Event Log
AB754 — AB 754 is taken up as the committee’s sole agenda item for concurrence with Senate amendments.

The presentation emphasizes that the bill preserves renter protections while supporting marina viability, notes broad local support, and concludes with a request for an aye vote. Public comment is then closed after it is noted that there is no registered opposition.
