Summary:
The Assembly convened after a quorum call, prayer, and pledge, then handled a series of procedural motions, including suspending rules to withdraw SB 104 and SB 138 from Budget and Fiscal Review and to allow several committees to notice bills. Members also introduced guests and honorees, including Equality California Comcast Fellows, tribal youth from the Yohavitham Nation, a legislative fellow, a Chinese language school delegation, local elected officials, staff, and an intern shadowing an Assembly member.
On the floor file, the Assembly concurred in Senate amendments to AB 1216 (education omnibus technical changes), AB 377 (high-speed rail), and AB 951 (health care coverage), all by unanimous or near-unanimous votes. The body also adopted ACR 103 designating California Western Monarch Protection Week and ACR 71 designating a portion of Highway 101 as the Little Saigon Freeway, both after supportive remarks about environmental conservation and Vietnamese American history. AJR 18, an apology and acknowledgment of historic harms against California Native Americans, drew extensive bipartisan and caucus support and was adopted with 68-0 after 66 coauthors were added.
The most contentious debate came on SCR 66, proclaiming Law Day, where members argued over the rule of law, executive power, and recent court fights involving both the Trump administration and Governor Newsom; the resolution was ultimately adopted after 51 coauthors were added. The Assembly also adopted SJR 3 urging Congress to oppose SNAP cuts, with debate focused on food insecurity, fraud, and work requirements; it passed 69-0 after 70 coauthors were added. SB 757, authorizing local governments to use nuisance abatement liens and special assessments to collect cleanup costs, passed 68-0, and the second-day consent calendar, including ACR 94 on antimicrobial resistance, was adopted.
The session concluded with multiple adjournments in memory, including tributes to Jane Day, agricultural leader John C. Harris, and Willie Earl Arno. The Assembly then announced committee meetings and upcoming check-in and floor session dates before adjourning until Thursday, July 17, at 9 a.m.

Summary:
The Assembly met after a quorum call and opened with a prayer marking the 80th anniversary of Hiroshima, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and several guest introductions, including a recognition of UC Merced’s 20th anniversary. Members then moved through the Daily File, with several items passed or retained on file, and took up concurrence votes on a number of bills.
Among the measures discussed, AB 385 on park property and AB 1119 on teacher credentialing both received unanimous concurrence in Senate amendments. SB 351, dealing with health practices and enforcement of California’s corporate practice of medicine rules, was presented as a way to protect physician decision-making from private equity and hedge fund interference and passed 61-0. SB 697 on water rights adjudication and use of technology, including drones for investigations, also passed unanimously.
The most detailed debate centered on SB 346, which would help local governments enforce short-term rental ordinances and collect transient occupancy taxes by requiring platforms to provide property information. Supporters argued it would improve local control, public safety, and revenue collection, while members with local government experience described the difficulty cities face regulating short-term rentals. The bill passed 50-0. The chamber then moved to adjournment-in-memory remarks honoring Miguel Antonio Cano, Vincent Dino, Andrew Meredith, and Erica Hoffman, before adjourning until Tuesday, September 2 at 1 p.m.

Summary:
The Assembly convened after a quorum call, prayer, and pledge, then moved through a long floor session focused heavily on budget trailer bills, labor agreements, housing, environmental review, and several resolutions. Members also introduced visiting guests, including family members, district staff, Mandela Washington Fellows, and UC Berkeley public policy students. Procedural motions were taken up early, including a successful roll-call vote to suspend rules so certain budget-related bills could be heard without reference to file.
The chamber approved several major budget measures. SB 129, the labor trailer bill, passed 56-4 after supporters said it made technical budget adjustments, funded collective bargaining, supported In-Home Supportive Services, and addressed pension and project-related issues. SB 131, the public resources and housing trailer bill, passed 50-3 after extensive debate over homelessness funding, CEQA exemptions, advanced manufacturing, high-speed rail, rural access to funds, tribal consultation, and environmental protections; multiple members voiced support while also urging follow-up changes. The Assembly also adopted SB 139, implementing agreements for professional and operating engineers, by 69-1, and SB 140, implementing the correctional officers’ agreement, by 71-0. Later, AB 130, the housing trailer bill, was taken up on concurrence in Senate amendments after a successful rule suspension; members discussed tribal consultation protections, CEQA reform, prevailing wage, and vehicle miles traveled provisions, with debate continuing as the transcript ended.
The Assembly also concurred in Senate amendments to AB 927, extending the Williams inspection window for certain school districts, which passed 70-0. In addition, ACR 16 naming the 10th Street Bridge the POW/MIA Bridge passed 70-0. AJR 9, urging full and consistent federal funding for the National Park Service, drew broad bipartisan support and passed 66-0 after members highlighted California parks’ economic and cultural importance. HR 47, recognizing the Fourth of July and the Declaration of Independence, prompted extended remarks on democracy, civics, immigration, military service, and community celebrations before being adopted by voice vote with 64 co-authors added. The consent calendar was also adopted 64-0.
