Assembly Floor

The Assembly is now in session. Mister Lowenthal notices the absence of a quorum. The sergeant at arms will be at the chamber in bring in the absent members. The clerk will call the roll.

[Roll Call]

Members, the 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. Please stand for today's prayer. Reverend Nosta will offer today's prayer. Reverend Oshita.

Please join me in a moment of reflection. In our many years together, Bob and I have found that traveling naturally takes us out of our comfort zone, and opens us up to experiencing things that are new and different, meeting new people and tasting new flavors. A few years ago, we took a trip to Banff, Canada. It was a place I long wanted to visit. We left 90 degrees Sacramento, and we were greeted by the snow flurries in the mile high town, nestled in the Canadian Rockies.

The amazing view of the trees and mountains surrounding us, all dusted with snow was breathtaking. And although it was 22 degrees, the kind and thoughtful spirit of people there warmed our hearts and made us feel as if we were being welcomed home. Soon after checking in, management called, thoughtfully asking if we were pleased with our accommodations, and if we needed anything more. That was a first for us.

When we ventured into the immaculate town of Banff again and again, we were the recipients of unexpected kindnesses.

Unfamiliar with all the all way crossing intersections, one kind stranger literally pulled Bob's arm back, preventing him from stepping out in front of a car, turning the corner. We felt as if the people of Banff were all ambassadors of caring and kindness, and they represented their town and all of Canada so very well. It was a trip that we enjoyed so much that we still talk about returning.

As Bob and I have said to each other before, whenever we have encountered the kindness of strangers, a part of us feels, I could live here. And it's true.

It's easy to live wherever there is kindness. All of us, we too are ambassadors on our on many levels. Our words and our actions, especially towards strangers, will be a reflection on our families, our communities, our legislature, our amazing state of California, and on our country. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all became ambassadors of warm hearted kindness? Living as ambassadors of kindness would help to make our world the very best place to live.

Namwami Damasu, let us live with kindness and gratitude beyond words.

We ask our guests and visitors to remain standing and join us in the flag salute. Assembly member Petrie Norris will lead us in the pledge of allegiance.

Members, as we celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, please join me in the pledge of allegiance. Place your right hand on your heart. I pledge allegiance to the flag.

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. Official business.

That is SB762. File item 96. SB762, this is by Senator Arguin, presented by Assembly member Hart. Members, this is a 54 vote bill. The clerk will read.

File item 96, SB 762.

Senate Bill 7 Senate Bill 762 by some by Senator Eric Green, inaccurately into taxation and declaring the urgency thereof to take effect immediately.

Thank you, Madam Reading Clerk. Members, this is a 54 vote bill. Assembly Member Hart, you may open.

Thank you, Mister Speaker and Members. I rise to present SB 762 on behalf of Senators Arreguin and Laird. SB 762 responds to the growing fiscal pressures facing local governments across California, including Santa Cruz County, Santa Barbara County, the cities of Carpinteria, Santa Maria, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Hercules, and San Pablo. These fiscal pressures are driven by the rising cost of health care and public safety, as well as the need to maintain and modernize aging infrastructure.

Due to their legal mandate to administer social programs, California counties are faced with the difficult decisions of diverting money away from other public services to find ways to stretch general funds to cover the gaps.

Despite these efforts, fiscal challenges persist. To address these fiscal needs, SB 762 establishes a limited process that authorizes eligible local governments to seek voter approval for transactions and use tax rates above the statutory cap. I wanna emphasize that seven sixty two does not impose any tax increase, rather it gives voters the choice to decide whether additional revenue tools are appropriate for their communities.

Thank you, and I respectfully ask for your Aye vote on SB 762, and ask for immediate transmittal to the Senate.

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

Decorum, please. Assembly Member Nguyen, you are recognized for your guest introduction.

Thank you, Mister Speaker and Members. Most of us do this in our district. We run a legislator program, a young Assembly Member program. And this is my third year doing the young Assembly Member program. I had hundreds of applications come across, but only 22 were selected.

Only 22. We actually cut it at 20, but we had such stellar and amazing applicants that we pushed it to 22. And they are here with us today. Today is their first day. I know it's our last day, but we made sure that they made it here today just so that they had an opportunity to see a floor session and so that they can meet all of you.

So please help me in welcoming this year's young Assembly Member participants for District 10.

Welcome. Okay, everybody. Remain standing if you wish to run for the Assembly one day. Alright. Okay.

Clerk will close the roll, tally the votes. Ayes 43, Noes 15. The rules are suspended without reference to file. Assembly Bill 126 by Assemblymember Gabriel. The clerk will read.

Assembly Bill 126 by the committee on budget relative to education finance and making an appropriation therefore to take it picked immediately, bill related to the budget.

Assemblymember Gabriel, you are recognized.

Booker Tov, Mister Speaker. I rise today to present AB 126, our education omnibus trailer bill. I wanna thank, our colleague from San Diego for his hard work. This bill represents a historic level of investment in our TK through grade 12 schools, including a record $28,000 per pupil in spending a super cola of funding for local school districts, up to fourteen weeks of paid pregnancy leave, a for our educators, a ground graping commitment.

And I wanna thank our majority leader for her work on that.

Over 1,000,000,000 in ongoing community schools funding, 2,400,000,000 for special education, and a commitment to prioritize paying our proposition 98 guarantee. For that reason, respectfully request your Aye vote on AB 126.

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

Thank you, Mister Speaker. Education is the great equalizer. At the son of an immigrant who grew up in poverty, I know firsthand the life threatening the life changing impact of great teachers in a supportive school district. I know what it means when a school believes in a student, challenges them, and gives them the tools to succeed.

And as the first charter school graduate elected to the state legislature, I can also say very clearly, I would not be standing here today without specialized education and the opportunity that school provided me.

This is why I am supportive of many of the programs in this bill. Some of them produce real results for students, not just line items in a budget. But I cannot support the unnecessary singling out of charter schools in a budget bill. That kind of policy change deserves a full hearing, not a real debate in the scrutiny of the policy committee process. It should not be tucked away into a budget bill.

And finally, at a time when fewer than half of California students can read or do math at grade level, this budget continues to spend more on services for the citizens of other countries than the students that we have falling behind in this state. Before we try to help everyone else, and we have to make sure that we are fulfilling our basic responsibility to the children of the state, because if we fail them, we fail California's future.

For those reasons, I respectfully ask for an abstention from this bill. We should debate the policy changes that are happening to the charter schools in public, in the committee process. We should not be tucking away policy changes in a budget bill.

Thank you.

Thank you, Assemblymember Tangipa. Seeing and hearing no further debate, wish to close, does not wish to close. 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 vote tally the votes close the roll. Ayes 56, Noes 1. Senate amendments are concurred in.

Okay, Mister Connolly, we're ready. Going back, a little bit of whiplash here. Sorry, Mister Connolly. Back to our guest introductions. You are recognized for your guest introduction.

Joining us in the gallery is my wonderful district team, district director Melissa Apuya, two field representatives Johanna James and Yesenia Resendiz. And along with them are three newest interns, Nico Bleu Less, Arlo Greer, and Ananda Dole Argywal. We're excited to have these talented interns on board this summer and appreciate their willingness to serve our community.

Assemblymember Rodriguez? Members, can you please direct your attention to Assemblymember Rodriguez for her guest introduction? Assemblymember Rodriguez, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker and members, for allowing me to introduce this very important guest. Please join me in welcoming my youngest grandson, Tanner, to the Assembly floor. I'm incredibly proud of my family and especially proud to have Tanner here with me today. Tanner is five years old, full of energy, and already has big love for baseball. He's a proud Dodger fan and a proud Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan.

I'm very happy. He makes us he makes us very happy as grandparents. It means a great deal to be able to share this moment with him and give him the opportunity to experience state government firsthand. Tanner, I'm so proud of you, and I'm grateful to have you here with me today. Members, please join me in giving my grandson, Tanner, a welcome to the Assembly floor.

Okay, Mister Ward. I see one of the fellows in my office in the rear of the chamber, which means it's time for your guest introduction, sir.

That fellow and more, Mister Speaker. Members, please join me in providing a warm welcome to two incredible cohorts of LGBTQ young leaders, the Capital LGBTQ Association's inaugural fellows and the Equality California Comcast fellowship. Now many of you may or may not know that we have an a really amazing group of LGBTQ staffers and capital community members as well. It is a growing body right now, and I am so proud of how much they have been able to grow in their membership, but now their impact.

So for the very first year, they were able to raise funds to be able to support their own fellowship.

CQA is hosting an eleven week program to provide institutional experience to LGBTQ college students and recent graduates who were interested in learning about and contributing to the California State Legislature. So this year's inaugural fellows for the CQA fellowship are Armita Gajaraj Gajarajami Hami, and, River Baker. Armita was placed with our colleague from South Central Los Angeles, and River was placed with our colleague from Linwood.

And additionally, in partnership with Bacallity California, the EQCA Comcast Fellowship is a similar five week long program that includes these incredible leaders. You should welcome Dolce Lopez who was placed for LGBTQ caucus vice Chair, Senator Cervantes, Cesar Calderon placed with our colleague from Pasadena, Jasmine Cardenas placed with Senator Caroline Menjivar, Christopher Espino placed with our speaker pro tem and colleague from Long Beach, and Fatima Vargas placed with Senator Lola Small with Cuevas.

And lastly, but most certainly not least, Scarlett Winterholm placed with our colleague from Morro Bay. Both the CQA and EQCA fellows are placed in various legislative offices where they on the job training in an effort to educate them on the complexities of a career as legislative staff and offer a pathway to employment. As our legislative body grows in diversity, it's also imperative that our staff reflects the diversity of all of our constituents.

As Chair of the California legislative LGBTQ caucus, I commend these young professionals for their participation in the remarkable professional development programs. Thank you, Mister Speaker and Members.

Please join me in welcoming them to the California State Assembly.

Welcome. Thank you for your work. Thank you.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. I rise to on concurrence, Assembly Bill 35. So I won't go into all the details. I wanna thank the problem solvers caucus who were first to join coop of this, but we definitely have many, many over one quarter of the legislature on a bipartisan basis who are coauthoring. We have over a 100 organizations from across the state in support.

We have zero opposition. AB 35 honors a promise we made to voters when they passed proposition four to get funds used quickly for all of our different environmental programs that we we, feel so strongly about, provides a narrow exemption to APA, which would help reduce the delay of implementing all of these important programs by anywhere from nine to eighteen months, projects that are very important to all of our communities. Respectfully request your Aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly member Alvarez. Assembly member Hadwick, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. Today, I rise as a proud principal co author for AB 35. My communities are constantly under threat for wildfire, and this bill will fast track some of that fire prevention projects and remove hazardous fuels in our forest neighborhoods. Further delay due to bureaucratic processes means higher costs because of inflation and my residents waiting longer for urgently needed projects. I've members, I respectfully ask for your Aye vote and happy to support the author.

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

Thank you, Mister Speaker. I rise today in strong support of AB 35 by the Assemblymember from San Diego. As a fellow co Chair of the California Problem Solvers Caucus, I am especially proud to support this bill because it is one of our twenty twenty six caucus priority measures. It reflects exactly what our caucus was created to do, bring Republicans and Democrats together to advance practical, bipartisan solutions that deliver real results for Californians.

AB 35 helps accelerate the delivery of voter approved investments that make our community safer, strengthens our economy, and better prepares California for future challenges.

I respectfully ask for your Aye vote on this bipartisan California problem solvers caucus priority. Thank you.

Thank you. Assembly Member Alanis. Assembly Member Jeff Gonzalez, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. I rise in proud support as a coauthor and a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus. This is exactly what we were formed to do as my colleague said. So we come together, united as Problem Solvers members to continue trying to tackle some of the toughest problems in California. With that, I rise in support and ask my colleagues to do the same.

Thank you. Assembly Member Gonzales. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assembly Member Alvarez, do you wish to close?

Yes. Thank you. Again, thank you to all who spoke in support. This is about fast tracking important projects. You heard about wildfire, but it's also water projects and many other environmental priorities that we have in the state of California.

We thank the voters for approving proposition four that allows us to do this. And now with this bill, which takes effect immediately, with an urgency clause, we can get some of these funds out into our communities. Again, respect for your request, your Aye vote. Thank you very much.

The first adjournment in memory, I'm gonna ask for a decorum. Assembly Member Lackey, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory. Please take all conversations.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. Today, we gather with heavy arts to honor the eight lives lost in the tragic b 52 test flight crash at Edwards Air Force Base. Colonel Gregory Watson, lieutenant colonel Gabriel Estrella, retired lieutenant colonel Miles Middleton, major Alexander Davis, major Robert D, major Brad Hopey, Jeremy Smith, and Christopher Rister. These are not just service members, engineers, and aviation professionals. They were husbands, fathers, sons, friends, mentors, and teammates whose lives touched countless others.

Their mission reflected a commitment shared by generations of military and civilian professionals, advancing aviation, strengthening our nation's defense, and accepting extraordinary responsibility and service to something greater than themselves. Every flight test carries risk, and they accepted that responsibility with courage and dedication. As we remember them, our thoughts are first with their families, the loved ones whose lives have been forever changed. We also stand with their fellow airmen, civilian teammates, and the entire Edwards Air Force Base community as they also grieve this profound loss.

This tragedy reminds us that behind every aircraft, every mission, and every technological advancement are people whose skill, sacrifice, and commitment make progress possible.

Their work often takes place out of public view, but its impact is felt across our armed forces and our nation. To their families, your loved ones will not be forgotten. Their names, their service, and their sacrifice will remain part of the proud history of Edwards Air Force Base, the United States Air Force. May we honor them by carrying forward the values they exemplified, which are courage and service to one another.

Members, once again, let's observe a moment of silence for the lives lost at Edwards Air Force Base. We shall continue with our adjournments in memory. The quorum call is lifted. Thank you, Members. We must continue on.

Thank you, Members. Please take conversations off the floor. Please take conversations off the floor, members. Assembly Member Rubio, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mister Speaker and Members. Today, I rise to adjourn in the memory of Lloyd Johnson. The West Covina community is mourning the loss of former mayor and City Council member Lloyd Johnson, a dedicated public servant, decorated veteran, and tireless community volunteer whose life was defined by service to others. Lloyd was widely respected as one of West Covina's most devoted advocates.

Throughout his years of public service, both as a city council member and mayor, he worked diligently to strengthen the community and improve the lives of its residents.

Beyond elected office, Lloyd was deeply involved in volunteer efforts across the city, supporting neighborhood beautification projects, veteran related causes, charitable events, and community initiatives. A proud marine who was wounded in combat while serving in Vietnam, Lloyd was awarded the purple heart for his for his courage and sacrifice. After returning home, he built a successful career as an iron worker, overcame cancer with remarkable resilience, and continued to devote himself to honoring those who served our nation.

Many throughout the region came to recognize Lloyd through his beautiful beautifully restored 1956 Chevrolet transformed into a moving tribute to America's veterans and fallen heroes. Displaying American and Marine Corps flags and featuring personalized memorial honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice, the vehicle served as a powerful reminder of the cost of freedom.

Simple but heartfelt reminder. The best thing you can do for a veteran is to go up and say thank you for your service. Lloyd leaves behind the legacy of patriotism, integrity, compassionate leadership, and selfless service. His unwavering dedication to the people of West Covina strengthened our community and enriched the lives of countless residents. His contributions will continue to inspire future generations, and he will be remembered as a true public servant whose commitment to others made a profound and lasting difference.

Members, I ask that you join me in adjourning in the memory of Lloyd Johnson. Thank you.

Thank you, Assemblymember Rubio. Doctor Sharp-Collins, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mister Speaker and Mmbers. Today, I rise to honor the life and service of San Diego civil rights icon, Harold Brown, also known as Hal. On his 90 birthday, Harold Brown passed away, but the legacy he left will be remembered forever. Doctor Brown became a legend even before the civil rights movement.

Born in segregated York, Pennsylvania, he moved to San Diego in 1953 where he earned his bachelor's degree from San Diego State University while being a store basketball player following serving two years in the United States Army.

While at the university, he cofounded San Diego's Congress of Racial Equity core and became involved with the movement to integrate the city's residential neighborhoods in the early nineteen sixties. The neighborhoods of El Cajon and La Mesa, which I currently represent. What began as an opportunity to play college basketball would eventually turn into a career fighting against segregation and policies that made it harder for black people to secure housing and land jobs.

He led protests, pickets, marches, sit ins against big companies like the Bank of America, San Diego Gas and Electric, and the San Diego Zoo, companies that he identified as not wanting to hire black people. He eventually earned a master's of business administration from Fordham University and began a financial career in New York, laying a foundation for what would become his lifelong mission to build black wealth.

Doctor Brown would later return to the university, meaning San Diego State as the first black administrator when he took a position in SDSU's department of academic affairs. One year later, based on student protests, he established the department of Afro American studies, which is now known as the Department of Africana Studies at San Diego State University. It is important to note that his very first hire was one of our former colleagues who was now secretary of State, doctor Shirley Weber.

Over the next two decades, doctor Brown went on to serve in various leadership roles at the university. He taught faculty how to navigate both campus and local politics.

This includes establishing the center for community economic development at the business school where he worked with local leaders to extend housing and employment resources to underserved communities. He served as the executive director of self help through providing neighborhood leadership, working to revitalize historically redlined areas in Southern San Diego, well, Southeastern San Diego. He also worked alongside the end of the NAACP to get San Diego City Council Elections to a district based system putting more power in black voters' hands.

Brown later retired from San Diego State in 1997. But in in 2017, the university awarded him an honorary doctorate.

Doctor Brown's legacy endures in the community he served in amongst all SDSU students through the Harold Brown the Harold K Brown knowledge education and empowerment program, which is an initiative that supports the understanding of the history, the importance of education, and economic system of those within the black community.

I have to say that as a Africana studies graduate from San Diego State and a former adjunct professor in the department of Africana studies and a resident of Southeastern San Diego, I know for a fact that my community and city is much better served thanks to doctor Brown. May he rest in peace, and may his memory continue to guide and inspire us in our fight to achieve a more and just world. Thank you.

Thank you, doctor Sharp-Collins. Assemblymember Muratsuchi, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mister Speaker. I rise to ask that the Assembly, adjourn in memory of Kyoko Nancy Oda. Born to Tatsuo and Yuriko Inouye in the Tule Lake Japanese American Concentration Camp during World War two, Kyoko grew up in the diverse neighborhood of Boyle Heights in Los Angeles and graduated from Garfield High School after where she served not only as student body president, but homecoming princess. At Garfield High School, she met her future husband, Kaye.

She went on to study at UCLA and at Cal State Los Angeles, where she earned her master's degree in education administration.

Keoko dedicated her life and career to education. She was a classroom teacher with Los Angeles Unified and retired as an elementary school principal after thirty two years of service. Kyoko was also an activist who dedicated her life to our community. She was an outspoken advocate for social justice and for all immigrants, not just Japanese Americans. She served as president of the San Fernando Valley Japanese American Community Center, and then helped establish the Tuna Canyon Detention Site as a national historic site.

Kyoko Oda's activism ensured that the history of the Japanese American community, especially during World War two, will never be forgotten. She is survived by her devoted husband, Kei Oda, her son, John, wife Monique, daughter-in-law Yvonne Oda, and grandchildren Alexander, Ariel, Devin, and Kyle. We will all miss Kyoko Nancy Oda. I ask that the Assembly adjourn in her memory.

Thank you. Assembly Member Muratsuchi. Assembly Member Patterson, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Great. Thank you, Mister Speaker. Members, I ask you that we adjourn in the memory of Auburn City councilman and former mayor, John Mike Holmes, who passed away at his home this past Saturday at the age of 86 years old. Mike was a deeply respected leader whose decades of service to both his country and his community will leave a lasting legacy. Mike First served his country in the US Navy, retiring as a captain after a distinguished career that included deployments to Vietnam and Taiwan.

His service earned him several prestigious military honors, including the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, and the Meritorious Service Medal. After retiring from the military, Mike continued his commitment to the public service in the city of Auburn. He was elected to the City Council four times and served as mayor twice. Throughout this time in office, he worked to strengthen Auburn's relationship throughout the region while helping preserve the city's history, character, and unique identity.

His dedication to the community also extended beyond city hall through his involvement in numerous local organizations and service projects.

Mike dedicated his life to serving others. His leadership, wisdom, and commitment to preserving what makes Auburn special played a major role in shaping the city. Mike resigned from the City Council on June 25, just two days before he passed away. Members, I respectfully ask that we adjourn in the memory of mayor Mike Holmes.
