Verification History

AI Verified Quote confirmed via web search: appeared in Senator Wiener's official press release about SB 1047 passing the Assembly Privacy Committee (sd11.senate.ca.gov). SB 1047 required annual third-party safety audits, directly aligning with the "for" vote on "Mandate third-party audits for major AI systems." Source URL returned 403 on WebFetch but the page exists and the quote was confirmed by search excerpts. Author attribution to Scott Wiener (CA state senator) is correct. Year 2024 retained because SB 1047 was the most direct expression of his support for mandatory third-party audits; the successor 2025 bill (SB 53/TFAIA) actually removed the audit mandate, so a later quote would weaken vote alignment.
