SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles), commends Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB 1482, authored by Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco), and other rent protection legislation into law. AB 1482 provides California renters with crucial tenant protections against excessive rent increases and unjust evictions. 

“I am proud to co-author AB 1482, which helps ensure that California renters are provided important protections for affordable housing. Cities like Los Angeles have seen drastic increases in rent that makes it difficult for families to stay in their homes or apartments, creating a rippling effect to neighborhoods, schools and local businesses,” said Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles). “While working with our elected leaders at the local level, the state must act with urgency for the safety and well-being of all Californians. The right to housing is a fundamental human right.” 

SACRAMENTO, CA – Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles), commends Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB 392, authored by Assemblywoman Shirley Weber (D-San Diego), into law. This bill ensures that law enforcement officers only use deadly force when necessary to defend against the threat of death or serious injury to the officer or to another person. 

“Recent police shooting incidents resulting in a death has caused a divide between law enforcement officers and our local communities of color,” said Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (D-Los Angeles), who is a principle co-author. “AB 392 helps bridge the gap by providing clarity as to when an officer may use deadly force. This additional transparency will help foster a safer and more comforting environment for Californians while still preserving the ability for law enforcement officers to protect and serve.”
