Assembly Member Wallis, you are recognized for your guests introductions.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, all of my good qualities come directly from the two people joining me today at my desk. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for allowing me to introduce my parents, Dr. Ken and Tracy Wallis. My father, Dr. Ken Wallis, retired from his dental practice in 2022. Some of you may have met my dad when he was President of the California Dental Association in 2015 and 2016. And at least one of you hung out with my dad at a few Raiders games. My mother, Tracy, is the best mom a boy could hope for.

She drove me to all of my Little League games and practice. She was a great cheerleader. Truth be told, they're in Sacramento to support me at tonight's legislative softball game. Go SoCal. My sister, brothers, and I definitely won the parent jackpot. I know that they're proud of all of us kids, but I'm much more proud to have them with me today. And it is my honor to present my parents and my constituents, Ken and Tracy Wallis, to the California State Assembly.

And just a personal note, Dr. Ken Wallis and I were classmates in dental school. We sat next to each other for four years. And while we shared a lot of things, politics and our political persuasions is not one of them. But he's a good friend. I consider him a good friend.

And it's great to see you and Tracy here today. Thank you. Moving to... Members, please ask you give your attention to Assembly Member Schiavo in the rear of the chamber as she recognizes the retirement of a longtime staff person. Assembly Member Schiavo, you are recognized at Assembly Member Wicks desk for your presentation.

Thank you so much, Mr. Speaker. It is with a heavy heart that I rise today to wish our Chief of Staff the best, who is retiring in the fall. And many people know Hugh Bower. He's been around for 26 years. And while he's been here a long time, my history with him has been just this last term since I've gotten elected. And for many of you who know, it was kind of a late decision in my race.

And so when I found out Saturday that I won, I woke up 7:00 AM, Sunday morning, and I started texting and calling people because I desperately needed good staff. And Hugh, his name came up so many times. And when I started vetting him around with folks and talking with folks, he, you know, everyone had good words to say about Hugh.

And so when I was able to meet with Hugh, we had a long conversation, and I realized that he was interviewing me as much as I was interviewing him, because he's been around for a while and he knows how things work. And one of the questions he asked me is, so how do you handle stress?

And I realized he was trying to figure out if I'm a yeller or not. And I appreciated that he was digging down because he wanted to work in the kind of environment where he would be happy and healthy too. And that's exactly what he has fostered for staff over these years.

Hugh, you know, when I was talking about hiring staff, I was going over, what are the important things to me? And he's like, I want to add on fun. And he wanted to make sure that not only did we do the hard work, did we do good work, but we also made sure it was a fun place to work, a place people enjoyed being. And he has every day, fostered that environment. So Hugh started as an attorney. He got into public service right away.

He was the chief consultant for many years for the Housing Committee. And many people know him as the chief for former Speaker Pro Tem Kevin Mullin, who is now Congressman Mullin, who is here today, along with many of his staff and former staff who used to work here too. You know, we've heard lots of, we were able to hear lots of good stories about Hugh. Some of them including throwing a football in the hallway or playing bocce ball in the hallway on the end of session to break the tension.

But I think, you know, some of the things that I wanted to make sure that there were memories and words from others who have worked so long with him. And I felt like this really summed it up perfectly when staff were talking about what it's like to work with Hugh. That his relaxed demeanor, his sage advice, his humorous stories, and support to develop staff has made him above and beyond enjoyable to work with and the office, a wonderful place to be.

It's made it fun and inspiring to come to work every day, and he will be missed. But his legacy remains in the innumerable staff, even just within this chamber, there's at least 11, I think, who have directly benefited from his wisdom and experience on process and policy, as well as his integrity and character.

And, you know, another staff talked about how he's so smart and he's really able to see through and cut through the noise and see the heart of the issue and that he's really the kind of chief that other staff aspire to be. And so we're gonna miss him a lot. A lot of us are gonna miss him.

I know he's joined here today by his wife and daughter and mother in law, friends, lifetime friends and friends from the Capitol, and of course, Congress Member Mullin, to honor his amazing work here in the building. Not only his work in every office that he's worked in, and he is just always constantly landing very difficult bills, but also the work that he's done to support staff throughout the building. And so we are going to miss you very much. We are deeply grateful for all of your work.

And I want to please wish... Oh, I have to say something else. You may also know him from Remedy7, his band. How could I forget that? And so we are very excited. He also organizes the legislative ski trip. So someone's going to have to take up that job in his absence.

But I imagine he might still show up there. I don't believe that he is going to be one of the people whose walking around the halls of the building a lot after he retires. He is going to be skiing 40 days a year if he can do it, and playing in his band and loving every minute of retirement. And I am so, so excited for him. So please help me in thanking Hugh Bower for his amazing work.

Thank you, Assembly Member Schiavo. Congratulations on your retirement, Hugh. Just a shout out to former Speaker Pro Tem Mullin back there, Member of Congress. I used to sit down on the floor and wonder how he did the job up here so well. And I still wonder how he did the job up here so well. So it's great to see you, Congressman. Also joining us on the floor today, former Assembly Member Cristina Garcia. And also former Assembly Member Dante Acosta is joining us on the floor today.

Thank you again, Assembly Member Schiavo. Congratulations once again to our honoree for his retirement, Hugh. Thank you. Members, moving on to our next guest introduction, please. I get your respectful attention to Assembly Member Davies for her guest introduction. Assembly Member Davies, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is my great pleasure to introduce to you legendary world championship surfer Shaun Tomson. Shaun has gone from the beach to the boardroom, classrooms, and yes, even speaking in jails. He brings a positive message, engaging people from all walks of life to practice the code.

The code is an academically validated program focused on turbocharging the core components of organizations well being and performance purposes, values, resilience, commitments, and connectivity. The process deepens interpersonal engagement by emotionally linking teams through shared missions and values and creates a wave of possibility throughout organizations. Many call the presentation transformational and life changing.

Shaun is from South Africa and has resided in Santa Barbara, where he has owned several businesses. He is a best selling author and a motivational speaker, where he often delivers his positive message to students, inmates, and to many Fortune 500 companies. Please welcome Shaun to California State Assembly.

Mr. Hart, you are recognized for your guest introduction.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I also like to thank my colleague from Orange County for recognizing my constituent, Shaun Tomson. I've had the pleasure of reading his book the Surfer and the Sage. I'd even brought it with me today. He kindly signed it.

In his book, Shaun's reflections and poems explore important themes such as despair and hope, isolation and connection, and fear and courage. His book serves as a much needed guide for those going through difficult times and looking for hope and faith. Shaun's also been a tireless champion for ocean conservation.

He uses his global platform to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our coastlines and marine ecosystems. Shaun's contributions to the Central Coast community and across the globe are truly significant. Thank you Shaun, for your leadership and uplifting thousands with your positive and transformative message. Thank you.

Thank you Mister speaker and Members. I rise today to present HR 121, a resolution that honor the courage and resilience of the Vietnamese refugee who fled the homeland following the fall of Saigon. This resolution would designate September as both people Awareness Month and the week of July 23 as both people Awareness Week.

After the Forbes Saigon, many Vietnamese faced unimaginable hardship as they embark the journey in circle freedom. These prey individuals encounter numerous dangers, including pirate attack, overroded vessel, violent storms and severe shortage of food and water.

While a few thousand people had fled Vietnam by boat between 1975 and mid 1978, it was in September 1978 that the mass exodus of the Bo people truly began. Between 1978 and 1995, nearly 800,000 Vietnamese refugees risked their lives navigating the treacherous seas to fight safety in foreign lands.

Tragically, it is estimated that between 200,400 thousand lives were lost at sea during this desperate voyage. It was in July 1979 that the international community, move by the flight of the Bo people, came together under the United nations to address this humanitarian crisis.

Sr 121 seek to recognize the importance of this event by establishing the week of July 23 to 30th as four people Awareness Week. Thanks to the effort of the UN, the United States and other nations, countless refugees were given opportunity to rebuild their life in safety.

In 1980, Congress passed a refugee act which facilitated the resettlement of thousands of Vietnamese refugees in the US. By the year 2000, over 1 million people, Vietnamese descent, had made America their home, majority of which settled right here in California. The Vietnamese poor people now contribute and enrich our reconnaissance and stay every day.

I respectfully ask for your. I vote for Sr 121.

Thank you, Assembly Member Ta . Assembly Member Nguyen. You are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker, I rise on behalf of the API Legislative caucus in support of HR one, making September 2024 boat People Awareness Month. My parents were part of the 800,000 that escaped Vietnam, their only country, the homeland of my people, at sea, in that big sea, facing the unknown, facing dangerous nights and days.

But they did it. They did it to sought out new life. New life for their family, new life for their children, new life for themselves. Today's resolution is more than just a designation. It's a tribute to those who risked everything at a chance for freedom. On behalf of the API Legislative caucus, I respectfully ask for your.

I vote thank you Assembly Member Dewen, Senate Member Gallagher, you are recognized.

Yes, thank you, Mister speaker, Members, I also wanted to rise in support of HR 121 and recently had the opportunity to be in little Saigon with the author. And one of the places that we visited was a memorial to the boat people. And I was just struck.

I don't think I had really known that story of hundreds of thousands who were fleeing by, you know, even after the immediate fall of Saigon, the hundreds of thousands who were trying to leave in boats. And there's a memorial there in Westminster that really shows the names, so many names, too many names.

And it struck me a little bit similar to my ancestors who came from Ireland. Hundreds of thousands died in the voyage across the Atlantic coming, you know, to America, very similar to what the Vietnamese experienced. And it also struck me that, look, communism, and what happened, you know, when the north took over, it was terrible.

And so many who were affected by that communism is not harmless. And we had a similar resolution not too long ago where we talked about that millions who have been killed under communist regimes, authoritarian regimes, where their lives, their freedoms were completely taken away, and the only way was to escape.

The only way was to escape to freedom. And they found that here in America.

And I talked to so many people who had that same experience, you know, that came here to America and finally had that opportunity where they could have that freedom, where they could start a business, where they could pursue their dream, where it wasn't someone else telling them, you know, what you could and could not do.

And that exists to this day. And I think it's a reminder for us. It's like that's happening right now with the Uyghurs in China. That is happening in far too many of the communist countries. That's happening in Venezuela right now.

And we see the people coming out as a dictator, a communist dictator, continues to try to hold on to power in Venezuela. These things are happening now. And so I think it's a reminder to us that we need to be ever vigilant standing against these communist regimes who have destroyed millions of lives.

And this is only one example. And I thank the author for bringing this. It's an important thing that we remember this, that we acknowledge it, and that we move forward today in solidarity. Thank you.

Thank you. Assemblymember Gallagher. Assemblymember Jim Patterson, you are recognized.

Thank you. I, too rise to support this resolution. Although my oldest son, BJ, was not part of the boat people, he was picked up on the side of the road at 18 months old by two GIS in April of 1975 when Saigon was falling.

And for them to have delayed their effort at evacuation to pick that little guy up, take him to a Catholic orphanage where he was cared for for a couple of weeks, and then put on the c five A operation baby lift. A lot of folks came to the United States in boats.

BJ and over 3000 others came to the United States in a c five a he is today a plumbing contractor in Fresno, California. He's 52 years old, and I can't tell you what he has meant to us. A real blessing.

And so, although he came a little different way, he nonetheless was protected and cared for by two important institutions that have value in the United States, our service Members and the catholic ministries of orphanage. And when those two individuals picked him up, they were doing their duty, even at a time when they were at risk.

And when those nuns took care of little BJ, he was nourished, and he was found in pretty serious condition. But today, he's healthy, married, owns his own home, has his own business, and he is an absolute voice in my ear about the blessing of being in the United States of America.

He'll say, dad, if those two GIS hadn't picked me up, if those nuns hadn't cared for me, if President Ford hadn't sent the c five a over, if you didn't adopt me, I'd be probably still in a Communist country, maybe behind a water buffalo and a rice paddy, and would not be free.

He is a joyous and grateful Vietnamese American citizen of the United States. And he's Brian James Patterson. I love him, and I appreciate all of the work that so many people did at a time when doing this goodness. These two GIS maybe even risk their own lives.

And so I join with others, and we live with the joy of that son and a remembrance of those who helped him come to us. Now, his airplane, by the way, was the first c five a that left. It crashed, and he survived that crash, put on another c five a. We had an opportunity.

There's an Association of family Members who've adopted these children. And I had the opportunity of meeting the pilot of that c five a that although the plane missed the Runway coming back to Saigon, BJ was saved in that one. So if you're interested in the details, it's Operation Baby lift. It'll tug at your heart.

And I just wanted to stand and just say thanks to the Member from Little Saigon to our Vietnamese female Member. I feel a real kinship with her and her story. You know, we were just. We were just God's backstop for BJ. You know, he needed a set of circumstances to happen, and they did.

And as a result, he was saved. As a result, he's free. As a result, he has his own business. As a result, he has his own home. zero, and by the way, he married an accountant. Every family needs a plumber and an accountant in them. So, anyway, we've been blessed and I wanted to join others.

So I rise to support this as well. Although our gift was through the air, hundreds of thousands were gifted to the United States on the sea. So God bless everybody that left that communist place and came to freedom and opportunity. And BJ was one of them. Thank you.

Thank you, Mister Patterson. Mister Ta, would you like to close on your resolution for both people? Awareness.

Senate Bill 554 by Senator Cortese and others, an act relating to restraining orders.

Thank you. Assemblymember Rubio, you are recognized.

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker and Members. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to present SB 554, the Survivors Protection Act, on behalf of Senator Cortese. Current law in California fails to outline jurisdictional responsibility for restraining order petitions. This gap often causes courts to dismiss or deny orders when parties are in different states.

Even if the survivor fled for safety purposes. SB 554 allows survivors to petition for a restraining order in a California court if the defendant is a resident of California, as well as if the crime was committed in the state, regardless of the survivor's residency status. This language already exists in 26 other states across the country.

The nature of abuse has transformed and so must our laws. Modern technology provides perpetrators a variety of new tools to harass and commit violence against survivors. The need for this bill is tremendous. Interstate violence is now the norm, not the exception. When the survivor is unprotected, it is the perpetrator that is safe.

It is time interstate violence is met with interstate protection. Perpetrators have no borders. Neither should a survivor's protection. Thank you, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Rubio. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the Clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes. Ayes 49. Excuse me. Ayes 51, noes one. Measure passes. Moving to the majority leader for her motion.

I request unanimous consent to suspend Joint Rule 62 A, the file notice requirement to allow the government organization Committee to meet Thursday, August 22, upon adjournment of session in the swing space, room 1100, for the purpose of holding an informational hearing on tribal compacts.

Clerk will note.

Moving to File Item 250: SB 1386: Senator Caballero by Assembly Member Petrie-Norris. Pass and retain. Moving to File Item 251: SB 1458: Senator Allen by Assembly Member Gabriel. Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 1458 by Senator Allen, an act relating to estates.

Mr. Gabriel, you are recognized.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present SB 1458 by Senator Allen, which would improve the ability of fiduciaries to access and manage digital assets. The revised uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act modernized fiduciary law to address the shift from physical documents and bank deposits to electronic records and property.

However, current law generally only applies to fiduciaries acting after the death of a person for whom they are a fiduciary. Agents acting under the power of attorney and conservators do not have clear legal authority to access and manage digital assets. This has limited the ability of those fiduciaries to do their jobs to the detriment of individuals who may be in need of a fiduciary while living because they're unable to manage their own affairs.

This bill adds agents acting under a power of attorney and conservators to the statutory scheme, giving these fiduciaries the legal authority to manage digital assets and electronic communications. This bill has received bipartisan support and has no opposition. On behalf of Senator Allen, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 1458.

Thank you, Assembly Member Gabriel. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote.

The Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 1445 by Senator Cortese, an act relating to school governance.

Assemblymember Bonta, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. Today, I rise to present SB 1445 on behalf of Senator Cortese. SB 1445 will enable school districts and charter schools to allow their student board members to receive limited case information separate from a closed session meeting with the consent of the student facing expulsion and their parent or guardian to provide restorative justice recommendations for the larger board's consideration in their closed session meetings.

Excluding student board members from the expulsion hearing process deprived students of the opportunity to advocate for their peers. By passing this bill, we will reinforce restorative justice principles in our schools and strengthen connections among affected individuals, peers, teachers, and the wider school community. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Bonta. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the Clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote.

Clerk will read the Senate Bill 1022 by Senator Skinner and others inaccurately note civil rights.

Senate Member Kalra, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. SB 1022 provides California civil rights Department the time needed to effectively investigate and respond to systemic discrimination. Discrimination complaints from the civil rights Department are usually based on race, gender, gender identity, sexuality and disability and can include serious violations of rights. The civil rights Department investigates thousands of civil rights claims annually.

They mediate and settle many cases, but some complaints may come from multiple parties against the same entity over a period of years. Such complaints, referred to as directors complaints, can be complex and require additional time to investigate. SB 1022 addresses this circumstance by giving CRD the ability to investigate systemic violations over a seven year period.

SB 1022 does not change statute limitations for lawsuits filed by an individual. SB 1022 only affects directors complaints and brings California's process in closer alignment to the federal process for such negotiations. Providing CRD additional time also gives CRD time to negotiate and reach agreements rather than only pursuing lawsuits. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Assail may Member Kara seeing and hearing no further debate, the Clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes. Ayes 42, noes15. Measure passes.

The Clerk will read Senate Bill 1137 by Senator Smallwood-Cuevas and others, an act relating to discrimination.

Assemblymember McKinnor, you are recognized.

Good afternoon. I am pleased to present SB 1137 on behalf of Senator Smallwood-Cuevas, which would make California the pioneering state to recognize intersectional in our civil rights laws by clarifying that discrimination is prohibited because of not only one protected trait, but also any combination of two or more protected traits.

Under current law, all individuals are protected from discrimination, but these cases are exacerbated when an individual has experienced discrimination based on a combination or intersection of protected classes. For example, when a black woman brings forward a discrimination case, she may be forced to address her race and and gender claims separately.

In cases where intersectional discrimination occurs, the defense may attempt to use the separation of characteristics to defeat the claim entirely. Courts throughout the nation have ruled on these cases inconsistently and largely on a case by case basis.

Intersectionality discrimination is not limited to race, and gender discrimination can be also expressed based on one's age, race, or national origin, or any combination of protected classes. Those of us who live at the intersection of multiple protected classes know that these experiences cannot always be neatly separated. We carry all of our identities with us at all times, and it is necessary that our laws reflect this. And I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember McKinnor. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the Clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes. Ayes 51, noes four. Measure passes. File item 278, SB 1249 by Senator Roth.

Moving to file item 291, SB 1395, Senator Becker by Assembly Member Hart.

The Clerk will read Senate Bill 1395 by Senator Becker and others in apparatus. So, Member Hart, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. I rise to present SB 1395 on behalf of Senator Becker, which will save lives by bridging the gap between being unsheltered and finding permanent housing. California has the largest homeless population in the nation, where 67% of California homeless individuals are without shelter.

In the past 10 years, there's been a nearly 240% increase in mortality rates for homeless communities due to exposure and lack of access to care. This is horrifying and unacceptable for a state with the fifth largest economy in the world.

That's why I'm proud to principal co author SB 1395, the Interim Housing act, which will fill a missing rung on the ladder from unsheltered homelessness to permanent housing. SB 1395 cuts the red tape for local governments and empowers them to build interim housing.

The Bill expedites approvals, reduces construction time and costs, and builds on past efforts to expand temporary shelters. SB 1395 will let us quickly and inexpensively construct modular, non congregate units on underutilized land at Low cost. The Bill has bipartisan support and no opposition. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Mister Hart. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the Clerk will open the door. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll until votes. Ayes 66, nos zero measure passes.

Clerk will read Senate Bill 1251 by Senator Stern and accolade in a mosquito abatement.

Assembly Member Schiavo, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and Members. I rise to present SB 1251 on behalf of Senator Stern. While many of us simply experience a mosquito bite as something irritating, these tiny pests can transfer serious diseases with a single bite that can result in severe and debilitating illness.

Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, and utility vaults are consistently reported by mosquito control professionals to be one of the most problematic sources, in part due to the difficulty in accessing them.

SB 1251 would require electrical corporations to enter into jointly developed vector management agreements upon request of the mosquito control Agency for purposes of mosquito surveillance, treatment and post treatment inspections. This Bill will remove barriers to vault access, enhance communications between mosquito control agencies and electrical corporations, and ultimately improve our mosquito abatement programs. Respectfully request an I vote.

Assemblymember Sanchez, you are recognized on the amendments.

Mr. Speaker and Members, today I'm presenting technical amendments on behalf of Senator Nguyen for SB 1099.

Moving to File Item 311: SB 1210: Senator Skinner by Assembly Member Hart. The clerk will read.

Senate Bill 1210 by Senator Skinner, an act relating to utility service.

Assembly Member Hart, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to present SB 1210 on behalf of Senator Skinner. SB 1210 requires utilities to post a schedule of utility hookup fees by category. It also requires posting information related to estimated timelines for completion in these same categories.

Exorbitant utility hookup fees and long timelines for completion hurt California's ability to build new housing units, and additional transparency is a common sense step in finding a solution. A key factor that makes it harder to build housing is costs, and costs are hard to estimate without estimated fee schedules.

Another key factor is time: delays in housing production, herd availability of housing, and increased costs. Making information on fees and completion timelines publicly available will help ensure homeowners, contractors, and developers know what to expect in advance. I respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly Member Hart. Seeing and hearing no further debate, the clerk will open the roll. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. All those vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes.

Ask that you give your respectful attention to those who were granted prior permission for an adjournment in memory. Quorum call is in place. Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker and Members. I rise today to adjourn in memory of a trailblazer, a fierce advocate for all Californians, and especially children. She was a dear friend of mine and mentor to so many others, and someone who has been in my corner from the very beginning: the Honorable Delaine Eastin.

She was the fifth woman in California house history to be elected to the Statewide Constitutional Office and the only woman to serve as Superintendent of Public Instruction. Delaine passed away peacefully on April 23rd surrounded by loved ones. She was 76, and Members, tonight raise a glass of wine.

Tomorrow's her birthday and she'd love to know that we're all celebrating her. Born in San Diego, Delaine primarily grew up in San Carlos. Delaine was raised by her blue collar parents, Hank, a machinist, and Dottie, a store clerk, both who had never attended college. But they stressed the importance of education.

They took out a second mortgage on their home to pay for her college expenses. 'Education changed my life forever,' Eastin said in a 218 interview--2018 interview. 'I want that for every kid.' While attending Claremont High School, a drama teacher encouraged Delaine to try out for a part in 'The Man Who Came to Dinner.'

I can just see Delaine dismissing that idea, but the teacher responded, 'if you never try out, you will never get the part.' That advice stuck with Delaine for the rest of her life. Oh, and by the way, she got the part.

Delaine earned a bachelor's degree from UC Davis in 1969 and a master's from UC Santa Barbara in 1971, both in political science. She taught at community colleges and worked in the private sector before being elected to her first office, Union City Council, in 1980.

Delaine then was elected to the Assembly in 1986 and was part of the biggest class of freshmen women in the history of California at the time: five. In the mid-80s, women members had to stand up for each other and support each other because they would be dismissed and spoken down to by their male colleagues.

Delaine told a reporter that she remembered in the early days there were people who wouldn't let her on a member's elevator because she was a girl. Delaine further recalled, an Assembly leader referred to the Women's Caucus as the Lipstick Caucus. He ultimately apologized.

Delaine served in the Assembly until 1994 and then served as Superintendent of Public Instruction from 1995 to 2003. Delaine and her then husband desperately wanted children but were never blessed. After she was elected as Superintendent, he said to her, 'well, now you have 6.1 million children.' And so she did.

Delaine worked tirelessly to get progressive women elected to public office. She served as a board chair of the Close the Gap and was always a featured speaker at Emerge California sessions, where she captivated entire audiences of future leaders. As for my own personal relationship and journey with Delaine, it was Delaine who encouraged me to run.

She was one of my first and one of my biggest supporters, and she was my rock. She was my friend. She used to say to me, 'Cecilia, make sure you go to that Assembly and tell everybody they need a backbone, a brass backbone.' And that's what I try to do every day.

And I always knew she had my back and I'm standing on the shoulder of a giant. Let us all empower the future generations of leaders to ensure women's voices are heard. Let's make Delaine proud by electing more women to office and to constitutional offices.

Delaine is survived by her chosen daughters: Daisy Gonzalez, who is a deputy chancellor of the state's community college system, and Maha Ibrahim, a lawyer with Equal Rights Advocates, and several cousins and nieces and nephews. You two meant the world to her. She was so proud of you, and she would tell me that, 'do you know the girls?'

'They're going places.' She was a great mother to you. On the Assembly floor, I would like to recognize, and I have some in the gallery as well--is Daisy and Ibrahims here? I believe there's others. But I want to thank you all for being here today.

Members, I respectfully request that you join me in adjourning in the memory of the honorable, toughest woman I've ever met, the Honorable Delaine Eastin. She'll be forever remembered for her boundless intellect, her compassionate spirit, her sharp, sharp sense of humor, courageous leadership, and inspiration to current and future generations. Bless you, my girlfriend. Happy birthday.

Thank you, Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry. Assembly Member McCarty, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to join my colleague from Yolo County in adjourning in memory of Delaine Eastin, who was a trailblazer. I'm going to talk about tomorrow, in my final month in the Assembly, when I started as an intern here in the Capitol in 1994, there was a generation of people leaving the State Assembly.

You know, there were the legends like Willie Brown and John Burton, but there was also Delaine Eastin, and I remember when she got up and put up her mic, people paid attention because she spoke truth to power, but she was an amazing orator.

Talking, she could really capture a room, and fast forward 20 years later when I had a chance to work on early education issues, when we wanted to have a big speaker or a big conference, we wanted to focus on who should be our keynote or get someone's attention, it was Delaine Eastin.

Cause she could really connect the dots as far as why investing in education means so much. And I may get this wrong, and maybe one of her former staffers will correct me, but she always says, 'I believe in the state constitution.' She says, 'the very first thing that we talk about is investing in education, investing our kids.'

She says, 'when you talk about the budget in Prop 98, no--it's the number one thing when you open up the state constitution we should invest in.' And so she did speak truth to power and believe in our six million kids in public education, and she was elected to State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

And that job isn't always an easy job, but she made sure that job was relevant and she focused on making sure that she helped districts across the state. It wasn't just a chance to go over there and hang out and work on speeches and press releases. She went across California to try to improve public schools, champion legislation.

And so all the work that we've been doing today, improving our public schools, is built upon her work. And lastly, I want to say that in my final weeks here in the Capitol, a lot of people have asked me, 'what will you remember the most about? What was the bill that you worked on that you think will have the, the lasting legacy?'

And by far I will say it is my law to make universal preschool free and accessible for all Californians. And you know, success has many fathers and failure is an orphan, so I had many co-authors and joint authors: Mr. Ting, Cervantes; many of you had your name on that bill with us and eventually got passed through the Budget Act.

But when I focused on this big win in 2021, I went and did the research and looked at the past 30 years and who had introduced free, universal preschool bills in California. There was about ten members who had introduced the bill over 20 years and they never got their bill signed into law.

It took the lining of the stars to it all work out. But the very first bill introduced for universal preschool in California was introduced by Delaine Eastin. So she was a pioneer on these things well before us, and so her legacy lives on.

And I also want to join my colleague from Yolo County and her family and friends and supporters and adjourn in her memory and remember her work on behalf of the kids of California. Thank you.

Thank you, Assembly Member McCarty, and just a thank you to family and friends who are with us today. You have our deepest condolences. Assembly Member Holden, you are recognized for your adjournments in memory.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and Members. I rise today to request that we adjourn in the memory of a very dear friend, Reginald 'Reggie' R. Webb, who passed away on July 20th, 2024 at the age of 76. Reggie was born in South Bend, Indiana and moved to Southern California in 1959 with his grandmother at the age of 11.

In the mid-1960s, Reggie served honorably in the U.S. Coast Guard. Following his discharge, he pursued political science at California State University, Los Angeles. During that time, he became actively involved in the war on poverty, working for the Greater LA Community Action Agency. In 1973, Reggie joined McDonald's accelerated management development program.

After honing his skills in the restaurants, he transitioned to the corporate division. Over his 12-year tenure, he ascended to the role of Regional Vice President, Southern California. In 1985, the Webbs became McDonald's franchisees, starting with two restaurants in Pomona and expanding to Baldwin Park, Claremont, La Puente, Montclair, Ontario, and San Bernardino.

In 2004, Reggie received the prestigious 365 Black Award from McDonald's, honoring his commitment to strengthening African American communities. As a trailblazer in Black-owned franchises, the Webbs established the Webb Family Enterprise as a model of successful franchise ownership, growing the business to 16 locations in the Inland Empire by the time Reggie turned--retired in May of 2021.

Reggie was deeply committed to the economic empowerment of Black and marginalized communities. He remained focused on helping others rise with him. He founded the Cooperative Economic Empowerment Movement to empower Black entrepreneurs in creating generational wealth for their families through business and community collaboration.

In December 20th of 21, California State University San Bernardino recognized Reggie by awarding him an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters. Reggie served on numerous boards of directors, including the Los Angeles Urban League, Pomona Valley Hospital, and the University of La Verne.

Reggie is survived by his beloved wife for more than 50 years, René Webb, his three children: sons Karim, Kyle, and daughter Kiana, eight cherished grandchildren, and one grandchild. Colleagues, I thank you for giving us an opportunity to adjourn in the amazing memory of Reggie R. Webb.

Thank you, Assembly Member Holden. Mr. Holden, you are recognized for an additional adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I request that we adjourn in the memory of a constituent and a very dear friend, Arzella Valentine, who passed away on July 31st of this year. Arzella was born in Denver, Colorado, grew up in Ingalls, Arkansas, and later graduated from Merrill High School in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

In 1946, she moved to Pasadena with her sister, enrolled in John Muir Junior College. Arzella earned an AA degree and pursued her love for writing at UCLA. In addition to being an accomplished businesswoman, Arzella was also a published poet.

Her books, 'Growing up in Mt. Olive' and 'Return to Mt. Olive,' contain beautiful poems and short stories about her upbringing in the rural south. In 1949, she married the love of her life, Fred W. Valentine, at Friendship Baptist Church in Pasadena. In 1954, Fred and Arzella purchased their uncle's business, James W. Wood Mortuary, later named Woods and Valentine Mortuary.

Arzella Valentine and her late husband Fred were prominent business leaders in Pasadena community for more than 70 years. Woods-Valentine Mortuary is one of the preeminent Black-owned businesses in Pasadena and provides unwavering support for families during their times of bereavement and loss.

Arzella was an active member of Friendship Baptist Church in Pasadena. Over the years, she served as a counselor for children's choir, member of the Finance and Bylaws Committees.

She also served Pasadena and the greater community through service and leadership at Jack and Jill of America, Funeral Service Association, Big Sisters of YWCA, the Soroptimist Club, Pasadena Bicentennial Celebration Committee, the Urban League, the NAACP, and the Pasadena Links Incorporated.

Earlier this year, the California Legislative Black Caucus and California Black Chamber of Commerce joined me in recognizing Woods and Valentine as my 41st Assembly District Black History Month honoree. Arzella is survived by her two daughters: Janyce Layne Valentine, Gail Alicia Taylor, granddaughters Gemia Layne Taylor, Gianna Lois Fay, and Andrea Denise Brayboy, and five cherished grandchildren. Thank you for allowing me to adjourn in her wonderful memory.

Thank you, Assembly Member Holden. 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. Members, just a couple of announcements. First one: please--if I can have your attention. Tomorrow we plan to spend a couple of hours honoring our departing members.
