  • In May, Assm. Baines was removed from her assignment to the Business & Professions Committee after she was the lone Democratic vote against SBX1-2, which put new data reporting and transparency requirements in place for oil and gas companies operating in the state. A bad vote for Californians, a good vote for her oil and gas donors. 
  • Although California Police Chiefs Association attributed their endorsement of Assm. Bains to her work against the fentanyl epidemic, she’s also been a loyal opponent of criminal justice reform. On bill after bill she failed to take a position, including AB1034 to ban the use of facial recognition software on body cameras, AB1266 to eliminate the use of bench warrants, AB1306 to prevent individuals who have fulfilled their sentence from being transferred to ICE custody, and AB1133 to strengthen conceal carry requirements.
