AB1416 — Identified as File Item Number 4 and eligible for a vote during regular order of business.

The chair asks for opposition testimony, hears none, returns the bill to the dais, and then the committee proceeds to a due pass motion. AB 1416 passes the committee 7-0 and the committee moves on to the next item.
Kate Sanchez — Referred to as Vice Chair in connection with AB 1416; the transcript audio/text appears to mangle the author name as 'Mr. Ta, three Ta.'

AB564 — AB 564 is introduced for hearing and then presented by the author as a measure to freeze the cannabis excise tax at its current 15% rate, rather than cutting existing tax revenue. Supporters describe the bill as necessary relief for California’s struggling cannabis industry and argue it is simply a freeze, not a tax break. Opposition witnesses counter that the bill would reduce critical funding for youth, environmental, and other programs tied to Prop. 64, break the revenue-neutral agreement with voters, and is not merely a freeze. The discussion ends with witnesses urging members to vote no on AB 564.
AB564 — AB 564 is taken up as the first suspense-file bill, with the chair recommending an aye vote and due pass as amended, including a five-year sunset, rate reduction, and Section 41 requirement.
