California Legislature Passes AB 1122. In the waning hours of the 2024 legislative session on August 30, the California Assembly passed AB 1122, an AWO-supported bill to provide relief from the recently amended Commercial Harbor Craft Rule, by a vote of 69-0. The bill, which the State Senate previously passed by 39-1, now sits on Governor Newsom's desk awaiting his signature or veto by September 30.
