Elliott said the association supported the bill but acknowledged the committee’s focus on fiscal issues. The chair took no further questions and moved SB 367 to the committee’s suspense file without objection.

Pezzatti said the city and Caltrans initially discussed barriers and signage beginning in October but that the city had seen “very little contact and actually no action from Caltrans.” He said signage that had been installed earlier was removed and later reinstalled after city calls.

At the hearing Pezzatti described the bill as a pilot program proposed for San Bernardino County and said the current text provides funding or authority for up to 10 overpasses. He told the committee the city was “open to the idea of reducing the number” to about five overpasses to maintain pressure while reducing costs. “All you need is 5 minutes in order to save somebody's life,” Pezzatti said, arguing that barriers can buy time and reduce deaths.

Pezzatti asked the committee for an aye vote and suggested an amendment to add Senator Grayson as a coauthor. After public testimony, the committee chair announced there were no committee questions and placed SB 800 on the suspense file without objection.

Sheehy said the bill would require changes to election procedures that his clients did not request and estimated “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in direct costs for the Orange County Board of Education and county registrar; he added that because the bill would sweep in five counties, “you can multiply that cost by 5,” raising the likely fiscal impact “well over a million dollars.”

Sheehy told the committee the Orange County Board of Education expects to file a test claim with the Commission on State Mandates and argued those costs would ultimately be borne from the state general fund. He referenced Governor Newsom’s veto of SB 907 last year as an example where the governor declined to sign legislation that the administration viewed as usurping local control.

After the testimony, the committee chair announced no further questions and placed SB 249 on the suspense file. The chair said, “So, without objection, SB 249 will move to suspense.”

Sheehy framed his testimony as fiscal opposition only; the committee did not take additional action beyond the suspense placement.","Tom Sheehy, representing the Orange County Board of Education, opposed SB 249 on fiscal grounds and said affected counties could face more than $1 million in costs; the appropriations committee placed the bill on suspense.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":93,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6564768,"Sen.

Cabaldon said the bill authorizes—but does not require—the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to correct a 1972 boundary placement that he described as having placed Woodland and Winters into the Yuba Community College District over the objections of local voters.

“I'm here on behalf of SB 226, purely on the fiscal issues,” Cabaldon said, adding the proposal “would simply allow the Board of Governors to rectify that Yolo County is the only one that's been divided this way.” He told the committee the bill applies only to Yolo County and, per the panel’s staff analysis, would impose only minor and absorbable costs on the state as estimated by the Board of Governors.

Cabaldon criticized fiscal estimates submitted by the affected districts, saying some claimed multi‑million‑dollar costs—one district estimated $12 million related to unfunded pension obligations—while other district submissions did not report corresponding savings or consistent treatment of personnel and facility responsibilities. He said the districts’ submissions “are absurd” and intended to undermine the bill. Cabaldon cited two precedent statutes he said were analogous: a bill by Assemblymember Stan Statham and a bill by a prior senator that split other community college districts, and he said those earlier changes imposed no state budget appropriation.

Committee members took no further action other than to place SB 226 on the suspense file. The chair announced, “So, without objection, SB 226 will move to suspense.”

SB 226’s next steps will depend on further fiscal review and committee scheduling; the author said he agreed with the committee’s suspense recommendation while disputing the local cost estimates filed in opposition.","Senator Cabaldon said SB 226 would allow the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to address a split in Yolo County’s community college district dating to 1972; the bill was placed on the appropriations committee’s suspense file.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6564773,"Appropriations Committee moves 32 measures to suspense file; SB 593 sent to floor",347,103000,450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3272826-4788895aaccfae6731eaa3856029fae7&start=103&end=450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3272826-4788895aaccfae6731eaa3856029fae7/thumbnail_103000.jpg","/articles/6564773/California/Appropriations-Committee-moves-32-measures-to-suspense-file-SB-593-sent-to-floor","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6564773-ce598a06d85241107fd9d9defdc9bcf4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947005&Signature=mHonY2joj8BHcc-APaNXZVkTcTrIXa91WrkOhL6o8DtxG5JmuaicDtfSl0Qf6cLukQ5YmCzzIMUp2DcFGU15iwMGBD2QBTnRsSeas-vlWkL5lH7554~FTcqw5P-jCAz~4rtFb4-GsehUyCqJwFfu1vtIlZDz9O32GHiOw5KaVNn8rs4WO4RdQwnU2e1uU0bQPCGW63iFJPvwbcLlQztnP0s68OlRFTIUfS5wm5PtgEI2BDwK-2oEzfIzCse7SdZEsEV89T-WGBBBP3w7j1Tcz0HGkkT~ofbTKHpOSvyfA4qrkfrTXnxUQZjFZxbKPSFqplrYYWjDtNUkoaSL5uGA6Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California State Senate Committee on Appropriations convened in Room 2200 of the 0 Street Building for a hearing focused on fiscal review of 32 measures listed as suspense-file candidates. Committee members individually called for public testimony limited to fiscal effects, then moved each listed bill to the committee’s suspense file without objection.

Committee staff said the Department of Finance did not have files on the bills being heard, and most authors waived presentation, allowing the committee to take only fiscal testimony from witnesses. The chair repeatedly closed testimony and announced each bill would “move to suspense” without objection.

Among the measures on the agenda, SB 593 by Senator Hurtado was not heard in committee and instead was moved directly to the Senate floor pursuant to Senate rule 28.8. Several items drew brief public testimony on fiscal implications from local officials or advocacy representatives, but the committee did not take further action other than placing the measures on the suspense file.

Votes at a glance (committee action): every bill listed below was moved to the suspense file “without objection,” per the committee chair’s announcements during the hearing. SB 593 was sent directly to the floor per the chair’s opening remarks.

Bills moved to suspense (listed in committee order as read aloud at the hearing): SB1; SB56; SB60; SB67; SB432; SB3; SB266; SB274; SB313; SB321; SB16; SB99; SB403; SB455; SB644; SB17; SB31; SB711; SB787; SB813; SB32; SB503; SB646; SB679; SB34; SB535; SB631; SB656; SB703; SB767; SB796; SB826; SB35; SB37; SB43; SB54; SB55; SB249; SB448; SB481; SB63; SB282; SB378; SB497; SB48; SB263; SB62; SB331; SB331 (duplicate reading in transcript — listed once above); SB331/others as read (see transcript). (Note: the committee read more than 32 bill numbers in sequence; for precise bill-by-bill references and sponsor names see the transcript.)

What this means: Moving a bill to the suspense file is a procedural step that halts immediate committee advancement to the floor; bills on suspense may be reconsidered later in the legislative session after further fiscal review.

The hearing concluded after the chair announced the final bill moved to suspense and adjourned the committee.","The California State Senate Committee on Appropriations on Oct. 26 (date not specified) moved 32 bills from the committee agenda to the suspense file without objection; one bill (SB 593) was sent directly to the Senate floor.","actionData","errors"]
