First-in-the-nation measure on assault weapons patterned after Texas anti-abortion law
June 30, 2022 - SACRAMENTO – Sen. Bob Hertzberg of Van Nuys released the following after the state Senate late Wednesday sent Gov. Newsom Senate Bill 1327, a plan to help end gun violence by allowing private citizens to sue gun manufacturers.
“If we save one life – one life! – we’ve done the right thing,” Hertzberg said shortly before the 26-to-9 vote.
Gov. Newsom backs the first-in-the-nation law and is expected to sign the bill almost immediately.
Bill joint-author Anthony Portantino of La Canada Flintridge praised the gun-safety measure.
“SB 1327 is an important step forward to address the gun violence epidemic in our country and I am grateful that it is headed to the governor’s desk,” Portantino said.
