I have amended AB1577 - allowing Legislative employees to collectively bargain. The bill will give our employees the right to unionize, a right that has been granted to employees in every other branch of govt. Listening to our workers’ voices will make the institution stronger 🧵

#AB1766 has passed Assembly Transportation and is now headed to the Judiciary committee. This is one step closer to every Californian obtaining an ID card
I introduced AB 1766 to expand CA ID eligibility to all Californians, regardless of immigration status. IDs are essential to employment, housing and social services. This bill removes one of the largest barriers to societal participation for undocumented people.
I am proud to have @JonesSawyerAD59 @AsmRobertRivas and @AsmMikeGipson as joint authors on this important piece of legislation

Great article on the Student Borrowers Bill of Rights that established standards for the student loan industry so that borrowers have the best chance to pay off their debts. I authored AB 424 this year to build on those protections and bring further accountability to the industry

This new report exposes some of the glaring inequities in California’s Penal Code and shows us a pathway to reform a system that has focused on punishment for far too long. clrc.ca.gov/CRPC/Pub/Reports…
Since the onset of the pandemic, modified programming has severely limited the ability of incarcerated people to earn credits. That is why I am proud to have introduced #AB292 which will help to overcome some of these shortfalls
