Process notes: Several measures were placed on call and taken in sequence; the clerk read calls and the Secretary recorded roll-call tallies. The transcript records multiple unanimous or near-unanimous concurrence votes (for example: "Ayes 39, No 0" on several items), as well as divided roll calls on a subset of bills. Some bills, including AB 4 95 (family preparedness) and AB 10 64 (LEAD for Kids Act), drew lengthy floor debate and are covered in separate articles.
What this means: Concurrence in Assembly amendments is a common step in the final legislative process. For each bill the Senate concurred in Assembly amendments, the bill will return to the Assembly to confirm identical language; if both houses agree, it will be sent to the governor for signature or veto.
Selected actions (representative): - Motion: Concur in Assembly amendments to SB 369 (motion recorded; outcome: concurred; tally in transcript: ayes 39, no 0). - Motion: Concur in Assembly amendments to SB 524 (motion recorded; outcome: concurred; tally: recorded in roll). - Motion: Concur in Assembly amendments to AB 13 32 (medical cannabis access for seriously ill patients) (concurred; recorded roll call showed broad support).
The full floor record shows dozens of additional concurrence votes. Several items were moved to inactive file at the request of authors, and a number of procedural motions (suspending joint rules to allow late amendments/hearings) were approved by the Senate.
