Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met to consider a large suspense-file agenda, noting that 122 measures met suspense criteria and that several bills listed in the daily file were postponed to the following week. The Department of Finance did not attend because it had no comments on the bills. After establishing a quorum, the committee proceeded through the agenda, with most authors waiving presentation and public testimony limited to fiscal issues.
Most measures were moved to the suspense file without objection after brief or no testimony. A number of bills drew support or opposition from outside groups on fiscal grounds, including SB 951, SB 947, SB 954, SB 1031, SB 1291, and SB 1368. Testimony highlighted concerns such as ongoing state or departmental costs, General Fund impacts, broadband and compliance burdens for small mutual water companies, and implementation costs for education, health, and transportation-related proposals. Supporters of some bills argued they would save money over time, such as SB 1067 on early math remediation and SB 1089 on obesity treatment and CalRx partnerships.
The committee also heard an author presentation on SB 1089 by Senator Richardson, who said the bill would reduce CalPERS and broader health costs by expanding access to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs for eligible public employees and directing CalRx to pursue production or acquisition of a GLP-1 medication. No committee questions were raised on that measure, and it too was sent to suspense. The hearing concluded with all items heard being moved to the suspense file and the committee adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met to consider a large suspense-file agenda, noting that 122 measures met suspense criteria and that several bills listed in the daily file were rescheduled for the following week. The Department of Finance did not attend because it had no comments on the bills before the committee. After establishing a quorum, the committee repeatedly took public testimony on each item, with most authors waiving presentation and most bills drawing no questions or comments from members.
A few measures drew substantive testimony. SB 951 and SB 947 received opposition from the Society for Human Resource Management, the California Restaurant Association, and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association, with opponents citing policy concerns, ongoing department and General Fund costs, and submitted amendments. SB 1067 was supported by EdVoice, which argued that early math remediation would save state costs and noted an implementation budget request. SB 1291 drew strong opposition from mutual water company representatives, who said the bill would create significant ongoing costs, duplicate existing state efforts, and impose internet and teleconferencing mandates on small systems in areas with limited broadband access. SB 1368 received support from hearing health care providers, who asked for technical amendments to align state law with federal hearing-aid definitions and education-provider recognition.
Senator Richardson presented SB 1089, explaining that it would help reduce CalPERS and broader health costs by expanding access to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs for eligible state employees and directing CalRx partnerships to produce or acquire at least one GLP-1 medication. The committee took no action other than moving each suspense-file candidate, including SB 1089, to the suspense file without objection. The hearing then adjourned after the agenda was completed.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations heard a very large suspense-file agenda and repeatedly moved measures to suspense without objection after authors waived presentation and no questions or opposition were raised. SB 994 was removed from the agenda because it had been approved as a late 28.8 and was sent directly to the Senate floor. The Department of Finance did not attend because it had no comments on the bills before the committee.
Several bills drew limited testimony focused on fiscal impacts. On SB 1092 and SB 1093, Chris Weisak of WMA opposed the bills, citing potential litigation costs, reduced state and local tax revenue, higher HCD monitoring and review costs, and additional inspection or review burdens. SB 1041 drew opposition from the California Bankers Association and the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors over concerns about PACE liens, refinancing costs, and possible abusive liens affecting seniors. SB 1147 drew support from the California Agricultural Teachers Association, but opposition from NextGen Financial and Junior Achievement, who argued it would undermine the recently enacted statewide financial literacy course and could weaken equity and consistency in instruction.
One measure, SB 1238 by Senator Wahab, was taken up as a due-pass item rather than suspense. The bill would add HOA-related disclosures and duties, clarify reserve spending limits, and improve transparency of inspection ratings. The California Association of Realtors supported it, and the committee approved SB 1238 on a 5-1 vote, with Senators Cervantes, Cabaldon, Grayson, Richardson, and Wahab voting aye and Seyarto voting no. A few other bills received brief support testimony, including SB 1153 on wildfire response planning for urban retail water suppliers, SB 1061 and SB 1062 with support from WMA, and SB 1302 and SB 1303 with support from professional associations, but most measures were simply held and sent to suspense.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met with a quorum present and heard a large suspense-file agenda, noting that most authors waived presentation and the Department of Finance had no comments on the bills. The committee reminded witnesses to focus on fiscal issues. AB 1999 by Assembly Member Kalra, presented by Senator Grayson, drew support from the California Veterinary Medical Association, the Veterinary Medical Board, and Social Compassion in Legislation; it was described as a measure to ease veterinary staffing shortages and improve access to care. The committee voted 6-0 to send AB 1999 to the Senate floor and placed it on call for additional members to add on.
The remaining measures were largely taken up without presentation, testimony, or committee questions and were moved to the suspense file without objection. Bills sent to suspense included SB 1096 and numerous Assembly Bills such as AB 308, AB 441, AB 2640, AB 805, AB 1871, AB 2176, AB 2206, AB 2436, AB 907, AB 2002, AB 1048, AB 1049, AB 2251, AB 1116, AB 1836, AB 1149, AB 1552, AB 1153, AB 1969, AB 1996, AB 1301, AB 1359, AB 1961, AB 2756, AB 2765, AB 2769, AB 1382, AB 1567, AB 1574, AB 1576, AB 1598, AB 1602, AB 1983, AB 1628, AB 1630, AB 1980, AB 1645, AB 1662, AB 1694, AB 1703, AB 1715, AB 2720, AB 1721, AB 2060, AB 2440, AB 1734, AB 2081, AB 1741, AB 2592, AB 1743, AB 1755, AB 1759, AB 1932, AB 1763, AB 1916, AB 1789, AB 2241, AB 1813, AB 1906, AB 1981, AB 1907, AB 1925, AB 2122, AB 2038, AB 2157, AB 2270, AB 2339, AB 2524, AB 2633, AB 2660, and AB 2664.
A few measures drew brief public testimony on fiscal impacts or policy-related cost concerns. AB 1116 prompted opposition testimony from the Secretary of State’s office, which said the bill would create significant cybersecurity and operational challenges and could cost up to $10 million in one-time implementation costs, plus ongoing expenses. AB 1382 received support from Social Compassion in Legislation, which argued it would help address shelter costs and pet overpopulation. AB 2081 was supported by a sponsor representative who said the Medi-Cal waiver proposal was cost-effective and that budget funding had been included for administrative costs. AB 1703 drew opposition testimony from a group of internationally trained practitioners who said the bill would unfairly target their work and shift costs to counties. The committee took no further action beyond moving the suspense-file candidates to suspense and adjourning after the agenda was completed.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations heard a large suspense-file agenda and established a quorum at the start. SB 1167 was announced as not being heard and will be rescheduled. The Department of Finance did not attend because it had no comments on the bills before the committee. Most measures on the agenda were taken up briefly with public testimony, then moved to suspense without objection.
Two bills received fuller presentations. SB 872 by Senator McNerney would create a fund to support repairs to Delta levees and State Water Project canals, with testimony from Restore the Delta, State Water Contractors, and numerous water agencies and coalitions emphasizing flood protection, water reliability for 27 million Californians, protection of state assets, and long-term infrastructure costs. Committee members noted the importance of the investment and the likelihood it would be considered in the final suspense decision; SB 872 was moved to suspense. SB 962 by Senator Archuleta would authorize CDCR to use blue emergency lights on parole vehicles, with supporters from the California Correctional Peace Officers Association citing the line-of-duty death of a parole agent and the need for a low-cost, discretionary safety tool. The bill was also moved to suspense.
SB 950, dealing with coverage for FDA-approved medically necessary treatments for early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, was discussed as having a minimal near-term fiscal impact, though members noted costs could rise if new treatments emerge. The committee asked the author to consider a sunset amendment, but the bill received a do pass motion and was approved on a 7-0 vote, then placed on call for additional members. The remaining bills taken up, including SB 870, SB 1120, SB 888, SB 904, SB 986, SB 1029, SB 1186, SB 895, SB 1004, SB 1123, SB 909, SB 945, SB 1037, SB 953, SB 1001, SB 1188, SB 1407, SB 967, SB 1135, SB 1136, SB 988, SB 1069, SB 1000, SB 1024, SB 1179, SB 1025, SB 1040, SB 1081, SB 1091, SB 1131, SB 1138, SB 1146, SB 1279, SB 1158, SB 1401, SB 1162, SB 1293, SB 1334, SB 1382, SB 1397, SB 1178, SB 1414, SB 1214, SB 1218, SB 1257, SB 1265, SB 1286, SB 1322, SB 1337, SB 1340, SB 1276, SB 1358, and SB 1412, were moved to the suspense file without objection, with a few witnesses registering support or opposition on selected measures.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met for its first hearing under the new chair and opened with remarks about California’s ongoing fiscal challenges and the need to balance policy goals with budget constraints. The Department of Finance gave general comments on the state’s financial condition, noting risks such as market volatility, revenue uncertainty, and projected out-year shortfalls driven by spending growth outpacing revenues. The chair also reminded witnesses to focus on fiscal impacts rather than policy arguments.
The committee then considered 26 Senate bills on the suspense file agenda, with authors waiving presentation on each measure. Public testimony was limited but included support for SB 1240 from California Association of Nonprofits and several related organizations, and support for SB 943 from the State Water Contractors, SB 1056 from a representative of Valerre, and SB 881, SB 886, SB 891, SB 920, SB 937, SB 944, SB 946, SB 948, SB 959, SB 964, SB 987, SB 1006, SB 1009, SB 1044, SB 1047, SB 1049, SB 1053, SB 1054, SB 1108, SB 1132, SB 1140, SB 1198, and others received no testimony or no opposition. The Department of Finance had no file or specific comments on the measures before the committee.
With no questions or objections from members on any item, each bill was moved to the suspense file. After a brief recess and the arrival of Senator Wahab, the committee recorded her presence and then concluded the agenda and adjourned.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met in quorum and heard a large suspense-file agenda, with authors on most bills waiving presentation and the Department of Finance declining comment. The committee repeatedly took brief public testimony limited to fiscal impacts, then moved most measures to suspense without objection. Bills sent to suspense included SB 867, 868, 869 (with opposition from the California Restaurant Association), 934, 1202, 907, 1262, 923, 1057, 955, 1046, 1237, 970, 972, 978, 1105, 991, 1015, 1021, 1222, 1023, 1261, 1030, 1039, 1042, 1052, 1077, 1114, 1149, 1160, 1342, 1399, 1422, 1161, 1166, 1330, 1191, 1378, 1197, 1220, 1255, 1394, and 1420.
The committee also heard SB 1106 by Senator Cabaldon, which would shorten the deadline for data brokers to comply with deletion requests from 45 days to 30 days. Senator Cabaldon said the change would not create new costs beyond routine regulatory updates, and no opposition was presented. The committee approved SB 1106 on a 5-0 vote and placed it on call before the final vote was completed.
Several suspense-file bills drew limited support testimony from advocacy groups, including SB 1052 from The Arc and United Cerebral Palsy California Collaboration and LARC, SB 1422 from the California Undocumented Higher Education Coalition, and SB 1255 from the Campaign for College Opportunity. After completing the agenda, the committee finalized SB 1106 with a 5-0 do pass vote to the Senate floor and then adjourned.

Most measures were taken up with waived presentations, brief public testimony, and then moved to suspense without objection.
Several bills received author presentations and discussion. SB 872 by Senator McNerney proposed a long-term funding mechanism for Delta levee and State Water Project canal repairs, with strong support from water agencies, environmental groups, and regional coalitions emphasizing flood risk, water reliability, and protection of state assets; the bill was moved to suspense. SB 962 by Senator Archuleta would authorize, but not require, blue emergency lights on parole vehicles; supporters from the parole officers’ union cited officer safety and the death of parole agent Joshua Bird, and it too was moved to suspense. SB 950 by Senator Richardson would require coverage of FDA-approved medically necessary treatments for early-onset Alzheimer’s disease; the committee noted the estimated premium impact was minimal and voted 7-0 for due pass to the Senate floor, while asking the author to consider a sunset amendment.
The committee also heard testimony on SB 1123, where the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce and the California Manufacturers and Technology Association opposed the measure on policy grounds, but it was still sent to suspense. SB 1069 and SB 1138 drew support from the California Manufacturers and Technology Association and Silicon Valley Clean Energy, respectively. The remaining suspense-file bills on the agenda were largely taken up in sequence with no opposition or committee questions and were moved to suspense without objection, and the meeting adjourned after the agenda was completed.

Summary:
The Senate Committee on Appropriations met with a quorum and heard a large suspense-file agenda, with the Department of Finance declining to comment on any of the measures. The chair reminded witnesses to focus on fiscal impacts. Most bills were taken up quickly because authors had waived presentation and there was no public testimony or committee discussion; those measures were moved to the suspense file without objection, including SB 867, SB 868, SB 934, SB 869, SB 1202, SB 907, SB 1262, SB 923, SB 1057, SB 955, SB 1046, SB 1237, SB 970, SB 972, SB 978, SB 1105, SB 991, SB 1015, SB 1021, SB 1222, SB 1023, SB 1261, SB 1030, SB 1039, SB 1042, SB 1052, SB 1077, SB 1114, SB 1149, SB 1160, SB 1342, SB 1399, SB 1422, SB 1161, SB 1166, SB 1330, SB 1191, SB 1378, SB 1197, SB 1220, SB 1255, SB 1394, and SB 1420.
The committee briefly heard testimony on a few measures. SB 869 drew opposition from the California Restaurant Association, while SB 1052 and SB 1255 received support from advocates including The Arc and United Cerebral Palsy California Collaboration, The Arc California, and the Campaign for College Opportunity. SB 1422 also received support from the California Undocumented Higher Education Coalition. No opposition was recorded on those supportive measures, and no substantive committee debate was noted.
Senator Cabaldon presented SB 1106, which would shorten the deadline for data brokers to comply with a user’s request to delete personal data from 45 days to 30 days. He stated the bill would have no fiscal impact beyond routine regulatory system updates. The committee adopted a due-pass motion on SB 1106, voting 5-0 to send it to the Senate floor, and then placed the item on call for additional members to add on before later closing the roll with a final 5-0 vote. The meeting then adjourned.
