The California State Assembly filled its floor calendar with ceremonial recognitions, guest introductions, and routine business before adjourning for spring recess.
Assemblymember Davies presented ACR 152, proclaiming March 2026 as American Red Cross Month and thanked volunteers for disaster response and blood-supply work; the resolution drew 54 coauthors and was adopted by voice vote. “This resolution is about recognizing those everyday heroes, the volunteers who step forward,” Davies said.
Assemblymember Gabriel presented HR 90 recognizing Nowruz, the Persian New Year, noting its global observance and the emotional context for communities affected by recent hostilities; the resolution drew 60 coauthors and was adopted by voice vote. Gabriel said Nowruz is ‘‘a holiday of unity, of reflection, of rejuvenation’’ and respectfully asked for an aye vote.
