<\/p>\nSacramento, CA…Governor Gavin Newsom took his final actions of the 2019 legislative season today and thanked the Legislature for their work and accomplishment on enacting 870 bills in the following statement: \u201cI want to take a moment to congratulate the Legislature on their work this year and to thank Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins and Speaker of the Assembly Anthony Rendon for their leadership. Together, we have accomplished a great deal this year \u2013 through the budget and legislation \u2013 that helps California families get ahead and tackles some of the state\u2019s most intractable problems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, California passed the nation\u2019s strongest renter protection package. Our state made record housing and homeless investments paired with big new tools for housing production. We moved California closer to universal health care coverage by expanding coverage, increasing Covered California subsidies for middle-income Californians and taking on rising prescription drug prices. <\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornia, faced with catastrophic wildfires, invested $1 billion to prevent, mitigate and recover from wildfires, disasters and emergencies. And in July, our state enacted something that few people thought could be done \u2013 wildfire legislation that moved California closer to a safer, reliable and affordable energy future.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur state is doing more now than at any point in our history to help California families tackle the challenges of affordability and provide opportunity to all Californians \u2013 more than doubling tax cuts for working families, expanding paid family leave, increasing access to early childhood education, and taking on payday lenders. <\/p>\n
\u201cOn education, California brought disparate sides in the education community together and forged a historic agreement on changes to charter school law that was years in the making. We invested more in K-14 education than at any point in our history, and put on next year\u2019s ballot the chance to make long-overdue investments in school infrastructure and safety. California made two years of community college tuition-free, increased financial aid for parents pursuing a college degree and kept tuition from rising in our UC and CSU systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have helped defend our state from Trump\u2019s attacks \u2013 blocking the Administration from using state lands to open up drilling on protected federal lands. We took on the long-standing challenge of clean drinking water systems, became the first ever to require SMOG tests for semi trucks and convinced four major auto-makers to stand up for higher emission standards and oppose the Trump administration.<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornia is once again striking out against injustice and leading the nation by example. We passed one of the country\u2019s strongest police use-of-force laws, and outlawed private, for-profit prisons. California became the first state in the nation to stand up to the NCAA\u2019s long-standing profiteering from student athletes. California took first-in-the-nation steps to strengthen our gun safety laws, protect workers and defend reproductive health care rights. We continued to make progress reforming our criminal justice system \u2013 eliminating a major mandatory minimum sentence and establishing a system to seal arrest and conviction records for low-level offenses.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proving that our state is successful not despite our diversity, but because of it. California isn\u2019t just defending our vibrant immigrant communities. We are affording all Californians \u2013 regardless of immigration status \u2013 the chance to serve their communities and give back.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn California, we are putting in place new reforms of agencies that don\u2019t serve the public as well as they should \u2013 pushing the DMV to join the 21st century, giving new authority to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to enforce wildfire safety standards, and recasting the priorities of our state\u2019s agency that regulates oil and gas extraction.<\/p>\n
\u201cCalifornia did all of this while living within our means: creating the largest rainy day fund in California history, paying down pension liabilities and eliminating our state\u2019s wall of debt. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn my inaugural, I spoke of the California Dream as a house \u2013 one that must be built on a strong fiscal foundation. For that reason, I am returning a number of bills to the Legislature without my signature that would significantly increase costs outside of the state\u2019s regular budget process. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have clearly achieved a great deal together, and I commend the Legislature for their hard work. I look forward to our continued partnership as we head into the new year and continue to tackle challenges of affordability and work to expand opportunity to all Californians.\u201d<\/p>\n
In his final action of the 2019 legislative season, the Governor today vetoed a number of bills that would significantly increase costs outside of the state\u2019s regular budget process. In total, Governor Newsom vetoed bills this year costing $1.2 billion, increasing to $3 billion \u200bannually at full implementation. He also took action on a number of other bills.<\/p>\n
