Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil to Host First Quarterly Public Safety Roundtable with Law Enforcement in Senate District 4
SACRAMENTO – Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil (D-Jackson) is announcing the launch of her quarterly public safety roundtable, scheduled to take place virtually on Tuesday, July 2.

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE LIGHTS: DRIVE SAFE THIS FOURTH OF JULY
In preparation for the Independence Day holiday, the California Highway Patrol (CHP) is launching a statewide enforcement effort aimed at keeping the public safe on our roads. With unsafe speed being the main contributor to crashes in California, the CHP will focus on speed control and promoting safe driving practices throughout the holiday weekend.
“Speeding isn’t just breaking the law – it’s putting lives at risk. Every additional mile per hour reduces a driver’s reaction time and increases the severity of a crash,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. “We’re asking the public to choose safety over speed to ensure everyone gets home safely.”
Senator Marie Alvarado-Gil to Hold Press Gaggle Following Assembly Public Safety Committee Hearing on Senate Bill 268: Violent Felonies – Rape
SACRAMENTO – Senator Alvarado-Gil (D-Jackson) will address the media outside Capitol Room 126 immediately following the Assembly Public Safety Committee hearing on Senate Bill (SB) 268. The Senator will be available for questions and will explain to media representatives why the bill will bring about crucial and long overdue legislative change.
SB 268 would classify the rape of an intoxicated person as a violent felony if the defendant caused the intoxication of the victim in order to assault them. This bill would ensure all victims of sexual assault receive equal protection under the law and that perpetrators who exploit a victim’s incapacitation face legal consequences to the fullest extent.
