Assembly Floor

The assembly is now in session. Assembly member Ellis notices the absence of a quorum. Sergeant Arms will prepare the chamber, bringing the absent members. Clerk will call the roll.

[Roll Call]

Members, a quorum is present. We ask our guests and visitors in the rear of the chamber and in the gallery to please stand for today's prayer. You can all stand up in the gallery, please. Please stand. Reverend Oshita will offer today's prayer. Reverend Oshita.

Please join me in a moment of reflection. As a UC Berkeley child of the 60s, seeds of idealism and hope were planted within me that have guided my life's journey. But there have been times when events taking place in our world have made that hopeful inner child wonder what has happened to our collective sensibility and to human decency. There have been moments when my cherished ideals have felt severely shaken. I have worried, with so much senseless anger and violence, can humanity survive?

Is there really hope for world peace? Despair would arise when I felt helpless in the face of what seemed like overwhelming hate and cruelty. But when visited by despair, the words of one of humanity's great visionaries have always helped me to restore my focus. Mahatma Gandhi said, there is no path to peace. Peace is the path.

In other words, there is no one person or one plan that will bring about harmony and goodwill. World peace begins with me. It begins with my peace of mind. It begins with my walking my path of peace. Mahatma Gandhi reminds us that world peace begins within each of us.

Our individual ripples of sensibility and caring can positively impact those around us. When all of humanity realizes that peace begins within each of us, those 8 billion ripples can become a wave of kindness and caring that can change the world, but it begins with each and every one of us. Let us try to live with kindness and gratitude beyond words.

We ask our guests and visitors to remain standing to join us in the Flag Salute. Assembly Member Schultz will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Colleagues, please join me in placing your right hand over your heart and repeat after me. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

You may be seated. To our guests and visitors today, state law prohibits persons in the chamber from interfering with legislative proceedings or disrupting the orderly conduct of official business. Persons disrupting legislative proceedings are subject to removal, arrest, or other appropriate legal remedies. Reading of the previous days journal.

Assembly chamber, Sacramento, Thursday, May 7th, 2026. The Assembly met at 9am. The honorable Josh Lowenthal, Speaker pro Tempore of the Assembly, presiding Chief Clerk...

Majority Leader Aguiar-Curry moves and Ms. Sanchez seconds that the reading of the previous day's journal be dispensed with. Presentations of petitions, there are none. Introduction and reference of bills will be deferred. Reports of committees will be deemed read, and amendments deemed adopted. Messages from the governor, there are none.

Messages from the Senate, there are none. Moving to motions and resolutions, the absences of the day are as follows. For legislative business, Assembly Member Celeste Rodriguez. For personal business, Assembly Members Gabriel, Chen, and Arambula. And on to procedural motions. Madam Majority Leader, you're recognized for your procedural motion.

Good morning, Mr. Speaker. I request unanimous consent to suspend Assembly Rule 118A to allow Assembly Member Ávila Farías to have a guest seated at her desk today.

Without objection, such shall be the order. Okay. Members, moving on to business on the daily file. We're going to try to have a quick and efficient session today without objection. We're gonna pass and retain on the Assembly third reading files 256 through 260.

On reconsideration, we're gonna begin file items one through three. All items shall be continued on our Assembly third reading file. File items four through 431. Let's start off by passing retaining on file item four through 29. And we are going to kick off with file item number 30. That's AB 2417 by Assembly Member Zbur. The Clerk will read.

Assembly bill 2417 by Assembly member Zbur and others an act relating to community colleges.

Assembly member Zbur, you are recognized.

Yes, mister speaker, members. I rise today to present AB 2417, which helps close a vital gap for our California community college professors and staff by making sure educators get the retirement information and options they need to plan for their future. The community college system has become a critical pathway allowing Californians from all backgrounds to access higher education and economic mobility. And faculty, including part time faculty, play a critical role in educating and enriching our communities.

Part time community college faculty are often individuals who have chosen to give back to their communities by becoming educators in their local college districts, sometimes after long careers in other sectors.

These individuals may be less familiar with retirement options available to them as educators, including CalSTRS, which requires years of teaching to best, and other options like divine benefit contribution programs. While current law also allows the option of Social Security, this option is not always made clearly available and is not promoted like other retirement options.

AB 2417 ensures the option of Social Security as a retirement benefit is provided to community college faculty and also ensures that faculty, especially part time faculty, understand the benefits of selecting that retirement option. For individuals that who have elected to give back to their communities through teaching, AB 2417 provides clarity to make the best financial decisions for a secure future. This bill has no opposition and has received bipartisan support. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly members, Zbur. Debate having ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. The clerk will close the roll. Tally votes, ayes 56, no zero. The measure passes.

Assembly Bill 1579 by Assembly Member Ramos, an act relating to public social services.

Assembly Member Ramos, you are recognized.

Well, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today, I'm presenting AB 1579, which aims to expand the current Children's Crisis Pilot Program to include additional CDSS approved crisis residential models. AB 1579 seeks to expand access to flexible, functional, equivalent, and clinically appropriate residential options. This bill will ensure counties can fully utilize available funding, advance viable models, and build the crisis response system youth need today. I ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly Member Ramos. All debate having ceased, the Clerk will open the roll. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote.

Assembly Bill 2041 by Assembly Member Carrillo, an act relating to emergency medical services.

Assembly Member Carrillo, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning, Members. I rise today to present AB 2041, which will build upon existing life saving work to help Californians when they're experiencing a critical public health need. The amendments in print reflect an agreement with all opposition and state that only require public safety agencies that were not in compliance at the start of this year to report their status of compliance to the local EMS agency by January 31, 2027.

If there are any public agencies that are still not in compliance by the time this bill goes into effect, we have confirmation from the California Professional Firefighters that we will work on this effort next year. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly Member Carrillo. All debate having ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes 52, noes zero. The measure passes.

Pass and retain on file items 42 all the way through 50. File item 51 is AB 1547 by doctor Bains. This is a 54 vote bill. Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 1547 by Assembly member Bains, an act relating to the University of California, and declares the urgency to take effect immediately.

Doctor Bains, you may open on the measure.

Thank you, speaker. Members, I rise today to present AB 1547. This bill requires a feasibility study for establishing a University of California Medical School in Kern County to help address the physician shortage devastating the San Joaquin Valley. Members, the health care conditions in the valley are unacceptable for a state as wealthy as California.

The University of California itself found that the San Joaquin Valley is one of the fastest growing poorest and least healthy regions in our state, and the people suffering the most are working families, farm workers, seniors, and children who depend on medical for coverage but still face the harsh reality of having no doctor nearby.

Already, my district is feeling the effects of the federal Medi Cal cuts and the situation is only worsening. I was in clinic on Sunday and this is a very severe situation. Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, doctor Bains. All debate having ceased, the clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. It's a 54 vote bill. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes 62 no zero on the urgency. Ayes 62 no zero on the measure. The measure passes.

We'll pass and retain them file item 52. File item 53 is AB 1552 by Dr. Jackson. The Clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 1552 by Assembly Member Jackson, an act relating to public post secondary education.

Dr. Jackson, you may open on the measure.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. AB 1552 requires the public education higher education segments to report recommendations to the legislature on how to foster a greater knowledge of American democracy and meaningful civic engagement opportunities for students to ensure our graduates are prepared to assume their roles as the natural guardians of their democracy. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Dr. Jackson. All debate having ceased, Clerk will open the roll. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes 50, noes three. The measure passes. Members, we are going to go out of order. Okay.

We are going out of order. We are gonna be taking up in the Senate third reading file. Senate third reading file. This is file item 439, SB 73. Let me repeat that again. Senate third reading file, file item 439, SB 73. That is by Senator Cervantes, presented by Assembly Member Pellerin. There is an urgency clause on this. This is a 54 vote bill. The Clerk will read.

Senate Bill 73 by Senator Cervantes and others, an act relating to elections and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Assembly Member Pellerin, you are recognized.

Thank you, Speaker and Members. I rise today on behalf of Senator Cervantes to present Senate Bill 73, and I'm proud to be a principal co-author of this important measure. SB 73 is about protecting the integrity, security, and lawful administration of California elections.

As someone who served for more than 27 years as a chief elections official, I can tell you that public trust in elections depends on one fundamental principle. Ballots, voting systems, and election materials must remain secure, protected, and free from political interference.

Recent events across the country fueled in part by President Trump's continued attacks on our elections have demonstrated growing attempts to interfere with the lawful administration of voting, including efforts to seize ballots, access voting equipment, and demand voter records outside established legal processes.

Trump's reckless executive order targeting voting by mail further undermines secure and accessible elections by attacking a system that millions of Californians safely and successfully rely upon to participate in democracy. California cannot wait for a crisis before acting.

Last year, the legislature took steps to strengthen election security protections by passing Senate Bill 851. SB 73 builds on that work by reinforcing clear safeguards around ballot custody, voting systems, and voter intimidation. This bill does three important things.

First, it strengthens protections for the chain of custody of voted ballots by increasing accountability for the unlawful seizure or removal of ballots from elections officials. Second, it prohibits unauthorized access to voting systems, voting machines, or voter data without lawful judicial authorization.

And third, it gives the Secretary of State, Attorney General, and local elections officials stronger legal tools to respond quickly when election interference threatens voter confidence or election administration. Let me be clear. Election workers should never fear political intimidation for simply doing their jobs.

Voters should never wonder whether ballots were improperly handled, and law enforcement power should never be misused in ways that jeopardize the integrity of our democratic process. SB 73 helps ensure that California elections remain secure, transparent, and administered according to the rule of law.

Our democracy depends not only on the right to vote, but on the public's confidence that every lawful vote will be protected and counted fairly. That confidence must be defended. I respectfully ask for your aye vote on Senate Bill 73.

Thank you, Assembly Member Pellerin. Assembly Member DeMaio, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to SB 73. We have a problem, and that is the low level of trust and confidence in our elections. And to pretend like it's only on one side is really not reflecting reality, and it's not addressing the problem.

We need to be bipartisan in how we look at why people doubt elections, where the conspiracy theories come, where the bad actors are, and we need to work together to say there's no Democrat or Republican way to restore confidence in our elections.

When you listen to the voters, Democrat voters, Republican voters, and everyone in between, there are actually some common sense ideas on how to make sure we have appropriate transparency and accountability for holding our elections with the highest level of integrity.

This bill would undercut that. First, this bill is unconstitutional because it would interfere with the federal government's right and authority to enforce federal election law. In fact, this bill would make it a crime for local officials to coordinate and cooperate with federal investigators. The federal government has the right to enforce the Help America Vote Act, the National Voter Registration Act.

These are federal laws that the US Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled the federal government has a right to enforce under the fourteenth amendment. This bill will be thrown out in court. It puts us on a collision course with federal authorities.

This also limits what local law enforcement and local prosecutors can do if they receive a matter that they are concerned about. It would add a delay to their investigation, and therefore, a crime could potentially go unaddressed. Finally, this bill seems to suggest that only the Attorney General and the Secretary of State can be trusted to police our elections.

These are both politically elected offices. They are partisan offices currently. They will always, you know, potentially be partisan offices. But just to say one party should have the authority to authorize an investigation or and to look into matters that are of concern. No.

What do you fear if a local district attorney or a local sheriff or a local police chief get a complaint and they want to investigate it? Shouldn't we want our law enforcement agencies at the local level to also look into these issues? What do we have to fear here? This is not about trust or confidence and enhancing that. It's not about transparency or accountability.

This is about further dividing us on the issue, the important issue of the integrity of our elections. I urge a no vote. And perhaps if there are some restraints that need to be worked out, maybe the bill needs to go back through the process, and maybe we need to do this in a more bipartisan manner. Thank you.

Thank you, Assembly Member DeMaio. Assembly Member Jackson, you are recognized.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. This bill helps to make sure that people know that whenever a political office seeks to any type of investigation or any seizure of ballots, that we do a few things to make sure that people have confidence that the political process is not overtaking a democratic process. And that is one, a few things. Number one, when an investigation is taking place, we have got to make sure that people who handle the ballots are people who are trained on the proper way to handle ballots.

Not just grabbing boxes and putting them into rooms and closets and other places, but to make sure that an investigation can happen. But let's make sure that we keep the ballots where they're supposed to be and a place that was designed for ballots to be.

Number two, how do we make sure that if one office says there needs to be an investigation, but others say no, a proper investigation has already happened and we have found nothing that is wrong, then the disagreement can be handled before ballots are being touched.

And then third, how do we make sure that someone who is a sheriff who is running for governor of California does not engage in the seizure of ballots in order to continue a political agenda. Now those who have actually read what had happened in Riverside County will know that those who actually worked and did an initial investigation in the sheriff department already found out that there was nothing there.

But because of a radical elections official in Shasta County wanted to continue this absurd story that, yes, ballots were improperly counted, when everyone else, including the board of supervisors, including the board of supervisors, found that there was nothing there. So at the end of the day, what happened in Riverside County cannot happen again.

Because yes, there are, the public is not comfortable and is, and is concerned that politics is happening, is occurring in the electoral process. So with that, when we see smoke, we gotta deal with it. And this bill helps us to do so. Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Dr. Jackson. Assembly Member Berman, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wanna thank my colleague from Santa Cruz for presenting this bill. Thank my colleague from Riverside for speaking in support of the bill. Thank the Senator for introducing the bill, and just address a little bit some of the comments that were made by my colleague from San Diego. My colleague from San Diego likes to talk a lot about how voters have lost faith in our democracy, but I haven't heard him talk about why that's the case.

And so I think it's important for everyone to remind ourselves that voters lose faith in democracy when presidents lie about the faith of our elections. Voters lose faith in our democracy when presidents call up elections officials in states like Georgia and say, just find me 10,000 more votes.

Just find me 12,000 more votes. That causes voters to lose faith in their democracy. Voters lose faith in their democracy when presidents like Donald Trump say, I would have won the state of California if it weren't for the fraud in the state of California.

Now let's remember that President Trump lost the vote by over 3 million votes. So President Trump is claiming over and over again that there were 3 million instances of voter fraud in California. And what do we hear from elected officials from the president's party? Crickets. We hear nothing.

We hear no defense of our democracy. We hear no defense of our elections officials that are working their tails off to try to do the hard work that makes our democracy as strong as it is. We hear silence. We hear cowardice. That is why voters have lost faith in their democracy is because elected officials aren't willing to stand up to leaders in their own party to correct the lies that are being said over and over and over again.

But what we do here is that their solution is to make it harder for people to vote. Their solution is to decrease the transparency in our elections. The solution is to back up sheriffs from Riverside County that wanna treat our democracy like a political pinata for their own personal objectives. And I find that to be shameful. I find it to be shameful that good elected officials who I know have the goodness in their heart and care about our democracy and do the right thing.

Excuse me, Mr. Berman. State your point of order, Mr. Gonzalez.

If my colleague could stick to the merits of this and not impugn the integrity of the brave men and women of the Riverside Sheriffs.

Okay. Okay. Okay. The point of order is a transgression of the rules. When you're stating a point of order, it's not about impugning sheriffs. It's about transgression of the rules. Your point is well taken. Please stay with the merits of this bill, Mr. Berman.

Absolutely. I found it to be... Personally, I found it to be shameful that not the good people of the Riverside County Sheriff's Office, but the Riverside Sheriff himself wanted to engage on a political escapade that he knew had no merits at all, but might help him get the attention of the president of the United States to get the president's endorsement in his run for governor. Let's call a spade a spade.

But the impact of that is the damage on our democracy. The impact of that is that voters lose faith in our democracy. And that is what this bill is trying to address. This bill is trying to address these really grievous instances of politicization of our democracy. So I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 73.

Thank you, Assembly Member Berman. Assembly Member Tangipa, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And today, I rise in quick opposition to this bill. Mainly because just this Monday, the Department of Justice entered into a plea agreement with a woman who plead guilty to illegally registering people to vote. We know today that there are over 200 counties across the state or the United States that have bloated voter rolls. More people registered than they have eligible voting age adults.

We know that 31 states also have bloated voter rolls. This is what's undermining the confidence in our elections. And I actually agree with the author or the presenter of the bill that we should do and work together to find out ways to bring back confidence in our elections. I actually asked the Member from Menlo to work together.

I'll work together with anybody that can actually add the confidence back to the individuals. Because when we read articles that say that somebody has entered a plea agreement, a guilty charge for registering homeless people in Skid Row, you don't think that we're gonna have confidence issues in our elections? And so I would ask this body to work together in a bipartisan fashion, not present a bill that actually impedes local peace officers and individuals that just want to investigate. All they want to do is investigate.

We should be more transparent in our investigation, especially when the data tells us that there are bloated voter rolls, especially when we see plea agreements of individuals here in the state of California say they are guilty for doing exactly what we are talking about, and we shouldn't be demonized for that. And for those reasons, I simply ask for a no vote.

Thank you. Assembly Member Tangipa. Assembly Member Addis, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise with brief comments as well. And as a proud co-author of SB 73, I'm a co-author for a very simple and real reason, and that is that the threats to our democracy are truly imminent and SB 73 will help address these threats. This is even more urgent right now within weeks of our statewide election. Disturbingly, our president has suggested that he should have seized voting machines after the 2020 election.

He has seized ballots and voting rosters from election offices in Georgia and Arizona, has sued our very own Secretary of State to get access to our voter rolls, and is right now trying to curtail the right to vote by mail that nearly 90% of Californians use. And he and his allies and leaders in the Department of Homeland Security are declaring that federal agents will be sent to the polls to try to influence the results of the midterm elections.

So we know that these are clear attempts to to upend our elections here in California and across the United States, and SB 73 will address this. It's my belief as a co-author that state law must deliver on the promise of free and fair elections to create a healthy democracy, and we can do that today with your aye vote. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Assembly Member Addis. Assembly Member Bennett, you are recognized.

The sanctity of the ballots is what is critical here. If there is ever an investigation that needs to take place, that investigation must take into consideration the sanctity of the ballots, and that did not happen in this situation. This bill is a good step in trying to ensure that the sanctity of the ballots is protected. Thank you very much. I strongly urge an aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly Member Bennett. Okay. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assembly Member Pellerin, do you wish to close?

Yes. Thank you very much. I wanna thank my colleagues from Riverside, Menlo Park, Morro Bay, and Santa Barbara for their compelling testimony why this bill is so important. I respectfully ask for your aye vote on this election protection measure. And on behalf of Senator Cervantes, I respectfully request instant transmittal to the Senate. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Assembly Member Pellerin. All debate having ceased, Clerk will open the roll. Members, this is a 54 vote bill. All Members vote who desire to vote. All Members vote who desire to vote.

Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Eyes 54, nose 16 on the urgency. Eyes 54, noes 16 on the measure. The measure passes with immediate without objection, immediate transmittal to the Senate. We're gonna go back to our assembly through reading file folks.

Next up in the queue is file item 54, that's AB 1554 by Assemblymember Calderon. The clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1554 by Assemblymember Calderon and accolades of insurance.

Assemblymember Calderon, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. AB 1554 increases transparency by requiring the California Earthquake Authority to post its annual report about its operation on the CEA's Internet website, as well as provide the report to the assembly and Senate insurance committees. This bill also directs the insurance commissioner to convene a working group by 01/01/2028 to incorporate hazard mitigation projects into its recommendations. I respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you. Assemblymember Calderon. All debate have been ceased. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote.

All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. Clerk will close the roll, tally votes, ayes 57, noes one, the measure passes. Passer in tandem file lines 55, 56, 57, file line 58. That's AB 1584 by doctor Jackson.

AB1584 by assembly member Jackson and I believe it's AR Resources.

The clerk will read.

Doctor Jackson, you may open on the measure.

Thank you very much, Mister Chair. Proud to present AB1584, which would codify and specify duties of the office of civil rights and the California Air Resources Board. Under AB1584, the office of civil rights would be tasked with developing civil rights evaluation tool to assist the board in understanding and accomplishing civil rights requirements.

This Bill also ensures that the public has access to translation services and culturally appropriate outreach to ensure all Californians can participate in hearings and rule makings that affect their communities. This office would additionally be required to post on his website an annual summary of civil rights complaints and a description of compliance and enforcement efforts the office took to resolve each complaint.

Respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly member Jackson. All debate have a cease. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

All members vote who desire to vote. The clerk will close the roll tally votes. Ayes 43, no 17. The measure passes. We're gonna pass through in tandem file items 59 and 60.

File item 61 is AB 1592 by Assemblymember Ramos. Clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1592 by Assemblymember Ramos and others in appletting the state parks.

Assembly member Ramos, you are recognized.

Well, thank you, mister speaker. Today, I rise for AB 1592 that would authorize the Department of Parks and Recreation to enter into an operating agreement with a support organization to help further the development of the long awaited California Indian Cultural Center. For years, California tribes along with the state and local partners have worked tirelessly to develop a world class cultural facility that honors the true history and living cultures of California's first people.

AB 1592 will help pave the way for this center to become a reality and ensure that California delivers on its commitment to create space for all California's first people to gather and celebrate their history and culture. I ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Ramos. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes sixty three, noes zero. The measure passes. Pass and retain on file item 62, 63, 64. File item 65 is AB 1629 by Assemblymember Haney.

The clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1629 by Assemblymember Haney and ... relating to health care coverage.

Assembly member Haney, you may open on the measure.

Thank you, speaker and members. AB 1629 will prevent insurers from shifting financial burdens onto patients by requiring dental plans to send payments directly to dentists, rather than forcing patients to cover large upfront costs. Every month, millions of Californians pay for dental insurance, but still struggle to access the care they're entitled to. Many families are forced to travel long distances for treatment or pay high out of pocket costs just to receive basic dental care.

Too often, patients must pay the full cost of treatment upfront and then wait to be reimbursed by their insurer, forcing families to choose between taking on thousands of dollars in costs or delaying necessary care.

AB 1629 addresses the problem by requiring dental plans to honor assignment of benefits requests and send payments directly to dentists. It will help prevent families from facing significant upfront costs while waiting for reimbursement and make dental care more accessible and affordable for Californians. thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Haney. All debate having ceased, Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes ayes 52, noes zero, the measure passes. We'll pass and retain on 67, six 66, 67, 68, 69. File item 70 is AB 1645 by Assembly member Mark Gonzales. Our majority whip, the clerk will read.

AB1645 by Assembly member Mark Gonzales and others in accurately in the corrections.

Mister Gonzales, you may open on the measure.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I'm honored to present AB1645, the Humanizing Unifying Generation Safety Act or the HUGS Act, which establishes physical contact guidelines for the state prison visitation. I'd like to thank my colleague from Culver City for working with me directly on this Bill. Currently, anything from hugs, kisses, and leaning on one another is penalized as excessive contact. Families of incarcerated folks are getting punished and losing their visitation rights simply over hugs.

As a result, children are held back from their parents, crying, wondering why their mom or dad can't simply hold them. That is what my Bill solves. AB1645 clearly outlines the physical behaviors that are allowed so folks can reunite with their loved ones wholeheartedly and without fear. It's time to recognize that system impact of folks are people too. They deserve a hug just like you, just like me.

Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assembly member Gonzalez. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

The clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Aye 16, no's 2, the measure passes. We're gonna pass and retain on file items 71 through 79. Let's take it down, everybody. Let's take it down.

File item 80 is AB 1688 by Assembly member Carrillo. The clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1688 by Assemblymember Carrillo and others in the child abuse or neglect.

Members, please give your respectful attention to the authors. Assemblymember Carrillo, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. Good morning, members. I rise to present assembly bill 1688. AB 1688 is a measure that will provide a greater degree of transparency and accountability for attorneys and guardians of dependents in the California Fostering Care System. As it stands, there is no legal requirement to provide notice to the parents or attorneys of other children in the same placement that their client or child has been housed in a foster location where abuse has occurred.

And due to this, too many children are falling through the cracks of our state's foster system because of this oversight in the child welfare reporting process. This is a bipartisan bill and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Carrillo. All debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Clerk will close the roll, tally votes, ayes 62, noes zero. The measure passes. File item 81 is AB 1699 by Assemblymember Rogers. The member without the trophy on his desk today. Assemblymember, the clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1699 by Assemblymember Rogers and others in act living a wild wildfire and making an appropriation, therefore.

Assemblymember Rogers, you are you are recognized.

Thank you so much, mister speaker. Colleagues, for generations, California's first people used fire for cultural purposes and to steward their land. Unfortunately, in California's first legislative session, they outlawed this practice. A good reminder for all of us that the decisions we make on this floor can have incredible ramifications a hundred and seventy five years from now. AB 91699, the Good Fire Act, will codify recent executive orders around prescribed burns.

It will extend a sunset on the liability fund that has never been touched, and it'll make it easier to reintroduce cultural burns, indigenous knowledge, and prescribed burns into our communities for wildfire defense. Simply put, we're going to use good fire to have less bad fire, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, assembly member Rogers. Members, this is a 54 vote bill. Okay. But it's a 54 vote bill. It's alright.

So by member Hadwick, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. Today, I rise as a proud principal coauthor in support of a Sibley Bill 1699 brought forward by my colleague from Santa Rosa. This bill recognizes what we have long ignored. Native Americans have been managing our forests with fire for thousands of years. AB 1699 returns good fire to our landscapes, restoring tribal practices, reducing hazardous fuels, and protecting fire threatened communities.

I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Hadwick. Assemblymember Demaio, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. I rise in strong support of AB 1699, and I just would like to put on our radar the need for us to reign in the California Air Resources Board. This bill obviously deals with a portion of, prescribed burns for fuel containment, but we really do have an out of control agency in CARB when it comes to wildland fire.

We need to make sure that we send a strong bipartisan message that public safety, reducing risk, should be prioritized and that the CARB board regulations are overly restrictive of our fire districts. It's something that we have an opportunity to work on.

I appreciate the member from Santa Rosa for his leadership on this issue.

Thank you, Assemblymember Demaio. Assemblymember Tangipa, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. I just to rise, in support of both of my colleagues. I really appreciate this bill as we represent more than one third of the entire state's land mass. So I wanted to make sure, again, I rise in support for that as as we worry about fire every single year, and that worry is coming back again.

But we have forgotten that fire is a natural portion of our element, that we need to make sure that we're implementing that again to make sure that we're avoiding some of the largest fires that are right in our backyard.

So just wanted to rise and support and respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Tangipa. Seeing and hearing no further debate, excuse me, mister Lee. Assemblymember Rogers, do you wish to close?

I just wanna thank my colleagues for their comments and then respectfully ask for an aye vote.

File item 86, AB 1738 by Assemblymember Carrillo. The clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1738 by Assemblymember Carrillo and others, ... in housing.

Assemblymember Carrillo, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. Today, I am presenting AB 1738, which requires jurisdictions to offer a virtual option for nine simple inspections for single family homes. Members, before I was your colleague, I was an urban planner, and I would conduct final inspections and saw firsthand how much of a backlog my building department colleagues face.

This backlog further exacerbates the housing crisis as building departments juggle the multiple inspections required for new housing projects with having to also travel to perform on-site inspections for routine home renovations. What would be a straightforward step in process instead becomes a prolonged and unpredictable wait, illustrating how inspection backlogs can place added financial and logistical strain on California families.

AB 1738 looks to address this issue and help alleviate the housing crisis by requiring remote virtual inspections for simple home renovations. Requiring remote virtual inspections for simple renovations would speed up the process for the homeowners and the building department, allowing homeowners quicker inspections and for building officials to focus on permitting more complex projects faster. We're working with a position as I respectfully ask for an aye vote. Thank you, members. I respectfully ask for an aye vote on AB 1738.

Thank you, Assemblymember Carrillo. Assemblymember Quirk-Silva, you are recognized.

Thank you, mister speaker. Mister speaker, I rise in strong support of AB 1738. And all the bills that are moving forward on this floor, sometimes bills like this get lost as they're a quiet bill. But this is actually a big bill in the sense that we have many times asked to streamline in housing, and this would offer the opportunity for remote inspections. I too sat at the local government level where we saw a backlog.

And this is what our individuals in our cities are asking for. Matter of fact, I like this bill so much in this housing session. It was awarded, a housing award by Quirk-Silva because I've now established my own housing award. So this is one of our first bills that has been announced. There are more to come, members.

But with that, I ask for your vote for AB 1738.

Thank you. Assemblymember Quirk-Silva. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Carrillo, do you wish to close?

Thank you, mister speaker. I wanna thank the, of the, colleague from, Fullerton who is also a true champion on housing issues that we're facing and it comes up with solutions. Thank you. And with that, I respect for as for an aye vote.

AB1741 by Assembly member Pacheco, an act relating to crimes.

Assembly member Pacheco, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. Today, I rise to present AB1741, which addresses a gap in state law to ensure that sexual battery committed during a residential break in may be prosecuted appropriately. Under current law, felony sexual battery committed during a home invasion is generally limited to cases involving unlawful restraint or victims under the age of 15.

As a result, a person who breaks into a home and sexually touches a sleeping victim with no intent to steal or commit another felony may face only misdemeanor charges. AB1741 ensures that California law recognizes the gravity of this crime by allowing it to be charged as a wobbler, meaning a misdemeanor or a felony.

This Bill closes a loophole and gives prosecutors and courts the discretion to match the legal response to the facts of the case. This Bill has received unanimous support, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly member Pacheco, all debate happens. Cease clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker and members. In 2022, the legislature passed legislation that directed the PUC to establish a new community solar and storage program if it benefits all rate payers, compensating projects based on the full value of distributed energy resources. In the ensuing proceeding, the PUC adopted the community renewable energy program, but unfortunately, this decision contains serious flaws that ultimately rendered the program unworkable and will lead to no new projects being built.

AB 1813 makes needed changes to the community renewable energy program to ensure that California has a robust community renewable program that expands access, access to solar to all Californians, while providing a valuable tool for achieving the state's ambitious energy efficiency and climate change goals, all while creating high quality and competitive jobs.

One, strengthen enforcement against repeat offenders by creating a new category of organized metal theft, giving prosecutors enhanced tools to tackle coordinated on repeated crimes, much like our retail theft laws.

File item 144 is AB2122 by Assembly member Kalra. Clerk will read.

AB2122 by Assembly member Kalra and others inaccollating the crimes.

Assembly member Kalra, you are recognized.

Morning, Mister speaker. AB2122 prohibits issuance of a bench warrant if the underlying offense of vehicle code infraction and for non vehicle code infractions allows for a noncustodial warrant to be issued. California courts process over 3,000,000 infractions each year. These minor offenses include traffic violations that are punishable by a fine and do not require a court appearance if the ticket is paid.

If a person fails to appear in court or pay a citation, a bench warrant for arrest can be issued effectively converting an otherwise nonjailable offense into incarceration.

Research has shown that alternatives such as improved notices and reminders are more effective than warrants at generating timely court appearances and ensuring payments are actually made, which is the end goal of an infraction. Additionally, at least 12 counties have reportedly already stopped issuing bench warrants and infraction cases without evidence of reductions in collections or compliance. Amendments taken through the policy committee process have removed opposition from the California District Attorneys Association.

AB2122 strikes an appropriate balance preserving accountability measures while also ensuring that people are not needlessly incarcerated for non jailable infractions simply because they cannot afford a fine. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly member Kalra, all debate having ceased, clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

AB2235 by Assembly member Pacheco and others, and act like the confidentiality.

Assembly member Pacheco, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. Today, I rise to present AB2235. Violence and threats against judges continue to rise with thousands of incidents reported in recent years and a significant increase since 2015. As a result, many judges and their families fear for their safety. Judges' home addresses remains easily accessible through public records and online databases, creating a direct pathway for bad actors to locate them and their families.

Existing privacy protection in California are insufficient to prevent the widespread dissemination of this sensitive information, particularly when it originates from government sources. AB2235, the Judicial Home Security Act allows judges to use an alternate mailing address in public records while preserving legitimate access for business, legal, and law enforcement purposes. Striking a careful balance between transparency and safety, ensuring public records remain functional without compromising personal security.

Given escalating threats and vulnerabilities, AB2235 is a necessary and measured step to protect the judiciary and uphold the integrity of the justice system. AB2235 has received unanimous bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for your aye vote.
