Why it matters: The bill aims to preserve a human safety layer while the state and companies gather real-world safety data for new uses of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology in last-mile delivery. Supporters cited incidents in San Francisco — including AVs obstructing emergency responses and at least one pedestrian injury — to argue for cautious deployment in neighborhoods. Opponents argued the bill could slow technology adoption that might ultimately save lives.

What the bill does: AB 33 requires a human safety operator in delivery AVs, mandates collection and reporting of safety data to state authorities, and creates a legislative review trigger so the Legislature can reassess the requirement once a body of data exists. The author framed the requirement as a temporary safety step with a legislatively mandated review to balance innovation and public safety.

Floor debate: Supporters including the author and coauthors emphasized worker and public-safety concerns and said the bill provides a transparent path for legislative oversight. Opponents argued that automation can reduce traffic fatalities caused by human drivers and that the bill would chill innovation; one member urged a sunset rather than open-ended restrictions. The author said the bill does not ban AVs and includes a reporting trigger for later review.

Formal action: The clerk recorded a roll-call vote: Ayes 52, No 6. The measure passed and will require coordination between the Department of Motor Vehicles and legislative committees for the mandated reporting and review timeline.

Next steps: Agencies named in the bill must collect and analyze data and report back to the Legislature as required; the Legislature will revisit the human-operator requirement when the data trigger is met.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Assembly Floor Session (1)","oneSentenceSummary","Lawmakers passed AB 33, which requires a qualified human safety operator aboard commercial autonomous delivery vehicles while they operate on neighborhood streets and sets reporting and a legislative review trigger.","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},6530984,"Assembly adopts intent language bill to address antisemitism in K–12 schools after wide bipartisan support",1682,6630000,8312000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632279-f490b2088f397dcde011fe4170c009fe&start=6630&end=8312","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632279-f490b2088f397dcde011fe4170c009fe/thumbnail_6630000.jpg","/articles/6530984/California/Assembly-adopts-intent-language-bill-to-address-antisemitism-in-K12-schools-after-wide-bipartisan-support","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530984-b9d4fa6a7c8116b7512dbf8b9c6205f6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901123&Signature=HdvsS5IkGEuCbIvraxhAIWaccrVuq-QZZIYQLVnlqHCJU8cPcqbnZLaoEB1TeMFl1tIvw-v2npY4U2VLaYEVsubHert7kTJ91hPZq96Y5~H3SDeVfCCA2XyjXR1voww2aULvrreMJ99hPz~DReCTU6heiAzTet9vlSvq3ArwSIdlNcZqs30HyCSeX9uNVM6r88ZkiPOz5QPe093zC5~AEwRZ3zTedJfj493ouGPAm3T~8dZrf8CZdPSu9WSIjCqiFn6pwMEHNrQIcMAZnrSGYVMkfQxw0BHRCWZ0eFgFVgci8LyVhH0RwiuHlo3mpBGtNR6P5jx8KLTqA4TQMf76bg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California State Assembly on May 14 passed AB 715 (also printed as AB 7 15 on the daily file), a bill described by its authors as a civil-rights and school-safety measure to prevent antisemitism and protect Jewish students in K–12 schools.

Assemblymember Jacaranda Zbor (lead author) framed the bill as a collaborative effort led by chairs of the Jewish, Black, Latino, AAPI and Native American caucuses. She told colleagues the measure advances intent language to strengthen definitions related to religion and nationality, improve protections and complaint processes, ensure instructional materials are free from discriminatory content, increase district accountability for complaints, and establish a statewide antisemitism coordinator role for follow-up and coordination.

Why it matters: Authors and supporters said the bill responds to a recent rise in antisemitic incidents and hostile school climates reported in multiple districts. Supporters stressed the measure is intent language — a framework requiring further stakeholder consultation and legislative follow-up — rather than final regulatory text. Opponents were not recorded on the floor; the measure passed unanimously 64–0.

What the floor debate covered: Several members, including chairs and members of caucuses across the chamber, spoke in favor, describing personal or constituent experiences with antisemitism and arguing for both protective measures and for protecting robust classroom discussion. Supporters emphasized the bill's collaborative drafting and repeated that most teachers are not antisemitic but some materials and incidents have caused harm. The bill's intent language was presented as a vehicle to continue stakeholder engagement and produce more specific provisions later in the legislative process.

Formal action: The clerk recorded a roll-call vote: Ayes 64, No 0; the measure passed and was retained on file. The author and principal coauthors pledged continued consultation with educators, district officials and other stakeholders as the bill advances.

What happens next: Because the bill contains intent language and a set of proposed mechanisms (definitions, accountability, a coordinator and complaint-handling enhancements), authors said they will continue negotiations and draft instructions for implementation steps. The Department of Education and legislative staff will be asked to advise on operational impact and next steps.","The Assembly voted 64–0 to pass AB 715, an intent-language measure aimed at preventing antisemitism and strengthening school accountability and supports; authors described the bill as a framework for further stakeholder work.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6530990,"Assembly passes wide package of resolutions and bills; key votes listed",4869,4555000,9424000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3632279-f490b2088f397dcde011fe4170c009fe&start=4555&end=9424","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3632279-f490b2088f397dcde011fe4170c009fe/thumbnail_4555000.jpg","/articles/6530990/California/Assembly-passes-wide-package-of-resolutions-and-bills-key-votes-listed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530990-ce93852e8880f68b86f6714e9c7a5c0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770901123&Signature=YdaiMisG6WhC~icNl7fHjR-j2nmZKbeawNRr5WEfhTQRwsJ~ZzvDwUx5QBVYtzqOUPGWMRRylceZ~WPFGYWPbwjRwY8grzSDO~JzUVaKZCKwc~JQD4B8Jhk9kDrn4UWy2grRoXA73cwTvYLwlIIpftZu0GV7cLUav5RmUQhRqkxz-o6fPcIrawy-nmyBZP8ebLeQT6T338Ygb3DHlD4kRMWBz7coraQ7Kx2mwnTGOEtKMQzB8HhAQXkk-L-Hkh239qAej3sRj5n3wDf-2Z~bE~LgnEWo-A13p-Bn7BNxMCSsbXu0jo~ekRy-JpvG5kP0sc8HK9tjO55tJsO5RPazrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California State Assembly convened on May 14 and moved through a large daily file, passing a series of bills and resolutions by recorded roll calls and voice votes covering education, veterans benefits, housing, health care and technology oversight.
