SACRAMENTO – With the end of the 2019 legislative year, Assemblymember Jim Frazier (D- Discovery Bay), had 8 pieces of legislation pass through the Assembly and the Senate with three bills still on Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk awaiting signatures.

“2019 was a very productive year for the legislature but we are far from being finished,” Assemblymember Frazier said. “There is still much work to do when it comes to protecting the Delta, ensuring rights for at-risk populations and improving the state of transportation in California.”

Once a bill has been presented to the Governor’s desk, he has 30 days to either sign or veto the bill. The following bills have either been signed by Gov. Newsom or are waiting to be signed or vetoed:

  • AB 640– This bill requires the training course developed by the advisory committee within the Office of Emergency Services (OES) for district attorneys on the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault cases, child sexual exploitation cases, and child sexual abuse, to also include training on the investigation and prosecution of sexual abuse cases involving victims with developmental disabilities. SIGNED

 

  • AB 708– Places certain restrictions on the number of traffic violator schools (TVSs) that can be located at a specific location and places certain requirements on business hours of a traffic violator school starting January 1, 2020 in order to prevent manipulation of the TVS list on the DMV website.
