Legislative career

During his first term, Frazier's legislation focused on roadway safety and infrastructure. He authored Assembly Bill 1113, concerning provisional driver's licenses, which sought to strengthen teen driver-licensing programs and improve the safety of the roadways. He also authored Assembly Bill 417, which lessened the processes needed to authorize bike lanes in urbanized areas. He authored Assembly Bill 513, which expands the use of rubberized asphalt (made from waste tires) in roads and other transportation projects. And he authored Assembly Bill 1336, which provides the state with added enforcement powers necessary to ensure that workers are paid mandated wages.[3]

During the 2014-15 legislative session, Frazier served as Chair of the Assembly Transportation Committee. In this role, he contributed to the defeat of a bill seeking to explicitly add representation from disadvantage communities to the California Transportation Commission, stating that "the bill would elevate disadvantaged communities and their interests above all others, and we can’t have that."
