Committee members and authors described the measures as incremental steps to increase housing supply — from accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on single lots to student and downtown housing and conversions of underused office space.

Key measures discussed and recorded as advanced in the hearing record included:

- AB 956 (author: Quirk Silva): Would explicitly allow homeowners to build two detached accessory dwelling units on a property so long as size, height and setback requirements are met. The author told the committee the bill \"is very simple. It provides clarity that you can build 2 detached ADUs on a property.\" Public comment included both supporters (California YIMBY) and a resident who said neighborhood impacts such as parking and public‑service strain were concerns. The item was recorded as moved out on a committee roll call.

- AB 1470 (author: Haney): Would allow the California Student Housing Revolving Loan Fund recipients—CSU, UC and community colleges—to use up to 20% of loan funds to build affordable student, faculty and staff housing in downtowns and commercial districts. Supporters described downtown student presence as an economic and vitality strategy. The bill was recorded as advanced without a fiscal appropriation for new funding; supporters said no state cost was projected.

- AB 507 (author: Haney): Seeks to accelerate office‑to‑housing conversions by creating clearer pathways and ministerial approvals for qualifying conversions, while providing flexibility for historic buildings. The author described it as a tool to increase housing supply and preserve feasible historic conversions. The committee recorded the bill as advanced.

- AB 893 (author: Fong): Expands ministerial approval for mixed‑income residential developments on commercially zoned lots near campuses and allows eligibility of affordable units for students, faculty and staff. Student housing advocates told the committee that students are among those who experience homelessness and that mixed‑income supply can help moderate rents. The bill was advanced on a committee roll call.

- AB 1021 (author: Wicks): Would make it easier for school districts and local educational agencies to build housing for employees, building on prior legislation. The School Boards Association and large districts testified in support; the bill was recorded as advanced with named members recorded in the roll call notes.

Support and opposition: Witnesses included housing advocates (California YIMBY, Habitat for Humanity), downtown business improvement representatives, student housing coalitions, university and local partners, and county speakers. Opponents in specific item testimony raised concerns about neighborhood impacts (parking, local infrastructure) and limits on local control.

Decisions and next steps: Each bill was advanced on a committee roll call (the transcript records \"out on an a/b roll call\" for the items above). Where the transcript included voting notes it listed member exceptions (for example, several items were recorded as \"out with Republicans not voting\"); the hearing excerpt does not include full roll‑call tallies for every bill.

Why it matters: Authors and supporters described these bills as tools to expand housing supply through both regulatory clarity (ADUs, ministerial approvals) and financing flexibility (student housing loans) without new, large state appropriations in the committee analysis.

Assembly Majority Leader Ayear Curry, the bill’s presenter, told the committee the measure \"protects and safeguard[s] safe and legal, reproductive health care here in California.\" Curry framed the bill as a response to post‑Dobbs restrictions in other states and to federal actions that supporters say have reduced funding and threatened clinical practice.

Angela Pontes, senior vice president for government affairs at Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, testified as a cosponsor and described the medication covered by the bill. \"AB 260 safeguards access to medication abortion in California by protecting against federal interference with the current practice of medicine in this state,\" Pontes said, adding that the bill \"increases access to reproductive health care through telehealth\" and removes provider names from mifepristone prescription labels.

Supporters told the committee that medication abortion is widely used and clinically safe, and that the bill’s fiscal effects are \"mostly minor and absorbable,\" language that also appears in the committee analysis. Multiple advocacy organizations and medical groups signed on as cosponsors or supporters and were recorded at the hearing.

No primary witnesses in opposition were reported in the hearing record. The author closed by asking for an \"aye\" vote; the clerk recorded the item as moved out of committee \"on a b roll call.\" The transcript records the committee motion and that the bill was placed on the roll call, but does not include a full roll‑call tally in the hearing excerpt.

Why it matters: Supporters say AB 260 would preserve patient access to a commonly used medication (mifepristone) and reduce legal exposure for clinicians in California amid changing federal and out‑of‑state restrictions. The committee analysis cited a small, absorbable fiscal impact.

What’s next: The bill was moved off the committee’s immediate calendar and recorded as advanced on a committee roll call; further committee scheduling or floor action was not recorded in the excerpt.

AB 1413 (author: Pappen) — Groundwater adjudication and the \"size of the pie\": The author described AB 1413 as a follow‑up to prior groundwater legislation and said it is intended to preserve the local process for determining sustainable yield and to give validated Groundwater Sustainability Plans (GSPs) deference in adjudication proceedings. The Nature Conservancy testified in support, saying the bill \"prohibits a court from adopting a sustainable yield in an adjudication proceeding if such a yield allows more total pumping on an annual basis than the average sustainable yield established in a validated groundwater sustainability plan covering the basin.\" Testimony emphasized that the bill preserves the right to judicial review while reducing duplicative proceedings that could delay plan implementation and increase costs. The author noted proposed amendments and ongoing discussions with stakeholders; the bill was recorded as advanced on a roll call.

AB 929 (author: Connolly) — Temporary protections for small community water systems and managed wetlands: The author said managed wetlands and small community water systems are critical resources and that some basins are \"overdrafted.\" The bill would temporarily exempt historically required groundwater to support these small systems and wetlands from pumping reductions and fines under SGMA, subject to limits and a three‑year sunset in an amended version. Audubon California testified in support describing habitat and water‑supply benefits. The author and witnesses said the exemption is limited to historical uses and that increases above historical amounts would remain subject to Groundwater Sustainability Agencies (GSAs). The bill was advanced on a committee roll call.

Supporters framed AB 1413 and AB 929 as tools to protect ecosystems and disadvantaged communities while maintaining the SGMA process. Opponents and some commenters raised concerns about due‑process and potential conflicts with long‑term groundwater sustainability goals; authors said judicial review remains available and that the bills aim to minimize duplicative litigation.

Next steps: Both items were moved out of the committee on roll calls as recorded in the hearing transcript; the excerpt does not include complete roll‑call tallies.

The committee transcript often records items as \"out on an a roll call\" or \"out on a b roll call.\" Where the transcript explicitly named member votes or noted exceptions, those details are included. The excerpt did not include complete roll‑call tallies for every item.

Listed items (selected from the hearing excerpt):

- AB 260 (Ayear Curry) — Recorded as advanced \"out on a b roll call.\" (See separate article for discussion.)
- AB 904 (Ayear Curry) — Clarifies child care subsidy eligibility during family leave and job search. Recorded as advanced \"out on a b roll call\"; transcript notes \"miss Dixon voting aye and mister Taw not voting.\"
- AB 1014 (Rogers) — Grants Caltrans flexibility to set speed limits on state highways through rural communities; recorded as advanced; transcript notes \"Republicans not voting, Miss Dixon voting no, and Mister Tonga Paa voting aye.\"
- AB 46 (Wynn) — Mental health diversion clarifications; noted in transcript as placed on call (committee held action \"on call\" pending additional members).
- AB 1430 (Bennett) — County recorder fee adjustment; recorded as advanced with some members not voting as noted in the transcript.
- AB 735 / AB 645 / AB 1413 (Pappen series) — Groundwater/EMS and follow‑ups; AB 1413 recorded as advanced on a b roll call (see water article for details).
- AB 929 (Connolly) — Small community water systems and managed wetlands temporary exemption; recorded as advanced on a b roll call (see water article).
- AB 930 (Ward) — Counting vote‑by‑mail ballots postmarked by election day and received within seven days; recorded as advanced on a b roll call.
- AB 1022 (Calra) — Repeals authority to immobilize/tow vehicles solely to collect unpaid parking tickets; author and sponsors recorded support; bill advanced on committee action.
- AB 290 / AB 302 (Bauer‑Kahan) — Consumer protections (automatic payments for California Fair Plan) and medical data protections; both recorded as advanced (a roll call / b roll call as noted in transcript).
- AB 1303 / AB 920 / AB 956 / AB 893 / AB 1470 / AB 507 / AB 1021 and other housing measures — Various housing‑related bills were recorded as advanced; some items were noted \"out on an a roll call\" or \"b roll call\" and the transcript recorded member exceptions (e.g., Republicans not voting on multiple items).
- AB 49 (Martucci) — Protecting schools from immigration enforcement; recorded as advanced on a b roll call.
- AB 1190 (Haney) — Caps third‑party DMV website fees; recorded as advanced on an a roll call.

Notes on roll‑call language in transcript: \"out on an a roll call\" and \"out on a b roll call\" appear repeatedly in the hearing excerpt. The transcript sometimes also records member specifics such as who voted no, who voted aye, or who did not vote. Where specific member votes were stated in the excerpt, this summary includes those references; the transcript excerpt did not include complete vote tallies for all items.

If a bill name appears in this list but no discussion is summarized here, it indicates the bill was placed on the committee calendar and recorded as moved on a roll call in the excerpt but had minimal discussion in the provided transcript.

Assemblymember Martucci presented the bill, saying it \"do[es] everything in our power to keep ICE out of our California public schools.\" Supporters invoked longstanding legal protections for school attendance and recited Plyler v. Doe as precedent.

Nicolas Thompson Lares, a staff attorney with the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), told the committee the bill responds to the Department of Homeland Security’s rescission of the prior \"sensitive locations\" memo and recent federal enforcement actions. \"AB 49 helps to provide clarity, safety, and peace of mind to children and all who care for them,\" he said, and described real‑world fear among families and students when immigration enforcement occurs near schools.

Multiple immigrant‑rights organizations, county education offices and community advocates testified in support. One county speaker noted prior concerns but said the author had struck language that could have created legal exposure for school employees. The transcript records the bill as moved out on a committee roll call after a motion and second; one committee member praised the bill and indicated co‑authorship interest.

Why it matters: Supporters said AB 49 protects students’ access to education and reduces fear among immigrant communities; the measure responds to federal policy changes and localized enforcement incidents. The hearing record shows broad advocacy support and no sustained opposition presented in the excerpt.

Next steps: The committee recorded AB 49 as advanced on a roll call. Full roll‑call tallies were not included in the provided transcript excerpt.

","AB 49, which would restrict immigration enforcement actions at K‑12 schools and reaffirm schools as sensitive locations for enforcement, was advanced by the committee. Supporters cited Plyler v.
