitors, consumers, and workers. This bill is about ensuring a healthy marketplace that protects all participants, including workers and consumers. Protecting competition will help create an environment that preserves our democratic, political, and social institutions at a time when growing inequality tears us apart. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Madam Majority Leader. Assembly Member Poppin, you are recognized. Just very briefly, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Times have changed, and so must our laws. And I had serious reservations about this bill, especially that it might have unintended consequences as it relates to certain industries. I represent a lot of biotech, and I was very concerned about that. So I would like to thank the member from Winters for all of the work that she put into this bill. and she heard a myriad of concerns and worked so hard and collaboratively to make it happen. I'm honored tonight to join you in an aye vote. Thank you for your work. Thank you, Assemblymember Papin. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Madam Majority Leader, do you wish to close? I want to thank everybody that's on this floor that have been helping me through this whole policy. It's been tough. But this bill has always been about protecting businesses that are doing the right thing. And I'm worried about my small businesses and I know many of you have done the thing. If you make the best product or have the best business acumen, we want you to grow and succeed in California. However, if you use your power to hurt small businesses, jack up consumer prices, or leave workers with nowhere to go that should be illegal in California just like it is across the country. Members thank you very much for all your time and the work that you've all been so supportive and you all know who you are You've come to my doorstep, I've been to your doorstep, and you listened. And I want to thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Madam Majority Leader. 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 the roll and tally the votes. Ayes 55, nos 15. Senate amendments are concurred. In. Members, we're now taking up file item 91. File item 91. That's SB 1369 by Senator Reyes, presented by Assemblymember Valencia. The clerk will read. Senate Bill 1369 by Senator Reyes, an act relating to elections. Assemblymember Valencia, you are recognized. Good evening, Mr. Speaker and members. I rise to present SB 1369 on behalf of Senator Reyes. This bill would require an oral disclosure when signature gatherers are being paid and shorteners the gathering period for judicial recalls from 160 days to 120 days in electoral jurisdictions within 50,000 registered voters or more. This bill does not eliminate the right to recall a judge. It ensures the process is not misused to punish judges for carrying out their constitutional duties. With that, I respectfully ask for a yes vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Valencia. Assemblymember DeMaio, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to SB 1369. the right of the recall is a sacred right. It is so important. It is one of the last provisions that citizens have to hold politicians accountable. As of right now, it is already very difficult to recall a judge, a local elected official, and most importantly, a state elected official. The number of signatures is staggering. The amount of time is limited. and all the rules and regulations that recalls are subjected to are all designed not to serve the public interest or transparency. They're designed to protect politicians. Every change that has been made in the last decade hasn't made it easier to recall politicians. It has made it substantially harder. There are also constitutional challenges with SB 1369. The Supreme Court has routinely ruled in opposition to, quote, compelled speech. Now you may say well we simply requiring that the petition gatherers speak with their own mouth their own voice certain disclosures That what the bill requires Those disclosures are already printed on the petition itself by the campaign that is funding paid gatherers I think that you're going to have a problem, and rightfully so, with the compelled speech nature of this bill. But again, there's a pattern of bad behavior sometimes in Sacramento where they pass bills knowingly having constitutional problems. And the design is, well, in the meantime, we get to bully or intimidate people into not doing things or infringe upon their rights to get what we want. They want to defend their rights. They have to hire a lawyer. They've got to go to court. It takes time. It takes a lot of money. Ultimately, when they prevail, we pay for both the government attorneys and their attorneys as well. But in the meantime, we lose our rights. In the last 112 years that we've had the right of recall in the state of California, since Hiram Johnson's progressive reforms of the Citizens Initiative and the recall, there have only been five successful recalls of a state officer. During that period of time. I helped lead the last successful recall against Josh Newman. And in the middle of that recall, this body passed rule changes to basically drag out the process. Protecting a state politician who was the subject of recall. you are standing before voters telling them that the one safeguard they have to hold a politician accountable during the middle of their term or a judge who makes a bad ruling that we're just going to continue to whittle away at those powers that those rights will continue to watered down. I urge you to vote no on SB 1369. Let's hold politicians accountable and one way to do that is to preserve the right of recall by citizens. Thank you. Thank you Assemblymember DeMaio. Seeing and hearing no further debate. Assemblymember Valencia, do we wish to close? Thank you Mr. Speaker. I appreciate you expressing your opinion. With that I respectfully ask for a yes vote. Yes vote. Thank you Assemblymember Valencia. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Presented by Assemblymember Pellerin, the clerk will read. Senate Bill 903 by Senator Padilla and others, an act relating to healing arts. Assemblymember Pellerin you are recognized health support However research shows that AI therapy bots are ineffective and can actually be harmful to the user when compared to human therapists SB903 will prohibit AI companies from advertising or providing therapy when those services are not delivered by a human licensed professional. It would also ensure that clinicians only use AI in ways that promote safe, informed, and person-centered care. SB 903 draws a clear line. AI can be a tool in the hands of a licensed professional, but it cannot be the mental health professional itself. On behalf of Senator Padilla, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Pellerin. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

File item 104, that's SB 907 by Senator Archuleta, presented by Assemblymember Petrie Norris. Clerk will read. Senate Bill 907 by Senator Archuleta and others, an act related to driving offenses. Assemblymember Petrie-Norris, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, I am proud to rise to present SB 907 on behalf of Senator Archuleta. This bill strengthens California's DUI enforcement and sentencing laws for repeat offenders. SB 907 includes two provisions that will protect California families from drunk drivers, improve road safety, hold repeat serial offenders accountable, and prevent future tragedy from occurring. The first provision, Bronze Law, will mandate Watson advisements in situations where a DUI is pled down to any other charge, including a hit and run. With a Watson warning, an individual is advised that if they drive drunk again and kill someone, they will then face second-degree murder charges. In addition to bronze law, SB 907 goes after repeat serial offenders with increased penalties for hit-and-run drivers if the driver has a recent prior DUI conviction, closing an important loophole in current California law. Members, stopping repeat drunk drivers is certainly not a partisan issue. It is a family issue, and I want to just say thank you to our colleague, Senator Archuleta, for his tremendous leadership on this issue, and on his behalf, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 907. Thank you, Assemblymember Petrie-Norra. Assemblymember Lackey, you were recognized. Everybody knows my experience with this particular problem. And I will just tell you, first of all, it addresses one of the very, very hurtful components that is practiced on a routine basis almost to some degree every day. And that is the aspect of hit and run. And how our system has encouraged the behavior of once you've been involved in a very serious crash and you know that you're impaired, that you leave the scene. Very, very cowardice. But I will tell you, very, very common. And this particular bill will address it in a very meaningful way, and I'm very thankful for the leadership demonstrated here and I hope that you will support this measure because it is very worthy of that Thank you, Assemblymember Lackey. Assemblymember Gibson, you are recognized. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, members. This will probably be my last time. Well, this will be my last time. And I want to say thank you to the member from Orange County and also to the senator for bringing this bill forward. to talk about penalties. Hit and run, as you know, is very personal to me. And many of you on this floor know the narrative and the reason why I ran for the state assembly. Because it was my three-year-old son who was killed. Because it was our three-year-old son who was killed. by hit-and-run motorists. And every chance I get to try to elevate this issue and underscore the importance of this issue is near and dear to me, to my family. I just cannot articulate enough to this body and to people listening and watching how devastating it is that we still have people in this world, in California, who will hit someone and stop, pause, and even go to the scene and see what they've done and get in the car and run away. And it's to that end that we must do everything we can to stop this behavior from taking place. And so as my colleague who spent his career as a higher patrol have already indicated, he has seen so many hit and run incidents in his entire career. And certainly I live it each and every day and wonder what and how my son would be if, in fact, he was still living here today. And as I conclude, one, I respectfully ask when I vote, but two, please don't give up on trying to educate but also legislate in this space. For the families like my family and others in California, we can do better. We must do better. And thank you very much. And I respectfully ask when I vote. Thank you. Assemblymember Gibson. Assemblymember Castillo, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in strong support of this bill, and I thank Senator Archuleta for bringing this forward. I feel families should be feeling safe on the road when they're out there, and I do feel that repeat offenders should be held accountable and should be put behind bars for the things that they do when they're on the road when they shouldn't be. There's too many ways people can avoid being on the road when they've been under the influence, especially nowadays. There's Lyft, Uber, there's so many options. So for someone to get on the road when they've been under the influence is not acceptable. Thank you. Thank you, Assemblymember Castillo. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Petrie Norris, do you wish to close? Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sure. I first want to say thank you to the members from Palmdale and Corona for your words of support and thank you to the member from Los Angeles for sharing your story and for really bringing home for all of us why this measure is so very important. As many of you know, Senator Archuleta lost his granddaughter on Christmas Eve of 2024, killed because of a repeat drunk driver. And so this bill and this work is incredibly personal for the senator and incredibly important for the state of California. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you Assemblymember Petrie Norris. All debate having ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

That's SB 1246 by Senator Cortese, presented by Assemblymember Rogers. Clerk will read. Senate Bill 1246 by Senator Cortese and Appalachian to vehicles. Assembly Member Rogers, you are recognized. Thanks so much, Mr. Speaker. Last month, the National Transportation Safety Board published a letter to the autonomous vehicle industry saying they had identified a clear pattern of driverless AVs interfering with law enforcement and other first responders. As AVs continue to provide rideshare services, this bill would ensure that emergency staff personnel respond when these autonomous vehicles become disabled and obstruct traffic or interfere with emergency operations, thereby delaying first responders and putting the public at risk. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you Assemblymember Rogers. I'll debate having ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

That's SB 1360 by Senator Cervantes, presented by Assemblymember Fong. Clerk will read. Senate Bill 1360 by Senator Cervantes and others, an act relating to elections. Assemblymember Fong, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. Today I rise to present SB 1360 on behalf of Senator Cervantes and as a proud co-author of this bill. This bill is part of the California Voting Rights Act of 2026. Senate Bill 1360 strengthens language access for limited English proficient voters by increasing the availability of translated election materials. A pillar of California's strength is our vibrant diversity of our population. The Golden State has the highest percentage of households, 43.3%, that are proficient in a language other than English. In my home county of Los Angeles, election materials are currently translated into Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Khmer, thanks to the Voting Rights Act, Federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. Currently, the scope of Section 203 is limited. It only covers Spanish, Asian languages, and Native languages. There is no language assistance required beyond federal law for LEP voters who speak languages beyond that list. SB 1360 would ensure that Californians continue to enjoy the language access assistance provided by Section 03 by codifying those provisions from federal law to state law. The bill would also expand on Section 203 by expanding the potential languages covered by state law. SB 1360 would bring us closer to fulfilling the dream of inclusive democracy here in California that makes voting accessible even if a voter is not proficient in English. I strictly ask for an aye vote on SB 1360 on behalf of senators who brought this. I also request an immediate transmittal to the Senate. Thank you. Thank you, Assemblymember Fong. I'll debate. Having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. We will close the roll, tally the votes, ayes 58, noes 0. Measure passes. Thank you File item 109, please. File item 109. SB 1087 by Senator Cabaldon, presented by Assemblymember Solache. The clerk will read. Senate Bill 1087 by Senator Cabaldon, an act relating to transportation. Assemblymember Solache, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present SB 1087 on behalf of Senator Cabaldon. This legislation makes practical reform to the state's Landmark Sustainable Communities Strategy Law, SB 375, to help our communities achieve our housing, climate, and transportation goals. SB 1087 fixes a regional planning process that has become too slow, costly, and disconnected from what our communities need. SCAG's most recent sustainable community strategy took four years to complete and cost more than $20 million, on top of $40 million invested in a regional transportation plan. SB 1087 shifts a sustainable community strategy from a four-year cycle to an eight-year cycle, which reduces cost and complexity. This frees up time and money for regional agencies to accelerate housing production and deliver transportation projects. Creating a streamlined implementation report allows regions to focus on outcomes rather than paperwork. This bill is a result of hundreds of hours of stakeholder engagement and negotiation, including with the California Building Industry Association, its regional affiliates, labor transportation agencies, local governments, and environmental advocates. SB 1087 promotes transparency and ensures that our state regional planning system actually works in California. It aligns climate, transportation, and housing policy goals and, importantly, frees up resources to build the homes our communities need. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

I rise to present SB 1399 on behalf of Senator Durazo, a Latino caucus priority bill. Current law establishes a framework by which the California DOJ reviews immigration detention facilities and reports on conditions of confinement, the standard of care, and how conditions impact the due process rights of detained individuals. Since 2019, the DOJ has issued five reports and conditions have worsened each year, including six deaths of detained individuals between September 2025 and March 2026. Given that this important DOJ review framework is set to sunset on July 1, 2027, SB 1399 removes the sunset provision. As a state we have a responsibility to understand what is happening inside these facilities and shed light on the treatment of detained individuals Thank you and I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Assemblymember Calderon All debate having ceased clerk will open the roll All members vote who desire to vote All members vote who desire to vote.

It is the culmination of two years of collaboration between the mobile home residents, the AG's office, HCD, to address the concerns identified by the state auditor to create more effective program for mobile home residents. I've worked with the AG's office and HCD. The AG's office is in support as the Senate amendments transition the program to a self-funded grant program and extend its sunset date. Ultimately, this bill is meant to preserve mobile homes as a vital source of affordable housing. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

The bill allows the county of Marin to transfer ownership and management of Mount Tam Cemetery located in San Rafael to either a California nonprofit organization or a licensed cemetery authority. AB 929 also provides temporary liability protections for decades of neglect created by the prior owner, since a new operator will have to fix longstanding maintenance and operational issues.

AB 1537 is a common sense measure that prevents double badging between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authority. Some jobs in public service require different levels of accountability because of their authority and trust. For example, you can't serve in the state assembly and in Congress at the same time. You can't work for the LAPD and the L.A. sheriff at the same time. This bill makes it clear that you can't work local law enforcement protecting and serving during the day and work for ICE, moonlighting and terrorizing at night. It received a two-thirds majority in the Senate earlier today with no Democrats voting no, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember Bryan.

I tried better, but we got fifth, for DUI conviction with injury to six years, a six-year revocation if they agree to an interlock device. Even though these recent amendments significantly weaken the bill that I proposed, it's a step in the right direction. These amendments previously taken in the Senate Public Safety Committee have also officially named the bill Irene's Law after mad advocate Rhonda Campbell's sister who was killed at the age of 12 after being struck by a repeat offender back in 1981.

Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Colleagues, AB 2319 is back from the Senate. Amendments in the Senate require that applications are evaluated and awarded tax credits are based on the projects that have the highest post-production services ratio. That means the highest percentage of dollars spent on wages per tax credit allocated rather than on a first-come, first-served basis. Amendments also delete a requirement for minimum spend for visual effects, modify the applicable period to start when the credit is allocated, and incorporate feedback and technical assistance from the California Film Commission and the Franchise Tax Board. Colleagues, I will be brief, but in closing, I just wanted to offer a brief reflection and thank you. There are many who thought that this was too ambitious a bill to run this year. And I want to thank my wife, Allie, for encouraging me to run the bill and never doubt myself. I want to thank my co-authors, including the member from Santa Clarita, for standing with us. I want to thank our whole Capitol team for working so hard to make this happen, especially Jim Metropolis, my legislative director. And lastly, we are on the precipice of doing something incredible to keep post-production alive and keep these jobs in the state of California. That success would not be possible without the members of the California Post Alliance who are here tonight, MPEG, and the countless others who came up to Sacramento to tell their stories. This bill has always been about keeping people loving what they do working. So on their behalf, I implore you to vote aye on AB 2319 tonight. Thank you. Thank you, Assemblymember Schultz. Assemblymember Gabriel, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to extend my thanks to our colleague from Burbank for his incredible tenacity. This is such an important issue in Southern California, such an important issue for our region. A very, very big and ambitious bill for a new member to take on, but he has navigated it with incredible depth, deafness, and integrity and perseverance. And I'm just so proud to be supporting this bill. So on behalf of all of us in Southern California, thank you very much, Assemblymember, for your work. Respectfully request an aye vote on AB 2319. Thank you, Assemblymember Gabriel. Assemblymember's board, you are recognized. Yes, I also rise in strong support of AB 2319. I want to thank my colleague from Burbank for his tenacity and his leadership on this issue. And this is about preserving and growing the jobs in our creative economy. And it doesn't just benefit Los Angeles. I know that this is something that a lot of these jobs are in Northern California and other parts of the state. So I just want to thank him for his leadership and strongly urge an aye vote. Thank you Assembly Members Boer Assembly Member Chavo you are recognized Thank you Mr Speaker and Members A lot of people don realize that my district actually includes a lot of the film industry in it up in Santa Clarita or we call it Hollywood North sometimes I'm incredibly grateful to the author for this, happy to be a co-author. And, you know, I have talked to people in my community who are driving Ubers because they have been out of work. This is an industry that has really, really struggled for too many years now, and people are suffering. People are losing homes. People are having to make life decisions about moving out of state because too much work is leaving the state of California. So any and all things that we can do to ensure that this historic industry is supported and kept in California, where we have so much talent and so much opportunity to do good work. This is such an important piece of that, and I'm really grateful for your leadership and partnership and strongly urge an aye vote on AB 2319. Thank you, Assemblymember Schiavo.

Thank you, Assemblymember. Assemblymember Tangipo, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. First and foremost, I do want to thank the author and one of the co-authors as well for actually absorbing the language from Assembly Bill 1560 that holds a standard here in the state of California. And that is exactly what this bill does. It makes a hard declaration that if you commit corruption and if you are convicted of corruption, you are barred from lobbying the government. And so while I understand that the language from AB 1560 has been accepted into this one, I see that 30 other states have also accepted that language and have made it model policy for the nation. So to that, I do know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, that mediocrity can pay to greatness, and for that I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Item 234, AB 2721 by Assemblymember Carrillo. The clerk will read. Assembly Bill 2721 by Assemblymember Carrillo and others, an act relating to business. Assemblymember Carrillo, you're recognized. of a reservation with United States Customs and Border Protection or CVP or United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE to post a notice prominently inaccessible in a location where it can be seen by all workers. Senate amendments address many other position concerns. AB 2721 has a sunset clause, has a clear timeline for when the notice must be posted, requires actual knowledge for a notice to be posted and significant limits when a guest is able to request information on ICE or CBP presence. Hotels are not designed to or regulated to function as detention or federal operation facilities. When CBP or ICE reserved space within a hotel for operations or to hold individuals in regard, hospitality workers and guests may have limited information about federal activity occurring on the premises. There is currently no statewide requirement that hotels disclose this reservation to hospitality workers. The absence of notice can create uncertainty for employees and potentially place workers in difficult or unsafe circumstances without adequate information about activities occurring in the workplace. Hospitality workers should have basic notice when federal immigration agencies are conducting activities in the very workplaces where they are expected to perform their jobs. This is a limited and balanced approach. It does not prohibit federal activity, does not require hotels or to investigate federal agencies, and does not expand liability for tell simply because they comply with the law for this reason respectfully I your I vote on assembly bill 2721 thank you something member signal for the debate the clerk will open the roll all those vote who desire to vote all those All those vote who desire to vote.

Assembly Bill 2017 by Assemblymember Haney and others in the act relating to state holidays. Assemblymember Haney, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker and members. I rise to present AB 2017, which is the California Eid State Holiday Act, which is back on concurrence. We are a country that was founded on religious freedom. And here in California, there are over a million Muslim Californians, many of whom are students, many of whom are state or school workers. And on the most holy days for Muslims, they face an impossible choice. Either they miss a critical time to celebrate and observe with their community and their family. or they are punished in many cases for doing so. Right now, the same protections that many other religious communities have that we've extended here in this body are not extended to Muslim Californians. And as a state that is both one that protects religious diversity and religious freedom, but also one that needs to ensure our laws reflect the inclusion that I know that we stand for as a state, This is a hugely important thing that we can do. It's also a way for us to send a message to Muslim Californians that they belong, they matter, they're included, and to stand against a lot of the hatred and Islamophobia that we unfortunately still see today. So this is a bill that I know we've voted on already. It received strong, broad, bipartisan support here in the Assembly and, again, in the Senate. and colleagues, this is a very strong stance that we can take together in support of Muslim Californians and in support of a state that values diversity and inclusion for all of our residents. And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember. Assemblymember Culler, you're recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise in support of AB 2017 and thank our colleague from San Francisco for his leadership on this and research. and years, but we've seen this body and this state approve holidays for Lunar New Year and Diwali. I think this follows in that tradition of recognizing that our diversity in this state is beautiful. All the faiths that are celebrated, and in this case, our Muslim American community, who so joyously celebrate Eid, having that recognized by the state is an incredible moment of recognition of the importance of the community for our state. And as our colleague from San Francisco indicated, more specifically the ability to be able to actually enjoy the holiday, like so many others in our community, get to enjoy a variety of holidays that we all celebrate together. And so this is a celebratory moment for all of us here in California. And I look forward to being able to celebrate with our Muslim American brothers and sisters once this becomes official. Respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you. Assemblymember Gabriel, you're recognized. Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I join as a proud co-author of this bill. I want to thank our colleague from San Francisco for bringing it forward. When I saw this bill, it really resonated with me as a member, as a religious minority, as someone of a faith community and a family that has often had to make this impossible choice between trying to observe our holidays and trying to be present in civic life and in educational spaces. And so I think there's a really important practical impact to this bill. I also think it's very important in its symbolism, because I've always believed here in California that our diversity is our strength, and this says to our Muslim community here in the state that you are valued, that you are loved, that you are appreciated, that you're an important part of the fabric of the state of California. And so I believe that this bill is consistent with the best traditions of what has made California is such a diverse and wonderful place to raise our families. And with that, respectfully request your aye vote on AB 2017. Thank you, Assemblymember. Seeing no further debate, Assemblymember Haney, would you like to close? Yes, thank you. Thank you to my colleagues for those words. And thank you, colleagues, for standing in support of all of our residents, making sure their religious faith are not only valued but celebrated and included. This is a very strong message that we can take right now. And I also want to thank my co-author of this, Senator Wahab, who is currently the only Muslim member of the legislature. And it is, I think, again, critically important that we take this stance and extend this protection to Muslim Californians. And I respectfully ask for your aye vote. All debate having ceased, the clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. The clerk will close the roll and tally the vote. Ayes 56, noes 3.

So this is a very important bill. Senate amendments were technical and expanded the bill to include all mussel and species that are invasive. This is a Delta caucus priority bill, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you. Thank you, Assemblymember. All debate having ceased, the clerk will open the roll.

You don't know who he is. Look him up. There's a story there. It's quite crazy. But I'm very, very thankful that he opened the door and he allowed me 12 years of engagement.

And I'm telling you, I'm a very proud member of law enforcement, have been even through the difficult times. and I will tell you that there's no one that despises police misconduct more than the people that are in the profession. This is proof. It's time that we've become very serious about police misconduct and I'm very thankful for this experience and for all your support. So thank you and please, this is worthy.

Senate Bill 877 by Senator Perez and others, an act relating to insurance. Assemblymember Harabidean, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam Speaker. Proud to present SB 877 by Senator Perez, the Fair Claims, Practices, and Transparency Act. This bill ensures transparency in insurance claims by requiring insurers to disclose claim materials, including loss estimates and subsequent revisions to policyholders upon request. California regulations already require insurers to maintain documents used to estimate a loss, but current law does not require insurers to disclose all of those documents to policy holders. As a result, homeowners may receive only a revised estimate without access to the original calculations or an explanation for the changes. Fire survivors have reported reductions exceeding $100,000 without clear disclosure of the original estimate, the amount reduced, or the reason for the change. SB 877 gives policyholders access to preliminary and final loss estimates and any revisions, helping ensure families receive the resources they need to recover and rebuild. I will also note that opposition has gone neutral on this measure, and I'm happy to be a principal co-author. Respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, Assemblymember.
