It’s four years in the Assembly, four perfect scores, and a second All-Star appearance for Asm. Mia Bonta after another impactful legislative cycle. A member of the California Legislative Progressive Caucus, the California Legislative Black Caucus, and the California Legislative Latino Caucus, Asm. Bonta has provided reliable progressive leadership on all of the legislative initiatives she has authored, contributed to, or voted on since her election in 2021. Finishing her turn as Chair of the Select Committee on Place Based Systems of Coordinated Care for Children and Families and Chair of the Standing Committee on Health, Asm. Bonta’s recent legislative efforts have focused on protections for youth, low-income community members, and individuals involved in the criminal justice system. She authored AB 2709, which mandates the provision of up to three family visits per week for state prison inmates, and AB 846 to expand affordable rent cap protections to more properties. She also served as a co-author of SB 898, which increases protections for incarcerated individuals who report sexual abuse while in custody, and AB 2441 to eliminate the requirement that school personnel report disruptive student behavior and drug possession to law enforcement. These bills, along with her consistent support for similarly progressive legislation, demonstrate her commitment to protecting the lived experience of a diverse cross-section of Californians, and improving the public systems they interact with each day.
