Assembly withdraws SB 101 from Budget Committee; re-refers four bills by unanimous consent
Summary
On May 23, 2025, the California State Assembly approved a procedural request to withdraw SB 101 (Wiener) from the Budget Committee and order it to the reading file on a 47-17 roll-call vote, and approved re-referral of four other bills by unanimous consent.
The California State Assembly on May 23, 2025, approved a procedural motion to withdraw SB 101 (Wiener) from the Budget Committee and order it to the reading file, passing the motion by a roll-call vote of 47 to 17.
Majority Leader Agarra Curry introduced the request on the Assembly floor, saying, "Pursuant to assembly rule 96, I request unanimous consent to withdraw SB101 Wiener from the budget committee and order it to the reading file." Assemblymember Flora asked that the motion be put to a roll-call vote, and Assemblymember Garcia seconded the majority leader's motion. After the roll call, Clerk David A. Bowman reported, "Ayes 47, noes 17. The motion carries."
At the authors' request, the Assembly also moved two file items to the inactive file: AB 281 (Gallagher) and AB 794 (author listed as "Bridal" in the transcript). The clerk noted the request; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
During the same floor session, the majority leader asked unanimous consent to re-refer several bills to different committees. As stated on the floor, those re-referrals were: - SB 53 (Wiener): from the privacy and consumer protection committee to the judiciary committee, then back to the privacy and consumer protection committee, as stated in the transcript; - SB 456 (Ashby): from the Business and Professionals Committee to the Arts, Entertainment, Sports and Tourism Committee, then back to Business and Professionals Committee; - SB 582 (Stern): from the Health Committee to the Aging and Long-Term Care Committee, then back to the Health Committee; and - SB 703: from the Transportation Committee to the Labor and Employment Committee, then back to the Transportation Committee.
The Speaker ruled, "Without objection, such shall be the order," and the re-referrals were entered on the journal without recorded opposition.
These steps are procedural: the withdrawal of SB 101 from the Budget Committee and the re-referrals change where each bill will be considered next but do not themselves alter any bill text. The Assembly adjourned at the end of the session and scheduled to reconvene at 8 a.m. the following day.
