The California State Assembly met March 6 and disposed of a large number of bills on second and third reading and the consent calendar. Floor leaders and the clerk reported committee referrals, rereferrals, and a series of bills that were deemed read and had amendments adopted; later that day the second-day consent calendar was adopted with a recorded vote of 69-0.

Key procedural actions recorded in the transcript:

- At the start of the second-reading sequence the clerk read a long list of bills that were considered “deemed read” and whose amendments were deemed adopted (the transcript lists many AB numbers in sequence; the clerk then said “All bills will be deemed read and all amendments will be deemed adopted.”).

- The second-day consent calendar (a set of bills and resolutions listed on the record) was adopted on a recorded vote: Ayes 69, Noes 0. The clerk read a list of consent-calendar items individually and recorded the 69-0 result for the package.

- Separate floor items previously covered in individual presentations and recorded votes include AB 793 (Ayes 55, Noes 0), AB 533 (Ayes 57, Noes 0), AB 764 (Ayes 64, Noes 0). Multiple resolutions and concurrent/senate items on the consent calendar were also adopted with recorded “Aye 69, No 0” tallies as read aloud on the floor (examples include Assembly Concurrent Resolution 64 and numerous Senate Concurrent Resolutions listed in the transcript excerpts).

Transcript context notes: The clerk repeatedly used the phrase “All those vote who desire to vote” when opening and closing the roll; where the transcript printed a final tally, that tally is reported in the individual item’s article above. For items that were adopted by voice vote, the transcript records “The ayes have it. The resolution is adopted.” The long list of bills initially read on second reading and noted as “deemed read” are captured verbatim in the transcript; the excerpted record does not show individual roll-call votes for each of those items beyond the later consent-calendar tallies.

Because the transcript lists many bill numbers without expanded floor debate in the excerpt, readers should consult the Assembly’s official journal for the complete roll-call record and bill text for each bill listed on the second-reading list or the consent calendar if a detailed vote-by-name is required.
