Senate Bill 901 by Senator Umberg an act relating to the military.

Senator Umberg.

Thank you, Mister President and colleagues.

[Roll Call]

Senator Umberg moves the call. Next Members, we're moving on to file item 25 by Senator Padilla. He is prepared. Secretary, you may read.

Senate Bill 764 by Senator Padilla an accolade to minors.

Senator Padilla.

Thank you, Mister President and colleagues. SB 764 is back on conclusion with minor amendments from the Assembly. To give it consistency with existing statute.

Senate Bill 764 would require family content creators who are compensated for filming their minor children and more than 30% of their content to set aside a percentage of their earnings in a trust for the benefit of their minor when they reach the age of majority.

It builds on the Coogan act, which became the national standard in protecting children from financial abuse in the entertainment industry after famous child actor Jackie Coogan had his earnings stolen from his guardians.

As social media becomes even more integrated into our daily life and a growing share of the entertainment landscape, we need to update our hard fought labor protections and safeguards to protect the financial performer of these children and their future. 764 would recognize that children deserve financial protection and compensation for being filmed and generating revenue for their family.

Assembly amendments require 65% of the earnings must be put in a trust. Along with other clarifying amendments. This bill has had broad bipartisan support and no opposition. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item. Any further discussion or debate hearing. Seeing none. Secretary, please call the roll on file item 25.

Senate Bill 532 by Senator Wiener, an act relating to vehicles.

Senator Wiener, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Mister President. Colleagues at rise to present SB 532, which modernizes parking payments by authorizing, but not requiring a five year pilot program in San Francisco, Long Beach and Santa Monica to implement paid parking without having to incur the high cost of physical meters.

Current law effectively requires cities to spend significant limited resources purchasing, installing and maintaining outdated and expensive parking meter equipment. Parking meters also can impede passage for people with disabilities and take up valuable sidewalk space that could be repurposed for other uses.

SB 532 addresses these challenges by allowing the three pilot cities to pilot a pay by phone only zone, provided that the city provide signage in such zones and works with local stakeholders to implement reasonably accessible means for cash payments and parking fees.

The requirement for this pilot is stronger than existing law, which does not require physical parking meters to accept cash payments at all. Finally, the Bill caps the maximum citation for those who do not pay at all for parking in such zones at 50% of the regular citation cost. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item. Hearing, seeing none secretary please call the roll on file item 32.

Ayes 38, noes zero. The Assembly amendments are concurred in. Members, we're going to ask for your attention for a minute. We want to recognize former State Senator from the State of Washington, Reuven Carlyle. Welcome to the California State Senate. Thank you for joining us here today. All right, Members. Now we're moving on to file item 37 by Senator Allen. He is prepared. Secretary, you may read.

Senate Bill 285 by Senator Allen, an act relating to criminal procedure.

Senator Allen.

All right. Thank you, Mr. President. In 2017-2019 the Legislature passed the RISE Acts. We voted for... These were authored by Senators Mitchell, Lara, and Wiener. They prospectively repealed the application of certain sentence enhancements. I then authored, in 2021, SB 483 that created the process to remove those now invalid sentence enhancements to ensure that no one was serving extra time, you know, unnecessarily and unresponsively. Our office has heard many stories of those who have been given back years of their lives.

They're making the most of it, and I'm really proud of all of the successes from my SB 483. Unfortunately, a small but very real group of people convicted of violent and heinous crimes were also unintentionally made eligible for resentencing under SB 483.

And this bill, SB 285, intends to right this error by clarifying that people who have been sentenced to death or life without parole and they've been convicted for a sexual violent offense are not eligible for resentencing under my SB 483.

The bill will not retroactively affect anyone who's already been resentenced under the bill. But this is ultimately about reducing caseloads and limiting the retraumatization of victims and their families unnecessarily. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senator Dodd.

Amendments provide banks and credit unions with liability protections. Amendments delay implementation by one year to allow the banks to work some situations out.

Amendments also include enforcement provisions for any institution that repeatedly violates the law, and the amendments provide that if the application of the enforcement provisions are held invalid for one covered entity, the enforcement provisions are invalid for all there is no longer any opposition to this Bill. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

With that, respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item. Senator Jones.

Good morning, Mister President. Members. I rise in support of SB 597, and in fact, California is a little bit behind the rest of the country on this. I remember touring new homes in Denver, Colorado, probably over 20 years ago, and they were already doing these rainwater capture systems.

I'm sure that the technology and the efforts since then have been improved, and so I think California should be looking into this as well. I ask for an aye vote on SB 597. Any further discussion or debate on this item?

Hearing, seeing none. Senator Glazer, would you like to close?

I'd like to thank the Senator from Santee for making the point that is important. You know, in Australia, 40% of the homes have rainwater capture systems on them. 40%. In Australia, we are behind the times. We need to catch up. This bill will help that. With that, respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate Bill 1050 by Senator Bradford an act relating to state government.

Thank you, Mister President. SB 1050 is back for Assembly concurrence. This Bill would create a pathway to return land or provide restitution to Californians who have hit their land or their property taken by racially motivated reasons. Similar to what we did a few years ago with Bruce's beach.

Assembly amendments changed the responsible party from the state to the actual government entity that committed the racially motivated act. Amendments also remove the statute of limitations specifically for claims of racially motivated abuses of eminent domain. The Bill protects private property owners, meaning that land that is currently in private hands with good faith owners could not be reclaimed. These changes stay true to the original intent of the Bill of creating a path to justice for victims of racially motivated takings. And I respectfully as for your aye vote.

Members, any discussion or debate on this measure? Any discussion or debate scene? None. Secretary, please call the roll. zero, excuse me. Pardon me. I see a hand from the Senator from Fair Oaks. What purpose do you rise, sir?

To speak to the Bill. I suppose I'm just too far to your right for you to see me. Thank you very much Mister President.

It was the bling, I think the bling was shining in my eyes

When this Bill was originally introduced. I opposed it and I spoke to it certainly in Committee and I think on the floor. My concern was that the obligation of restitution laid with the state. That is to say, taxpayers from Colusa would potentially contribute in contributing to the restitution of a racially motivated take that happened in Southern California. The author has accepted amendments that really address the concern that I have. And I believe now that the Bill is imminently supportable, I urge an aye vote,

Thank you, Senator Niello, for brightening up our day. Any further discussion or debate, Senator Dahle?

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I also rise in support of this Bill. There's nothing worse than taking someone's land unjust. And in America and in California, we have the right to own private property. And the only time that property should be taken is through eminent domain.

And it should only be used for a public good, for schools, roads, and those types of situations. If it's been taken in any other way, that's unjust and it should be rectified. And this Bill, I think, moves in that direction to do that.

So I will be supporting this Bill and standing up for people who have private property. And that's the one thing that makes America great is we actually own something. And if it's unrightfully taken, we should make that right.

Any Member wishes to add their voice to this debate scene? None. Senator Bradford, you may close.

Thank you, Mister President. I want to thank my colleagues for joining me in what is really a sensible approach to returning land that was unjustly taken. And that's what this Bill specifically speaks to those folks who had their lands taken unjust for no other reasons than racially motivated hatred. So I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

All debate having ceased. Secretary, please call the roll.

Thank you, Mister President. Last August, an audit report showed that the CPUC was nothing, holding IOUS accountable for having some of the highest rates in the entire country and showing record profits.

This Bill would require the CPUC to look at the actual costs incurred by an IOU compared to the forecasted costs from the previous General rate case or GRC, and adjust rates to the next GRC if the Commission Deems they are unreasonably high. Vausto has worked hard to get the IU to neutral and respectfully ask for my vote.

Secretary, you may read Assembly Bill 2750 by Assemblymember Gallagher. An act relating to electricity. Senator Caballero.

Thank you, Mister President. It gives me great pleasure to present AB 2750 on behalf of Assemblymember Gallagher, which clarifies that biomass facilities located in air districts that voluntarily reclassify their ozone or particulate matter in the federal EPA classification system to a higher, more restrictive tier are not prohibited from receiving a bio ram power purchase agreement extension.

The bio Ram program has not only been successful in extending a lifeline to critical plants and reducing forest fuels, it also has resulted in cleaner air compared to open burning and requires stringent air emissions control.

Members, without a contract extension, this particular facility faces jeopardy and the ability to continue effectively managing forest waste and to provide renewable energy is at risk. I respectfully urge your support for this Bill and ask for your. I vote.

Senator Caballero moves the call. Now. Members are going to move on to file item 175. Senator Blakespear. She's prepared.

Secretary, you may read this. Let me Bill 3064 by somebody. Mayor Maienschein. And an act relating to firearms.

Senator Blakespear.

Thank you, Mister President. And Members. AB 3064 would require manufacturers of firearm safety devices to mark their products with make and model information. Firearm safety devices lock and prevent unauthorized authorized users from discharging a firearm. Safety devices must be used when a firearm is transferred through a dealer or when transported in sensitive places.

Without make and model information locked on the device, it is next to impossible for law enforcement and consumers to tell one from another, much less an approved device version versus and ineffective look alike. More importantly, if a consumer owns a safety device that has been recalled, is defective, or has a warranty issue.

They are unable to identify if their particular device is affected. The Bill also requires manufacturers to notify the Department of Justice in the event of a recall. This is a common sense Bill to. Assist both law enforcement and consumers, and I respectfully ask for your. I vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item, Senator Grove?

Mister chair, I rise in opposition of this and practically every other gun bell that's gone off this floor. The people who are violating the laws are not going to comply with this law.

And I can tell you that I think there's roughly 4 million gun owners, lawful gun owners, registered gun owners in the State of California, and probably 9 million handguns. One in four houses in California has a firearm in their home. And believe me, if we were the problem, you would know it. It's not us.

And we are following every law that you put in place. But we need to go after the people who would not follow these laws. And the guy carrying a gun on the street that's not using it for appropriate purposes and that is wreaking havoc, is not registering their firearms.

They are nothing complying with DOJ, they are not filling out an application. They're not doing lawful gun transfers. They are not getting someone to cite the gun transfers. They're not waiting for a 10 day waiting period for a second purchase, not much less the first.

And I just think it's ridiculous that we keep doing this because it's not us. Trust me, you would know it's not us. Respectfully, ask for a no vote.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate on this item? Seeing none. Senator Blakeshire, would you like to close?

Yes. Thank you. So, the data is unquestionably clear that Californians are safer because of our gun safety laws. So we need our gun laws to work properly and we need to continue to strengthen them in order to save lives. I respectfully ask for your. I vote.

All right, next up is file item 240, presented by Senator Umberg. He's prepared. Secretary, you may read

Assembly Bill 1755 by Assemblymember Kalra an act relating to civil actions. Senator Umberg?

Thank you, Mister President and colleagues. This Bill concerns Lemon law. The so called Lemon law, also known as the Song Beverly act, was enacted almost 50 years ago. And, oh, by the way, to the smart Alec, Senator asked me how I voted on it 50 years ago. I was not here.

It's been quite effective in ensuring that those who have acquired a car with sort of repetitive issues be able to seek a remedy. But there's been some challenges, particularly in the last few years. And as such, there's been a compromise that has been agreed to by some of the auto manufacturers, General Motors and Ford and Stellantis, along with the consumer attorneys. And many of you have asked the right question. What does this mean for the consumer in California?

What good does this provide over the existing law for the consumer in California? Because that's, I think that's what we're about. And let me just list a couple of things that are better if this law is enacted.

First in terms of notice right now, there's no requirement that the manufacturer provide any information as to how one would access lemon law remedies under the new Bill. Under this Bill, there is a requirement.

The requirement is that the manufacturer basically provided on its website a way to access those remedies notice in the owner's manual and in the warranty booklet, and that be provided in both English and in Spanish. It also benefits the consumer because under existing law, there's no requirement for the manufacturer even to respond to a complaint.

There's no requirement under this law, the manufacturer is required to respond within 30 days and within 60 days to basically either come to a resolution or you're off to the races.

It also provides, if you are engaged in litigation for early resolution, either through mediation or if you continue, is through early discovery, the exchange of documents, the exchange of information, the exchange of witnesses, as exists in newly enacted law here in California.

One of the great challenges, especially in the last few years, brought to our attention, brought to my attention both formally and informally, are what's happening with respect to the courts. Lemon law cases have exploded in the last few years. And just by way of example, in 2015, there were 4,306 filings, whereas in 2022, there were 14,892 filings.

2023 that increased from 14,000, almost 15,000 to 22,000. And in 2024, we're, right now we're set to have over 30,000 lemon law filings, which for those of you familiar with civil litigation, they're clogging the courts, and they're also having an indirect impact on other matters. Soon, many of the courts will be back to where we were years ago in terms of cases not being able to be decided for five years, which is really unacceptable. Now, of course, this is a compromise, and there are some that are unhappy with the compromise.

This compromise requires that the consumer actually, like the other 49 states of the United States, provide written notice to the manufacturer, not just a phone call, but written notice to the manufacturer so the manufacturer can respond. And it also, as you probably heard, because of the expedited discovery and the expedited process, ironically, there are groups of lawyers that say that this basically reduces litigation expenses and another group that says it increases litigation expenses.

It is, I think, the judge's view that whether it's more expensive or not, what it does is it reduces the number of filings, which I think logically would lead you to believe that it also reduces the amount of money spent on lawyers.

In sum, this is not a perfect Bill, but like all compromises, it achieves something for those who engage. And I think this is a benefit to California consumers. And I urge an aye vote.

Any further discussion or debate on this item. Senator Grove?

Thank you, Mister President. This Bill, like the author said, was lobbied very hard on both sides. I do have a question of the author, if that's okay.

Senator Umberg, would you take a question? Through the chair.

Thank you. Through the chair, listening to both sides of the argument, and you mentioned it when you were opening about one side says it creates more litigation and the other side says it creates less litigation.

My question to you is that on the more litigation side, the statement was made that if you're a car, if you're a car seller, retailer and you provide good service and you fix your customer's problem, there is a perception that that ability is not going to be there anymore, that as soon as there's a problem with the vehicle, you can't provide good service and it's immediately going to go to litigation. Do you see that in the language? And if so, can you tell me if it's there or not? Not that I'm distrusting what's been told to me. I'm just asking.

I disagree. I disagree because this process provides basically an opportunity to resolve it. Pre litigation. It also provides for mediation. And then lastly, if there should be litigation, it provides for early discovery, it provides for information being exchanged earlier on, rather than requiring motion practice and that kind of thing.

Okay, so just to clarify, if I'm a car dealer and I sell you a car and you have a problem with your transmission, and if I, as a car dealer, provide you excellent customer service and I fix your transmission, you're not going to immediately drag me into litigation?

There's a process, well, this both substantively, under the Song Beverly Act, you wouldn't be qualified basically for some sort of a buyback if you've just brought it in for one fix and it's been resolved. But even under the new compromise process, yes, the car dealer would not be obligated basically to engage in sort of the lemon law process to then further resolve the issue.

Okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you for answering my question, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you, Senator Niello.

Thank you, Mister President. Now, first of all, as an automobile dealer, we are not involved in lemon law cases. We're observers. I want to stress that that's why I do not believe that I have to abstain on this. But I'll state, first of all, that the Lemon law was passed 50 years ago, over 50 years ago.

I think Ronald Reagan signed that Bill, and there's no doubt that it needs a review. I would agree with that. But my concern about this Bill is the process by which it was developed. And all you have to look at to question that is the support and opposition. This is very unusual. We don't see this very often.

We have manufacturers that support it, and we have manufacturers that oppose it. We have the consumer attorneys who support it, and we have a large number of consumer organizations that oppose it. We have or people organizations from similar sources with opposite views on this. There's something wrong with that.

Now, one thing I'd like to point out in the Committee meeting, the opponents were asked, is there anything in this proposal that you like? I think it was the colleague from Santa Monica who asked that question, a very good question that I didn't think to ask.

And each one of them said, yes, there are parts of this Bill that we like, but not all of it. So it seems to me that there is a path forward now with regard to, by the way, the explosion of cases in the last several years.

I did ask our dealerships what their observation is about lemon law cases in the last few years, and they have increased and there's observations by our folks. Number one, it is increasingly electric vehicles, interestingly, and maybe that's the nature of our franchises, because we have, our manufacturers have introduced electric vehicles to the market in this timeframe.

There's also been, and if anybody has purchased a new car in the last half dozen years, and if you had one that was maybe a half dozen years older, by the way, first of all, I'd ask you to buy new cars more frequently. But I digress.

But you would notice that there is an incredible increase in the electronic capability of these vehicles, really to the point that I find I can't even use half of the capabilities that are available to me as a driver of the vehicle. The technological developments are getting a little bit ahead of the reliability of the vehicles.

That's not a criticism of the manufacturers. That's part of the competitive market to make cars more appealing to consumers. But that has been part of the dynamic of increased cases also. And people have mentioned prosecutorial aggression, but it is the consumer attorneys who are on the side of reforming it.

So whether that's part of it or not, I will not be the judge. Now, there was a discussion in the Committee about after, if the Bill passes next year, for the author and the proponents to bring in the other side to talk about their issues and maybe have another Bill next year.

I'm not comfortable with that because I'm not completely convinced that it will happen. But I will take the commitment of the author and the consumer attorneys and other supporters that they're willing to talk about the issues of the other side.

And so, therefore, I will not be supporting this Bill in the hopes that we can reform the lemon law in a way that will work for everybody, but bring everybody involved, and let's not see a situation where we have people and organizations of otherwise common interests against each other on a particular piece of legislation.

Thank you. Any further discussion or debate? Senator Newman, is your mic up? zero, okay. All right. Just want to make sure anyone else. Okay, see? No more mics. Senator Umberg, would you like to close?

Thank you, Mister President. And I thank my colleague from Fair Oaks, who has more expertise in this space than I certainly do. And I just. The actual author, Assembly Member, Kalra, just told me just moments ago he's already begun subsidy meetings with some of the manufacturers who are opposed in anticipation of potential legislation next year.

There's no perfect legislation. Well, except for some of my bills, but for the most part, there's no perfect legislation. But this is a compromise, in my view, that benefits consumers, and I urge an aye vote.

All right, discussion. Secretary, please call the roll on file item 240.

Mister secretary, you may read Assembly Bill. 3123 by Assemblymember Joan Sawyer. An accolade in the transportation. Senator Durazo.

Thank you, Mister President. AB 3123 ensures ethic rules that govern elected officials statewide apply equally to the. Los Angeles Metro Board of directors. California has made clear there's a uniform. There should be a uniform ethics law. Governing contract decisions by local and state officials. However, Alimetro is still subject to a 30 year old law that imposes different.

Standards on its board Members regarding contract decisions and campaign contributions from contractors. This has made it difficult for Alimetro. To comply with the most recent ethics. Standards the state has set in place. And this Bill, narrowly tailored, aligns the metro board with the Levine act. It also updates Metro's lobbyist registration statute.

And codifies the specific authority of Metro's Ethics Department. I respectfully ask for your vote.

Assembly Bill 1886, by Assembly Member Alvarez, an act relating to land use.

Senator Skinner.

Thank you, Mister President. Members. AB 1886. Deals with some of the issues around the self certifying that local governments are doing in relationship to the housing element. The self certification means that the applications are not necessarily being processed or outright denied and ultimately causing thousands of potential units to be stalled.

AB 1886 doesn't establish a new tool, but necessarily clarifies an existing one. It follows recent court decisions, so it helps provide certainty and clears up ambiguity in the law. With that, I ask for your aye vote on AB 1886.
