Adrin Nazarian is a Democratic California assemblyman who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran. Now, he represents the 46th District, which covers the San Fernando Valley. “Going through what’s been happening the last few days just has made us relive a lot of the past challenges,” Nazarian said.

The state’s current minimum requirements for construction allow new buildings to be so severely damaged in a major earthquake that they must be torn down.

Democratic lawmakers on Monday passed legislation that would allow teachers and school staff to request temporary confiscation of a person’s firearms. Employers and co-workers at businesses could also request gun violence restraining orders, under the bill.

Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian introduced legislation extending the highly successful film tax credit to 2025. The current film tax credit is set to expire on June 30, 2020.

Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian championed a huge win for patients against health insurance companies. “Step therapy” or “fail-first” allows insurance plans to deny coverage of newer, effective medications until patients try older, cheaper options first. AB 374 gives doctors exemption options to override Step Therapy, putting patients first.

In Assemblymember Nazarian’s first term in office, he passed AB 577, which overturned the ban on light-rail in the San Fernando Valley. This legislation has opened the door for real mass transit options in the Valley.

Governor Brown signed sweeping gun control legislation passed by the Legislature in the wake of too many senseless mass shootings. California has taken decisive action because the Republican-lead Congress refuses to stand up to the NRA and pass common sense gun control.
