HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. Rep. Michelle Steel (R-Huntington Beach) has introduced a congressional resolution to designate Aug. 24, 2021, as “Kobe Bryant Day” to honor the late Lakers star, who died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020.
“Kobe Bryant used his platform to inspire millions and help kids around the world achieve success and strive for greatness. On Aug. 24 we should remember Kobe, celebrate his life, and encourage the next generation to dream big just like Kobe did,” Steel said.
Bryant lived in Orange County, within the 48th Congressional District represented by Steel. The date of Aug. 24 was chosen to represent the two uniform numbers Bryant wore with the Lakers: 8 and 24.

Legislation to expand domestic violence services, authored by Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, has passed the Assembly Appropriations Committee with unanimous bipartisan support. AB 689 will allow for survivors of domestic violence to seek help via text and other computer-based technologies.
“We have seen a horrific rise in domestic violence throughout the course of the pandemic,” said Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Laguna Beach). “Now more than ever, domestic violence service providers need every available tool to help vulnerable Californians experiencing violence in the home.”
The Covid-19 Pandemic has led to a disturbing rise in domestic violence. In Sacramento, the Prosecutors Office has reported a 39% increase in police activity related to domestic violence over the last year.
