Jerry Hill Legislation Passes Senate – Moves to Assembly

Ignition Devices For DUI Offenses

Mountain Lion Protections

CPUC Reform

SACRAMENTO – A package of bills introduced by Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, cleared the state Senate prior to this week’s legislative deadline and will now be heard in the Assembly. The measures include legislation that would require individuals convicted of a second driving under-the-influence offense to install and use an Ignition Interlock Device.

Other bills would put to rest concerns that the California High-Speed Rail Authority may revisit a four-track option in the Peninsula that would disrupt communities; increase protections for mountain lions; and continue Hill’s multi-year effort to reform the California Public Utilities Commission in the aftermath of the San Bruno gas pipeline explosion.
