Assembly votes 46-8 to suspend final‑notice rule so Communications committee can hear AB 470 on June 23
Summary
The Assembly voted to suspend Joint Rule 62(a), enabling the Communications and Conveyance Committee to hear AB 470 (McKinner) on June 23. The motion required 40 votes and passed 46-8 after a roll call.
The California State Assembly voted 46-8 on June 2, 2025, to suspend Joint Rule 62(a) and allow the Communications and Conveyance Committee to hear AB 470 (McKinner) on Monday, June 23, upon adjournment of the session.
Majority Leader Aguirre Curry requested the suspension of the final‑notice requirement for the hearing; the motion was seconded by Assemblymember Ortega. The clerk opened a roll call, and the suspension passed by a 46-8 tally.
The vote followed an earlier floor action on the bill: the author asked that AB 470 be removed from the consent calendar, and the Assembly later recorded an order re‑referring the bill under Assembly Rule 77.2 to the Communications and Conveyance Committee. Prior to the roll‑call suspension, the Assembly also recorded a unanimous‑consent action withdrawing AB 470 from the Rules Committee and ordering the bill to the third‑reading file.
The suspension of Joint Rule 62(a) is a procedural step that removes the usual final‑notice requirement and permits a committee to schedule a hearing sooner than would otherwise be allowed. The Assembly clerk announced that the motion required 40 votes to pass; the final tally was recorded as 46 yes and 8 no.
No floor debate on the merits of AB 470 was recorded in the transcript during the procedural motions; the actions on June 2 were limited to calendar changes and the roll‑call vote to permit the committee hearing. The committee hearing on June 23 was ordered to take place after adjournment in Capitol Room 444, as stated during the floor proceeding.
