Governor Gavin Newsom has until October 12 to sign or veto legislation; inaction counts as a veto. AB 394, the Transit Safety Bill, was signed into law; it increases penalties for assaults on transit employees, broadens trespass enforcement, and empowers courts to bar violent offenders from transit. Bills awaiting action include AB 289 (work-zone automated speed cameras), AB 366 (indefinite ignition interlock provisions after DUI), AB 697 (additional lanes on State Route 37 despite protected habitats and wetlands), SB 63 (Bay Area transit local revenue measure), and SB 71 (streamlining environmental review for transit projects).
