The committee chair opened public comment specifically for AB 928 and instructed attendees to state their name, organization if any, and position on the bill. Dozens of speakers stepped to the microphone and stated opposition. Speakers included representatives of agricultural and feed businesses, members of the American Poultry Association and American Bantam Association, and numerous individuals who identified as members of APG, UGBA, Farmers’ Warehouse Company and local feed and supply businesses.

Examples from the hearing record include Eric Barrios (identified as representing “Tundra fees” in the transcript) stating opposition; Craig Angley from Tulare County stating opposition; Charles Philip Rutledge, identified as a board member of APG, stating opposition; and multiple speakers who identified themselves as owners or employees of feed suppliers and poultry associations. Several speakers said the bill threatened cultural or economic practices tied to poultry; others said it infringed on constitutional or religious rights. The transcript excerpt records repeated short statements — typically name, affiliation and “I oppose AB 928.”

The transcript does not include floor debate of AB 928 by committee members or a formal committee vote on the bill in the provided excerpt. Committee staff announced the public-comment sequence and the hearing concluded after the comment period recorded in the excerpt.

Why it matters: The number and diversity of commenters indicates strong organized opposition from agricultural, poultry and feed-supply stakeholders. The hearing record in this excerpt shows substantial public mobilization around AB 928 but does not record committee action on the bill.

What’s next: The committee did not record a formal vote on AB 928 in the provided excerpt; further committee action or amendments would appear on subsequent committee or floor calendars if scheduled.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Appropriations Committee","oneSentenceSummary","A large number of public commenters opposed AB 928 during the Appropriations Committee public-comment period on April 30, 2025.","taxTitle","California State Assembly, House, Legislative, California","taxId",17099,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6573555,"Panel advances AB 712 to increase penalties for public agencies that violate state housing laws",70,3052000,3122000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3159043-c87b118b137cfaec1a6bc8ac50811d2c&start=3052&end=3122","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3159043-c87b118b137cfaec1a6bc8ac50811d2c/thumbnail_3052000.jpg","/articles/6573555/California/Panel-advances-AB-712-to-increase-penalties-for-public-agencies-that-violate-state-housing-laws","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573555-b90f43371a2ecbac5256a974fee0e256/orig.mp4?Expires=1770489835&Signature=ZvgV675tOnTAz7~FNHx~otFhxroHItj2n4b8DGcIPYLYzSN-UR7OTUPmeWU9xA1yT3F83M1HgZxWjPOpTI9s28VyD7oxQZIsOcyMAxvQ1~aeWMYX38fFxidnZjgjrYVR6YZ3TL9-em63i~uXlsX~RE~v6WIrfXpVBmZBOCHyCjjpplj-v9uxswbDCE-CM60A3FR7nZsWYjibw09bUfCDITLemS6dwpL3cW7n1fUWlifF1saeT5qFnWoDt8NUfW2wUXXcOxZUuExbbvT1N1XfeUi85n8CMH0uneLwpxO5E7AqUYKjdvb7jJN5XL9zF8Tff5cL-8wnVvPfsqVS08EDrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced Assembly Bill 712 on April 30, 2025. The bill would increase penalties on public agencies that violate state housing laws by applying the same requirements that exist under the Housing Accountability Act to other state housing statutes and would end the practice of local agencies requiring housing applicants to indemnify the government against lawsuits arising from agency violations.

The bill’s presenter described AB 712 as an enforcement measure to make housing laws meaningful by providing consequences for noncompliance. The presenter said the bill is part of a fast-track housing package and described recent state efforts to make permitting easier and more predictable.

The committee record shows AB 712 was advanced; the transcript notes Republicans did not vote on the roll call while Assemblymembers Alanis and Ta recorded aye votes. The hearing excerpt did not include the full roll-call tally.

The presenter said the Department of Housing and Community Development would incur minor state costs to provide technical assistance and to inform local governments of compliance concerns.

Why it matters: Supporters argue that statutory requirements are ineffective without enforceable penalties; AB 712 would broaden enforcement tools used for housing law compliance and limit local indemnity requirements.

What’s next: The bill advanced out of Appropriations Committee and will continue through the legislative process; specific amendments or final vote counts were not recorded in the hearing excerpt.","AB 712 would apply enforcement measures similar to the Housing Accountability Act to other state housing laws and prohibit local governments from requiring developers to indemnify jurisdictions for lawsuits when the local agency violated applicants' rights.

AB 750 would strengthen state oversight of homeless shelters by standardizing reporting requirements, requiring shelters to post residents’ rights and reporting procedures, mandating reports even when no complaints are filed, and authorizing penalties for jurisdictions that fail to comply.

The bill’s presenter told the committee California has an estimated 13,000 homeless shelters and said compliance with an earlier shelter-accountability law (AB 362) has been low. The presenter cited a CalMatters investigation that found only five of California’s 58 counties and four of the state’s 478 cities submitted the reports required under existing law; the presenter noted Orange County had submitted a report.

AB 750 would require signage about residents’ rights and intake information, set reporting deadlines, and authorize penalties for noncompliance, including withholding state funding from jurisdictions that fail to report. The bill’s author described this as a stronger enforcement mechanism to ensure shelters meet basic health and safety standards.

The committee recorded the bill as advancing on an A roll call; the transcript notes the motion and that it was moved out of committee. The hearing record did not include a complete, named roll-call tally in the excerpt.

Why it matters: The measure targets oversight and transparency at shelter sites and ties reporting compliance to state funding; supporters described long shelter stays and the need for consistent standards.

What’s next: AB 750 has cleared the Appropriations Committee and will proceed in the legislative process. The committee record did not show amendments to the bill text during this hearing.","AB 750, advanced by the Assembly Appropriations Committee, would standardize reporting for homeless shelters, require notice of residents' rights, and authorize penalties for jurisdictions that fail to report — including possible withholding of state funds, according to the bill's author.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6573565,"Appropriations committee advances AB 1061 to let SB 9 projects proceed in historic districts with limits",145,2679000,2824000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3159043-c87b118b137cfaec1a6bc8ac50811d2c&start=2679&end=2824","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3159043-c87b118b137cfaec1a6bc8ac50811d2c/thumbnail_2679000.jpg","/articles/6573565/California/Appropriations-committee-advances-AB-1061-to-let-SB-9-projects-proceed-in-historic-districts-with-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6573565-a933475b4413020ca68d0a85a1a3cd92/orig.mp4?Expires=1770489835&Signature=WZENLip~COdBq1-Yza5c30~g6I1ym93oRiaQnMIKCdh1jF6rMpBoF22yuMykx1MUp5fn44vZYB5pc23x3RL7fxsBQSV9isBmZDfX43WxfKmt9VymJ0za03xhhB0dHFB3HxlTp8netvJEkQlbfn9Fe0YqwouNbtwICAKhV~pHB2NxlZqWx7BD1ZxLPmYVI4iLHkDULCYZjanjHCQMl1c5GFBkI-6aT-its-x79UHCdUdzj7lWhXtTGKgukLZVhrJeJHFw80zAOwh21numF7GSLfWfZSXLQD0f16RWJMRjP-xkEZRiv5Q6JGYsPHVgPNwLo6-fA8C55atfISddgWZ~Hw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced Assembly Bill 1061 on April 30, 2025. AB 1061 would allow projects enabled by SB 9 (2021) — duplexes and parcel splits — to apply in historic districts so long as projects do not demolish individually listed historic structures and maintain the street-facing appearance of contributing homes.

Supporters told the committee the change is intended to prevent the use of historic-preservation status to block new housing while preserving recognized historic buildings. Max Tubler, policy manager at California YIMBY, told the committee AB 1061 “balances housing production and historic preservation” by forbidding SB 9 projects at individually listed historic sites and requiring maintenance of street-facing appearances for homes that contribute to historic districts. The bill’s presenter said the measure is intended to expand opportunities for homeownership and multiunit housing in more neighborhoods.

The author and supporters said the bill would have minimal fiscal impact because local governments may recover planning costs through normal planning fees. Committee discussion did not add new fiscal changes on the record.

The committee recorded the bill as moving forward on an Assembly roll call; the transcript records Assemblymember Alanis voting aye and Assemblymember Hart not voting. The full vote tally was not specified in the hearing record.

Why it matters: SB 9, enacted in 2021, removed some local barriers to small-scale housing production. AB 1061 would narrow a common exclusion (historic districts) so that SB 9-style development can be used in more neighborhoods while protecting individually designated historic resources.

What’s next: With the committee’s action the bill is cleared for the next stage of the legislative process; the hearing record did not include final floor action or additional amendments.","The Assembly Appropriations Committee advanced AB 1061 on April 30, 2025.
