Summary:
The Assembly Education Committee held an informational hearing on AB 715, followed by discussion of SB 48. AB 715 was presented by Assembly Members Zbur and Addis as a response to rising anti-Semitism in California schools. They described incidents involving harassment, swastikas, biased classroom materials, and students feeling unsafe, and said the bill would create an Office of Civil Rights with coordinators to address anti-Semitism and other forms of discrimination, provide prevention resources, and support school districts. Witnesses in support, including a rabbi and a student who described personal experiences with anti-Semitic harassment, urged immediate action to protect Jewish students.
Opposition testimony came from the California Teachers Association, county superintendents, school board groups, labor organizations, civil liberties advocates, ethnic studies educators, and many community members. Their main concerns were that the bill was rushed, had not been fully vetted in the Assembly Education Committee, and could chill classroom speech or create constitutional problems, especially around language requiring instruction and materials to be “factually accurate” and not based on advocacy, bias, or partisanship. Several opponents argued that anti-Semitism should be addressed through education, training, and restorative practices rather than new statutory restrictions. Some witnesses also raised concerns about the bill’s impact on ethnic studies and free speech.
Committee members then debated the bill’s process and substance at length. The authors said the bill had been narrowed through negotiations with education stakeholders and the Senate, that some disputed provisions would be revisited in cleanup language, and that the urgency of anti-Semitic incidents required action now. Several members expressed support for the bill’s goal but criticized the late release of the final language and the lack of consultation with the Assembly committee. Others emphasized the need to protect Jewish students immediately and argued the bill was a necessary response to a real crisis. The transcript does not show a final vote on AB 715 in the portion provided.

Summary:
The Senate Health and Welfare Committee considered two Medicaid rule dockets from the Department of Health and Welfare. The first docket repealed the consumer-directed services chapter that had been inadvertently omitted from last session’s House Bill 345 Medicaid rule consolidation, with the understanding that the same material would be incorporated into the consolidated Medicaid rules. The committee asked for confirmation that no substantive policy changes were being made in the repeal-and-replace process, and the docket was adopted on a voice vote.
The second docket, Medicaid plan benefits, consolidated Medicaid provisions into a single chapter and updated the rules by removing duplicative or outdated language, aligning case management and personal care provisions with appropriations and other services, reverting one definition to federal guidance, removing references to programs now supported in the provider handbook or state plan, and adding speech-language pathology assistants as providers. Senators noted the document was lengthy and discussed the need for transparency and stakeholder input in rulemaking. The department said the docket contained no new policies beyond the consumer-directed services material and the listed cleanup changes.
Senator Wintrow raised a stakeholder concern about psychological evaluation timelines affecting payment for providers serving individuals with disabilities. A provider testified that psychologist shortages and long wait times, sometimes four to seven months, delay eligibility determinations and reimbursement, and asked the department to work on a solution. The department said the policy itself was unchanged but was willing to continue discussions during the interim. The committee then approved the Medicaid plan benefits docket, including the temporary and pending rule, by voice vote and adjourned after a brief announcement about a future rule-process presentation.

Senate Children, Families, and Elder Affairs
Summary:
The committee met with a quorum present and took up several bills. SB 894, relating to faith-based content in batterers’ intervention programs, was explained as allowing certified programs to offer voluntary faith-based components alongside existing models. Members raised questions about how faith would be defined, whether participation would be optional, and how all faiths would be included. An amendment was adopted clarifying that faith-based activities may be offered but not required and removing language directing DCF to repeal a rule. After supportive testimony from faith-based advocates and some debate, the committee reported the bill favorably, with Senators Harrell and Garcia later recording affirmative votes.
The committee then considered SB 1240 on substance abuse and mental health care, which would assign state oversight of the 988 Lifeline, remove the annual needs assessment barrier for medication-assisted treatment licensing, and require annual continuing education for forensic evaluators. An amendment with technical conforming changes and two substantive clarifications was adopted. Members expressed support for expanded access to behavioral health services, and the bill was reported favorably.
Later, the chair presented SB 1736, which would allow direct support professionals and relatives to administer insulin in group home settings for individuals with developmental disabilities. After an amendment clarifying sliding scale insulin and related medication administration, the committee heard testimony from family advocates describing how the bill would prevent unnecessary institutionalization and reduce costs. The bill was reported favorably. The committee also passed SB 1286, which clarifies that allowing children to engage in unsupervised activities such as biking or playing outside does not by itself constitute neglect unless reckless or dangerous. After brief support testimony, that bill was also reported favorably, and the meeting adjourned.
