Assembly Floor Action: Smoking: Approved and sent to the Senate on a 52-16 vote a bill (AB 4085) by Assemblyman William J. Filante (R-Greenbrae) to repeal a state law that grants authority to local school boards to establish campus smoking areas for high school students.

Bills Introduced: National Guard: AB 4421 and ACA 52 by Assemblyman Art Agnos (D-San Francisco) would prohibit the governor from sending California National Guard troops to duty in a foreign country where there had been recent combat without permission of the Legislature.

Senate AIDS: Approved and sent to the Assembly on a 23-2 vote a bill (SB 2447) by Sen. John Doolittle (R-Citrus Heights) that would require felony sex criminals, who know that they have AIDS, to receive an additional three-year prison sentence for such offenses as rape.

Committee Action: Toxics: The Senate Constitutional Amendments Committee approved a proposed ballot measure (SCA 31) by Sen. Art Torres (D-South Pasadena) to set up a “toxic bill of rights” and establish new state standards to protect drinking water and food supplies from possible contamination. A 3-1 vote sent the measure to the Appropriations Committee.
