Assembly Floor Action:

Child Care: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 60-10 vote a $30-million bill (AB 55) by Assembly Speaker Willie Brown (D-San Francisco) to expand child day-care program for mothers who work or go to school.

Campaign Contributions: Defeated on a 31-30 vote a bill (AB 1569) by Assemblyman John Vasconcellos (D-Santa Clara) to establish a system for partial public funding of political campaigns and impose limits on private contributions and expenditures.

Gang Violence: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 71-0 vote a bill (AB 1265) by Assemblyman Curtis R. Tucker (D-Inglewood) to appropriate an extra $500,000 to expand the Los Angeles County gang violence response program. The program received $400,000 in state funds this year.

Los Angeles Prison: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 42-26 vote a bill (AB 2547) by Assemblywoman Gloria Molina (D-Los Angeles) to prohibit a new prison from being built in Los Angeles County within 10 miles of existing county or federal correctional facilities. The ban would affect a site south of downtown Los Angeles where the state Department of Corrections wants to build a prison.

Jails: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 72-1 vote a bill (AB 2545) by Assemblyman Richard Robinson (D-Garden Grove) to place a $150-million bond issue for local jails and a $300-million bond issue for prison construction before the voters in the June, 1986, primary election.

Income Taxes: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 42-22 vote a bill (AB 540) by Assemblyman Elihu M. Harris (D-Oakland) to simplify the state personal income tax system by substituting a flat 4% or 7.5% tax rate on adjusted gross income and repealing most exemptions.

Proposition 13: Approved and sent to the governor on a 73-0 vote a bill (AB 13) by Assemblyman Mike Roos (D-Los Angeles) to plug a loophole in the property tax-cutting Proposition 13 that allowed cities and counties to raise taxes to pay for such things as public pension plans.

Sulfites: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 61-5 vote a bill (AB 1367) by Assemblyman Burt Margolin (D-Los Angeles) to prohibit the use of sulfite compounds as food fresheners in restaurants. Sulfite compounds have been blamed for serious allergic reactions in some persons and the recent death of an Orange County woman.

Peace Day: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 41-23 vote a bill (AB 1294) by Assemblyman John Vasconcellos (D-Santa Clara) to require the governor to declare Aug. 6 as Peace Day and appoint a 12-member commission to award 10 peace prizes of $5,000 each. (The United States dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945.) The governor vetoed a similar bill last year.

Senate Floor Action: Gasohol: Approved and sent to the Assembly on a 28-7 vote a bill (SB 80) by Sen. Daniel E. Boatwright (D-Concord) to reinstitute a partial sales and use tax exemption for firms that produce gasohol as an alternative to gasoline. A similar bill was vetoed last year by the governor.

Indirect Initiatives: Approved and sent to the Assembly on a 22-11 vote a bill (SB 1200) by Sen. Gary K. Hart (D-Santa Barbara) to re-establish an indirect initiative process if the Legislature and the voters approve a companion constitutional amendment allowing it.

Miscellany Motorcycle Mania: Assemblywoman Doris Allen (R-Cypress), a veteran off-road motorcyclist, gave a safety demonstration for reporters Friday at the Capitol to drum up support for her bill to raise motorcycle registration fees to finance a statewide safety program. Allen first flopped the bike. She then picked it up and ran into a newsman who was uninjured but gave her a stern lecture on safe driving. Allen ended the demonstration by stalling the bike. When she returned to the Assembly floor and was greeted with a round of applause, Speaker Willie Brown (D-San Francisco) quipped, “Why applaud when she ran over only one reporter?”
