On Wednesday, the Assembly Committee on State Affairs convened in a public hearing on two bills:
Assembly Bill 376: relating to a statewide urban search and rescue task force, emergency response teams, and making an appropriation
Assembly Bill 487: relating to delivery network couriers and transportation network drivers, Department of Financial Institutions' approval to offer portable benefit accounts, providing for insurance coverage, and granting rule-making authority
We had a wide range of individuals, groups, and companies who made the trip to the capitol to testify on these bills, ranging from law enforcement and first responders to contractors and representatives from app-based companies. Thank you to everyone who testified and provided the committee with their impactful statements.
Next up, the committee will need to hold an executive session to potentially advance these bills so that they may be scheduled for a vote on the Assembly floor.

Remembering 9/11
Saturday commemorates the 20-year anniversary of 9/11.
On this day, we all have an obligation to honor those 2,996 Americans who lost their lives, every law enforcement and first responder who's heroic actions saved countless people, and the incredible men and women who took their call of duty to serve and protect this nation from radical Islamic terrorism.
With that being said, we have various events throughout the 34th Assembly District commemorating 9/11. I encourage all of my constituents to attend one of these events, and do your part in honoring the victims and heroes of this tragic day in American history.
