On Tuesday, two bills sponsored by Felony Murder Elimination project were heard in Public Safety Committees in the California Assembly and Senate.
After passing on the full Senate floor in May, Senate Bill 94 (Dave Cortese, SD15) was heard in a Assembly Public Safety Committee hearing and passed with a 6-2 vote (Y-Bonta, Bryan, Jackson, Jones-Sawyer, Ortega, Santiago; N-Alanis, Lackey).
Conversely, after passing on the full Assembly floor also in May, Assembly Bill 958 (Miguel Santiago, AD54) was heard in the Seante Public Safety Commitee hearing and passed with a 4-1 vote (Y-Bradford, Skinner, Wahab, Wiener; N-Ochoa Bogh).
