The California State Assembly convened on March 28, 2025, for an Assembly Floor Session, where several key discussions and resolutions were addressed. The meeting began with a guest introduction by Assemblymember Connolly, who welcomed the Marin City Youth Leadership program to the state capital. Connolly emphasized the importance of empowering young leaders with essential skills and encouraged the youth to remain engaged in public service and advocacy.
Following the guest introduction, the Assembly moved on to the second day consent calendar. The clerk read resolutions for consideration, including Assembly Concurrent Resolution 39, which focuses on raising awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous People, and Assembly Concurrent Resolution 53, which addresses Women's Equal Payday. Members were invited to add their names as co-authors to these resolutions, resulting in a total of 59 co-authors.
The Assembly then proceeded to vote on the consent calendar. Item 66 was removed, but no further items were contested. The resolutions were adopted with a unanimous vote of 62 in favor and none against. The clerk subsequently read the remaining items on the consent calendar, all of which passed with the same unanimous support.
The session concluded with a call for adjournments in memory, allowing members to pay their respects to colleagues and others who had passed. Assemblymember Hart was recognized to speak on this matter, marking a respectful end to the proceedings.
Overall, the session highlighted the Assembly's commitment to youth empowerment and social justice issues, as well as the collaborative spirit among its members in supporting significant resolutions.
