As expected, when the Senate Judiciary Committee took up AB 761 for a vote moments ago, the bill failed passage 1-3, on a party-line vote with Senators Corbett, Leno and Hancock supporting homeowners by voting no on the bill.

Although the bill was granted "reconsideration," that is merely a formality; the rules of the Senate require the bill to be out of committee by this Friday. Since there are no more hearings of the committee before Friday, the bill cannot actually be "reconsidered" prior to the deadline.  As a result, the bill is dead.

Thank you to everyone for their hard work and dedication on this issue.  And we should be grateful to Senators Leno, Hancock and Corbett for their support.
