The Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee of the California State Senate convened on June 26, 2025, to discuss key legislative matters, including a significant bill supported by Assemblymember Zaboo and Senator Allen.

During the meeting, Assemblymember Zaboo clarified his connection to the University of the Pacific, emphasizing his support for the bill while correcting a previous statement about his role there. He expressed gratitude for the collaboration with Senator Allen, noting that both legislators had introduced identical bills in their respective chambers, which had garnered substantial support—73 votes in the Assembly and 34 in the Senate.

Zaboo highlighted that the only modifications made to the bill were to add urgency and implement a few technical changes requested by the governor's office. He acknowledged the contributions of the entertainment union coalition and thanked his colleagues for their support.

Following the discussions, the committee proceeded to a roll call vote, resulting in unanimous approval of the bill, which will now advance to the Committee on Appropriations. The meeting concluded with a sense of accomplishment as the committee members celebrated the successful passage of the legislation.
