The California State Assembly convened on June 4, 2025, with a quorum present, beginning the session with a prayer led by Assemblymember Calderon, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The meeting proceeded with procedural motions, including the suspension of Assembly Rule 69d to expedite the consideration of certain bills.

Assemblymember DeMaio proposed to withdraw AB 1219, a tax relief bill for middle-class families, but the motion failed to secure the necessary votes, with 16 in favor and 39 against. The Assembly then moved through the agenda, with several bills being deemed read and amendments adopted without further discussion.

One significant piece of legislation discussed was AB 878, introduced by Assemblymember Calra. This bill aims to provide survivors of domestic violence with the ability to request reasonable safety accommodations from landlords, addressing the critical link between domestic violence and housing insecurity. The bill passed with a vote of 44 to 3, reflecting strong support for measures that assist vulnerable populations.

Next, Assemblymember Flora presented AB 940, which allows school districts to utilize pre-bid pricing for facility maintenance and repairs. This bill received unanimous support, passing with 57 votes in favor.

Assemblymember Carrillo introduced AB 735, a follow-up to previous legislation aimed at clarifying affordable housing compliance timelines and ensuring local governments are not penalized for good faith efforts. This bill also passed with a vote of 43 to 2.

Assemblymember Ta presented AB 81, which directs the California Department of Veterans Affairs to study mental health issues among women veterans. The bill highlights the unique challenges faced by this demographic, including higher rates of PTSD and suicide. The Assembly expressed strong support for the measure, which passed unanimously with 61 votes.

The session concluded with a commitment to continue addressing the needs of veterans and vulnerable communities in California, reflecting the Assembly's ongoing efforts to enact meaningful legislation.
