Votes at a glance: confirmations, procedural motions and awareness resolutions on the Senate floor
Summary
During the floor session the Senate approved confirmations for two departmental appointments, passed multiple ceremonial resolutions including Mosquito Awareness Week, and approved a procedural motion to advance budget committee measures to third reading.
Members of the California State Senate completed several procedural and confirmation votes during the floor session, including two administrative confirmations and adoption of short, nonbinding resolutions.
Senator Weiner moved to give measures reported by the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee a second reading upon reporting and to order them to third reading. The motion passed on a roll call. The transcript records "Eyes, 29. No 7. The motion carries." (roll-call sequence appears in the record.)
Senator Grove presented two gubernatorial appointments. Kristen Erickson Donadie (as presented on the floor) was confirmed for appointment to director of the Department of Child Support Services; the roll-call record in the transcript shows 36 ayes and 0 noes for that confirmation. Paula Wilhelm (as presented on the floor) was confirmed for appointment to deputy director for behavioral health in the Department of Health and Human Services (as stated on the floor); the roll-call record shows 36 ayes and 0 noes for that confirmation.
The Senate also adopted Senate Concurrent Resolution 49 recognizing Mosquito Awareness Week and noting local threats from dengue and West Nile virus; Senator Wahab presented the item and described locally transmitted dengue cases and the role of mosquito abatement agencies. The floor recorded the resolution as adopted by roll call.
The chamber approved the Senate journals for 04/01/2025 through 04/03/2025 as corrected by the minute clerk by unanimous consent earlier in the session.
These items were procedural or ceremonial in nature; none created new state budget appropriations or regulatory changes on their face.
