The California State Assembly convened on April 24, 2025, for its Assembly Floor Session, presided over by Speaker Pro Tempore Josh Lobendal. The session commenced with a moment of reflection led by Reverend Osha, who addressed the challenges facing society, including violence and environmental concerns. He honored the legacy of Pope Francis, emphasizing his advocacy for peace, compassion, and humanitarian efforts.

Following the prayer, the assembly conducted a roll call, confirming a quorum at 9:05 AM. The assembly then moved to dispense with the reading of the previous day's journal, with no presentations or petitions on the agenda.

In procedural motions, Majority Leader Agi R. Curry requested unanimous consent to suspend Assembly Rule 45.5, allowing Assembly Member Ziburr to speak on an adjournment in memory. This request was granted without objection. Additionally, several other procedural motions were made, including the withdrawal of Assembly Bill 16 from the Appropriations Committee for second reading, as it was no longer fiscal.

The assembly also addressed the scheduling of various bills for upcoming committee hearings, including those related to higher education and local government. Notably, the Utilities and Energy Committee was set to notice several bills for hearings on April 30.

The session concluded with a series of unanimous consent requests to re-refer specific bills to their respective committees, ensuring the legislative process continued smoothly. Overall, the meeting focused on procedural matters, with significant discussions surrounding the remembrance of influential figures and the scheduling of legislative business.
