Next week, the Assembly has
two floor periods: Tuesday, March 7th and Thursday, March 9th.
On session days, the full Assembly votes on legislation. Here
are a couple of notable bills that we will be voting on next
week:
March 7th:
AB
49/SB 10- These bipartisan bills remove state government
hurdles to non-psychoactive Cannabidiol (CBD) oil so people can
get a prescription to use CBD oil to treat those who suffer from
seizure disorders. I am a co-sponsor of this legislation.
AB 69-
This bipartisan bill, often called 'Right to Try', gives certain
individuals with a terminal illness, who have exhausted all
medical options and received a recommendation from their doctor,
the option to try an investigational drug. I am a co-sponsor of
this legislation and voted to support it in the Assembly
Committee on Health.
March 9th:
AB 24/SB 3- This legislation promotes the free market and
saves taxpayer money by giving contractors and project owners
the option to enter into a Project Labor Agreement (PLA) by
prohibiting the state or local municipalities from requiring
PLAs for projects. PLAs vary, but common restrictions require a
construction project to only be awarded to a contractor and/or
sub-contractor that agrees to only hire employees from the
local union hiring hall (even if the company has employees who
are not members of the union), pay into the union pension fund
(even though its employees may never receive a union pension
benefit), recognize unions as the representatives of their
employees on that job and more. I am a co-sponsor of this
legislation.
AB 28- This bill fixes a quirk in the law by establishing
the conceal carry license renewal date at the end of five years
rather than when the applicant's renewal is approved. This
ensures that those who exercise their right to carry do not lose
money and time on their current license. I am a co-sponsor of
this legislation.
Please let me know your thoughts and opinions on the bills
that will be receiving a vote next week or on any other
proposals.
