Rules Committee approves consent agenda and votes to attach urgency clause to SB 747

The California State Assembly Rules Committee approved the remainder of its consent agenda and voted to attach an urgency clause to SB 747 during a short meeting.

A member asked that item 6 be removed from the consent agenda so it could be considered separately; the committee then proceeded to vote on the rest of the consent items and approved them. The Chair declared, “Motion passes.”

After the consent vote, the committee took up item 6 — an urgency clause request tied to SB 747 (transcript recorded as "SB 7 47"). The committee conducted a roll-call vote on the urgency clause. According to the roll call recorded in the meeting, Arrons, Garcia, Gonzales, Rodriguez and Zuber voted aye; Lackey, Dixon and Sanchez voted no. The motion to attach the urgency clause carried.

The meeting ended shortly after the roll call. No additional debate or amendments to SB 747 were recorded in the transcript.

What happens next: the committee’s recorded action was the approval of the urgency clause; the transcript does not record subsequent floor scheduling or next procedural steps for SB 747.
