The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors cast votes on several substantive items during its July 29, 2025 meeting. The following is a concise summary of formal actions and outcomes recorded during the session.

Votes taken
- Item 14 — Ordinance drafting on concealed law‑enforcement identity (unincorporated areas): Motion to direct county counsel to draft an ordinance prohibiting law‑enforcement officers from concealing their identities while interacting with the public; limited exceptions requested for required protective gear. Vote: 4 yes, 0 no, 1 abstain (Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstained). County counsel warned of likely legal challenges on federal preemption grounds.

- Item 16 — Protecting Medicaid enrollee privacy after reported federal data sharing: Motion to direct county counsel, in consultation with relevant departments, to explore legal remedies (including joining State of California litigation) and report back. Vote: unanimous (5‑0). County staff and public‑health leaders reported clinic cancellations and rising no‑show rates after public reporting of federal actions.

- Item 17 — Advance master plan for the General Hospital campus (Centennial Project): Motion to proceed with master planning, environmental review and community engagement with Centennial Partners to redevelop the historic General Hospital and West Campus into a “Healthy Village” with housing and behavioral‑health services; Supervisor Solis committed $3.32 million in discretionary funds to support planning. Vote: unanimous (5‑0).

- Administrative set matter — Weekly budget update briefings: Motion to create a recurring weekly CEO briefing on the fiscal outlook and make the item a set matter for the board. Vote: unanimous approval (5‑0).

Other outcomes
- Item 29 (streamlining mental‑health and substance‑use disorder bed reporting): Board received departmental report back and approved the draft reporting framework to produce consolidated biannual reporting on bed capacity, utilization and settlement compliance (received and filed).
- Item 37 (status of the Probation Department and depopulation plan): Board received the department report; supervisors continued oversight and requested ongoing updates as receivership and court matters evolve (received and filed).

Context and next steps
County counsel was directed to return with ordinance language on item 14 within 60 days and to provide legal analysis for item 16 within approximately one month; departments were also directed to provide implementation updates on planning item 17 and on consolidated behavioral‑health bed reporting. Several items generated strong public comment, including from immigrant‑rights organizations, health providers, labor unions and neighborhood advocates.

Ending
These votes set the county on multiple near‑term tracks: legal review and possible litigation on privacy protections, ordinance drafting that may face federal preemption litigation, and multi‑year planning for housing and behavioral‑health services at the General Hospital campus.
