SACRAMENTO — The California State Assembly took roll‑call votes on numerous bills during its Thursday session. Below are the measures the clerk tallied on the floor, followed by the result recorded in the transcript and a one‑line description drawn from the author's floor remarks.

The bill creates a narrowly tailored victim‑centered exemption to electronic privacy rules to allow law enforcement to access unauthorized surveillance devices found in private spaces, the author said.
- AB 592 (Gabriel): Passed Aye 62, No 0. Supports outdoor dining by reducing permitting barriers for restaurants, the author said.

- AB 672 (Kolozha): Passed Aye 52, No 4. Requires public employers to notify the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) of certain court actions and allows PERB to intervene in specified cases; the transcript records substantial debate for and against expanding PERB's role.
- AB 876 (Flora): Passed Aye 56, No 1. Clarifies scope of practice for certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) and affirms authorization to deliver anesthesia services independently in specified settings; the author and committee chairs said they would continue working with opposition groups on language.
- AB 760 (Ta): Passed Aye 63, No 0. Allows mobile‑home parks to offer homes owned by the park for temporary rent to disaster‑impacted households for up to three years, the author said, limited to disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes.
- Remaining bill votes on the floor (consent calendar and remaining third reading items) were recorded on the transcript as adopted by the clerk with unanimous or near‑unanimous tallies; the transcript records multiple additional Aye/No tallies for consent items and resolutions (e.g., assorted resolutions with recorded "I 66, no 0" or similar roll calls) but did not include floor debate for many of those items.
Methodology and caveats: This roundup lists each bill the clerk read on the Assembly floor and for which the transcript recorded a roll‑call tally during the May 1 session. Descriptions are based on the floor remarks recorded in the transcript and do not substitute for the final bill text; any technical amendments occurring off the floor or in subsequent committee reports are not reflected here. If a tally in the transcript was ambiguous (for example, the clerk recorded "Ayes 58. Noes won. The measure passes"), the article reproduces the clerk's recorded tally text verbatim and flags it as reported from the floor.
