New CA bill AB1184 being considered: Up to $10K rebate for EV purchases

[cgiGuy]

They're moving through like 8 of these a minute. Vote only.

 

[cgiGuy]

Or is it Stern? either way a while. Currently in C's

I think you're right, Ting is the Assemblymember who authored.

 

[insaneoctane]

I sure hope they read these....they are moving through these fast!

Can someone explain the whole process of this?

Here's the CA rules I think: Overview of Legislative Process

Here's the bill history: Bill History

If I'm reading the history right, the Assembly approved the bill. Now the Senate is voting to approve the bill (maybe today if they have time?). However, the senate made some amendments, right? If it does pass, according to the rules, the Assembly has to then agree with the amendments? This is another vote I take it?

Can anyone with a better understanding of this process explain it?

Maybe they read them before and just have a list of whether they will vote yes/no ahead of time?

They are currently getting bills "out" to the floor. Out of the committee. I think the Assembly does not take another look until it passes the full senate floor. Currently in F's.

 

[CheeseJam]

Gotcha, that makes sense. Assuming this makes it out of committee, it looks like the bill has to be passed by the Senate by September 15th I think. Then looked at by the Assembly?

AB 1239 Building standards: electric vehicle charging infrastructure
is going to the floor.

Currently in M's.

It's alphabetical by sponsor, not bill number.. You 're good still.

 

[Troy916]

Currently in the R's. 1184 is either S or T

 

[cgiGuy]

Here we go!

5-2 it's going to the floor


btw, back when they put in the suspense file,
2 of the committee members were concerned about safety of the workers
1 of the committee members was concerned about rich people getting the incentives.

Longest hesitation of a vote of everything I've seen today!

No kidding! That was hilarious. "We need your vote, please..."

5-2 it's going to the floor

It should be noted that there was discussion by Assemblymember Ting who talked about making sure this isn't for "millionaires", so don't be surprised to see amendments with income caps.

Also, several members addressed labor issues (safety) that seemed to be directed at Tesla, and wanted to include something in the bill that would ensure that is addressed. It was pretty vague, overall.

Anyone care to explain what's next in this process?

I'm not an expert, but this is what I found:
What is the "Suspense File"?
After bills are introduced in the California Senate or Assembly, they are referred and heard in policy committees. Bills with fiscal implications that pass their policy committees move to the Appropriations committee. Any bill with an annual cost of $150,000 or more is automatically be "put on the Suspense file," which is a holding place for bills with significant fiscal impacts.

Bills that get voted "off suspense" then go to the full Assembly or Senate for a vote. Bills that are "held on suspense" die.

Its my understanding the bill now goes to the CA senate for vote, and if it passes it goes to Jerry for signature or veto to become law.

 

[insaneoctane]

If the next step is to go to the CA senate for vote, how do we know when this might happen?
