Assemblymember Lee has been a consistent progressive voice on social issues throughout his time in the assembly. In 2021, he found notable success in the passage of bills related to justice and housing. AB 898 requires the Department of Justice to do a monthly audit of records to identify individuals who are eligible for conviction record relief, AB 1228 provides greater protections for individuals under supervised release, and AB 1061 limits the water utility fees that can be billed to mobile home residents. As a member of the Committees on Transportation, Education, and Budget, Asm. Lee is well positioned to continue to lead on legislation that increases equity and access for Californians.
