Senator Alvarez.

Good morning And thank you, Madam Speaker. AB 956 is back on concurrence because the California Department of Justice has asked us to take a set of technical amendments in the Senate. AB 956 codifies an existing practice in the State Auditor's Office that they've always had. It requires a California State Auditor to collect fingerprints from prospective employees and contractors and complete the background check with the Department of Justice when those prospective employees have access to confidential information. Without this, the State Auditor's Office will no longer have access to the FBI's criminal justice information System. And I ask you for your aye vote. Thank you.

Please be respectful, as we have an adjournment in memory. Please give your respectful attention to those who were granted prior permission to speak on an adjournment in memory. Assemblymember Haney.

Thank you, Madam Speaker and Members, I ask that we adjourn in the memory of Bob Boylo, a longtime labor leader and constituent of mine from the Petrell Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. A veteran of the Vietnam War, Bob served our country on the USS Valley Forge, and after returning from overseas and receiving an honorable discharge, he began a career in the labor movement, where he spent decades fighting for working families and equity in the workplace.

Bob started his career in the labor movement as an organizer for Ask Me Local 1684 in Humboldt County. Following this, he went on to work for the California School Employees Association, where he proved himself as a brilliant negotiator who was able to bring parties together to find common ground.

After making a name for himself within the labor movement, Bob was then hired as a business agent, working with Operating Engineers Local Three, where his hard work and dedication of working families led him to being promoted to Local Three's Research Director. In 1990, Bob was elected to the San Francisco Labor Council's Executive Committee, and in 1996, he was elected as Vice President of the San Francisco Labor Council.

Bob, additionally, was an original Executive board Member of the California Industry Force Account Council, which was founded with his guidance by Operating Engineers Local Three. While Bob's passion for the labor movement was unmatched, so too was his love for his family, especially his love for his wife, Elizabeth and his sons Patrick and Donovan.

Bob was passionate about paleontology, a passion he shares with his sons, where he spent many days bringing his boys on fossil hunts throughout Northern California, resulting in his sons filling their houses full of fish, fossils and the whole gamut of rock layers throughout the west. Beyond his passion for his family and the labor movement, Bob had a passion for serving his community.

He served San Francisco in countless ways, including his many years as a Member and vice President of the Petrell Hill Democratic Club Service on the board of St. Gregory's Food Pantry, the San Francisco Boy Scouts as Pac, leader of Pac 88, and his great love of baseball and the San Francisco Giants. He also coached youth baseball throughout the city, coaching, mentoring, and umpiring for teams at every level of play. Bob will be missed greatly in San Francisco community and the labor community. And I'd like to send my deepest condolences to the Boylo family and at this time would request that we adjourn in the memory of Bob Boylo.

Thank you. Assembly Member Haney Members, please bring the names to the desk to be printed in the Journal. All requests to adjourn in memory will be deemed red and printed in the journal. Announcements the session schedule is as follows Friday, July 7. No check in session. No floor session. Monday, July 10. Floor session at 01:00 P.m.. All other items remained will be passed and retained. All motions will be continued. Seeing and hearing no further business I am ready to entertain a motion to adjourn.

Mr. Bryant moves and Mr. Essayli seconds that the house stands adjourned until Monday, July 10, at 01:00 P.m.. The quorum call is lifted and the house is adjourned. Thank you.
