What members said

Assemblymember Bonta, author of AB 789 and AB 40, framed AB 789 as a step to remove a statutory tie to federal law so state regulators can \"review and protect consumers from unreasonable and unjustified rate increases.\" On AB 40 he described the bill as a \"simple clarification of law\" to ensure emergency reproductive health care is treated as emergency services.

Why it matters: The package covers consumer protections (insurance-rate oversight, litigation finance disclosure), tenant choice for internet service, health access for foster youth and emergency reproductive care — areas that affect many Californians' daily lives and state-regulated services.

Next steps: Passed bills will be sent to the governor for signature unless otherwise specified. The Assembly adjourned and scheduled floor sessions and committee meetings for the coming days.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Floor Session (1)","oneSentenceSummary","On April 24, 2025, the California State Assembly passed multiple bills spanning health care, tenant protections, juvenile and education measures.

Harbidian, the author and chair of the Armenian caucus, told colleagues the resolution honors the memory of those killed and calls for continued recognition of the historical facts. \"This is presented every year on this floor, and it is my honor to do it this year,\" he said, and recounted the historical account of mass killings and displacement in 1915–1923.

Members from both parties spoke in support of the measure, describing the resolution as an affirmation of historical truth and a signal of solidarity with Armenian communities in California. Assemblymember Tangipa said the measure recognized the ongoing impact on Armenian families and communities; Assemblymember Mark Gonzales, representing Montebello, noted local memorials and annual gatherings; Assemblymember Haney called the atrocities a \"crime against humanity\" and urged unequivocal recognition. Several members described recent events in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and continued concerns about detainees and displaced civilians.

The clerk opened the roll for co-authors; members added 70 co-authors \"without objection.\" The Assembly then took a voice vote. \"The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted,\" the presiding officer announced.

After adoption, Harbidian introduced dozens of Armenian Americans and community organizations in the gallery, including elected local officials and representatives of the Armenian National Committee of America and the Armenian Assembly of America. The Assembly observed a moment of silence and concluded the commemoration before returning to legislative business.

Why it matters: California has one of the largest Armenian American populations in the country and numerous local memorials and civic organizations that mark April 24 annually. Members framed the resolution as both remembrance and a statement against denial of historical atrocities.

The Assembly moved on to the remainder of its daily file following the ceremony.","The California State Assembly adopted House Resolution 25 on April 24, 2025, commemorating the 110th anniversary of the Armenian genocide and expressing solidarity with Armenian communities; the resolution drew multiple speeches from members across the aisle and was adopted after co-authors were added.","actionData","errors"]
