Votes at a glance: Higher Education Committee moves multiple measures, one fails for lack of votes
Summary
The Assembly Higher Education Committee moved several bills (including AB 1636, AB 1784, AB 1920, AB 2121, AB 2229 and AB 2660) out of committee or to subsequent referral while AB 1852 failed for lack of sufficient roll-call votes during the hearing.
The Assembly Higher Education Committee concluded a multi-item hearing and recorded roll-call actions on its agenda.
Key committee actions recorded on the hearing record included do-pass recommendations and referrals for multiple bills: AB 1636 (data-sharing pilot to create ready-to-enroll records) was moved out of committee as amended and referred to education; AB 1784 (pregnancy protections for undergraduates) and AB 1920 (technical fix to the California College Promise) were moved out of committee; AB 2121 (community college backfill carve-out) was advanced to Appropriations; AB 2229 (CSU EARNS program) was referred to Appropriations; and AB 2660 (codify STEM pipeline programs) was moved to re-refer to education.
A handful of measures were decided on the spot: during add-ons and roll-call activity, the chair noted AB 1852 (a proposal to authorize a local medical-degree option in Kern County) had three ayes and seven not voting and declared the measure failed for lack of votes.
Individual roll-call transcripts are part of the official committee record. The committee kept the roll open for additional add-ons and will reconvene business in future hearings.
