The Assembly Judiciary Committee passed the measure after testimony from emergency-medicine groups, psychiatric physicians and county behavioral-health officials.

Krell told the committee that emergency departments face severe overcrowding and long waits for psychiatric placement because only certain county-designated professionals or law enforcement can now place a person on a 5150 hold. “AB 416 authorizes emergency room physicians to initiate the 5150 holds, which will allow patients in crisis to get the specialized care that they need faster,” she said.

Tim Madden, representing the California chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians and a co-sponsor, said emergency physicians already assess behavioral-health crises and that giving them authority — where counties opt in — would shorten delays in finding LPS‑designated beds and ease ER bottlenecks.

Opponents included representatives of the California State Association of Counties, the County Behavioral Health Directors Association and rural county groups, which said they appreciated amendments but remained concerned about implementation, training and county-level control. One county representative said the provisions as amended did not address all rural capacity and process concerns.

Committee members acknowledged the trade-offs. Some members expressed concern about overuse of involuntary holds, particularly for juveniles, but said the bill’s county opt-in structure and added guardrails made them more comfortable. The committee approved AB 416 and sent it forward.","AB 416 would authorize emergency room physicians to initiate 72‑hour psychiatric holds under Welfare & Institutions Code 5150 in counties that choose to designate them; supporters argued it will speed care and free beds, while counties and behavioral health directors expressed concerns.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568300,"Bill to require translations of eviction notices, summons and complaints advances amid landlord concerns",1222,11822000,13044000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a&start=11822&end=13044","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a/thumbnail_11822000.jpg","/articles/6568300/California/Bill-to-require-translations-of-eviction-notices-summons-and-complaints-advances-amid-landlord-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568300-271ef4bf5d9153c103ed9966e10c1347/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523954&Signature=j9rWYrjQ2V7AeDMC6AYC0O84piDwA5bDaFOC5p5s9GCeDDLpFIC65XGdnsmvYW5rFwU2OOu6-SWksbEmYSR2BRTbSgBzemOfcWyISdG8P0Fd5-spH03zsLrYYsvf2NLnUMLsxWpko17-ugz8LTjx8Q~Dj8BgorUW7gUrDEHVDSxWXjMTqISVNpO13zVmaO0In3bNOxZ1Fp3g8eAP~m8noVeILh7R2ZbF-8FNgfwvVCaste~BRWU5JwzbJ9uULJ6f76JtHZNbY-KQIgj1yLdD1BGX5d8qshPYvWGrrqgl~nw1a~cB8fG~D4EzYBoHs5L6dhHfThEKoe4XNaraGgzNoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assemblymember Cara’s AB 863, a proposal to require translated eviction-related documents in five non-English languages (Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese and Korean) for tenants who negotiated leases in those languages or who previously notified a landlord of their primary language, advanced from the Assembly Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.

The author said California’s existing contract-translation requirements already apply to leases, but critical follow-up documents such as notices, summons and complaints are not uniformly translated, leaving limited-English-proficient tenants at a disadvantage. “This bill addresses that issue by requiring translations if a landlord has been previously notified that the tenant’s primary language is Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, or Korean,” the author said.

Supporters including Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California, community legal aid groups and immigrant-rights organizations described cases in which limited-English tenants did not understand eviction documents and lost housing without an opportunity to respond. An attorney from the group recounted a client who was served only English court papers and ultimately lost a judgment because the court would not set it aside.

Opposition came from landlord and property-owner groups including the California Apartment Association and the California Business Properties Association. They argued the measure imposes unrealistic translation costs and operational burdens on property owners — particularly small owners — and risks increasing litigation and delays in the eviction process. Associations noted local ordinances and court systems in some jurisdictions already provide translations and suggested a state-run repository of translated template forms as an alternative.

The committee adopted amendments to narrow the circumstances under which translations are required and to encourage use of translated standard forms where available. Lawmakers said they will continue technical work with stakeholders on implementation details. The bill advanced.","AB 863 would require landlords to provide eviction notices, summons and complaints in five commonly spoken non-English languages when leases were negotiated in those languages or the landlord was notified; landlords’ groups warned of cost, operational complexity and potential delays.",{"_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},6568305,"Committee advances measure to give businesses a limited ‘right to cure’ ADA construction violations after CASP inspections",2660,5160000,7820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a&start=5160&end=7820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a/thumbnail_5160000.jpg","/articles/6568305/California/Committee-advances-measure-to-give-businesses-a-limited-right-to-cure-ADA-construction-violations-after-CASP-inspections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568305-f1afadc3ab60351d81fb1dc172bd956e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523954&Signature=XzVgakncNTvqz33xiAuTHhm5H7yqdGB3ISVpZWPP4QtWDlvgZz5AhgHhbcOXTwP7f~uiy-~VEm2rL7~spktgYrDAukab4iunKC2Jr3r-aMW37e6ecshVxP54e-v38JvMMtixdYUrWX286WJpTJyZRZmiK7ao-QQCGkiJoYlOGuswM8CzZrQz1NCkCZl0EqHdGBCL545KJnNUeLyKRIpKqCekrMw07dUYURWSlA2CXLikwA9pWK5IYqizYHCOdQC-utw9aeQ4h8Z85mrCiorpgI1Q1Ou0ET~65AEUPR-zrUf~M0aNgfHEmdFt3i0HSdxe79Ne0LNEMQozrja3Gj2ivA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assemblymember Alastair Lowenthal’s AB 649, a proposal to give businesses a limited window to fix construction-related accessibility violations after a Certified Access Specialist (CASP) inspection, advanced from the Judiciary Committee after months of negotiation and amendments.

Lowenthal said the bill is designed to incentivize proactive compliance with accessibility standards without dismantling remedies for people with disabilities. “We want more businesses to take ADA compliance seriously and proactively make their businesses accessible,” he said, adding that CASP inspections and the time to remediate barriers can be costly for small enterprises.

Under the measure as amended, businesses that obtain a CASP inspection and correct identified construction-related violations would receive initial logistical protections and, within a limited period after certification, a 120‑day right to remedy any newly identified construction-related claims; the program includes a six‑year participation window and a sunset to allow legislative review.

Supporters, including Legal Aid groups and business owners who described facing prelitigation demands during charitable events, said the measure could reduce abusive lawsuit patterns from a small number of high-frequency litigants while preserving access protections. Chris Sweeney, a Long Beach restaurateur who testified, described settling an ADA complaint for $6,000 after receiving a demand even though the corrective step was minor.

Disability rights groups told the committee they were neutral after committee amendments that strengthened notice, maintenance and oversight requirements; they emphasized that litigation remains an essential enforcement tool and urged monitoring to ensure remedies result in real barrier removal. Committee members pressed on whether federal ADA claims would be curtailed; staff advised that fixing a state construction violation would generally also address parallel federal claims, and the author and advocates acknowledged edge cases where maintenance or later structural changes could again create exposure.

The committee accepted multiple technical changes and advanced the bill; the author and disability advocates plan continued engagement as the bill moves to the next committee.","AB 649 would create a pilot program granting businesses that obtain a Certified Access Specialist (CASP) inspection a time-limited right to correct construction-related ADA violations before facing litigation.

Sponsor Assemblymember Laura Bauer-Kahan said the bill does not change federal copyright law but provides a narrowly targeted transparency right so that creators — from voice actors to visual artists and musicians — can learn whether their work was used to train a model. “How does someone who owns a copyright ... exercise their rights in today's world where there are models that are being trained on those copyrighted works?” Bauer-Kahan asked the committee.

Voice and other creative professionals packed the hearing in support. Tim Friedlander, president of the National Association of Voice Actors, told the committee, “AI companies are profiting off of our life's work, and there's currently no law in place to stop them or even for us to find out if our work has been used to train their models.” Several artists and guild representatives testified the bill would be a practical first step to allow rights holders to determine whether they should pursue licensing or legal action.

Opponents included the California Chamber of Commerce, the Recording Industry Association of America and technology trade groups. They argued the bill overlapped with federal copyright law and ongoing litigation, could be preempted, and risked exposing proprietary training pipelines. The Chamber urged delay until the U.S. Copyright Office issues forthcoming guidance and warned of trade-secret claims and litigation risks.

Assembly staff and several members noted the bill aims to provide a lower-cost, administrative path for rights holders who otherwise cannot get that information without burdensome discovery. Attorney Travis Manfredi, who has litigated AI copyright cases, said courts often dismiss claims when plaintiffs cannot show use of a work and that the proposed disclosure mechanism fills that gap.

Committee members asked whether academic or noncommercial models should be exempted. The author accepted an amendment exempting models developed and used exclusively for noncommercial academic or government research; industry groups said the carve-out must be tightly drawn to prevent misuse. The committee passed the bill as amended and sent it forward.","AB 412 would let copyright holders request whether a generative AI model was trained on their works; creators backed the idea as a minimal transparency right, while tech and industry groups warned of trade-secret and preemption issues.",{"_33":125,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":126,"_41":127,"_43":128,"_45":129,"_47":130,"_49":131,"_51":132,"_53":133,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":134,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":135,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6568313,"Assembly advances bill to ban ‘surveillance pricing,’ sparking debate between retailers and consumer advocates",1625,2920000,4545000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a&start=2920&end=4545","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204338-0aac3769566306baf01a8cd4fec2971a/thumbnail_2920000.jpg","/articles/6568313/California/Assembly-advances-bill-to-ban-surveillance-pricing-sparking-debate-between-retailers-and-consumer-advocates","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6568313-1393f09479f050d15ec23f301b4e4179/orig.mp4?Expires=1770523954&Signature=N6OGzmtfnUd~bjqO0LHI1GlkqMJhnqruZLntgb5NhRoeNNqlQeLWnUWqziSmkTGrME0F6HJoO-pqVL3iHC-CcqGXWfingp-JJf~pl1J-KuIFVaI~ItKG4AfupKY4eCQxnCmiPiQZOpGIb~LvKU0OnZty6CztMks7kRSJNW1Ba48nIco5PQcrouD0hRmumyDiu-BcFjM-N3WWebV1CukLhEAk1KfpDeuTTMI3Nn6Fn1MxngNZkc8O~nkk-YtCFKySc8prtKPWXJRRmAU8p52k0VBVt~q~ygyq~A8z~~w0M5W4Hr~ppGfrnESCAmStDo6LZerKrEVLQ9Kz4O2IihbFhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assembly members on Tuesday passed AB 446, the Surveillance Pricing Protection Act, which makes it unlawful for businesses to use individualized \"surveillance pricing\" — pricing that changes for an individual consumer based on personal data collected about them — when charging different prices for the same product or service.

The bill’s author, Assemblymember Marc Ward, told the Judiciary Committee the practice is already in use and disproportionately harms lower-income shoppers. “This gives companies the ability to change some prices in real time according to a customer's individualized data profile. I maintain this is predatory. It's discriminatory,” Ward said.

Supporters, including Consumer Watchdog and the UFCW Western States Council, said the bill protects basic fairness in a marketplace increasingly driven by targeted algorithms. Kim Stone of Consumer Watchdog described the practice bluntly: “Surveillance pricing is a customized price based on data that is collected from surveilling you. That is what the bill prohibits.” Kristen Heidelbach of UFCW added examples of retail tech being rolled out at scale and warned that facial-recognition-enabled displays and electronic shelf labels can enable price discrimination.

Business groups including the California Chamber of Commerce and the California Retailers Association opposed the measure or urged major changes. Robert Muthrie of the Chamber argued the bill could force businesses into expensive litigation because it creates a private right of action and does not clearly limit the kinds of data uses that are covered. “Our real concern here is that the bill's language is not limited to the examples given and, in fact, will make us litigate to defend our choice to offer a discount,” he said.

Retailers and trade associations pressed the committee and the author to narrow the definition to target only individualized price increases — not routine discounts, loyalty pricing or legitimate inventory-based promotions — and to avoid exposing routine business decisions to private litigation.

Committee members pressed both sides on enforcement and the private right of action. Ward said private suits are intended to make harmed individuals whole and to deter abusive practices; he said he is open to exploring parallel enforcement pathways, such as district attorneys or the attorney general for systemic abuses.

The committee accepted a set of amendments intended to narrow some exemptions and clarify the scope of permitted discounts and loyalty pricing before approving the bill. The measure advanced to the next committee with a recorded vote.

Supporters said the bill strikes a balance between preserving legitimate promotional pricing and stopping covert, individualized price hikes that are keyed to a consumer's profile. Opponents said further technical work is needed to protect legitimate discounting programs and to avoid exposing businesses to defensive litigation.","Lawmakers approved AB 446, which bars businesses from using individualized surveillance data to set different prices for the same product; supporters called it protection for consumers, opponents warned it could prompt costly litigation and hurt discounts.","actionData","errors"]
