- We are not the first state to recognize Diwali in its state laws.
- Last year, Pennsylvania became the first state to officially recognize Diwali as a state holiday.
- New York requires public schools in the City of New York to be closed on Diwali as a school holiday.
- There are many barriers to building much-needed new housing when the state is not facing a disaster.

Summary:
The Governmental Organization Committee heard a series of bills on holidays, procurement, public safety, and business regulation. AB 268 would add Diwali as an official state holiday and allow schools and state workers limited flexibility to observe it; supporters described it as a recognition of California’s large South Asian and Hindu communities, and there was no opposition. AB 770 would define “customary maintenance” for outdoor advertising displays to clarify what repairs and reinforcements are allowed; the bill was presented as a safety and consistency measure for the billboard industry. AB 783 would authorize the Department of General Services to negotiate bulk pricing for construction materials to help disaster-affected communities rebuild more affordably, with supporters from the housing and building sectors and some members raising concerns about state contracting, storage, and implementation. AB 381 would update state procurement rules to better prevent human trafficking and forced labor in supply chains, aligning state policy with federal standards and drawing support from anti-trafficking advocates, labor, and local government representatives. AB 668 would extend drink-spiking prevention measures to music festivals by requiring test strips, drink lids, and reporting procedures; supporters emphasized victim safety and underreporting, while venue operators opposed the bill unless amended, citing feasibility and cost concerns. AB 880 would require prompt payment and indirect cost coverage for nonprofits contracting with the state, with broad nonprofit support and no opposition. AB 989 would make California Native American Day a paid holiday, with tribal and allied support. AB 592 would extend and expand temporary outdoor dining and alcohol service flexibilities for restaurants, with strong support from restaurant and business groups and opposition from alcohol policy advocates who preferred a narrower or permanent grandfathering approach.
Most bills advanced on committee votes, generally on party-line or broad bipartisan support. AB 770 was moved to Appropriations, AB 783 was passed as amended to the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management, AB 381 was sent to Labor, AB 668 and AB 880 were sent to Appropriations, AB 989 was sent to Public Employees and Retirement, and AB 592 was sent to Health. The committee also took up a consent calendar containing several additional bills, which was approved. The hearing ended with the roll left open for additional votes and adjournment at 3:17 p.m.

Committee:
House Governmental Organization
Summary:
The Governmental Organization Committee heard a series of bills on holidays, procurement, disaster recovery, public safety, nonprofit payments, and restaurant regulation. AB 268 would add Diwali as an official state holiday, with the authors and supporters emphasizing recognition of Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist Californians and no opposition heard. AB 770 would define “customary maintenance” for outdoor advertising displays to clarify billboard maintenance rules; the bill was framed as a safety and regulatory consistency measure and was moved forward after a motion and roll call. AB 783 would authorize the Department of General Services to negotiate bulk purchasing arrangements for construction materials to lower rebuilding costs after disasters; members raised concerns about state contracting, storage, and market competition, and the author said the bill would be refined with amendments and a sunset provision. The bill passed as amended to the Assembly Committee on Emergency Management.
The committee also approved AB 381, which updates state procurement rules to address human trafficking and forced labor in supply chains by aligning California standards more closely with federal guidance. Supporters said the bill would give clearer compliance guidance to contractors and help prevent exploitation, while a question from the committee clarified that prison labor products would not be treated as forced labor under the measure. AB 668 would extend drink-spiking prevention measures to music festivals by requiring availability of test strips and drink lids and adding reporting requirements; supporters described personal experiences with roofieing, while festival and venue representatives opposed the bill unless amended, citing cost and operational concerns. Despite that opposition, the bill advanced to Appropriations.
Later, AB 880 was heard to require prompt payment and fair reimbursement of direct and indirect costs for nonprofits receiving state grants, closing a prompt-payment loophole and drawing broad support from nonprofit and county health groups. AB 989 would establish California Native American Day as a paid holiday, with the author and tribal supporters describing it as a step toward recognition and reconciliation for California’s first people; it also advanced. Finally, AB 592 would extend temporary outdoor dining and alcohol service flexibilities for restaurants, with strong support from restaurant owners and business groups and opposition from alcohol policy advocates who preferred a shorter extension or permanent grandfathering. The committee approved the bill as amended, and the meeting adjourned after roll calls on the measures and consent calendar.

Summary:
The committee first approved the prior meeting minutes and recognized Eric Clark for his service, noting this may be his last meeting before he leaves state government. The main presentation was from Allison Adams, president and CEO of the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky, who described the organization’s history, nonpartisan mission, and focus on health equity, prevention, and upstream policy solutions. She said Kentucky’s poor rankings in chronic disease, preventable hospitalizations, and life expectancy show the need to shift resources toward prevention and community-driven strategies rather than relying mainly on treatment after people become sick.
Adams emphasized leading health indicators, arguing that lawmakers should track actionable measures such as quit attempts and smoke-free policies instead of only lagging indicators like disease rates and mortality. In response to questions, she said accountability should be shared across communities and systems, with possible incentives and disincentives tied to outcomes, and she supported creating a public data utility or dashboard, ideally with university partners, to help legislators and communities monitor progress. She also cited examples of accountable health community models and said Kentucky could adapt similar approaches.
The committee then heard from Meade County Schools Superintendent Mark Martin and district health coordinator Karen Kotche about the Healthy Kids Clinic partnership with Cumberland Health. They described a seven-year effort that led to full implementation in the district, which now has a nurse in every school and a nurse practitioner, allowing services such as sports physicals and other clinic functions to be provided on campus. They said the program has been a strong investment for students and the community and began explaining how the district built the partnership after earlier efforts and delays, including the pandemic.

Summary:
The Senate opened with prayer, the pledge, attendance, and routine journal and communication actions, including a temporary committee replacement appointment and confirmation of Todd D. Haney to the State Board of Education. The chamber then moved into the Committee of the Whole to consider House Bill 4001, which concerns vaping/nicotine product regulation. Members debated a committee amendment and a floor amendment offered by Senator Bolick; supporters described the bill as a first step toward regulating harmful products and keeping them away from children, while opponents argued it was too weak, lacked retail licensing and enforcement, and did not adequately protect public health. The Committee of the Whole adopted the amendments and recommended the bill do pass, and the full Senate later passed HB 4001 on a 24-0-1 vote after additional debate on the same public health and enforcement concerns.
The Senate then took up several other measures on final reading. House Bills 2720, 2078, 2501, 2686, and 2574 all passed, with votes ranging from 17-7 to 26-0. The chamber also concurred in House amendments to several Senate bills, including SB 1067, SB 1172, SB 1232, SB 1214, and SB 1478. During debate on HB 2078 and other bills, members used points of personal privilege to recognize staff and explain votes, but no additional amendments were adopted on those measures.
On final readings, SB 1566, dealing with residential construction and delay enforcement, passed 17-9 despite concerns that its definition of malicious delay was too broad and could invite litigation. SB 1067, SB 1172, SB 1232, SB 1426, and SB 1478 also passed, with some members speaking in support of homeowner protections, administrative changes, or liquor policy updates, while others opposed the liquor bill and raised public health concerns about alcohol access in border communities. The Senate concluded by announcing party caucuses and adjourning until June 1, 2026.
