Arons said the bill establishes a clear statewide standard so local governments, businesses and institutions cannot broadly ban mask‑wearing; limited exceptions are included such as temporary removal for identification. “As COVID‑19 showed, wearing a mask is an important public health tool,” Arons said.

The bill drew brief floor debate and then passed on a roll call, Ayes 52, Noes 2. Supporters pointed to personal experiences and public health considerations; opponents were limited in number on the floor record.

The bill now proceeds through the legislative process; sponsors said it would not prevent legitimate identification or safety checks and would preserve narrow exceptions where necessary.","The Assembly passed AB 1326 to affirm a right to wear masks in public spaces; sponsor Assemblymember Arons said the bill would protect individual health choices and create a statewide standard.

Lee said private equity and hedge funds have rapidly consolidated local papers, reducing newsroom staffing and local coverage. “Keeping local news local is critical, and we're losing that now,” Lee said, citing recent sales in Santa Rosa and the presence of large corporate owners.

Assemblymember Rebecca Rogers of Santa Rosa described recent local experience in which employees and a labor union were surprised by a change in ownership and emphasized the need for transparency and additional time to vet buyers. The bill's supporters said the notice period would create an opportunity for employees, local governments, potential local buyers and community groups to negotiate alternatives.

The Clerk closed the roll; the tally announced on the floor was Ayes 41, Noes 13.

Assemblymember James Rogers, the resolution's author, said the cuts were threatening public safety and local economies and called for restoring federal resources. “AJR 10 calls on the president of The United States to reverse his cuts to the US Forest Service,” Rogers said on the floor.

Speakers from both parties supported the resolution but used the debate to emphasize different priorities. Supporters including Assemblymembers Bennett, Harbidian, Hart and Schiavo stressed the need for full staffing, restoration work and funding for wildfire mitigation in California's national forests. Minority Leader Gallagher and other members argued that improved forest management, including prescribed burns and responsible timber practices, must accompany funding to reduce fuels and fire risk. Several members also noted recent federal grants and specific prescribed‑burn operations in their districts.

Before the final vote the Assembly added coauthors; Clerk announcements recorded 64 coauthors added. The final roll call on AJR 10 was I 67, No 0; the resolution was adopted.

The resolution requests federal action and is nonbinding; members said it aims to send a bipartisan message to the administration and Congress while also calling attention to state and local forest management needs.","The Assembly adopted AJR 10 calling on the U.S. president to reverse cuts to the U.S. Forest Service.

Assemblymember James Ramos, chair of the Legislative Native American Caucus and the resolution's lead author, said the statistics are alarming and require action. “California is home to the largest Native American population in the United States,” Ramos said, and he cited multiple figures during his remarks, including that “84.3 percent of Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime” and that “over half of the population of the Native American people are suffering these statistics.” He asked colleagues to treat the situation “with the urgency” it deserves.

Support for the resolution came from members of multiple caucuses on both sides of the aisle. Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, speaking for the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, said the caucus stood “united with you and indigenous communities in our commitment to ending the epidemic as well as supporting their family and survivors.” Assemblymember Tasha Boerner (AAPI Caucus), Assemblymember Quirk‑Silva (select committee member), Assemblymember Robert Garcia and others described recent hearings, tribal testimony and grassroots events, and urged improved data collection, interagency coordination and tribal engagement.

Speakers repeatedly pointed to gaps in reporting and classification as part of the problem; Ramos and others referenced Public Law 280 and testimony about repatriation and criminal jurisdiction as areas that require sustained attention. Several members framed the resolution as a step to honor victims while continuing legislative work on funding and policy.

All debate having ceased, the Clerk opened and closed the roll; the tally was Aye 67, No 0. The resolution was adopted.

Votes and next steps: the resolution is nonbinding but the Assembly's sponsors and supporters said they will continue work on related policy and funding requests identified during recent hearings and the Legislature's select committee meetings.","The Assembly adopted ACR 39, sponsored by Assemblymember James Ramos, to designate May 2025 as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples Awareness Month.
