California Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Irvine) is asking for a second hearing by lawmakers regarding the $600 million no bid contract for COVID-19 masks, following the reveal of State Controller Betty Yee’s role two years later.

The issue had been heard by a state assembly committee before in May 2020, but Yee’s association with the matter was only revealed in a civil lawsuit filed in September of last year.
