    KREKORIAN ENDS FIRST TERM AS MOST EFFECTIVE
    FRESHMAN MEMBER OF THE ASSEMBLY


    Glendale, CA - Assemblymember Paul Krekorian completed his first term in
    the Legislature with the most bills signed into law of any freshman
    member of the State Assembly. With 16 bills signed by the Governor in
    the two-year term, Krekorian is the most effective legislator among the
    37 first-term members of the Assembly.

    "I've worked hard to achieve important public policy goals in a
    bipartisan way," said Krekorian. "I'm really pleased that I've had a
    lot of legislative success by working with my colleagues and the
    Governor to find common sense solutions to real problems."

    Assemblymember Krekorian's legislative accomplishments include a wide
    range of policies that will make a positive difference for the people of
    California. Some of the significant achievements among the Krekorian
    bills signed by the Governor this year are:

    AB 2098, which protects Californians from the health risks associated
    with tainted meat and encourages more humane treatment of farm animals;

    AB 1163, which improves adult education by allowing local school
    districts greater flexibility to use technology and apply innovative
    approaches;

    AB 2758, which gives the Secretary of State stronger tools to ensure the
    accuracy and integrity of elections;

    AB 1461, which increases access to drug and alcohol abuse screening and
    treatment;

    AB 1894, which protects public health by making HIV screening more
    readily available;

    AB 1394 and AB 2750, which strengthen California's protection of
    intellectual property against counterfeiters who endanger public safety
    and cost jobs.

    In addition to his strong record of legislative achievement, Krekorian
    has taken important leadership roles in the long-term development of
    several policy areas that are critical to California's future. He is
    the Chair of the Select Committee on the Preservation of California's
    Entertainment Industry, which is advancing a number of proposals to keep
    film and television production jobs here in California. He is also
    chairing the Assembly's bipartisan task force that is developing
    California's renewable energy strategies and goals for the next decade.

    Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) represents the cities of
    Burbank and Glendale, and the Los Angeles communities of Atwater
    Village, Los Feliz, North Hollywood, Silver Lake, Toluca Lake, Valley
    Glen, Valley Village and Van Nuys.
