Lawmakers and the Law.
There are different types of lawmakers. I am starting to learn that despite my lack of desire or motivation to learn about them. Many of them appear suddenly like a sudden falling star ejected from a lodge, they have their moment in the sky never to be seen again. Unless their emails are stumbled upon because I once wrote to them thinking they might be able to help expedite things for you (or me). Their email system presumed I was one of their constituents and it still writes to me about their glorious deeds. I have within these pages tried to highlight the timelines that seem intent on colliding and how each State must start to prepare for them following the 9th and 10th Amendments to the United States Constitution.
The email was titled promisingly:
“Craft Brewery Nominations, Legislative Updates & More”
That use of the Ampersand is probably justified. It’s not a random sighting. This one is deliberate and intentional. You know it’s going to be interesting when the Legislative Updates are sandwiched between “Craft Brewing” and the “Ampersand” without the second comma.
Dear Mark
Summer is in full swing at the Capitol. As we head into the month of June, our office is hard at work advancing legislation and engaging with our community here in the district and in Sacramento.
((I have been watching The Happening as a rental. Mark was the name top of mind)) Suggestion: If someone wanted to be througly creeped out; watch my recorded videos if you have them and then watch the movie. So far in the movie, Princeton gets a honorable mention. Twice. M. Night Shyamalan sort of an escapade if you know what I mean.
When M., Night, Shyam and Alan combine. The LAN is hidden. Don’t worry about the Local Area Network. ))
Currently we have more than several bills awaiting action in the Senate—legislation focused on protecting your privacy, lowering the cost of developing housing, and safeguarding our most vulnerable communities.
Those bills are:
((If bills were an appetizer or some girls at a classy strip club that sentence might make more sense. “More than” is unrequited. “Action is probably an overkill”. You hungry yet the email seems to ask))
AB 322 CA Location Privacy Act – Modernizes the California Consumer Privacy Act to close dangerous loopholes in how precise location data is collected, retained, sold, and disclosed. It ensures that Californians' movements—especially in sensitive spaces like protests, clinics, houses of worship, and legal service centers—are not quietly tracked or weaponized against them.
AB 1337 IPA Reform Act of 2025 – Updates California's Information Practices Act (IPA) of 1977, which governs how public entities handle our data, to respond to the challenges of today's digital environment.
AB 1406 Condo Deposits – Encourages condominium development by increasing the liquidated damages cap from 3% to 6% while maintaining strong consumer protections, giving lenders greater certainty, improving project feasibility, lowering development costs, and ultimately increasing the supply of condominiums and affordable entry-level homeownership opportunities.
AB 1542 CA Data Privacy Act – Closes a dangerous loophole in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by banning businesses from the selling or sharing of sensitive personal information to a third party. Californians deserve the right to feel safe and protected while going about their daily lives, attending places of worship, seeking vital health care, exercising their right to free speech, or simply going to the grocery store to feed their families.
AB 1684 HOA AC Installation Standards – Prohibits an HOA from restricting a homeowner's installation, use, or replacement of a home cooling system.
AB 1775 Support for Discharged Service Members Act – Provides critical housing, employment, and transition-to-civilian-life support for service members being discharged from the U.S. military, particularly because of President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14183, which targets transgender service members.
AB 1793 CA Common "Cents" Act – Standardizes the symmetrical rounding of cash transactions to the nearest nickel, ensuring fairness and transparency upon the elimination of the penny.
AB 1813 Community Solar – Requires the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to create a community renewable energy program that prioritizes access and utility bill savings for low-income households and renters who cannot install on-site solar and storage for technical or cost-related reasons. This will expand access to solar to all Californians, while providing a valuable tool for achieving the state's ambitious energy efficiency and climate change goals.
AB 1954 Municipal Golf Course Reform – Prohibits the brokering and reselling of reservations or tee times at municipal golf courses without a written agreement.
AB 1921 Protect our Games Act – Requires companies selling server-connected video games to notify consumers before shutting down a game's servers, rendering it inoperable. Upon ceasing support for a game, a company must provide (a) a means of accessing a playable version of the game or (b) a full refund to those who purchased it.
AB 2089 Welfare Property Tax Exemption Reform – Reforms the State Property Welfare Tax Exemption to ease tax burdens on affordable housing providers during ownership or control transitions, preserving hundreds of thousands of dollars for affordable housing.
AB 2180 Prop 218 Reform – Provides clarity and consistency to water agencies and their customers in setting proportional rates to provide predictability and minimize unnecessary legal disputes over water rates.
AB 2222 Community Newsroom Employment & Workforce Sustainability Act (The Community NEWS Act) – Establishes a tax credit to incentivize local news organizations to retain and hire journalists in California, helping sustain local journalism and community reporting. The bill aims to address the decline of local newsrooms by supporting newsroom employment and strengthening access to reliable local information.
AB 2559 Deposit Reform – Creates a standardized timeline in which consumers can request a deposit refund for meeting the recycling requirements of local construction and demolition programs, mandated by state waste diversion laws.
((If our eyes glazed over when reading this, whose fault is that? Clearly ours. Clearly location privacy is important, especially when a person with no intelligence experience or military service will be taking over the ODNI. I note that it has become “our data” and “public entities” in the second item. Are “oxygen stealing veterans” considered to be either of those? Which lodge are you from, boy? Well… going from 3 to 6 is usually never a problem. In verse 3, there are 3 sixes in a number of the beast for example. AB 1406 in simple reverse cipher becomes FN BA. The “0” is optional. The occupants of condominiums will pay higher security deposits. So ordered. ))
Meanwhile in China.
I don’t know about you but $300 billion seems like the amount of money that California could use not Iran for say… any one of these AB line items. Maybe “Protect the Games” Act. When they say “server” what sort of servers are they actually referring to? The ones who get tips that are not taxed or the computer ones whose chips are NVIDIA or Intel or what? I am a bit confused. Yes ma’am you and your old people’s nursing home will get access to the servers. We will make sure you can play your game. And continue stealing oxygen.
So ordered.
That’s how Americans States make their laws. I think you all understand. Still hoping for the 9th and 10th or Gavin to Save Our Souls?
This may be irrelevant to the conversation to talk about how Russians live. I am not even sure if there is a conversation. My Google Analytics probably continues to show 9 active users although Romania seems to have crept into the box. Hey Tudor and Alina. It is also highly unlikely that people will pay attention to the title. They are two different things in the title. Law is at its most constitutional and fundamental different than what a lawMAKER is. The law does not examine intent and outcomes it simply follows the writ of the land. And looking at the laws that the legislature wants to pass I can say unhesitatingly that all the lawmakers will pass their tests.
Meanwhile in Georgia… a Rick Jackson who is a billionaire was elected in a late primary amongst Republicans. He is more traditional being supported by people like Jeb Bush. Trump backed his opposer. Rick grew up poor (according to him) and yet built a medical staffing company from the group up and is now a billionaire. He got over a billion dollars in business staffing medical positions for the State of Georgia over a 2 decade period. That’s what? 50 million each year for 20 yrs. Not bad. I mean the State has a lot of medical positions and contractors and nurses turn over all the time. He is for diversity and inclusion but not for equity. He thinks anyone who believes that there is inequity or inequality in America is a Communist. Just goes to show, that even people who grow up poor, once they become riche… change.
