The 2025-2026 legislative session has adjourned, and I am headed to the district.
I am proud of my bills that made it on the Governor's desk, this year. We worked on policies to promote accountability, inclusivity, and sustainability.
I look forward to coming back home to engage with our local community and leaders.
Cheers,
Assemblymember Tasha Boerner

Transparency & Accountability for the CPUC
AB 353 passed the Assembly Floor 48-8 and is headed to the Governor's desk!
AB 353 would establish an independent, appointed Inspector General at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) who would conduct regular, public audits of the CPUC to prevent waste and inefficiencies and identify areas for improvement.
AB 353 is about good governance and transparency at the CPUC.
Headed to the Governor's Desk
My bill, Protecting Consumers Against Greenwashing Act, is headed to the Governor's desk!
AB 2253, would protect consumers from deceptive recycled content claims by requiring companies that advertise recycled content in their products to be honest about the amount of recycled material used.
Thank you to my team and sponsor, Californians Against Waste, for your hard work on this bill!
