Assembly Floor

Good morning, California. Good morning. We will be gaveling in at the conclusion of Assembly committees. We are unable to begin our session until Assembly committees have concluded and gaveled out. We will wait for that time.

Members, 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.

Some of my most memorable conversations have been with young children. One spring day, years ago, I found myself standing next to a six year old girl during the burial service for her grandfather. As the casket was being lowered, she tugged on my sleeve and whispered, what are they doing to grandpa? I hesitated before whispering back, what do you think they are doing?

After a long thoughtful pause, she looked at me with a smile and said, I know, they are planting grandpa, and he will come up as grass and flowers and trees and everything. Smiling, I said, I like that. I like that a lot. And yes, grandpa is going to be a part of everything. Her response was so naturally truer than any thoughts I could have tried to share.

When she said that, grandpa is going to be a part of everything. I felt again the interconnectedness of all things. All of us, we are now separate from the Earth or the environment. We are now separate from the air, the grass, the flowers, and trees. When we feel our connectedness, we care.

Where does a parent's life end and their children's life begin? Although separate, they are forever connected, and they care for each other so deeply, we call it love. If we truly felt our oneness with the Earth or the environment, how could we ever abuse it? And the day we truly realize our oneness with all life, think kindness and caring will flow naturally from our hearts. Kindness and caring so deep, we call it compassion.

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 Bonta will lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance.

With deepest toast, I ask you to join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of The United States.

[Pledge of Allegiance]

You may be seated.

Thank you so much, Mister speaker. I rise to present AB 2619 concerning the water use of data centers. AB 2619 is really a very simple bill. It's about transparency, ensuring that local governments and water suppliers have the data they need about the actual and continuing water use of data centers. Members, when it comes to water, when it comes to California's future, we cannot manage what we do not measure.

This bill underwent a couple amendments in the Senate, which just said the Department of Water Resources does not have to come up with best practices. Now we've heard a lot about data centers in the news. We've heard a lot about water centers water as it relates to data centers. This bill, and I have another one, is gonna show the rest of the nation how California can handle data centers and their water use. So I respectfully request an aye vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Pappan. Assemblymember Spur, you are recognized.

Yes. Mister speaker, members, I just wanna rise in strong support of AB 2619. This is part of a package of bills that has come out of the Assembly this year, really, to protect California consumers from the, potential, impacts of data centers. And, of course, it's one of those, things that recognizes, of course, the data centers can be good if we actually treat them in the right way.

But we also are wanna make sure that we are leading the country in how we are make protecting California citizens and making sure that we get the benefits of data center without the harm.

So I just wanna thank the author for this bill. It's a great bill and urge your strong support.

Thank you so much. Assemblymember Zbur. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assemblymember Papendy, wish to close.

File item 22, that's AB 1577 by Assemblymember Bauer Kahan.

Clerk will read.

Assembly bill 1577 by Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan, and I applied it to energy.

Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. This is yet another bill in the assembly's effort to ensure the data centers here in California work not just for the companies that are building them, but also for our constituents. This is a transparency bill on energy that will ensure that our, grid is able to stand up to the needs of these data centers.

And it also empowers local communities to have information about not only the energy, but the noise and other impacts it's gonna have on local communities so they can make good decisions as well. With that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote on this bill.

Thank you. Assemblymember Bauer-Kahan. Assembly member DeMaio, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. We are struggling with how we can ensure that these data centers are sustainable. And I I believe that the bills that are being offered right now are well intended. They respond to the concerns, the justified concerns about energy consumption and water consumption of these massive, data centers. The problem is we're looking at it just from the standpoint of regulation rather than innovation.

The data centers themselves are remarkable innovation. Artificial intelligence, mobile computing, allowing us to do so many things to make our lives better. If our country doesn't lead in artificial intelligence and data centers, if China does, we are going to put ourselves at a severe economic and national security disadvantage. So we can't kill the golden goose, But we Wanna

make sure the golden goose doesn't crap in the tent, in the hen house. We've gotta make sure that these are sustainable operations. Sustainable from water and energy. And I so I agree with the goal here, but all we're doing is we're offering cost, regulation, and mandate. What that means is the data centers will just simply go somewhere else.

So the jobs go away. The environment's gonna be impacted somewhere else. What if we can have a both and? I am not yet seeing legislation from this body that both allows us to keep the jobs and the economic benefits while protecting our environment and our communities. And so I'm looking forward to bills that do a both and, and I am making this commitment.

If you are interested in having data centers that provide jobs without the environmental impacts, let's do this on a bipartisan basis. Let's challenge the data center operators. Bring us projects that are net neutral on water. Bring us projects that give energy back to the grid. Bring us projects that will not cost the rate payers for water or energy anymore.

I believe they will do that. Now what we have to offer in exchange is regulatory flexibility and incentives. Nothing in these bills provides that model. So that's what I wanna challenge us to work on for the next legislative session. This is an important issue.

We're hearing from our constituents up and down the state of California. Let's listen to that concern, but let's also enact responsible win win policies. Thank you.

Thank you, Assemblymember De Maio. Assemblymember's board, you are recognized.

So I wanna rise in strong support of AB 1577. Yeah. I would encourage our colleague from San Diego to actually read the bills that are actually on the floor. Every one of these bills, I think, approaches data centers from the philosophy that we understand the importance to our innovation economy in California. We understand what an important component they can be, but they're really focused on making sure that we are protecting our citizens and also getting the benefits of data centers.

And every single one of the bills, whether it be in the water area and the energy area and the one that I'm carrying, or the one that, that my colleague from Orinda.

Orinda is care carrying, which is actually merely providing, requirements so that we can understand better what these data centers are doing so that we can actually do the things that are important to to keep data centers in the state of California and get the jobs and the economic impacts and making sure that we we we remain in a leadership position as part of the innovation economy, but at the same time, make sure that they're working for Californians.

And if you look at the bills, the bills do have incentives in in them. I mean, if you look at the bills, all the things that, that our colleague from San Diego said that they don't have, have in the bills.

So I'd encourage all of you to read the three bills, and I think you're gonna understand that the philosophy is basically harnessing the benefits of data centers and making sure that data centers are not, are are are protecting and, and that we're, assuring that unintended consequences of them are being dealt with. So with that, I strongly support AB 1577.

Thank you, Assemblymember Spoor. Assemblymember Muratsuchi, you are recognized.

Thank you very much. I also want to add my voice in strong support, not only of this bill, but all of the bills that seek that that's trying to just provide more transparency for you know, so that we can support and plan for the development of AI infrastructure in the innovation state. I mean, I am very proud of California being the innovation state of leading the country and the world in innovation.

But at the same time, I mean, let let's recognize that there is a a groundswell of bipartisan frustration with big tech, you know, like putting these burdens on energy costs, on water demands, on our local communities.

And and I I rise because, you know, I I saw that one of the very good transparency bills was vetoed last year, and I don't understand why we don't have we we cannot, at the very least, support innovation while at the same time supporting, sustainability, making sure that we have the transparency so that we can responsibly plan for the development of artificial intelligence infrastructure in the state of California.

Thank you. Assemblymember Maritsuchi. Assemblymember Pappen, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I just like to thank my colleague from Arinda. We are onto something whether it's water, whether it's electricity. Transparency equals coexistence. So I appreciate the bill.

I appreciate the sector you're bringing it up in. We're gonna get this right, but we cannot get it right without transparency. So thank you so much for the focus on transparency.

Thank you. Assemblymember Pappen. Assemblymember Tong Yipa, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. And I rise in opposition to this bill. Not because we don't want transparency, but because we see what's happening in the modernization of the world today and where we're at. And a lot of these rules and regulations appear to be, like, trying to protect the horseshoe industry by banning the car. And we've seen when we've passed on the power and the rules of regulations to the Energy Commission, what do they do?

They ban 70% of the tires here on the market utilizing their regulatory powers. And the big threat and the reason why we asked to tread lightly on this is because we know how important it is to modernize and to take necessary steps. We know right now that these data centers are probably not liked by a majority of people. But what we can't do is put a majority of over erroneous regulations and empower unelected bureaucrat agencies to make that decision for us.

This is something that will take a lot of time to make sure that we're factoring in the environmental compliances, the cost onto the general population, and what we need to do to also participate on this modernized arms race.

There are foreign adversaries that are working through Quantum computing, through other areas that do not like where we're at, that are undermining our goals to take the next step in modernization, and we must tread lightly on that. We should not pass on more power to bureaucratic agencies to create regulatory compliance that does not work when we need to take a necessary step in modernization. For those reasons, I respectfully ask for your no vote.

Thank you, Assemblymember Tong Yipa. Assemblymember Soria, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise in, strong support of, AB 1577. And I appreciate the debate on this floor because I think this debate is extremely critical. As someone that represents the Central Valley, I know that the data centers are, you know, scouting places in my region. I wanna make sure that we're doing it the right way.

I do believe that we need transparency. We need data. If you guys see across the Central Valley, there's a lot of interest. Actually, not too far from my district and the home county that I grew up, Tulare County, they just took a pause. Because local governments are also looking for guidance.

They need information so that they can make the best possible decisions because we're gonna have to live with it. And as someone that represents some of the most impoverished communities, I wanna make sure that when these investments come into my community, that they're doing it right, that we're not siphoning the water that is needed for agriculture, that we're making sure that our communities are receiving true community benefit, not just, you know, a couple million dollars to, you know, make people go away.

That is not the way to do it. I think this information is very critical, and I'm looking forward to having a continued, policy discussion, not just as we end session, but as we move forward. Because we do wanna keep California competitive when it comes to, technology and innovation and AI.

It's here. We accept that, but we have to create a framework that is gonna protect every single community. No matter if you live in Beverly Hills or you live in Huron or in Mendota, all of our communities deserve, to have, an opportunity to have prosperity without being taken advantage of. And so I I support these efforts, and I look forward to continuing to have these discussions in in terms of what the future of technology will look like in California.

Thank you. Assembly member Soria. Seeing and hearing no further debate, Assembly member Bauer Kehan, you may close.

Thank you, Mister speaker and members. And thank you for the spirited debate on this. I think first and foremost, we have to remember who we show up every day to represent, and that is the 40,000,000 people of the state of California. People who today are paying the highest energy rates in the country. This effort started for me two years ago, honestly, before the data center sentiment got to where it is today.

And that was because I was, at the time, also the Chair of the privacy committee, and I was sitting on our utility and energy committee. And we were having a deep conversation about utility rates and what we could do to stop the astronomic rise in rates and really bring them down.

And in those conversations, I said to the energy commission, which I'm not sure my colleague to from Tulare knows what they do, but one of the things they do is that they they forecast our energy needs and help, plan the grid for California's future to keep the lights on not just for our constituents, but also for California's businesses. Keeping the lights on is good for everybody and every business in California.

And so I asked the question, well, how are we forecasting the needs of our data centers in our plans?

And the answer was, well, we're doing our best, but we don't really know much about it. And that's when I started this conversation about making sure that we had the information to build a grid that would sustain Californians and Californian businesses, but would not shift the cost of these data centers to our rate payers. We want California innovation and we want these businesses to thrive, but everyday Californians who are suffering with the cost of living here should not be paying the price for these data centers.

And the bill didn't make it last year, so I'm back this year with the bill in a different form. But it is critically important that we get this information.

Our constituents want us to be planning. Just this year, in one of our red districts in the state, we lost our energy provider. The energy provider left that community to go serve data centers and not our constituents. That is not in the best interest of Californians. And this information, this bill will provide, will ensure that we have energy providers, we have energy, we have transmission, and we put the cost of this energy on the companies that need it and not on everyday Californians.

And with that, I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Members, we are going to be taking up adjournments in memory at this time.

Quorum call is still in place.

All conversations need to be taken off the floor during our adjournments in memory. Thank you, members. Assembly member Wynne, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise to request that today's session be adjourned in memory of doctor Jack Edward Fitt who passed away peacefully at his home on August 14 surrounded by his family. Doctor Fitt was a professor of music emeritus at California State University Sacramento, where for decades he taught bands, saxophone, and music education and advised the university's graduate program performance program.

He earned his bachelor's, master's, and doctorate in music education from the University of Oklahoma where he also assisted with the marching and concert band and taught jazz ensemble. Before Sacramento, doctor Foote taught in the public schools of Richardson, Texas and later directed marching concerts and jazz ensemble at the University of Colorado Boulder.

He was an accomplished saxophonist and clarinetist performing with the Oklahoma City Sac Symphony and with the big bands of Le Argette and Buddy Morrow. His jazz ensemble appeared on the NBC Today Show, and his marching bands performed before national audience at the Bluebonnet Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and for the Denver Broncos, the Los Angeles Rams, and the San Diego Chargers, and the San Francisco forty niners.

He was a prolific composer and arranger with more than 200 musical works to his name, written for professional use including for Coors Brewery and legendary trumpeterre doc Severnsen. But for all his accomplished on stages and podiums across the country, doctor Foote's heart never straight far from home. He was married to his wife, Judy, for sixty two years.

They were rarely apart. Husband and wife, yes. But above all, best friends and travel companions who explored the world together no matter how far his travels took him, his heart remained with his family and his students. His sons, Joel and Jason, could always count on him for a counsel and guidance. He carried a well of wisdom and insight that he shared freely and generously.

He was known for his huge smile and his quick wit, always the first to offer a joke and just as often to first the first to laugh at himself. He took genuine unguarded interest in the lives and adventures of the people he loved. Doctor Fitt was also a proud member of the Chickasaw nation, a lifelong educator and musician who found beauty in all things and moments. And most of all in people, especially his students and his family.

Colleagues, doctor Foote spent a career teaching young magicians not just how to play, but how to listen to each other and to the world around them.

That same generosity of spirit to find him at home where he was above all a devoted husband, father, and friend. His positivity, his humor, his wisdom, and his compassion will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. On behalf of this body, I ask that we adjourn today's session in memory of doctor Jack Edward Fitt and extend our deepest condolences to his wife Judy and his son Joel and Jason and the entire family.

Mister speaker, I ask that we adjourn in his memory.

Thank you. Assemblymember Wynne. Assemblymember Sanchez, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Members, I rise today to adjourn in the memory of Daniel Dan Ford Hollingsworth, a remarkable Californian whose life was defined by faith, family, hard work, and a lifelong commitment to agriculture. Dan was born in Grand Junction, Colorado, one of 10 children, and came to California with his family as a young boy. Growing up in Pomona, he picked peaches for neighboring farmers, participated in four h and future farmers of America, and developed an early connection to agriculture that would shape the rest of his life.

Dan went on to study dairy science at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, graduating in just three years. It was also during those years that he met the love of his life, Joan Clark.

Dan and Joan married in 1955 and last year celebrated an extraordinary seventy years together. Over the decades that followed, Dan became a respected voice in California agriculture. He served more than six decades with the Riverside County Farm Bureau, including as its president and as state director of the California Farm Bureau Federation. In 2011, the California Farm Bureau recognized the lifetime of service with its distinguished service award. But Dan's legacy extends well beyond any title or award.

It lives on through his family, his faith, and the many people whose lives he touched over the course of nearly a century. To Joan and the entire Hollingsworth family, I extend my deepest condolences. I ask the Assembly to adjourn in the memory of Dan Hollingsworth.

Thank you. Assemblymember Sanchez, Assemblymember Wallace, you are recognized for your adjournment in memory.

Thank you, Mister speaker. Members, I rise today to ask this body to adjourn in the memory of Dan Hollingsworth, a longtime Riverside County leader whose life and legacy are deeply connected to the communities I have the privilege of representing. Dan and his wife, Joan, settled in San Jacinto where they purchased a small dairy in 1960. At Dan's dairy, Dan milked 50 cows while Joan helped bottle the milk. And together, they ran home delivery routes throughout the San Jacinto Valley and as far as Idlewild.

Their dairy supplied local schools and even the crews constructing the Palm Springs aerial tramway with helicopters landing in their front yard to carry milk up the mountain. He was also a public servant working on the staff of congressman Victor Vassy. This led him to becoming a force in Riverside Republican politics where he served twice as chairman of the county central committee. Dan's legacy of service continued to the next generation.

His son, Dennis Hollingsworth, was a member of this very body and then in the state Senate, ultimately serving as Senate Republican leader.

Dan was a straight shooter. He never minced words, and he never told you what he thought you wanted to hear. Dan told you exactly what he believed and exactly where he stood. And more often than not, you were wise to listen to him. That kind of candor and conviction earned him the respect of generations of people who worked alongside him in our communities and in public service.

Dan is survived by his beloved wife, Joan, his daughters, Tina Spurgeon and Marcy Preston, his sons, Lenny and Dennis,

Thank you. Assemblymember Wallace. Our members, please bring the names to the desk to be printed in the journal. Our request to adjourn a memory will be deemed read and printed in the journal. We will now return back to our business on the daily file.

Now we will be taking up our Senate third reading file.

We begin with file item number 46. We will pass and retain on 46. File item 47, that's SB 1296 by Senator Durazo, presented by Assembly member Haney. The clerk will read.

Senate Bill 1296 by Senator Durazo and others, an act relating to tenancy

Assembly member Haney, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. And members, I rise today to present SB 1296 on behalf of Senator Durazo. This bill will ensure that renters with pets can access clear pet policy information early in the housing search process by requiring disclosure of pet policies on application materials and rental listings. The bill does not dictate whether a landlord must allow pets, restrict the types of pet policies a landlord may adopt, or limit fees.

It simply requires housing providers to share their existing pet policy or no pet policy with prospective applicants. This will bring transparency to pet owners that they need when searching for a home, 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 votes. Ayes, 53, no 0. Measure passes.

Pass and retain on 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54. That brings us up to file item 55.

That is SB 1361 by Senator Durazo presented by Assembly member Elhawary. The clerk will read.

Senate bill 1361 by Senator Durazo and others, an act relating to land use.

Assembly member Elhawaryi, I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but our clerk's entire team up here are all Laker fans. Did you know that? This is all a sea of Laker fans up here.

I'm just saying. I am just saying.

Assemblymember Elhawary, you are recognized.

Thank you so much, Mister speaker. And of course, we are representing for Kobe today and always from Los Angeles. SB 1361 by Senator Durazo, sponsored by LA Metro, is a narrow practical tool to help ensure California's housing and transportation goals move forward together. It's good for the environment, for taxpayers, for tenants, and anyone committed to reducing California's homelessness crisis. SB 1361 is smart housing and smart transportation policy.

I respectfully ask for your aye vote. Thank you.

Thank you, Assemblymember Elhawary. 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. Aye's 41, No's 11. The measure passes.

Pass to retain on fifty six fifty seven. File item 58 is SB 99 by Senator Blake Spear presented by Assemblymember Stephanie. The clerk will read.

The Senate bill 99 by Senator Blake Spear and others and act relating to protective orders.

Assemblymember Stefani, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise to present SB 99, which strengthens protections for military families experiencing domestic violence. Right now, gaps between military and civilian systems can leave survivors without the protection they need. Military protective orders can protect survivors on and off base, but civilian law enforcement cannot enforce them. In one case, a military spouse moved off base to escape her abuser and was stopped.

She repeatedly called 911, but local police did not notify the military. S v 99 closes that gap by creating a clear process for civilian law enforcement and military authorities to communicate. It also makes clear that judges can consider a military protective order when deciding whether to issue a domestic violence restraining order. Survivors should never be left unprotected simply because their abuse crosses jurisdictional lines. 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? Clerk will close the roll and tally the votes. High 63, no zero. The measure passes. Pass and retain on fifty nine and sixty.

Senate bill 1153 by Senator Caballero and others, an act laid to disaster preparedness.

Assemblymember Calderon, you are recognized.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise to present SB 1153 on behalf of Senator Caballero. This bill provides a practical and reasonable approach to wildfire preparedness in California. In response to our unprecedented wildfires over the last decade, our public water systems have invested significant resources and time to prepare for future wildfire events. Public water systems were designed to provide customers with safe and reliable drinking water and to help extinguish structural fires in their communities, not to function as wildfire defense or suppression systems.

SB 1153 improves local emergency planning, clarifies the role and capabilities of water systems during wildfire events, protects rate payers, and supports future investment in infrastructure, all while identifying wildfire suppression and hardening strategies the state can invest in. This bill has received bipartisan support and no no votes. I respectfully ask for your aye vote.

Thank you. Assemblymember Calderon. 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 691 by Senator Wahab and accurately to body worn cameras.

Family member Schultz, you are recognized.

Well, thank you very much, Mister speaker. And colleagues, as an attorney, I'm so excited to tell you about thiS Bill. Today, I rise on behalf of Senator Wahab to present SB 691, which will require law enforcement agencies to update their body worn camera policies to include a process for EMS professionals to request redaction of recordings prior to public release when patients are receiving medical treatment. Hence, you can see why I'm so excited to talk about this as an attorney.

This will ensure we protect the privacy of patients undergoing a medical or psychological evaluation, treatment, or procedure.

And with that, I will note that Bill Bill has received bipartisan support. And on behalf of the Senator, respectfully ask for your aye vote today.

The bill has bipartisan support. It has received no no votes, and I ask for your aye vote today.

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 rule tally votes. Ayes 61, Noes one. Measure passes. Quick announcement, members pursuant to Assembly rule 77.2. I'm re referring the following bills.

Thank you, Mister speaker. I rise to present SB 129 on behalf of Senator Allen. Current law authorizes the California Insurance Commissioner conduct, to conduct examinations of insurers to evaluate their market practices and verify that insurers operate fairly and in compliance with state law. While most insurers voluntarily comply with actions proposed in an examination, there's no clear mechanism to require remediation of any violations.

SB 129 would allow the Insurance Commissioner to assess a fine to an insurer for failing to address corrective actions proposed in an examination. I respectfully I respectfully ask for an aye vote.

Thank you. Assemblymember Calderon. All debate having the ceased, clerk will open the roll.
