Today, Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil (R-Jackson) issued the following statement clarifying the status of Senate Bill 818 (SB 818), also known as “Taylen and Wyatt’s Law":
“The version of SB 818 that passed the Senate Natural Resources Committee yesterday is not the bill the Brooks family and I fought for, but it has not been pulled. After consulting with the family, they chose not to support the amended version — a decision I fully respect. Despite this, the committee forced those hostile amendments through — a shady, all too common tactic the Democratic supermajority uses to quietly kill legislation. I’m grateful to the Brooks family and to my constituents in El Dorado County for standing with us. I remain committed to finding a path forward, and to delivering a bill truly worthy of the name ‘Taylen and Wyatt’s Law.’”
