Judiciary Committee approves three BDR introductions to become bills
Summary
The Assembly Judiciary Committee voted to introduce three BDRs (14873, 31141 and 0870) for drafting into bills. The introductions were procedural votes to authorize bill drafting, not expressions of policy support.
At the start of the hearing the committee voted to introduce three bill draft requests (BDRs) for drafting into bills. Chair Miller explained that BDR introduction votes are procedural and do not indicate a member’s position on the substance of the proposed bill.
The committee approved:
- BDR 14873, described by the chair as revising provisions related to criminal convictions of certain victims. Motion: Vice Chair Marzola; second: Assemblymember Gonzales. The chair called for the vote and members responded "aye." The motion carried.
- BDR 31141, described by the chair as revising provisions relating to civil actions. Motion: Assemblymember Gonzales; second: Assemblymember Dahlia. The committee voted "aye" and the motion carried.
- BDR 0870, described by the chair as revising provisions related to courts. Motion: Vice Chair Marzola; second: Vice Chair Gonzales. The motion carried after the aye vote.
Ending: These votes authorized the Legislative Counsel Bureau to draft bills based on the BDRs; they were procedural introductions and do not indicate final committee positions on the subject matters.
