Appropriations Committee advances consent and suspense calendars; dozens of bills moved forward
Summary
The Assembly Appropriations Committee approved two consent-calendar motions and deemed the suspense calendar approved, advancing a long list of bills to the next legislative step; the transcript lists numerous bill numbers and sponsors but does not include roll-call tallies for each item in the excerpt provided.
At the start of the July 16, 2025 hearing, the Assembly Appropriations Committee chair said the panel would consider 51 bills as part of the regular order hearing and moved to dispense with the consent calendar in two separate motions.
The committee approved a motion to pass a set of bills to the Assembly consent calendar and a second motion to pass additional bills that are not eligible for the consent calendar; both motions were approved by roll call, according to the transcript. The chair then read a list of bills advanced on the two consent motions; the transcript lists many bill numbers and sponsors (examples transcribed during the hearing include: SB 280 (Cervantes), SB 344 (Weber-Pearson), SB 392 (Grayson), SB 482 (Weber-Pearson), SB 510 (Richardson), SB 517 (Nilo), SB 595 (Choi), SB 598 (Durazo), SB 650 (Cabaldon), SB 773 (Ashby), SB 852 (committee on elections and constitutional amendments), SB 856 (committee on natural resources and water), SB 861 (committee on business, professions and economic development)).
The committee then took up the suspense calendar. The clerk read a series of bill numbers for the suspense file; the transcript records that the “suspense calendar is deemed approved.” The hearing record in this excerpt does not include individual roll-call tallies or fiscal analyses for each bill listed on the consent or suspense calendars.
Ending: The committee advanced the two consent-calendar groups and deemed the suspense calendar approved; several bills were explicitly named in the transcript list but the excerpt does not contain full roll-call results or fiscal attachments for those items.
