The California Assembly advanced AB 2134, the Family Friendly City Council’s Act, during its Aug. 3 floor session, moving a proposal forward that would let local elected officials take parental leave without losing their seats, according to the Assembly session summary.
The measure was among a group of bills that advanced by concurrence during a session dominated by ceremonial items and resolutions. The summary says AB 2134 would allow parental leave for local officials without forcing them off their council seats, but it does not include the vote count or the bill’s full amendment language.
The same floor session also advanced several other measures, including AB 1651 on AI disclosure in the California bar exam, AB 2789 on mediation, AJR 27 urging federal disaster aid for victims of the Eden and Palisades fires, SCR 136 marking 50 years of coastal protection, and ACR 230 declaring October 2026 California Firefighter Appreciation Month and Oct. 3 California Firefighter Memorial Day.
The Assembly session summary is the only source available here for AB 2134’s floor action, so the reporting is limited to the bill’s advancement and the general description of its purpose. The record does not show the full vote, the prior committee path, or whether the bill ultimately covers all local elected offices or only city councils.
