Rep. LaShae Sharp-Collins

Maddy summaryThis is a commemorative resolution (not a law), passed by the California Assembly on August 18, 2025. It recognizes the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment's ratification (August 18, 1920), which guaranteed women the right to vote. The resolution acknowledges California's earlier 1911 suffrage victory and notes that women of color and women with disabilities faced continued barriers to voting until the Voting Rights Act (1965) and ADA (1990), respectively. The Assembly urges all Californians to celebrate this milestone.

Maddy summaryThis resolution designates October 18, 2025, as Huell Howser Day to honor his contributions to California's history, culture, and people. It directly affects Californians by formally recognizing Huell Howser's legacy through a state-recognized observance. The bill has no policy changes or financial implications - it solely creates a commemorative date.

Maddy summaryACR 93 designates October 23, 2025, as "Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency Awareness Day" in California. The bill does not create new laws or alter regulations; it is a ceremonial resolution to raise public awareness about Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency (AADC deficiency), a rare genetic disorder affecting dopamine and serotonin production. It directly affects the AADC deficiency patient community and their families by promoting recognition of the condition. This designation has no legal or financial impact beyond symbolic acknowledgment.

Maddy summaryACR 99 designates June 29, 2025, as Scleroderma Awareness Day in California. This resolution has no binding effect but aims to raise public awareness about scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease affecting the skin and internal organs. It directly affects California residents by encouraging community recognition of the disease. The measure serves solely as a commemorative statement without implementing new policies or funding.

This measure would, among other things, declare that using executive orders to silence opposition and chill legal advocacy is an unlawful attack on the right of Americans to seek counsel and would designate May 1 as Law Day to not only commemorate the importance that law plays in California but to stand in solidarity with the legal community.

This measure would urge the United States Congress to avoid any cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) , which could harm the state's children, older adults, and families, and impact the state's economic well-being.

This measure would, among other things, recognize the serious and urgent threat maladaptation poses to the success and cost effectiveness of the state's climate resilience actions.

Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to identify a list of schools for which the county superintendent of schools, or a designee, is required to inspect annually and submit an annual report that describes the state of schools in the county, as provided. Existing law requires the Superintendent to reestablish the list in the 2024–25 fiscal year and again every 3 fiscal years. Existing law requires the priority objective of the visits to be to determine the status of, among other things, sufficient textbooks and the condition of a facility that poses an emergency or urgent threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff, as specified. Existing law requires the county superintendent to enforce the use of state textbooks and instructional materials and of high school textbooks and instructional materials regularly adopted by the proper authority, as specified, and requires, if a school is identified on the above-described list, the county superintendent to specifically review the school at least annually as a priority school and to conduct the review for this purpose by the 4th week of the school year. This bill would require, for schools that are identified on the list established in the 2024–25 fiscal year, and only in the fiscal years in which that list is used, a county superintendent to complete the textbook and instructional materials review for the above-described purposes by the 8th week of the school year. The bill would require the county superintendent to prioritize visiting, within the first 4 weeks of the school year where practicable, those schools for which the county superintendent has received information from a survey, a complaint filed pursuant to the Uniform Complaint Procedures, or any other reliable source that the school does not have sufficient textbooks or that a facility of the school poses an emergency or urgent threat to the health or safety of pupils or staff or is not in good repair, as specified. By imposing new duties on county superintendents of schools, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

This measure would recognize June 14, 2025, as Flag Day in California and encourage the citizens of the state to celebrate the symbol of our freedom and remember the hard work and sacrifices that so many made to ensure that freedom.

This measure would urge President Donald J. Trump and the Congress of the United States to approve federal legislation guaranteeing specified rights to classified workers that would, among other things, empower those workers to work in a stable, safe environment and receive livable and competitive wages, as provided.
