Bail reform clearly works! Very informative visit to Santa Clara County Office of Pretrial Services. For the last five years, the team here has conducted risk assessments and supervision when people get arrested to determine whether they can be released safely pretrial. The data shows 98-99 percent do not reoffend and 96 percent show up to their court appearances. In stark contrast, 45 percent of people released on money bail were re-arrested in Santa Clara County. The bottom line is bail reform's risk assessment tool uses actual data to determine risk to the public and eliminates the use of wealth or lack of wealth in determining who sits in jail. Bail reform is smart reform!

Passing landmark legislation to address the state's housing affordability crisis was one of the key accomplishments of this legislative session. Thanks to our Speaker Anthony Rendon for his leadership and a special shout out to my housing partners David Chiu and Richard Bloom for our work together to #BringCAHome. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/bringing-california-home_us_59bc0206e4b02c642e4a15f7

It’s a little early to be checking “done” on the last big task of the Assembly’s to do list, but we’ve taken a major step in that direction with our vote...

Today, the Assembly passed the California Values Act, SB 54. In doing so, California can be a light to the nation and world of how policies of inclusion and compassion foster stronger, safer, more prosperous communities.

Tonight, we took a giant step forward to address the dire needs of California families who cannot afford a safe, reliable roof over their heads. Housing is not a partisan issue. It affects everyone. By passing SB 2, we have created an ongoing source of funding for the building of more affordable housing units throughout the state. In passing SB 3, California commits $4 billion dollars to construct more affordable housing and lower the skyrocketing cost of housing. It’s wrong when workers, like teachers and firefighters, cannot afford to live near their jobs. This translates into longer commutes, more pollution and more time spent away from loved ones. Passing SB 35 sends a strong message to cities that fail to build enough affordable housing. Every community has an obligation to do its fair share by approving and building low and moderate income housing.

My colleague Senator Bob Hertzberg and I have just introduced a bill to examine the bail insurance industry's rate structures. We need to figure out why the bail insurance market, unlike other forms of insurance, doesn't link the cost of the insurance with the assumed risk by the insurer. California must do more to examine the practices of these insurance companies who support the money bail industry. We need answers and transparency into why so many people who don’t pose a serious risk to public safety languish in jail due to the inability to pay bail. https://a18.asmdc.org/press-releases/hertzberg-bonta-look-insurers-who-underwrite-bail-bonds
