Assembly approves suspension to allow hearing on AB 470; motion passes 46-8
Summary
The California State Assembly voted 46-8 on June 2 to suspend a final‑notice rule so the Communications and Conveyance Committee can hear AB 470 at its June 23 meeting after the bill was re‑referred to that committee.
The California State Assembly on June 2 voted 46-8 to suspend the final‑notice requirement so the Communications and Conveyance Committee can hear AB 470 at its committee meeting on June 23.
Majority Leader Aguiar Curry requested unanimous consent to suspend Joint Rule 62(a) to permit the committee hearing; the motion was seconded by Assemblymember Ortega. Clerk records show the roll was opened and the tally was 46 yes, 8 no. The presiding officer said the motion requires 40 votes.
Earlier in the same session members agreed without objection to suspend Assembly Rule 96 to withdraw AB 470 from the Rules Committee and place the bill on the third‑reading file. Later, pursuant to Assembly Rule 77.2, the Assembly re‑referred AB 470, authored by Assemblymember McKinner, to the Communications and Conveyance Committee; the subsequent suspension of Joint Rule 62(a) cleared the way for that committee to hear the bill on June 23 following adjournment.
The actions are procedural: the Assembly did not debate AB 470's substantive provisions on the floor during this session. The suspension of rules and re‑referral change the bill’s committee schedule and accelerate its path to committee consideration but do not enact policy.
Clerk minutes show the sequence of procedural steps and voting; no floor debate on the merits of AB 470 appears in the transcript for this day.
