__SALUTATION__
 This week we have voted on hundreds of bills!
A few highlights include voting in favor of:
- Transparency and reducing the profit motive in sober living homes, helping to identify the bad actors.
- Strengthening our public education system, while ensuring great performing charter schools can still positively contribute to addressing our kids' educational needs.
All of these bills will go to the Senate, where policy committee will improve them. They will then go to the Senate floor and if they change, they will come back for approval by the Assembly before heading to the Governor's Desk to be signed into law.
Fun and exciting times!
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath
Assemblymember, 76th District

- I joined Governor Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, along with fellow federal and state leaders, in support of reproductive health and a women's right to make choices about her body. I am proud to be in California where Governor Newsom has committed $100 million to expand access to reproductive healthcare.
- I spoke at the Boys and Girl's Club of Oceanside's Academic Achievement Awards in celebration of the 32 exceptional elementary and middle school students who were honored for their academic excellence.
- I attended the annual Stakeholder's Day at Guajome Park Academy in Vista and presented a resolution in celebration of Guajome Park Academy 25th Anniversary. For over two decades, educators, school administrators, business partners, students, and parents at Guajome Park have worked together to create academic spaces that are student-focused, innovative, and designed for students to succeed.
- I hosted the third of four Community Gatherings in May last Saturday in Oceanside, to talk with the community about their concerns regarding state legislation and the local issues impacting our quality of life.

The nearly 700 bills that made it to the Assembly floor address everything from education and public safety to housing and the environment. Through this week and next, my Assembly colleagues and I are primarily focused on deciding which of these bills will move on to the State Senate. Those measures that receive enough votes to pass through the Assembly floor will then begin the Senate committee process. Assembly bills have until May 31st to be voted out of the Assembly and into the Senate or the legislation doesn't progress further.
