The Assembly Floor Session held on May 1, 2025, in Sacramento focused on procedural motions and a significant legislative proposal concerning public safety. The session began with standard proceedings, including the reading of the previous day's journal and announcements regarding member absences.

A notable discussion arose when Assemblymember De Maio moved to set a special order to consider Assembly Bill 379, which addresses serious public safety issues. De Maio expressed concerns that the bill had been altered in committee, removing language that would classify the purchase of minors for sexual exploitation as a felony. He argued that this change did not reflect the majority opinion of the Assembly and emphasized the need for the full body to review the bill in its original form.

The motion required a two-thirds majority to pass, and De Maio urged his colleagues to support it, asserting that the legislative process had failed to adequately represent the will of the voters. The session included a debate on the motion, with members discussing the implications of the amendments made by the Public Safety Committee.

As the session progressed, the majority leader indicated that the order of business would be adjusted to accommodate further discussion on the bill. Members were given time to review the amendments before proceeding with a vote. The session also included a moment of celebration for Chief Cheryl Craft's birthday and concluded with an adjournment in memory of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Overall, the session highlighted ongoing tensions regarding legislative processes and public safety legislation, with Assembly Bill 379 at the center of the debate. The outcome of the proposed motion will be significant in determining how the Assembly addresses issues of child exploitation and public safety moving forward.
