Nut graf: The Senate voted to adopt SB 26 with an urgency clause and to concur in Assembly amendments. The measure, as explained on the floor, narrows options created by AB 1755 by permitting certain manufacturers to return to the previous statutory process if they elect to do so. Supporters characterized the change as technical cleanup; opponents did not offer extended debate on the floor.

On the floor: Debate was brief. Senator Blakespear thanked the sponsor for the verbal explanation given on the floor, noting the paper had \"so little in the paper\" that floor explanation was useful. No additional substantive amendments were offered during floor remarks. The Senate then voted on the urgency clause and later on concurrence with Assembly amendments. The roll calls recorded 38 ayes and 1 no on the urgency motion; the bill and its amendments were concurred in by the same margin and moved forward.

Formal action: The Senate approved the urgency provision and concurred in Assembly amendments to SB 26; the actions recorded on the floor show the urgency vote carried (ayes 38, no 1). No subsequent amendments, effective dates beyond the urgency clause, or implementation scheduling were stated on the floor.

Context and limits: The sponsor framed SB 26 as a technical adjustment to recent Lemon Law reforms (AB 1755). The floor discussion did not include fiscal or implementation details, and the record does not show any second(s) to a named motion. The transcript does not specify which manufacturers, if any, had signaled intent to opt out, nor does it detail judicial or administrative impacts beyond the sponsor's summary.

Ending: With the urgency clause adopted and Assembly amendments concurred in, SB 26 advances under an expedited timetable. The bill's text and any conforming amendments will be the authoritative source for exact opt-out criteria and procedural effects; those specifics were not read in full on the floor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Senate Floor Session","oneSentenceSummary","Senator Josh Enberg brought SB 26 to the floor on April 1, 2025, describing the measure as \"the cleanup to the cleanup on Lemon Law.\"","taxTitle","California State Senate, Senate, Legislative, California","taxId",77650,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617132,"Votes at a glance: confirmations and consent calendar on April 1 Senate floor",1031,858000,1889000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2843492-d2d6bf9df276c708194f6794c4df1244&start=858&end=1889","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2843492-d2d6bf9df276c708194f6794c4df1244/thumbnail_858000.jpg","/articles/6617132/California/Votes-at-a-glance-confirmations-and-consent-calendar-on-April-1-Senate-floor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617132-2e971adbeeeb7f0eab3300cde67dc93b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178844&Signature=Bs5a60OS8gdRTA7AtCt~b0vEIZwwHwx39oVyEpLILYjgtRhKq90hPbxTGCM0vzg4Qv1D97RLQHiutft6z7djDF-HbYpAAYmoaN1CjrvvzG221Kw5zjSlch32XOw9pddVaD--dd7RpuCPj8U8SZBxxoThBHkQUHDW6g8k1CXWYxgVg9ai00JQvmtGlddCYmbZmbDSAyq4TXX3ZOGFnwhCANM0kzDdiALQwLnRjenQnda--YZTL5MYJBKostcvP5D-dF4OuNGw~GPPlPmz9GC9wM63vP4B-5d~tFIlLUTMvuJexxJXAccLrRywHi9PqTaFDE~0LKPnxV~OTZdQ7GsiQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several procedural and confirmation items were acted on during the April 1, 2025 Senate session.

On the floor the sponsor described the holiday's history and traditions, saying it \"symbolized renewal\" and recounted traditional ceremonies and community observances that continue among Assyrians worldwide and in California.

Nut graf: The Senate adopted SCR 22 as a cultural recognition. The sponsor underlined the long-standing presence of Assyrian communities in the state, noting churches, civic organizations, businesses and cultural centers that maintain and promote Assyrian heritage. Several named guests from the Syrian/Assyrian community were given privileges of the floor and introduced to members.

On the floor: Senator Alvarado asked members to welcome guests including \"Sam David, president of the Syrian American Civic Club; Carmen Murad, journalist and media personality from the Syrian Global Network; Janet Atanas from the Syrian Wellness Collaborative; John and Diana Ishmael; and representatives of the Syrian American Association of Southern California, Raymond Tochsch and Peter Warda.\" The sponsor said recognizing the holiday \"supports cultural preservation, educational dialogue, and the promotion of diversity,\" and requested an aye vote.

Formal action: The Senate recorded votes on the resolution and adopted it. The vote was taken by roll call and recorded as an affirmative adoption. The resolution is symbolic recognition and does not appropriate funds or change statute.

Ending: With SCR 22 adopted, the Senate memorialized the Syrian/Assyrian New Year and publicly acknowledged the contributions of Syrian American communities in California; the resolution encourages cultural visibility and preservation but does not create a program or funding stream on its own.","The Senate adopted SCR 22, formally recognizing the Syrian/Assyrian New Year (Khabbi Nisan) and calling attention to the state's Syrian American communities and cultural heritage; the resolution was accompanied by floor introductions of community guests.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6617141,"Senate adopts SCR 44 recognizing World Autism Awareness Day and urges action on services",540,1221000,1761000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2843492-d2d6bf9df276c708194f6794c4df1244&start=1221&end=1761","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2843492-d2d6bf9df276c708194f6794c4df1244/thumbnail_1221000.jpg","/articles/6617141/California/Senate-adopts-SCR-44-recognizing-World-Autism-Awareness-Day-and-urges-action-on-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6617141-39566dc05e9d3a58a3ed943677238980/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178844&Signature=Hc2aHDw6CN37cNvdTsPkS8qHEli1aOVBPPlxu96cXxr47QB4yOU3IxGne1oNwilmi04fx1iAf0347Kexw927J~oMvPZAnMiPFvSM62iL3Iklr5sktT~oTyhukz2e07g3jhv4gVcyGc5BDjUTiyZZQbezR9CDBuJwIqOTGi4qfrrHjp146X-MiXEdmjpBtx1V4QJQyK-vknoxqbTc94fFEKg9UPf9b1XkYH9ktFYCOQo8-ivU3el7i2Ha4g1PweAFYo-ET7U7DTeGLw1OAZ9ZK1d0TC62zq8ttuM7XoVG0BcPPjAf58a-BHrRyl79gY273f~zpOfnsIoy5qnyRo2QYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Senator Valadares introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 44 on April 1, 2025, asking colleagues to commemorate April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day and to recognize the needs of Californians with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). \"ASD continues to be one of the most common developmental disabilities affecting people in California,\" Valadares said, noting personal experience: \"For me, it's also personal. My niece was diagnosed with autism at the age of 2.\"

Nut graf: The resolution passed on the Senate floor and was presented as both a day of recognition and a call to legislative attention for services, education access, and workplace inclusion for people with autism. Supporters emphasized gaps in services, disparities in regional access, and the risk of harm from federal funding cuts.

Floor discussion: Senator Mangavar (remarks on personal connection and regional disparities) and Senator Weiner (warning about federal cuts) supported the resolution. Mangavar recounted local struggles with regional center services and said services are \"predominantly given to white parents and not parents of color,\" urging more investment in services and transportation to day programs. Weiner warned that reductions to Medicaid, the Department of Education, or Social Security would \"harm folks with autism dramatically\" and urged protecting those programs.

Formal action: The resolution was adopted on a recorded roll call (the transcript records an affirmative vote; the floor reported the resolution adopted). The text of SCR 44 recognizes April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day and calls attention to educational, health and employment barriers facing autistic Californians. The Senate record on the floor includes two numeric references cited by the sponsor: Valadares said \"4 in 100 boys and 1 in 100 girls are identified with ASD,\" and later a floor speaker said \"Only 21 percent of people with disabilities... are securing job opportunities.\" The resolution itself is symbolic and calls for awareness and policy attention; the floor debate highlighted priorities for expanded services and protection of federal supports.

Ending: With SCR 44 adopted, members said they will continue pursuing policy and budget actions to improve service access. The resolution does not by itself appropriate funds or change eligibility for programs; subsequent legislative or budget actions would be required to effect those changes.","The Senate unanimously adopted SCR 44, designating April 2 as World Autism Awareness Day in California. Sponsors and supporters used the floor to urge expanded services and protections for people with autism, raising concerns about federal program cuts and uneven regional services.","actionData","errors"]
