This legislation called for the divestment of over $24 billion of our public pensions from the Islamic Republic of Iran - the top exporter of terrorism throughout the world.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-18" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[18]</a> This proposal garnered Anderson notice on a national level.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-clock-17" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[17]</a> AB 221, the California Divest Iran Act, was co-authored by fellow legislators from both main political parties.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-doesanderson-3" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a> The bill focused on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Public_Employees%27_Retirement_System" title="California Public Employees' Retirement System" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">California Public Employees' Retirement System</a> (CalPERS) and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Teachers%27_Retirement_System" title="California State Teachers' Retirement System" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">California State Teachers' Retirement System</a> (CalSTRS), and ordered them to divest from businesses in Iran.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-doesanderson-3" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a> Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke favorably of Anderson's legislation, and acknowledged that the state should position itself to have a "powerful stand against terrorism".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> In a statement about AB 221, the Governor said, "California has a long history of leadership and doing what's right with our investment portfolio."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> Schwarzenegger also said he would sign AB 221 on the floor of the United Nations during his speech to the General Assembly. Sherry Reser, spokeswoman for CalSTRS said that the pension fund "will never tolerate support of terrorism", and acknowledged, "We will implement the bill."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> James Hawley, co-director of the Elfenworks Center for the Study of Fiduciary Capitalism at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Mary%27s_College_of_California" title="Saint Mary's College of California" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">St. Mary's College</a> in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moraga,_California" title="Moraga, California" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Moraga, California</a>, predicted that Anderson's legislation would have an impact on other state governments, "There is political pressure out there. This is going to resonate with a lot of state legislatures."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a>Anderson's bill received support from both Jewish and Iranian groups in California.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> Associated Dean of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Wiesenthal_Center" title="Simon Wiesenthal Center" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Simon Wiesenthal Center</a> Rabbi Abraham Cooper commented, "The Iranian regime is up to no good. The only thing that is going to derail them is to hit them in the pocketbook."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a> Upon news that the Governor would sign the bill, Anderson stated, "This is a common sense bill. Money is the mother's milk of terrorism."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-chan-19" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[19]</a>

Anderson proposed legislation in 2007 to give disabled veterans a free pass to attend state parks.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> The bill passed the Assembly with a 73-0 vote.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> Democratic State Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Kehoe" title="Christine Kehoe" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Christine Kehoe</a> commented in favor of the legislation, "It's the public's way of saying thank you."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Vietnam War</a> veteran and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Point,_California" title="Dana Point, California" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Dana Point, California</a> resident Bill Manes noted, "It's just a nice gesture, particularly for those men and women coming back now."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> Anderson also put forth an amendment intended to give the same parks benefit to those that had received the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_Honor" title="Medal of Honor" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Medal of Honor</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> State Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrell_Steinberg" title="Darrell Steinberg" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Darrell Steinberg</a>, a Democrat and the Chairman of the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee, commented in favor of this amendment, "I'm certainly in favor of extending the privilege to recipients of the Medal of Honor. That makes complete sense."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldwaive-20" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[20]</a> On July 27, 2007, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed the legislation into law, as Senate Bill 60.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-governorsigns-21" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[21]</a> Upon signing the bill, Governor Schwarzenegger stated, "We owe our veterans a tremendous debt of gratitude for the contributions they have made to our state and for their dedicated service to our country. This bill is an important step forward in ensuring that these homes become a reality for our many veterans who need them."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-governorsigns-21" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[21]</a>

In March 2008, Anderson endorsed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_D._Hunter" title="Duncan D. Hunter" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Duncan D. Hunter</a>, the son of Congressman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Hunter" title="Duncan Hunter" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Duncan Hunter</a>, in his campaign for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_of_Representatives" title="United States House of Representatives" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">United States House of Representatives</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-clock-17" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[17]</a> Anderson also served as the chairman of the junior Hunter's congressional campaign.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-clock-17" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[17]</a> Anderson and his daughter Mary spoke up in support of home schooling in March 2008, after a state appellate court in California issued a ruling that children who are the product of home schooling need to be credentialed.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-ainsworth-4" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[4]</a> Anderson proposed legislation in the Assembly, ACR 115, which requested of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Supreme_Court" title="California Supreme Court" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">California Supreme Court</a> to overturn the precedent of the lower court.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-ainsworth-4" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[4]</a> In 2008, Anderson brought the issue of divestment of funding from businesses related to Iran to the educational institution of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California" title="University of California" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">University of California</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-andersonextends-22" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[22]</a> He brought forward a resolution, ACR 79, which called upon the university to divest its funding and investments relating to any corporations that conduct business operations with Iran.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-andersonextends-22" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[22]</a> In May 2008, the resolution had successfully passed through the Assembly Appropriations Committee.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-andersonextends-22" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[22]</a> Anderson commented, "as a matter of human rights, it is the right thing to do" to divest from Iran, and also noted it was a fiscally responsible decision.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-andersonextends-22" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[22]</a>

In 2009, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Governor" title="California Governor" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">California Governor</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Schwarzenegger" title="Arnold Schwarzenegger" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Arnold Schwarzenegger</a> signed two bills proposed by Anderson into state law: a piece of legislation which assisted home-schooled children in getting work permits, and another bill that protected some of an individual's equity in their home from liability.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-doesanderson-3" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[3]</a> In February 2009, Anderson proposed legislation, AB-255, that would mandate blurring detail on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Earth" title="Google Earth" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Google Earth</a> images of areas deemed sensitive locations including schools, places of worship, government buildings and medical facilities.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-blur-23" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[23]</a> When asked how he had determined the list of locations proposed to be blurred, Anderson commented, "Well, I looked at where we've had security issues in the past and potentially, might have issues in the future. Churches and synagogues have been bombed. So have federal buildings and then, of course, 9/11. So, the threats are out there and as a state legislator, public safety is my No. 1 job. To ignore that fact would be irresponsible."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-blur-23" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[23]</a>

In March 2009, Anderson opposed a non-binding resolution that declared the process flawed by which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_8_(2008)" title="California Proposition 8 (2008)" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Proposition 8</a>, which had made same-sex marriage unconstitutional in California, was adopted, and described same-sex marriage as discriminatory towards heterosexual marriage.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-SB90303-24" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[24]</a> Anderson received a zero percent scorecard rating from gay rights group <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equality_California" title="Equality California" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Equality California</a> for the years 2007 through 2012.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-25" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[25]</a>

Anderson introduced legislation in 2009 regarding a concern over California's use of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOU" title="IOU" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">IOUs</a>: AB 1506 proposed to allow individuals to utilize California state issued IOUs in order to fund payments towards university education, car payments, and payroll taxes.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-stateious-26" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[26]</a> Anderson said of the proposed legislation, "Hopefully, this will allow California businesses to stay alive while the state is unable to pay them."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-stateious-26" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[26]</a> The bill would mandate that the state must accept its own registered warrants as payment.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-iousin-27" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[27]</a> The bill was considered by the Assembly Business and Professions Committee in July 2009.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-iousin-27" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[27]</a> The bill received unanimous support from the Assembly Business and Professions Committee, as well as bipartisan support from both Republicans and from Democrats in the majority.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldallow-28" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[28]</a> Democratic leadership member in the Assembly, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Perez" title="John Perez" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">John Perez</a>, commented favorably on Anderson's proposed legislation, "It is the recipients of these IOUs who are being punished for the actions of the governor and others who have gotten us into this situation. I appreciate what you're attempting to do here."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldallow-28" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[28]</a> After the July 7, 2009 vote by the Assembly Business and Professions Committee, the bill was sent to the Appropriations Committee.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldallow-28" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[28]</a> Dr. Stuart A. Cohen, president of the San Diego County Medical Society, wrote to Anderson in support of the legislation, acnknowledging, "This bill would save many businesses and individuals from severe financial hardship."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-billwouldallow-28" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[28]</a>

Anderson was the only Assembly member to vote against AB2199, which would remove "the causes and cures of homosexuality" from the list of mental illnesses and sexual deviancies to be researched by the State Department of Mental Health.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-ab2199-29" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[29]</a>

In an August 2009 interview with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_San_Diego_Union-Tribune" title="The San Diego Union-Tribune" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">The San Diego Union-Tribune</a>, Anderson identified private sector growth as a solution to decreasing unemployment and fixing the budget in California, and noted, "The long-term answer to the budget is to grow private-sector jobs as quickly as possible while stopping all new spending. My colleagues and I are committed to rolling back high taxes and oppressive regulation on businesses, thus encouraging new private-sector jobs."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-tookourquestions-6" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a> He characterized "a clean spending cap" as when asked what was "the single most important reform for California that could be passed in a ballot initiative".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-tookourquestions-6" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[6]</a> On September 12, 2009, Anderson was recognized at a gala event "Night To Honor Israel" with the "Watchman on the Wall" Award from the organization <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christians_United_for_Israel" title="Christians United for Israel" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">Christians United for Israel</a>.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-cufi-30" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[30]</a> The organization recognized Anderson as the Assemblyman, "who spearheaded California's Iran Divestment initiative".<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-cufi-30" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[30]</a> In December 2009, Anderson was fined <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_dollar" title="United States dollar" style="text-decoration: none; background: none;">US$</a>20,000 by the Fair Political Practices Commission in California, relating to solicitations of contributions towards a campaign higher than the legally allowed amount.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-marelius-31" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[31]</a> In an interview about the fine, Anderson stated, "I made the mistakes, and I corrected them as quickly as possible. We didn't spend the money. Once I realized there was a mistake, we went straight to the FPPC and tried to reconcile it."<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Anderson#cite_note-marelius-31" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: none;">[31]</a>

background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;">scorecard</a> evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.<a href="https://ballotpedia.org/State_legislative_scorecards" title="State legislative scorecards" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; text-decoration-line: none;">Click here</a> for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states.
