Four Schiavo bills advance with bipartisan support

Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo, D-chatsworth, announced that four of her key bills advanced out of committee unanimously and with bipartisan support.

“Common-sense solutions are not partisan. Passing these bills with support from Republicans and Democrats shows that when lawmakers come together and rise above partisan politics to support common-sense solutions, real change can happen,” Schiavo, whose district includes most of the Santa Clarita Valley, said in a prepared statement. “These bills address priority issues for our community, including real solutions to homelessness, protecting seniors and the disabled community, housing foster youth, eliminating insurance deductibles, and taking us into the future to electrify roads.”

According to the statement released by Schiavo’s office, the bills that cleared their respective committee hurdles and moved one step closer to reaching the full Assembly are:
