Primary jurisdiction includes insurance (excluding health insurance), workers compensation, and unemployment compensation.
As a member of the Assembly Committee on Governmental Organization, Assemblymember Daly aims to foster local economies and reduce legislative gray areas. His measure to modernize current law by allowing beauty salons and barber shops to offer their clients one alcoholic beverage without the need of a license was signed by Governor Brown in 2016.

In 2013, he authored legislation that authorized regional transportation agencies like Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to use design-build procurement for transportation projects. This allowed for major improvements along the I-405 corridor to be completed three years early and saved county taxpayers up to $100 million.
