Votes at a glance: Assembly passes AB 385, AB 1119, SB 351, SB 697 and more
Summary
On Aug. 6, 2025 the Assembly voted to concur on AB 385 and AB 1119 and approved several Senate bills on the third‑reading file, including SB 351 and SB 697; a number of other measures were passed and retained on file or placed on the consent calendar.
The California State Assembly moved and passed multiple bills on the Aug. 6 floor session.
AB 385 (presented by Assemblymember Ramos) returned from the Senate with technical amendments; Assemblymember Ramos asked for an aye vote and the clerk recorded Ayes 57, No 0, indicating concurrence with the Senate amendments.
AB 1119 (presented by Assemblymember Patel) instructs the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing to develop efficient pathways for current and aspiring teachers to obtain dual credentials; Assemblymember Patel said recent Senate amendments removed a duplicative working group and kept stakeholder input while eliminating associated costs. The clerk recorded Ayes 57, No 0 and the Senate amendments were concurred in.
SB 351 (presented by Assemblymember Patel on behalf of Senator Cabaldon) passed the Assembly with a roll call recorded as I 61, No 0. The bill was described on the floor as strengthening enforcement against non‑physician interference in medical practice and protecting providers from gag and noncompete clauses.
SB 697 (presented by Assemblymember Pappen) was described as modernizing stream adjudication by allowing the State Water Resources Control Board to use technology, including drones, to investigate water rights claims; the clerk recorded Ayes 55, No 0.
SB 346 (presented by Assemblymember Bauer Kehan on behalf of Senator Durazo) was presented to empower local governments to collect correct TOT and require platforms to provide property information; the clerk recorded Ayes 15, No 0. The Assembly passed and retained many other items on file and placed multiple measures on the consent calendar for a later day.
Procedural motions taken earlier in the session included a unanimous consent to dispense with the previous day’s journal reading (moved by State majority leader Garcia and seconded by Mister Lackey) and a motion to adjourn the House until Sept. 2, moved by the majority leader and seconded by Patterson. The Assembly adjourned after lifting the quorum call.
Where floor debate included quantitative claims (for example, an estimate offered on the floor that roughly 72% of short‑term rentals in Los Angeles County operate without permits), those figures were presented as estimates and not sourced during the remarks recorded on the floor.
