On January 12, 2010, the California Assembly's Public Safety Committee approved AB 390 by a 4-3 vote. This is the first time in history that a legislative committee has voted to repeal marijuana prohibition. Due to a scheduling technicality, AB 390 died. Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, sponsor of AB 390, reintroduced an identical bill, AB 2254, which is currently active in the California State Assembly.
