"Assemblymembers Quirk-Silva, Kamlager-Dove, Holden, Bonta, and Low abstained or were absent while the remaining Democratic and Republican Assembly members joined together to vote in hostile amendments that gutted a whole array of consumer protections of the bill." Shame on your blatant partisanship, EFF. This is a flat lie. The committee action that gutted the bill was totally Democrat-authored and the process Democrat-controlled. Democrats voted 7-0 for this (Republicans 2-1 against): http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB822 http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billVotesClient.xhtm...
