Rules committee approves consent agenda, adds multiple Assembly bills to referral list

The California State Assembly Rules Committee convened, confirmed a quorum and approved a consent agenda that placed a group of Assembly bills on today’s referral list, the committee chair said.

The chair announced that “Assembly bills 1979, 2038, 2041, 2055, 2252, 2372, 2437, 2456, 2469, 2617 and 2636” had been added to the referral list for the day; the chair also said AB 2,148 had been removed from the referral list. After a motion and a second, the secretary called the roll and affirmative votes were recorded. The chair then stated, “Motion passes, and we will now move to our regular agenda.”

On the regular agenda, the committee took up item number 9. The chair asked whether members had questions or comments and requested the secretary call the roll; the recorded vote on item 9 was announced as passing. The chair said the roll would be left open for about two minutes to allow additional members to join, and invited members to add on. The chair closed the meeting by saying, “Rules committee is now adjourned.”

The meeting record lists the bills added to referral and notes AB 2,148 was removed; no further details about the content of the listed bills or any debate on them appear in the record provided.
