This after the bill, known as SB 14, passed the California Senate very easily with bipartisan support. However, it was blocked by the Assembly Public Safety Committee. No Democrats who serve on that committee were willing to vote "yes" on the bill. The lone "yea" vote came from one of two Republicans currently serving on the committee. The other Republican was absent.

Considering their state is intersected by a major fault line (and the merging of two tectonic plates), you'd think they'd be a little more careful in upsetting the Almighty.

I was told that this was only promoted as a partisan issue when a particular letter was referenced.

… rent … free …

I have not read this particular piece of legislation, but it is my experience that legislation very seldom does only that which it is represented to do. There may well have been something problematic hidden inside an otherwise-good piece of legislation.

assuming that the legislation was “clean,“ however, this does seem like an odd result.

If it passed and was supported by both parties why would a committee have the authority to deny?

What elected official would vote no, knowing his vote would be public knowledge? How would you justify that to your voter base? These are the type of things I could understand people demonstrating or rioting over, not protecting children.

Roger, how many times do you want to go back over this issue? You are either entirely dishonest or simply too stupid to understand my position. I see no reason to argue with you further.

apparently, you did not read the article.

It passed in the Senate. After a bill passes the senate, Schoolhouse Rock tells us that it then goes to the lower chamber (called the “assembly“ in California).

In the lower chamber, it again goes through committee, before it again goes to the floor. For whatever reason, the bill was temporarily killed in committee in that second chamber. The bill is still subject to reconsideration.

To be clear, the trafficking in question is already a felony under California law. What this bill would have done is add trafficking (not a capital felony) to a list of capital felonies for purposes of the California recidivism law. (That is a somewhat simplified explanation.)

it is entirely possible that someone looked at this legislation and said “trafficking is really bad, but it’s not nearly as bad as murder.“

Not surprising they did this. We know what they are, including the ones on this board who have been melting over the movie. They've outed themselves
