CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE

‘RESISTANCE’ BILLS Here’s a sampling of anti-Trump bills passed by the Legislature and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown:

Muslim registry safeguard: Senate Bill 31, by Sen. Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens, prevents state agencies from sharing information that could be used to compile a national registry based on religion, national origin or ethnicity.

Climate-change censorship: Responding to fears of censorship among government climate scientists, Senate Bill 51, the Whistleblower and Public Data Protection Act, by Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, adds protections for federal employees and directs California agencies to protect scientific information and data from censorship or destruction by the federal government.

‘Sanctuary state’: Senate Bill 54, by Senate Leader Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, aims to prevent local law enforcement officers from assisting with a promised crackdown on illegal immigration by restricting communication between local officers and federal agents about people in custody, with the exception of those convicted of most felonies within the past 15years. Landlords and immigrants: Assembly Bill 291, by Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, would make it illegal for landlords to use someone’s real or perceived immigration status against them.

Your warrant, please: Another bill by Chiu, Assembly Bill 450, was carried in anticipation of stepped-up workplace immigration raids and would require an employer to require proper court documents before allowing immigration agents access to the workplace or to employee information.

‘Dreamer’ protections: As soon as President Trump announced he would be phasing out the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which grants work permits to young people brought into the country illegally as children (many of whom refer to themselves as “Dreamers”), lawmakers issued a flurry of bills and sent the governor a budget bill with $30million in legal and college financial aid for DACA recipients. Assembly Bill 21, by Assemblyman Ash Kalra, D-San Jose, would require CSU and community colleges to expand protections for college DACA students and their families. THWARTED RESISTANCE Here are some of the resistance bills that stalled in the Legislature:

Border wall: Senate Bill 30, by Lara, would have prevented the state from doing business with contractors involved in the construction of the president’s proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico — specifically on the California border.

Internet privacy: After Congress struck down federal regulations that aimed to protect internet users from having their online activities secretly tracked and sold, Assemblyman Ed Chau unveiled Assembly Bill 375, which would require broadband providers to follow such rules in California.

Offshore drilling: Senate Bill 188, by Sens. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara; Ricardo Lara, D-Bell Gardens; and Senate Leader Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles, would have prohibited the California State Lands Commission from allowing new or additional exploration, development or production of oil or natural gas offshore “that would result in the increase of oil or natural gas production from federal waters.”

Clean Air Act: Amid the threat of environmental rollbacks came Senate Bill 49, from Sens. Kevin de León and Henry Stern, which sought to make the existing protections under the federal Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act enforceable under state law.

Climate change: Senate Bill 100, by de León, would have committed California to generating 100percent of its electricity from clean sources, breaking from global-warming fossil fuels.
