Assembly Standing Committee on Appropriations
- Buffy Wicks
Legislator
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 08/13/2026 Assembly appropriation suspense hearing on Senate bills. Before we start with the 293 bills on the suspense file, I would like to thank the committee staff and the Republican staff for their hard work and support. It is much appreciated, and I could not ask for a more dedicated group of professionals. And on that note, I also wanna, shout out a special thank you as we open up today's hearing to recognize one of our principal consultants, Jennifer Swenson.
- Buffy Wicks
Legislator
Jennifer, has been with us for a very long time. She's gonna be retiring after working, within the Assembly for thirty years, here in the legislature, twelve of those years in this committee. So twelve years in this committee is, like, a lifetime. That's, like, you know, a hundred years in a regular job. She came to this committee as an expert on local government and as appropriations consultant.
- Buffy Wicks
Legislator
We've expanded her portfolio to cover housing, and I've worked very closely with her on that, human services, veterans affairs, and other issues. She has served under three previous chairs of this committee. I am honored to be the fourth and final. I won't ask you who your favorite Chair was. We can talk about that later.
- Buffy Wicks
Legislator
But we just just huge gratitude for your service. The state of California is better because of you, and we just always welcome you back with open arms, and I just appreciate your service, Jennifer. So thank you so much. So I also wanna thank, of course, the speaker's office, the Assembly sergeant's office, the information technology personnel, and many others who helped ensure that our democratic process continues, which I think is very critical. Isn't it, miss Pellerin?
- Gail Pellerin
Legislator
Yes. I also wanna thank my vice Chair for his cooperation and support. And, with that, Mister River, would you like to make any announcements before I get into more of the conversation? All good. Let's get to it.
- Buffy Wicks
Legislator
Okay. Famous last words. I also wanna thank my colleagues for their work on the committee. You know, we all know our constituents entrust us to be stewards of their resources. That's a lot of what this committee does.
- Gail Pellerin
Legislator
We've kept that top of mind in these 293 bills that were referred to the suspense file for consideration. You will see some bills move forward and some bills don't.
- Gail Pellerin
Legislator
A lot of the rationale around why we have to sometimes, unfortunately, hold bills in this committee is because often there's, like, they're duplicative of current law or we have to look at sort of the does the cost of implementing something, is it justified because that takes away money from other things that we think there's a greater need for? And so it's always balancing out these various different priorities, and in the end of the day, we have to make difficult budget decisions.
- Gail Pellerin
Legislator
Obviously, the governor will ultimately decide, the fate of these bills should they make them through this committee and through our floor and back to the other house, I think, with a similar frame of mind.
- Gail Pellerin
Legislator
But it is about making tough decisions around, where we're gonna be investing our money as a state. With that, I also wanna announce that the hearing is organized in alphabetical order by author, with two bills authored, by the Senate policy committees listed at the end of the agenda. An electronic copy of the agenda is available online at the Assembly appropriation committee's website, which is located at apro.assembly.ca.gov. There are also unlimited number of hard copies of the agenda in the hearing room.
