Assembly committee approves introduction of BDR S399 on peace officers
Summary
The Assembly Committee on Government Affairs voted to introduce BDR S399, a bill draft request concerning peace officers. The vote to introduce the BDR carried by voice vote after Assemblymember Wynne moved to introduce and Assemblymember DeLong seconded.
The Assembly Committee on Government Affairs voted to introduce BDR S399, a bill draft request concerning provisions related to peace officers, during a morning session of the committee. Vice Chair Assemblymember Wynne moved to introduce the BDR; Assemblymember DeLong seconded the motion and the chair called the voice vote. The motion carried.
Introduction of a BDR allows the proposal to become a bill and enter the legislative process; it does not indicate committee endorsement or predict future committee action. As the chair noted on the record, "voting in favor of introducing a BDR does not imply a commitment to supporting the measure later."
The committee proceeded with its agenda after the introduction vote. No further debate or public testimony on BDR S399 was recorded at the hearing.
