Assembly approves routine motions, re-referrals and suspensions of rules before joint convention
Summary
Before convening a joint convention for the governor's State of the State, the Assembly approved motions by unanimous consent to dispense with reading the prior journal, suspend select Assembly rules to allow guests and re-refer multiple bills to committee; the Assembly later returned and adjourned to its next scheduled floor session.
The California State Assembly conducted several routine procedural actions on Sept. 12, 2025, before recessing for a joint convention to hear the governor's State of the State address. Majority Leader Agi R. Curry moved to dispense with the reading of the previous day’s journal, and Miss Sanchez seconded; the motion was approved "without objection."
Curry then requested unanimous consent to suspend Assembly Rule 118 to allow guests on the floor and at the rostrum; the Assembly approved the request "without objection." Pursuant to Assembly Rules 96, 97 and 56, the majority leader also moved to re-refer or notice several bills to different committees for hearings, specifying committee hearing dates and pending rereferrals. Among the bills named were AB 277 (Alanis), AB 710 (Irwin), AB 739 (Jackson), AB 748 (Harbidian), AB 874 (Veil Farias), AB 673 (Jackson), AB 946 (Brian), AB 892 (Schultz), AB 501 (Pappan), AB 871 (Stephanie), AB 1159 (Addis), AB 1382 (Castillo) and AB 362 (Ramos). The transcript records these procedural referrals and notices as ordered "without objection."
After the joint convention concluded, the Assembly returned to regular session, set its schedule (floor session Monday, Jan. 12 at 1 p.m.), and Majority Leader Agi R. Curry moved (with Miss Sanchez seconding) that the chamber stand adjourned; the motion carried and the Assembly adjourned.
