South Pasadenan: Aims to Prevent Gun Violence | Senator Portantino Successfully Passes Bills

Senate Bill 61, SB 172 and SB 620 all authored by Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D–La Cañada Flintridge) passed the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Wednesday.

SB 61 and SB 172 further establish Senator Portantino’s leadership as one of California’s strongest gun control advocates and enhances public safety across the state.

“I am happy that these bills are moving forward in the legislature and I have the support of my Assembly colleagues,” said Portantino, whose 25th District represents South Pasadena. “Preventing gun violence has long been a priority and I will continue to fight for sensible gun control in California. It is my hope that these changes in California law will prevent these horrible tragedies.  Our safe storage bill alone has the potential to prevent accidental gun violence in our homes.  I am also very happy that Pasadena Police Chief Perez joined me to advocate for proactive recidivism efforts.”
