Assembly Floor

Morning, California. The Assembly is now in session, and thankfully, Assembly member Davies notices the absence of a quorum. Sergeant at arms will prepare the chamber, bringing the absent members. Clerk will call the roll.

Addis, Aguiar Curry, Aaron, Alanis, Alvarez, Arambula, Avila Fadius, Baines, Bauer Kehan, Bennett, Berman, Burner, Bonta, Brian, Calderon, Coloza, Carrillo, Castillo, Chen, Connolly, Davies, DeMayo, Dixon, El Hawari, Pappan, Patel, Patterson, Pellerin, Peachtree Norris, Quirk Silva, Ramos, Ransom, Celeste Rodriguez, Michelle Rodriguez, Rogers, Ward, Wicks, Wilson, Sabur. Mister Speaker.

Members of 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. Reverend Oshita will offer today's prayer. Reverend Oshita.

Please join me in a moment of reflection. In twenty six BCE, the Roman poet, Horace, wrote the words, seize the day. The sixteenth century tea nester, Senio De Qu said, every moment, once in a lifetime. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, life is only available in the here and now. And the author, AA Milne, created this fanciful dialogue.

What day is it? Asked Pooh. It's today, squealed piglet. My favorite day, said Pooh. Humanities, poets, and philosophers have long reminded us of what we all know but so easily forget.

Each moment of life is priceless. And once it is gone, it will never return. Through the centuries, humanity's poets and great teachers have encouraged us to not take our lives for granted. Instead, try to cherish each moment, treasure each day. Everyone here knows well what it is to wake up each day facing a demanding schedule with so many places to be, people to see, and things to do.

We know what is to be responsible and accountable and feeling there are not enough hours in the day. But this week, especially for our members leaving, they cannot help but also feel a gratitude beyond words to have served the state Assembly. There is a saying that evokes an indelible image. We pay for each day with coins from a purse that we can never repay never refill. We all know this, so let us all try to cherish each moment and treasure each day.

Let us try to 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 Ramos will lead us in the pledge of allegiance.

Please join me in saluting the flag, hand over heart. I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States Of America, and the

The clerk will read.

Senate bill 1267 by Senator Allen and I've highlighted the common interest developments.

Assemblymember's board, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise today to present SB 1267 on behalf of Senator Allen. SB 1267 is a simple clarification to the liabilities surrounding EV chargers installed in common areas of HOAs. To clarify liability for any damage or injury that occurs when a contractor installs an EV charger, this bill would require contractors hired by HOA residents to indemnify the HOA for damages during the installation of a charger.

This aligns with common indemnification practices for contracted work on HOA properties.

This is a support support bill. On behalf of Senator Allen, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Assemblymember Harbidian, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I am proud to present SB 1099, which clarifies local government's authority to provide public benefits to all California residents. California law has long allowed local governments to provide critical services, including health care and safety net programs, consistent with federal law. SB 199 simply clarifies that state law aligns with the federal definition of state and local public benefits, providing certainty for local governments. This is a technical but important clarification.

It passed the Senate unanimously and has no opposition. Respectfully asked for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Harabedian. I'll debate having seized 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.

Senate bill 1151 by Senator Cervantes, an act relating to taxation to take effect immediately tax levy.

Assembly member Rodriguez, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I am happy to present SB 1151 on behalf of Senator Cervantes. SB 1151 seeks to clarify that infant formula should be recognized as an essential food product and therefore exempt from sales and use tax in statute. This clarification aims to support the needs of families and promote the well-being of infants in law. This addition not only clarifies the original intent of the legislation, but also ensures that families with infants can benefit from this financial relief.

By explicitly recognizing infant formula as an essential food item, the bill underscores the importance of supporting parents and caregivers in providing necessary nutrition for their young children. I respectfully request your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Rodriguez. All debate happens to cease. Clerk will open the roll. All members vote who desire to vote. All members vote who desire to vote.

Senate bill 1417 by Senator Perez and others, and after the mutual water companies.

Assembly member Bennett, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise to present SB 1417, the Mutual Water Company Rate and Disclosure Notice Act on behalf of Senator Perez. California is served by thousands of public and private water service providers, including mutual water companies. These companies operate as small private nonprofit corporations that deliver water to shareholders within a designated area.

Unlike public water providers, mutual water companies are not automatically subject to standard transparency requirements, leaving their constituents with limited rights to know about the operation of their water service provider.

Prior legislation extended Necessary Brown Act style open meeting, public record, audit, and budget requirements to mutual water companies. Public water agencies are also subject under Prop two eighteen to provide advanced notification and a public forum before adopting a rate increase. These specific requirements do not apply to mutual water companies, leaving shareholders of these companies without assurance of an advance notice or audience with company Board Members to discuss a potential rate before it is adopted.

SB 1417 addresses this gap and issues by extending rights and benefits of advanced transparency and accountability regarding rate increases to Californians serviced by mutual water companies.

S P SB 1417 will provide a written outline of the proposed rate increases, reasoning for the proposal, convene a public meeting to discuss the proposed service increase, send the written proposal and notice of the public meeting in advance to shareholders and local media outlets, requires a mutual water company to make available to qualified individuals upon request certain company information in any written rate increase proposal.

By guaranteeing this advanced notification, the ability to engage with company Board Members on proposed water service increases, this bill ensures that mutual water companies are accountable and transparent to shareholders when they consider rate changes. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Bennett. 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. Quick, we'll close the roll and tally the votes. Size 51 knows four. The measure passes. Pass three ten on file items.

Assemblymember Carrillo, you are recognized. Thank you, Mister speaker. Good more good afternoon, speaker and members. Thank you for allowing me to represent Senate Bill 1439.

Senate bill 950 by Senator Weber Pearson and others, and I believe in the health care coverage.

Assembly member Stephanie, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise today to present SB 950 on behalf of Senator Weber Pearson. SB 950 ensures Californians with private insurers can get timely access to FDA approved medically necessary treatments for Alzheimer's disease. This issue is deeply personal to me. My dad suffered from Lewy Body dementia, so I know how devastating these diseases are for families and how precious time becomes.

For too long, there was little we could do to slow Alzheimer's. That is changing. New treatments can slow clinical decline for people in their early stages of the disease, but there is a narrow window for treatment. Delays can mean losing that opportunity altogether. SB 950 makes sure insurance does not stand in the way.

It requires coverage of these medically necessary treatments and prohibits step therapy. These treatments are not a cure, but they can give families more time, more independence, and more memories together. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Assemblymember Stephanie, 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, tallying votes size 56. No zero. The measure passes. File item one zero six is s B993 by Senator Ochoa Bo, presented by Assembly member Arons.

Respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Assemblymember Arons. Assemblymember Jeff Gonzales, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. This bill was was born in, my district. And in working with Senator Cho Bogue, This is a a unique issue set that is that is across CDCR, and they said we need help in protecting us. So that's what we came together to do. It's a nonpartisan bill.

It's about protecting those who are who are serving our community. With that, I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

The clerk will read.

The Senate bill 1014 by Senator Grayson and Appling to Development Projects.

Assembly member Calra, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Advise to present SB 1014 on behalf of Senator Grayson. Despite the state's significant legislative reforms intended to improve the transparency, builders continue to struggle to anticipate certain development costs such as those for on-site and off-site improvements. SB 1014 will help address this issue by requiring local jurisdictions within thirty days of submission of a preliminary application, provide a good faith estimate and list of any on-site or off-site improvements.

This bill would also prevent a local jurisdiction from requiring any additional on-site or off-site improvements that are not disclosed within thirty days of submitting a building permit application.

SB 1014 will be an important tool to help provide greater certainty and predictability for housing developments. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate bill 1048 by Senator Becker and others and actively the pupil instruction.

Mister assistant majority leader, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise as a proud co author to present SB 1048 on behalf of Senator Becker. SB 1048 establishes the seal of climate literacy, a high school diploma distinction awarded to students who demonstrate a strong understanding of climate science and its real world impacts through both coursework and hands on learning. Amendments provide a later implementation date for greater departmental flexibility and to ensure equitable participation from LEAs.

Climate change remains one of the defining challenges of our generation, and we must prepare future generations to meet it.

Therefore, our leadership in climate policy must go hand in hand with climate education. SB 1048 also encourages connections to workforce and higher education pathways by allowing students to earn distinctions in green industry skills or college level coursework. This helps align our education system with California's growing clean energy economy. SB 1048 is supported by a large coalition of education and climate advocates, including state superintendent of public instruction, Tony Thurman. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Garcia. The 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 and tally votes. Size 52 knows to the measure passes. Pass and retain on one zero nine through one fifteen. File item one sixteen is SB 1218 by Senator Araguin, presented by Assemblymember Bonta.

The clerk will read.

Senate bill 1218 by Senator Araugin and others in April of the vehicles.

Assembly member Bonta, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. I appreciate the opportunity to present Senate bill 1218 on behalf of Senator Araugin. SB 1218 will give local law enforcement and certain code enforcement employees the authority to put a wheel boot on an individual's vehicle if the owner has repeatedly failed to resolve illegal dumping citations. This will not only reduce costs for the state, but will streamline enforcement for local governments.

SB 1218 would allow for a local authority to immobilize a vehicle for a person who has five or more outstanding illegal dumping citations or failure to appear notices for illegal dumping or two or more unpaid citations for illegal dumping of commercial quantities.

Under existing law, commercial quantities is defined as waste matter equal to or in excess of one cubic yard. This is consistent with the existing legal authority provided to local government for enforcement of unpaid parking and traffic citations. Illegal dumping is a persistent public health, environmental, and quality of life issue, and a crisis in my district and Senator Ara Geens in Oakland and across California. Abandoned waste attracts additional dumping, creates fire hazards, blocks sidewalks, harms local businesses, and disproportionately impacts low income communities and communities of color.

Between 2021 and 2024, for example, Oakland issued nearly 3,000 illegal dumping citations totaling about $1,300,000 in fines.

However, the city had only been able to collect about 11% of total fines issued. Last year, Oakland received over 25,000 calls reporting illegal dumping. This is intended to deal with the licensed and unlicensed haulers who dump material in public spaces, contractors who dump construction debris, and people who consistently decide to trash our communities. Similarly to the authority currently provided to local agencies to boot vehicles due to unpaid parking and traffic citations, this bill will establish meaningful consequence for unpaid dumping citations.

AB 1218 will deter, repeat illegal dumping, improve compliance, and support cleaner and safer neighborhoods.

With that, I respectfully request your aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Bonta. 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. Size fifty six, no zero. The measure passes. Passes from 18 on one seventeen and one eighteen. File item one nineteen is SB 1272 by Senator Menjivar, presented by Assembly member Stephanie.

The clerk will read.

The Senate bill 1272 by Senator Menjivar and others, and acting like to local government.

Assembly member Stephanie, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise to present SB 1272 on behalf of Senator Menjivar. This bill is about basic fairness for homeowners. Right now, someone can buy a home and later discover an unpermitted renovation or alteration made by the previous owner that was never disclosed. Even though they did nothing wrong, they can be hit with fees and given as little as thirty days to fix it.

SB 1272 gives these homeowners six months to fix the violation and another six months if they are making a good faith effort to comply without charging them a fee for just needing more time. This bill gives homeowners a fair chance to fix a problem they did not create while still allowing local governments to enforce the law. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Stephanie. I'll 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 role and tally the votes. Size forty eight, Noes three. The measure passes. File item one twenty is SB 1283 by Senator Ashby, presented by Assembly member Carrillo. The clerk will read.

Senate bill 1283 by Senator Ashby in Accolade to electric vehicle charging stations.

Assemblymember Carrillo, you are recognized.

Mister speaker and members, I rise to present SB 1283 on behalf of my leader leader Ashby. California has over 200,000 EV charging points available for use but needs hundreds of thousands more to meet its twenty thirty five zero emission goals. SB 1283 expands existing requirements for for ministerial approval of EV charging stations to include essential additions like canopies and on-site energy storage system.

This bill will help accelerate AV infrastructure and support California's clean energy goals by requiring local governments to update their EV charging station ordinances by the end of twenty twenty seven. I respectfully ask for an eye vote.

Assemblymember's Board, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise today to present SB 1288 on behalf of Senator Laird. This bill ensures that non probate assets make it into the hands of the intended individuals and nonprofits by establishing a clear framework for the notification of beneficiaries and by eliminating barriers to accessing funds. The bill establishes clear notification requirements, sets reasonable verification standards, and streamlines administrative barriers so that intended beneficiaries, including charitable organizations, receive funds promptly as though as the donors intended.

Recent amendments removed opposition, and the bill now strikes the right balance of preserving consumer protections and ensuring implementation that is reasonable and workable for financial institutions.

SB 1261 allows these ADRCs to keep operating while their local area agencies on aging transition.

This prevents a gap in critical services for older adults, people with disabilities, and their families.

Senate bill 503 by Senator Weber Pearson and others, and I believe the health care services.

Assemblymember Wilson, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Good afternoon, members. Rising to present SB 503 on behalf of Senator Weber Pearson. This bill would require AI clinical decision support systems to be identified, mitigated, and monitored for biased impacts and is one of the California legislative black caucus's priority bills. AI is now broadly used in health care to support providers and health care facilities, and its deployment is only increasing.

We really see its impact on patients when it is used to provide recommendations, analysis, or otherwise supporting timing, diagnosis, or treatment planning. These tools can be incredibly helpful, but they also come with risk. When they are trained on incomplete, nonrepresentative, or biased data, they risk reinforcing or amplifying existing disparities. Bias can be introduced at every stage of a tool's development and deployment.

Studies have also have already shown that some widely used health care algorithms have inappropriately denied higher levels of care to sicker patients or relied on outdated race based assumptions resulting in inequitable and adverse outcomes.

Without both proactive forethought and ongoing monitoring, bias outcomes can go undetected, leading to real harm in patient care. SB 503 establishes a practical and targeted approach centered on identifying and reducing these risks.

With its most recent amendment, this bill strengthens collaboration between AI developers and health care providers, clarifies the scope by adding and refining definitions to properly capture higher risk tools that directly impact patient care and leaves the attorney general as the lead enforcer, recognizing the office's advocacy and guidance and safe AI use and consumer protection. SB 503 affirms California as a leader in innovation and quality health care.

By bringing together those who create AI and those who use it, this bill helps protect patients and promotes safety and equity while still embracing the advancement of emerging technologies.

With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on SB 503.

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

Senate bill 222 by Senator Wiener and others, and I'll put it in the housing.

Assembly member Bennett, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise to present SB 222, the Heat Pump Access Act on behalf of Senator Wiener. SB 222 will make cost saving heat pump water heater and HVAC installations faster, simpler, and more affordable by streamlining the permitting process. Heat pumps are highly efficient, zero pollution option for HVAC systems and water heaters that make heating and cooling homes cleaner, safer, and more affordable.

Heat pumps are so energy efficient that they reduce electricity use for heating by up to 75% and allow customers across the state to experience significantly lower energy bills.

Replacing a fossil fuel HVAC or water pump system with a heat pump eliminates harmful pollutants that those systems release into homes, improving the health of Californians and slashing climate emissions dramatically. Unfortunately, the current permitting process for heat pumps is incredibly fragmented and confusing. Excessive permitting requirements often add to thousands of dollars extra in installation cost. The Heat Pump Access Act tackles those issues by creating a simplified process for heat pump installations and standardizing permitting fees with caps to approve efficiencies.

This bill is sponsored by the building decarbonization coalition, SPUR, and the Bay Area Air District.

It's supported by a large coalition with California environmental bo voters, the NRDC, Western State Councils of Sheet Metal Workers, manufacturers of heat pump technologies in cities across the state. This bill has received bipartisan support. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Senate bill 501 by Senator Allen and accurately the solid waste.

Assembly member Erwin, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. SB 501 by Senator Allen will expand California's EPR program for loose batteries to include medium format batteries such as those found in ebikes, outdoor lawn equipment, and portable power systems. Over the last twelve years, I have spoken countless times about how batteries can pose significant safety risks when improperly managed, including fires and even explosions. Currently, consumers often face inadequate access to convenient collection options, which can increase the chance of improper and dangerous disposal.

Local jurisdictions also face significant fiscal burdens from the cost of, proper collection and disposal of these products.

In 2022, I authored legislation to establish a producer responsibility program to improve the collection and safe and proper management of small loose batteries. At that time, medium format batteries were not included in the program. AB 2440, will add medium format or SB 501 will add medium format batteries. Other states have included medium format batteries and recently enacted EPR programs for batteries allowing for efficiencies and distributing cost for the program administration.

SB 501 will incorporate several, clarifying changes to the statute to improve implementation as the program is being rolled out.

Thank you, and I respectfully ask for aye vote.

Thank you, Mister speaker.

Senate bill 1037 by Senator Weber Pearson, enacting the health care coverage.

Assemblymember Schiavo, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. I rise today to present Senator Weber Pearson's SB 1037. This bill focuses on highlighting the affordability or rather lack of affordability of state regulated commercial health insurance. We can all agree that health insurance is too expensive. Cost drivers and setting targets to slow cost growth.

This is one of the few things and few ways that we are working to actually control health care costs. SB 1037 connects the work of OCA with health insurance regulator reviews or proposed health insurance premium rate increases. This bill allows the Department of Managed Health Care and Department of Insurance to consult with OCA when considering rate increases.

It requires plans and insurers to exceed that exceed OCA cost targets to report regulators to, report to regulators a detailed list of steps they are taking to meet those cost targets, and it requires plans and insurers to report data necessary for regulator reports in aggregate and by plan if the rates exceed the Affordable Care Act affordability standard.

This public airing of unaffordable health insurance premiums will put premium pressure on plans, administrators, employers, regulators, and federal and state policy makers to do more to address our health care access and affordability prices.

This is a really important transparency, and affordability bill. We know that health care is skyrocketing and that is unaffordable for too many in our communities. This is a way we can actually impact it. Respectfully request an aye vote.

The clerk will read.

Senate bill 1067 by Senator Weber Pearson and others, and I believe the pupil instruction.

Assembly member Rubio, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. Today, I rise to present SB 1067 on behalf of Senator Weber Pearson. This bill addresses one of California's most urgent educational challenges. Too many students reach high school and college without foundational math skills because learning gaps were not identified or addressed early on. Despite being home to the world's leading technology and innovation economy, California ranks forty third in the nation in fourth grade math achievement has and has one of the widest math achievement gaps in the country.

California has invested heavily in math instruction through its mathematics framework, but still lacks a consistent statewide approach to identifying struggling students before they fall behind. SB 1067 addresses this gap. Beginning in the twenty twenty eight, twenty nine school year, the bill establishes a statewide framework for annual math assessments in kindergarten through second grade to help educate to help educators identify struggling students early and connect them with effective interventions.

The bill preserves local flexibility, insurance parents receive clear information about their child's results, determines if additional support is needed, and what interventions the school plans to provide. SB 1067 includes safeguards to ensure assessment measure math knowledge rather than language ability, and are developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate.

Importantly, SB 1067 is not a high stakes testing bill. Results cannot be the sole basis for a special education referral, and the bill does not dictate curriculum, instruction, or intervention models. At its core, SB 1067 is about giving every child the opportunity to build a strong foundation in mathematics instead of holding onto the long standing misconception that some students are simply math math people and others are not.

The reality is that when students receive the support they need early early, more of them can succeed and every student deserves the chance to succeed and every students can be a, quote, math person. SB 1067 has received unanimous bipartisan support, and I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Assembly member Rubio. Assembly member Hoover, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise today in support of SB 1067. I was proud to become an early co author of this bill because as a former school board member and a parent of public school students, I know that when we identify gaps early, educators have a much better opportunity to address them before they become more difficult to overcome. Not only does early identification help the students and the teachers, it also allows us to target our resources more effectively.

This is not about creating another high stakes test or telling teachers how to teach.

It is about giving educators and parents useful information about what a child knows and where they may may need additional support. And importantly, this bill preserves local flexibility. Districts can choose an assessment from the state's recommended list or continue using a local assessment that meets the state's quality criteria. This is a practical common sense step that will help schools do what we all expect them to do, identify students who need help and make sure they get it. I respectfully ask for an aye vote.
