Brown signed upon receipt. I want to thank my Sacramento Capitol Office staff for doing an outstanding job of assisting me in my research on all the bills that came before me for a vote. I also want to thank them for their willingness to improve on our technologies to stay organized on the massive volume that occurs with the legislative process.

They kept my sanity intact the last few weeks. I also want to thank Jacob Ashendorf, who served in my Capitol Office the past few months, but recently accepted a job offer in D.

Gender discrimination already is against state and federal law. This is a tax on mobile home parks and increases regulations on them. It could encourage owners to bulldoze the parks and turn them into condos. How can we be reducing transparency?
