Assembly approves procedural re-referrals, ceremonial resolutions and the consent calendar
The California State Assembly moved through several procedural referrals, adopted multiple ceremonial resolutions and passed the consent calendar during its March 6 session.

Re-referrals and roll-call action
- The Assembly voted on a motion to re-refer AB 567 (DeMaio) as requested under Assembly Rule 96/97. The motion carried on a recorded vote, Ayes 42, Noes 17; the majority leader had asked for an aye vote and Assemblymember DeMaio asked that each referral be voted on separately for clarity before withdrawing his request to separate subsequent items.
- Prior to that roll-call, the Assembly agreed without objection to re-refer file item 29, AB 361 (Schultz), to the Appropriations Committee pursuant to assembly rule 97.
- The Assembly also re-referred the following bills without recorded roll calls after unanimous consent: AB 567 (DeMaio) (insurance committee → revenue and taxation → back to insurance committee), AB 602 (Haney) (health → higher education), AB 1104 (Pellerin) (utilities and energy → labor and employment → back to utilities and energy) and AB 1239 (Dixon) (human services → public safety).

Ceremonial resolutions and guest introductions
- The Assembly adopted Assembly Concurrent Resolution 55 (ACR 55), commemorating the 40th anniversary of ARC v. Department of Developmental Services and honoring the Lanterman Act; the clerk recorded 62 coauthors and the resolution was adopted by voice vote.
- House Resolution 28 recognizing Major League Baseball opening day 2025 (HR 28) was adopted after 58 coauthors were added; members spoke in praise of California teams.
- House Resolution 23 honoring Cesar Chavez Day (HR 23) was adopted with 60 coauthors; multiple caucuses and members delivered remarks in support.

Consent calendar
- The second-day consent calendar was approved; the clerk reported I 62, Noes 0 on several items including Assembly Concurrent Resolutions 39 and 53, Assembly Bills 266 and 581.
- Item 66 (ACR 12, Quirk Silva) was removed from the consent calendar at the author's request and noted by the clerk; file item 29 was dispensed with earlier in the session.

Speakers on these procedural and ceremonial items included Assistant Majority Leader Garcia (procedural motions), Assemblymember DeMaio (requesting separate votes), and multiple members who presented guest introductions and resolutions, including Assemblymembers Jeff Gonzales and Ortega. The clerk recorded roll calls and coauthor tallies as noted above.
