A California Assembly committee advanced SB 1073 to the Assembly Committee on Appropriations on a 9-0 vote, according to the committee hearing record.
During the June 23 hearing of the Assembly Arts, Entertainment, Sports and Tourism Committee, testimony described the measure as creating a voluntary taxpayer support option for preserving the South Los Angeles Black Cultural District. Supporters also said the district is California’s first Black Cultural Historic District and pointed to landmarks including the Crenshaw corridor, Leimert Park and Central Avenue.
The committee action moves the bill into the Appropriations process, where fiscal effects and any further amendments would be considered. The record reviewed for this report did not show the bill’s full funding mechanism or whether committee members discussed amendments.
The hearing was one of several June 23 committee actions on bills covering infrastructure finance, festival economics and AI disclosure. The committee’s vote on SB 1073 was unanimous.
