My temporary license plate bill, AB 516, goes into effect on January 1st. Vehicles sold by California licensed dealers and lessor-retailers after January 1, 2019 will be required to display temporary paper license plates or permanent license plates issued by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Please watch my video and visit the DMV website for more information about this new law.

Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4 is a measure to allow 17 year olds to vote in the primary if they are 18 by the general election. It is an effort to increase civic participation among young people and to encourage interest in the electoral process for a lifetime. 

 Listen to the story of the idea from the two Mullins and hear what today’s students think of the idea as well.

Election reform and boosting voter turnout are key legislative priorities for me. Since I arrived in Sacramento in 2012, I have authored eight bills designed to modernize and reform the elections process, including proposals to improve transparency, make sure every vote counts and increase voter participation.

I am proud to chair the Assembly Select Committee on Biotechnology.
