Thanks to the Governor's signature on several of my bills over the past month, I end my term as your Assemblymember on a high note. Among the ones becoming law are:
AB 347: Requires the Dept. of Toxic Substances Control to enforce existing and future laws that lessen our exposure to harmful PFAS
AB 1777: Improves public safety and aids first responders, as more and more autonomous vehicles operate on our streets
AB 1780: Bans private California colleges and universities from giving preferential treatment to applicants related to alumni and donors during the admission process
AB 2359: Stimulates San Francisco's economy by increasing the number of neighborhood liquor licenses in some of the City's outer corridors
AB 2488: Allows tax incentives for developers who want to turn empty commercial spaces in Downtown San Francisco into housing
AB 2669: Keeps bridge crossings toll-free for pedestrians and bicyclists
AB 2967: Expands eligibility for teacher housing to educators and employees of publicly funded early childhood, pre-kindergarten, transitional kindergarten and afterschool programs
With two months left in office, I would like to personally thank you for your support over the years. We not only improved the lives of Californians, but also delivered state funding to help local projects become a reality.
Please join me at my final Community Breakfast on Saturday, October 19, starting at 10 a.m. at the California Academy of Sciences East Patio. Coffee and food will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis at no taxpayer expense. Please RSVP below.
It's been an honor serving you.
