Gail Pellerin_CA_Assemblymember_2025-10-24_on KZSC's Bushwhackers Breakfast Club

Gail Pellerin is California's 28th District Assemblymember. AB 679 re: Sempervirens finally passed, & signed by the Governor! Assemblymember Pellerin introduced this bill in 2023 as one of her first bills as a Freshman Assemblymember, which, given the fires & VIP visits, meant it got a lot of visibility; at its first stop in the Water, Parks & Wildlife Committee they wanted to know why wasn't it state side, so Gail amended it but it failed because the cost was too high; in 2024 the concern was still about cost; Gail got public input, and this year put in a pair of bills, one limited to Sempervirens, and a companion bill for statewide; this year Assemblymember Pellerin sent 10 bills to the Governor & all of them were signed, including one authorizing nurse practitioners to sign off on death certificates (avoiding lengthy delays if the doctor is unavailable); ACR (= "Assembly Concurrent Resolution" on Suicide Prevention & Awareness; deep dive into upcoming special election and Proposition 50, an ACA (= "Assembly Constitutional Amendment") for a mid-decade redistricting; voters should be engaged!; ballot box drop-off for casting ballot; select committee on wine no longer exists! we are nearing the end of the first year of a 2 year legislative calendar, with "held over" bills = "2-year bills" still in play.
