CA - B 51 was heard today by the Senate Transportation

OFF THE WIRE
AB 51 was heard today by the Senate Transportation and Housing Sub-Committee, a quorum was not available. Chair Beall and Vice Chair Cannella supported the bill, all that is needed if the full committee could not vote. Jim Lombardo, Nick Harris (AMA), Mercury Insurance, And Glen Phillips, Sporty and Ruby Weber spoke in support. AB 51 was passed and sent on to the Senate Appropriations Committee in the next two weeks. After that to the Senate floor, then back to the Assembly to consider any Senate amendments, then to the governor for his signature.
well done to all involved in all aspects of getting the bill to this point. And thanks to those who were able to attend the meeting and speak in support of AB 51.
It was unopposed.
