Senator Blakespeare, you are recognized.

Thank you, Madam President. I respectfully rise in opposition to SB 1135. Rural California has a wolf problem. Wolves are threatening the safety of families, children, pets, and livestock. While the state envisioned a healthy wolf population as preying on the deer population, wolves are very smart and have decided that it's easier to just take a baby calf that's dropped on the ground from being born, rip it apart, and feed off of it, instead of chasing a deer up a hill and across the terrain. As a result, ranchers are upside down in the state, and they've experienced significant pressure on their cattle herds. We also have mountain lions, which this bill does not address, but they're eating, even the wolves are eating pets. A mountain lion killed a child in the North State while they were walking on a path. We have a serious population with apex predators. While the goal of reducing human-wildlife conflicts is important, The assembly amendment significantly broadened the bill in expanding CDFW's regulatory authority and creating additional administrative reporting requirements. Did they measure the body of the little calf to see if the bite mark was like the wolf? And they have to do all this testing, call in experts to make sure that it's actually a wolf kill, even when you have it on video that it's a wolf kill. However, these expanded responsibilities with CDFW come without dedicated funding. There's no funding for this program. We can't expect our rural communities to pick up the bill for every regulatory requirement when they're already struggling to deal with economic consequences and wolf restorations or reintroductions into the wild. For these reasons, I respectfully ask for a no vote. And I would just mention that I don't believe that the author has wolves, mountain lions, and apex predators in our district that are dealing with the same situations that we're dealing with in the rural areas. And I think we need to take the rural areas seriously with this situation. and respectfully ask for a no vote. Thank you.

Well, thank you. I think it important to recognize that we did not reintroduce wolves into the state of California They traveled over the border from Oregon into California And we have apex predators including bears wolves mountain lions coyotes a whole range of different animals that need to coexist with humans. So this is a coexistence program. And the point is to manage and promote human wildlife coexistence. So we are sharing the state of California. And the point of this program, which was discontinued, is to restart it, There are no costs that are going to be borne by local communities. It's to restart the program so that it's formed, and in the future it could be funded by the state. Its focus is on proactive, nonlethal measures, and it has been very effective with bears. We have similarly emphasized nonlethal conflict mitigation strategies, and there's been an 84% decrease in the number of black bears that have to be killed because of their interaction with humans. So this is tried and true. California is not the only western state that has apex predators. We are looking at what are best practices across western states, and this human-wildlife coexistence program is something that we should have in the state of California, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 96 by Assemblymember Jackson, and I'm going to need to medical.

Good morning, Ms. President and members. I'm here to present AB 96, which would remove the high school diploma or equivalent requirement to become a certified Medi-Cal peer support specialist. Peer support services are a recognized evidence-based practice by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Peer support specialists are individuals who have identified as having lived experience with the process of recovery from mental illness, substance use disorder, or both, either as consumers of these services or as family members of the consumers. They are evaluated on their ability to connect with consumers, facilitate recovery, and provide support, rather than on their academic achievements. Skills like communication empathy relatability cultural competence self and conflict resolution are crucial not a high school diploma In fact requiring a high school diploma or equivalent creates artificial barriers to entry and limits access for individuals with the potential to excel in peer support roles. The peer support services are integrated across various medical and treatment settings, including peer-led organizations, respite centers, outpatient services, inpatient care, and mobile crisis teams in all 58 California counties. While California has a significant behavioral health workforce, California Mental Health Services Act has certified 9,437 Medi-Cal peer support specialists. They have achieved an overall pass rate of 89%. This workforce is critical to serving the Behavioral Health Services Act target populations, including those experiencing chronic homelessness and multiple behavioral health conditions, those who are justice involved and those at risk of institutionalization. By removing the high school diploma or equivalent requirement for certification, AB 96 would eliminate barriers to becoming certified peer specialists, creating a tremendous opportunity to increase the peer workforce. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise in support of AB 96 as well. I think this body tremendously puts too much emphasis on a college degree or a professional degree. And the reason why I say that is because I'm a juvenile delinquent, and I barely made it through high school, and I went to a continuation school, and I'm one of 40 in the state of California. I have one of the most incredible nonprofits ran by a guy named Manny Carrizales. He has spent most of his life in prison, and he rescues kids, pre-prison intervention. and just like United States military veteran, if you're a combat veteran, you'd rather talk to a veteran to give you counseling, not somebody who's got a Ph.D. and a degree that's never seen combat. So I think peer-to-peer counseling means in the same situation that you are seeking help for. If you look at formerly incarcerated people, I think Mr. Silva would be a perfect person to be able to reach those incarcerated people, not us. We wouldn't know how to do that, but he's been there, done that. And so I appreciate Assemblymember Jackson for bringing this bill forward and respectfully ask for an aye vote.

I just want to thank the good senator from Bakersfield and would respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 1338 by Assemblymember Solace, an act relating to the Department of Transportation.

Thank you, Madam President, ladies and gentlemen of the Senate. Today I rise to present a bill AB 1338 on behalf of Assemblymember Solace, which would resolve a unique local and land utilization challenge with the city of Linwood. This bill would allow the city to transfer a public purpose covenant from one city-owned property to an adjacent city-owned parcel more suitable to fulfill the public purpose. AB 1338 addresses a unique set of challenges and offers a targeted solution to allow the city of Linwood to bring affordable housing to a historically undisturbed community. Again, this is a district-specific bill that received bipartisan support in a committee and overwhelmingly support in the floor. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2783 by the Assembly Committee on Judiciary, in accordance to court reporters, and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Thank you, Madam President. Members, I rise to present SB 2783 on behalf of the Assembly Committee on Judiciary. AB 2783 extends the sunset date for the remote court reporting pilot program to July 8, 2028. Established in 2023, the pilot is authorized in 13 superior courts statewide. Five courts are participating and seeing positive results, including improved reporter efficiency, greater transcript access, and working conditions. The extension will allow courts to build on these successes, expand participation, and collect additional data. The bill has received bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1608 by Senate Member Wilson, an act for nature transportation.

I thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 1608 on behalf of Assemblymember Wilson. This bill gives the High-Speed Rail Inspector General additional tools to provide strong oversight and ensure the success of this critical project. These tools include appropriate staff to conduct reviews of the project and contract the authority to acquire oversight tools. We need to make sure that every limited dollar that the project has access to goes as far as possible. The increased independence and tools AB 1608 gives to the Inspector General will help ensure this happens. This project is critical for the future of California, and we need to do everything we can to get it delivered as quickly and cost-effectively as possible. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 306 by Assemblymember Schultz, an according to building standards.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 306 by Assemblymember Schultz. AB 306 authorizes the California Building Standards Commission to hear and decide qualifying appeals involving local administration of state building standards. California's 540 jurisdictions independently interpret and amend state building standards, leading to inconsistency and inefficiency. The current appeal process provides no practical path for an affected person to independently seek state review of a local code interpretation. The current process also leads to the following negative outcomes. Design solutions deemed acceptable in one jurisdiction may not be accepted in surrounding jurisdictions. Manufacturers, design professionals, and others pursuing innovative alternative means and methods determinations lack a path to independent state review. AB 306 establishes a workable process for resolving building code issues that have statewide significance while preserving local authority over matters that are appropriately addressed at the local level. AB 306 has received bipartisan support in the Senate and no, no votes. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2378 by Assemblymember Gabriel, an act relating to criminal justice.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 2378 by Assemblymember Gabriel.

CalVIP funds evidence-based community-led programs focused on reducing shootings and homicides in communities disproportionately impacted by gun violence.

Assembly Bill 2505 by Assemblymember Carrillo, an act relating to energy.

Thank you, Madam President. Today I rise to present Senate Bill 2505 on behalf of Assemblymember Carrillo. The problem this bill addresses is that hydrogen refueling stations currently can't access a dedicated utility meter or direct service line in the same way that other infrastructures can. AB 2505 fixes this by letting utilities extend a service line from the nearest point on the grid and install a dedicated meter for hydrogen stations. This bill has no opposition, no no votes, and received bipartisan support. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2247 by Senate Member El-Hurari, an act relating to victims of crime.

Thank you. Good morning, Madam President and colleagues. I am proud to present AB 2247 on behalf of Assemblymember Alawari, a bill that would establish the trauma, healing and resilience investment for victimized and exposed youth act or thrive act in L.A. County. This bill would fund fast and responsive mental health services for people 25 and under impacted by gun violence, including victims and witnesses. Existing systems that are supposed to provide mental health services to survivors are riddled with red tape and can be a financial burden. AB 2247 aims to simplify the process, providing survivors with a list of mental health care providers or peer support specialists in the county and establishing a mechanism to ensure survivors are not required to pay for these services out of pocket or wait to be reimbursed. When children and youth get the support they need to heal, they set up a brighter future for us all. On behalf of Assemblymember Elowari, I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2374 by Assemblymember Fong, in equating to post-secondary education.

Thank you, Madam President. Senators, I rise to present AB 2374 on behalf of Assemblymember Fong. AB 2374 establishes a state-level designation for Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander serving institutions. Minority-serving institutions were established by the federal government to address educational inequity. The federal government has provided millions of dollars to these institutions, many of which are in California, to address student retention and graduation rates of underserved students. AB 2374 will recognize public and private higher education institutions that show effort and commitment in helping NAPESI and all students succeed. AB 2374 is a companion to my bill AB 1255 which establishes a state Hispanic institution designation and follows SB 1348 Bradford establishing Black Institution designation I respectfully ask for your aye vote on behalf of Assemblymember Fong.

Thank you, Madam President. As the incoming vice chair of the California-Asian Pacific Islander Caucus, rise in support of the bill and urge an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1128 by Assemblymember Murasushi and Akronate Housing.

Members, this bill would establish a limit on annual mobile home space rent in the city of Torrance. It seeks to protect mobile home residents from excessive rent increases, and in so doing, seeks to help preserve one of California's remaining sources of affordable home ownership in the community of Torrance. Since 2022, residents at Skyline Mobile Home Park in Torrance have experienced rent increases totaling approximately 46% over a relatively short period. Mobile home residents are excluded from the statewide rent camp, and unlike most residential renters, and this is about creating a predictable limit on annual increases for this particular community, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1457 by Assemblymember Bryan and Laquanee Tilanews.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 1457 on behalf of Assemblymember Bryan. This bill promotes community engagement in the development of environmental justice elements and sets a compliance deadline for existing requirements. Ten years ago, California made a promise through SB 1000 by Senator Leyva, which required local jurisdictions with disadvantaged communities to include environmental justice in their general plans when they update two or more elements. Today, a decade later, that promise has not been fully delivered. In 2023, UC Irvine found that only 33 jurisdictions out of over 250 had an environmental justice element. Too many communities have been left without the protections they were promised. AB 1457 closes a compliance gap. It sets a clear deadline for jurisdictions that have not yet adopted an environmental justice element. It strengthens transparency so communities can see what is being proposed. It includes meaningful public engagement so residents can participate in shaping their own neighborhoods. Every Californian should have the opportunity to live in a community that is healthy and safe. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2241 by Assemblymember Berner, in accordance with school playgrounds.

Thank you, Madam President, distinguished members and colleagues. I rise to present AB 2241 on behalf of Assemblymember Berner. This is based on a fifth grader's idea to make sure that from La Costa Elementary School in Carlsbad to make sure that all kids have access to playground equipment. For children with disabilities, physical activity through play is important to their growth, development, and providing physical and mental stimulation. AB 2041 would make sure that all public school playgrounds are accessible and inclusive for every single child. On behalf of Assemblymember Berner, I respectfully ask for an aye vote on this support-support bill. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. Members, this is a vital bill for kids across the state of California. For those reasons, I ask for your aye vote on 2241. Thank you.

Again, we'll ask for your aye votes. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1842 by Assemblymember Herber-Bedian, an act relating to emergency relief.

Thank you, Madam President. This bill is not about firefighters. However, I am honored to rise and present AB 1842, the California Mortgage Relief Act on behalf of Assemblymember Harbedian, who has displayed incredible resilience. AB 1842, a critical bill that establishes a clear statewide framework to help homeowners whose homes become uninhabitable following a major disaster access mortgage forbearance and avoid foreclosure while they recover and rebuild. This bill provides a streamlined process for obtaining temporary mortgage relief for up to one year while ensuring borrows remain protected from unnecessary penalties and harmful servicing practices. After hard work and extensive negotiations with stakeholders and opposition coalition, opposition has moved to neutral. Due to that work, this bill received unanimous bipartisan support coming out of the Judiciary Committee. I want to make sure that I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Secretary please read. Assembly Bill 1603 by Senate member Schultz an act according to pesticides.

Thank you, Madam President. And members, I rise to present AB 1603 by Assemblymember Schultz. Schultz. PFAS are a large class of chemicals that are used in many consumer products and industries because they are long-lasting and waterproof. However, they are associated with numerous serious human health effects and buildup in water, soil, and our bodies. Because of PFAS's problematic properties, the legislature has acted in years to prohibit their use in many consumer products such as textiles, food packaging, cosmetics, menstrual, and children's products. However, over 50 pesticides containing millions of pounds of PFAS are still regularly used on California crops each year without the knowledge of many growers and consumers. And AB-1603 requires a Department of Pesticide Regulation to identify and list PFAS pesticides in a public database, track their use, and share that information with the county ag commissioners. This bill will inform growers, the public, and local governments about the pesticides registered in California that contain PFAS and provide greater transparency about the use in the state. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Secretary, please read. Assembly Bill 2460 by Senate Member Celeste Rodriguez, in accordance with Pupil Health.

Thank you, Madam President. Today I rise to present AB 2460 on behalf of Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. AB 2460 will ensure schools are prepared to support students when immigration enforcement causes fear, trauma, or instability at home. This bill does not create a new mental health program. It simply updates California's existing school behavioral health referral protocols to include guidance for supporting students during a local emergency related to immigration enforcement or deportation. AB 2460 helps schools respond with care, clarity, and consistency by making sure students and families can be connected to appropriate behavioral health supports. Recent amendments instruct local education agencies to review current policies and ensure consistency with new guidelines, reducing costs for complying local education agencies. I respectfully ask your aye vote on AB 2460. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 1666 by Assemblymember Rogers, an act relating to forestry.

Thank you, Madam President and distinguished senators. I rise today to print AB 1666 on behalf of Assemblymember Rogers. This thoughtful bill was recently narrowed to remove opposition and has received bipartisan support in both houses, colleagues even Barbie would support it. AB 1666 establishes one or more biomass innovative parks and accelerates a sustainable wood waste bioeconomy in California. California's biomass surplus has been dangerously neglected to date exacerbating the ongoing risk of catastrophic wildfire, undermines state climate and air quality goals and invites pest innovations. AB 1666 seeks to address this challenge and support an equitable and sustainable economy, leading to economic development and high road jobs in rural and tribal areas. Senator, at the end of the day, AB 1666's additional benefits include improved air quality innovation reduced wildfire risk and reduced greenhouse gas emissions I respectfully ask for an aye vote Thank you Seeing no further discussion or debate Senators this item is eligible for unanimous roll call Seeing no objection ayes 40 nos 0 the measure passes

Senate Bill 1721 by Senate Member Murasuchi, an act relating to people's safety.

Thank you, Madam President, ladies and gentlemen of the Senate. On behalf of Assemblyman Murasuchi, I rise to present Assembly Bill 1721, which will ensure that school safety plans remain practical, effective, and focused on protecting students and staff. Current law requires every school to maintain a comprehensive school safety plan. Over time, the legislature has added many new requirements, including 14 bills since 2013. While these changes address important issues, they've also made safety plans overly complex and compliance-driven. AB 1721 directs the Education Commissioner to consult with the State Board of Education and stakeholders, including educators, parents, students, first responders, and mental health professionals, to review and recommend ways to streamline and improve school safety plans. AB 1721 is supported by teachers, administrators, and law enforcement and has received bipartisan support. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Secretary, please read. It was inaccurate. A Senate Bill 2409 by Senator Valencia, an act relating to digital assets.

Thank you Madam President. On this support, support measure. Distinguished Senators, I'm rising today to present SB 2409 on behalf of Assemblymember Valencia. AB 2409 prohibits California public officials from issuing meme coins and bars digital asset exchanges from listing any meme coin that uses the likeness or image of a living public official. When a public official's meme coin is listed on an exchange, it becomes accessible to a global market, monetizing their public position for profit. Public office is not a business opportunity, and we must modernize our anti-corruption safeguards as digital assets to become increasingly accepted in our communities. I appreciate your time and respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Assigning bill 2765 by Assemblymember Arons, an act relating to nutrition assistance and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Dr. Luther King would be very proud of this bill. As a result of recent amendments adopted on this bill, the bill now directs the California Department of Social Services to pursue exemptions to the time and work requirements for foster youth with medical and behavioral diagnosis identified in their case plans.

A Senate Bill 2392 by Senate Member Fong, an act relating to public post-secondary education.

Thank you. Madam President and ladies and gentlemen of the Senate, on behalf of Assemblymember Fong, I rise to present Assembly Bill 2392. Last August, the Assembly Committee on Higher Education and Privacy and Consumer Affairs held a hearing to review the California State University's AI-empowered initiative. A key finding from the joint oversight hearing was that with AI tools, including CHAT GPT, EDU, were deployed without accompanying training being provided. AB 2392 seeks to remedy this gap by convening a working group among our public higher education segments to develop responsible generative AI procurement standards and provide training to students, faculty, and staff. The bill helps ensure that California's public higher education systems are thoughtful and transparent as they adopt generative AI tools and that these tools come with adequate safeguards and user preparation. The bill has no opposition. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 353 by Assemblymember Berner, an accoling to the Public Utilities Commission.

Thank you, Madam President. This bill is about good governance and transparency at the CPUC. I think it's something we can all get behind. It would recast the existing Office of Internal Audit Services and create the Inspector General position to oversee the office. offices responsible for audits of key financial management operational functions within the Commission and although the CBC does have an existing internal audit office which was established in 2017 those reports are never made public or certainly not regularly made public the office of inspector general is modeled after independent inspector generals they said other state agencies like Department of Transportation and Department of Corrections Rehabilitation. The CBC has a massive impact on our constituents' lives. We should ensure the legislature and the CBC are well informed of the Commission's strengths and deficiencies and ensure the office can recommend ways to ensure that there are no inefficiencies, waste or areas of improvement. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you. Seeing no

A Senate Bill 1693 by Assemblymember Sabur, an act relating to retailers.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 1693 by Assemblymember Zabir, which will support the state's diverse brick-and-mortar retail sector. Small businesses and retail establishments face unpredictable local permitting processes, so AB 1693 aims to address this by requiring local building departments to allow a licensed architect or engineer to review tenant improvements, ensure that those improvements meet all applicable building health and safety codes. It also requires local building department to approve or deny a tenant improvement permit application within 20 business days of receiving a complete application. This bill has received strong bipartisan support. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2050 by Assemblymember Colosa, in accordance to Common Interest Developments.

Thank you, Madam President. Assembly Bill 2050 requires homeowner associations, or HOAs, to reserve funding for maintenance, repair, and replacement. Current law requires HOAs to conduct studies about costs and reserves, but does not require an HOA to actually have reserve funding. Mortgage financers like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require an HOA to have a minimum of 10% in reserves and will increase that level to 15% starting in 2027. Without the 10%, many lenders will not write mortgages for the condos in these associations. This bill reduces disputes, improves compliance by providing the appropriate funding formula to ensure the reserves. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Senate Bill 1946 by Senate Member Wicks, an act relating to social media platforms.

Thank you, and good afternoon, Madam President. I rise today to present AB 1946 on behalf of Assemblymember Wicks. Child sexual abuse material known as CSAM is pervasive on the Internet, not only on the dark web, but also on social media websites and applications. and to combat this growing problem, Assemblymember Wicks' AB 1394, which passed in 2023, established a statutory framework, but it needed additional gaps filled, and to aim those gaps, we needed to address those by making the reporting mechanisms workable for the user and strengthening the enforcement so that there is accountability and compliance. I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise briefly on the support support to be able to say that these children who are being exposed on the Internet with this sexual abuse is imperative that we make sure that these perpetrators that are doing this are held accountable. I have never supported a private right of action, but in this situation, I support this private right of action to go after the perpetrators who don't take down this explicit sexual material of children. Thank you.

I concur and agree with my colleague from Bakersfield, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Assembly Bill 2146 by Assemblymember Stephanie in equity to housing.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present AB 2146 on behalf of Assemblymember Stephanie. This bill starts with a simple but frustrating reality that we see every day in California. Even when housing is available, people experiencing homelessness can still be stuck waiting. Not because there's nowhere for them to go, although we do need more shelter and housing. is because the system requires paperwork they often can't produce. Right now, we ask people who are homeless to prove that they are homeless. We ask for rental histories, verification letters, references, documents that many people do not have or have no safe place to keep. And while they track down those papers, they wait on our streets. This bill allows individuals to self-certify that they are homeless instead of forcing them to chase down paperwork that delays their path to housing. At its core, this bill is about removing unnecessary red tape so people can get housed faster. No one should have to jump through so many hoops to prove that they're homeless. No home should be left empty while red tape gets in the way. Thank you and I respectfully ask for an idea Thank you Seeing no further discussion or debate secretary please call the roll Allen Aye Alvarado Gil Aye Archuleta

Senator Reyes, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. I rise on behalf of Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez to present AB 2195. The Work to Support Families Act builds on previous efforts to modernize California's child support law. This bill ends the practice of occupational license suspensions for a parent owing child support if the parent's annual household income is at or below 70% of an area's median income. This bill has been supported by local child support agencies and has no opposition I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Seeing no further discussion or debate Secretary please call the roll

Secretary, please call the absent members.

We will now go to file item 307, AB 2206. Secretary, please read.

Senator Reyes, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. In the last decade, the California community colleges and the CSU have expanded the type of degree programs they offer to students. Both were authorized to offer degree programs outside of their codified admissions in the Education Code with the understanding there would be no duplication. AB 2206 expands upon this understanding by providing clarity that four-year higher education institutions are authorized to offer teacher preparation programs. Furthermore, the measure provides parity between the California community colleges and the four-year post-secondary education institutions by recognizing that a community college baccalaureate degree meets the minimum education requirements for a teacher credential when a baccalaureate degree is required. I respectfully ask for your aye vote on behalf of Assemblymember Fong.

Senator Reyes. Thank you, Mr. President, for this opportunity to present AB 1766 on behalf of Assemblymember Krell. AB 1766 requires the Instructional Quality Commission to consider expanding human trafficking prevention education across all grade levels. Existing law requires students to receive human trafficking education as part of sex ed, but students in grades 7 to 12 only receive that training at least once in middle school, junior high, or in high school, which is simply not enough. This bill is supported by CTA, CFT, California Survivors Coalition, and many others. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assembly Bill 2471 by the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management, an act relating to emergency services.

Senator Stern, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. This bill will hopefully take advantage of federal clean energy tax credits that are worth billions of dollars of savings to California ratepayers but are on the verge of expiring due to delays in transmission system upgrades. The PUC's own data shows that nearly two-thirds of these transmission upgrades are delayed, with some languishing for over a decade. This bill will be critical to ensuring that those savings are achieved and speeding up the process of these grid updates needed to connect to these new clean energy projects With that I respectfully ask for your aye vote Thank you Seeing no further discussion or debate Secretary please call the roll

Senator Perez you are recognized Thank you Madam President and members AB 2555 will reform our state system for reclassifying English learners as fully English proficient Our current reclassification system was established nearly 50 years ago. Over the years, evidence has mounted that the current system is inconsistent, redundant, subjective, and inefficient. Research has shown that many English learners who are proficient in English can wait years to be reclassified, limiting their educational opportunity. There are also significant gaps in reclassification rates by home language, with Spanish-speaking students significantly less likely to reclassify than other students, even when they are just as proficient as their peers. AB 2555 will establish a coherent, consistent, efficient, and transparent reclassification system. It will strengthen parent involvement, establish monitoring guidelines for reclassified students, and support the goal of biliteracy. AB 2555 will establish a reclassification system our English learners and their parents deserve. I would respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you. Okay we going to start back at file item 174 AB 1547 Secretary please read Assembly Bill 1547 by Assemblymember Baines

Senator Hurtado, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. Members, I rise today to present AB 1547 by Assemblymember Dr. Jasmine Baines. I think this is a fitting bill for Dr. Baines. Long before she was an assembly member, she was a doctor. She went above and beyond for her patients because she knew the families, she knew the hardships, and she knew what happens when people cannot get the care that they need. She also knew how much our doctors managed. She is the first doctor to represent the assembly district, and I believe this bill will be part of her legacy. In the Valley, we have watched hospitals close. In Corcoran, Toleri, Kingsburg, Sanger, Madera, and others, we have watched maternity services disappear. We have watched specialists become harder to find. And I know what it feels like when someone you love has to drive hours for treatment. When you are dealing with cancer, the last thing a family should have to worry about is how far away the doctor is. But there are thousands of families in the Valley living some version of that story. Whether it's a mother trying to find a specialist for her child, a senior waiting months for an appointment, a cancer patient making that long drive again and again, and I understand that frustration in a way I wish I didn't. For years, leaders in the Central Valley have been working very hard to change this. We have already started laying the foundation for a UC medical school in Kern County, including establishing an endowment fund to help make it possible. And AB 1547 takes that next step. It asks the University of California to determine what it will take to establish a medical school in Kern County. This will not fix everything tomorrow, but it gives us something we desperately need, a chance to grow our own doctors. Think about what that could mean for the Central Valley and the Southern Central Valley. A child growing up in Kern County could decide she wants to become a doctor. She could go to medical school close to home. She could train in the Valley, and one day she could care for the same families and the same community that raised her. Maybe another daughter won't have to watch her father drive hours for cancer treatment. Maybe another mother won't have to leave the valley to find care for her child. And those of us who represent Kern County are a little different. We fight hard for home. And Dr. Baines has done that as a doctor. She has done that as a legislator. And with this bill, she is helping carry forward work that many of us have fought for over the years. and one day I hope we will all look back on this bill and all the work that came before it and say this is when we stopped accepting less this is when we decided our children could become doctors here this is when we decided our parents should be able to get care here and this is when we started giving the valley the health care it has always deserved colleagues I appreciate the time and I respectfully ask for an aye vote on this support support measure.

Secretary, please read. Assembly Bill 2619 by Assemblymember Papin, in accordion to water.

Thank you, Madam President. members rise to present on behalf of Assemblymember Pappa and this bill requires data centers to provide their water use data to localities as part of existing business life licensing procedures as we all know as data centers expand operations across Californians communities where there are over half a dozen much like my district excuse me where there are over half a dozen hyperscale project applications are asking a basic question how much water are these facilities using? This is a simple bill with one goal, assuring that local governments and water suppliers have the data they need about the actual and continuing water consumption of these large facilities. This is not a new permitting bureaucracy or separate reporting system. It uses a process already in existence, a local business licensing process. Under this bill, when applying to a city or jurisdiction for initial business license, data center will report its projected water use upon renewal it will report its actual water

Thank you, Madam President. I'm pleased to present AB 2270 on behalf of Assemblymember Arambula. This bill will require the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee to consider amending the low-income housing tax credit scoring system to treat farmworker housing similar to large family housing projects and consider using the same point allocation as rules set-aside projects when assigning points to farmworker housing based on proximity of amenities to an eligible farmworker housing project. The goal of this bill is to make sure that farmworker housing projects are scored and are considered as competitively as other urban multifamily housing projects to make sure we can prioritize the construction of needed housing for farmworkers.

Assembly Bill 1856 by Assemblymember Wicks, an act related to consumer protection.

Thank you, Madam President. I rise to present on behalf of Assemblymember Wicks. California's children are growing up with access to an online world that was not built with them in mind. And we cannot and should not keep kids off the Internet. we must craft policies to protect them while they are online. Last year Assemblymember Wicks AB 1043 took a step in that direction by establishing California Digital Age Assurance Act The act was intended to balance privacy and usability while helping to protect children online This bill will help further those goals by clarifying the age assurance framework, specifically clarifying the age signal bracket data pertains to the primary user of the device, specifies that the bill only applies to operating systems that have an account setup feature, provides guidance on what internal information can be used as clear and convincing evidence, prohibits covered entities from prompting a user to provide different age information, and clarifies that across all platforms and points of access, to mean the inclusion of websites into the Digital Age Assurance Act. This bill has received broad bipartisan support and respectfully asked for an aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. And then briefly, I just strongly support the AB 1856. We really, you know, I have 11 grandchildren, and we need to make sure that our kids are safe in this state. And it's not just evil on the streets anymore. Evil is coming into our living rooms through the devices that our parents and some of the kids have access to. And we need to make sure there's an age verification process for those kids that are on those platforms because that's where the perpetrators are coming now. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The measure passes. We will now move to file item 233, AB 2635. Secretary, please read. Assembly Bill 2635 by Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez, an act relating to air pollution. Senator DeRazzo, you are recognized. Thank you Madam President This bill Assembly Bill 2635 by Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez is the Just Transition for Landscapers Act This measure requires large and medium air districts to implement voucher programs that help cover the cost of electric lawn equipment subject to appropriation by the legislature. It also establishes privacy protections for immigrant workers, and it sets a reasonable enforcement structure. By requiring accessible lawn equipment voucher programs, the bill removes barriers for low-wage landscapers who operate on the thin margins to transition to zero-emission landscaping equipment. This bill makes clear that landscapers are not asking to opt out of California's air quality goals. They are asking for a fair chance to meet them. We have bipartisan support, and this is a legislative Latino caucus priority. I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you, Senator Sayarto. You are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. I rise in concern over this bill. The best way to help our landscapers, if we are truly concerned about our landscapers out there, especially the ones that are working informally, let's call it that, is to extend this mandate so that they do not have to go in and try to replace this equipment. If you will talk to some out there, many of them will tell you they have no idea that they have to do this. They have no idea that last January 1st they were supposed to start transitioning their equipment. And their equipment is when they're using, when they're trying to go from gas-powered mowers, blowers, chainsaws, clippers, all of those things, and you're putting them on a battery, each one of those batteries takes overnight to charge. And when they have 15 lawns a day that they may be doing, those batteries, especially in the lawn mowers, last about a lawn and a half. So they have to buy a bank of batteries. Each of those batteries costs about $100. So they won't be able to go in and get this voucher program for all of those batteries every three weeks because those batteries don't last very long. I know this from personal experience. I'm constantly replacing the batteries that I bought for my electric equipment. So putting this burden on our landscape people out there, this is not going to help them. And when they're getting vouchers from AQMD and these other public agencies, well, those vouchers have to come with the 1099. And that 1099 means they have to have an ITIN number for taxes. So now you have a way of tracing who has ITIN numbers through this program. If you want to help those folks that are working so hard out there just trying to put some food on the table, then the best thing to do is delay this mandate so that they are not under pressure to get rid of perfectly good equipment and then try to adjust their workloads to try to manage the use of this new equipment. It is not as easy as going in, getting new stuff, and going about your job. We have a whole different dynamic out there. We need to take that under consideration. Sometimes when we think we're helping them, we're actually hurting them more than anything. Thank you. Thank you. Senator Valladares, you are recognized. Thank you, Madam President. I rise in support of AB 2630. five and in the committee hearing if you could have been there to have seen this amazing small business owner who was just asking for help. For me this bill though brings is about a bigger problem and that is that the policy coming out of this building are climate goals. The lack of a real transition plan is putting small business and working class last and so unfortunately whether it's the California Air Resource Board, whether it's the AQMD, they're implementing the policies that we're directing to them, yet there's no consideration at the local level of how one it's actually going to be carried out and two whether or not there's a timeline that is realistic for hard working Californians. We have a broader perspective that we need to really work on real policy. I'm going to support this because it's needed and it's at no fault of the small businesses, no fault of their own, that the state and local regulatory agencies are trying to drive them out of business, but then also give them a grant. It's mixed messages, but this is a necessity. Urge an aye vote. Thank you. Seeing no further discussion or debate, Senator DeRazzo, would you like to close? Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate the comments of my colleagues. I think they come from the heart and they come from the experience of what it takes to make changes, and these workers are going through that change. I agree that this may not be the perfect solution, but it's what's needed this very minute. So I thank you all very much for your comments and support and I urge an aye vote. Thank you.

Oftentimes when you sign up for a health plan, you don't know what you're doing is signing up for dispute resolution by arbitration versus the traditional court proceedings. Arbitration is very different than court proceedings Rules of evidence don necessarily apply And even substantive law often doesn apply And what this bill does is simply says that the Attorney General has the authority to oversee the arbitration process to make sure that people are adequately noticed, people adequately informed about their rights and remedies, and I urge an aye vote.

When parents sign their children up for activities, they are not expecting photos or videos of their child to be used for marketing or promotional purposes without their knowledge.

SB 1753 closes gaps in California's protective order system by helping courts identify firearms that must be surrendered and establishing clear procedures for law enforcement and prosecutors when someone fails to comply. The bill also expands remote hearing access, improves victim notification, and ensures tribal and out-of-state protective orders are consistently recognized and enforced in California. California has strong protective order laws, but those protections only work when they are consistently implemented.

Assembly Bill 1857 by Senate Member Aguiar-Kurvey, an act relating to land use.

Thank you, Madam President. and members. I rise on behalf of Assemblymember Aguri Curry to present AB 1857, which will help communities restore grocery access in their communities. Approximately 4.1 million Californians live in a food desert. When a grocery store closes, restrictive covenants can prevent another grocery store from opening in that same location. AB 1857 gives communities a process to remove these restrictions. This bill will help communities to improve access to healthy food and to support better public health outcomes. With that, I respectfully ask an aye vote on 1857. Thank you.

Senate Bill 1371 by Senator Durazo, an act relating to local government.

Thank you, Madam President. SB 1371 establishes a clear and balanced policy by ensuring local franchise contracts, licenses, and permits for solid waste handling services entered into or substantially modified on or after January 1, 2027 may not include provisions that excuse or suspend performance due to a work stoppage arising out of or in connection with the labor dispute. Assembly amendments apply the provisions of the bill prospectively and address opposition concerns about retroactive application. That way it ensures continuity of essential services while protecting the integrity of lawful collective bargaining. I respectfully ask for your concurrence with assembly amendments. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Madam President, colleagues. Senate Bill 868 is back from the Assembly on Concurrence. This bill, the Plug-and-Play Solar Act, streamlines approvals and establishes safety standards for so-called plug-in solar or balcony solar that allows for renters, homeowners to plug in a very low-cost device and immediately start lowering their electric bills. Assembly amendments narrowed the devices that can be sold in California, put a sunset for evaluation of the program's success, and strengthened safety standards. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate Bill 908 by Senator Weiner, an act relating to windows. Senator Weiner, you are

Colleagues, I rise to present SB 908, which is back from concurrence. This bill cuts red tape for residential window replacements, making it easier for homeowners to weatherize their homes quickly and cost-effectively and not be bogged down with requirements that effectively prohibit people from installing weatherized, energy-efficient windows. This will help people lower their costs of electric. Assembly amendments allow HOAs limited ability for larger projects to have aesthetic restrictions as long as they do not increase cost or decrease energy efficiency. Amendments also clarify liability and maintenance obligations for window replacement projects in HOA common areas. We structurally ask for an aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President. Proud to present SB 909, which is back on concurrence. SB 909 strengthens enforcement of California's Public Works labor laws. The amendments adopted in the Assembly incorporate technical assistance and clarify that the penalties taken into consideration are only those in the Labor Commissioner's possession. Amendments additionally update the amount of penalties going towards the state public works enforcement fund from 50% to 100% to support sufficient staffing required for enforcement. And importantly, this bill will not impact labor compliance programs or the penalties assessed by Caltrans labor compliance program. This bill is about protecting workers and ensuring fair competition, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.
