Legislative Report

This is a list of the bills I have been tracking out of the 1800 Assy bills and 900 Senate bills. There are more hiding in the legislative process I'm sure.  70+ important bills have been signed or vetoed.  Three vetos were pulled back by the Senate for possible override and 1 proposition approved but being contested by Sacramento & Governor Newsom (AKA Newsulini)

The legislature has "fast-tracked" many bills by ignoring normal steps to check them and instead getting them ready by "enrolling" and forwarding them to governor for signature (53) +(16) on climate control. 
This will conclude this year's signing, but next year will be filled with old and new bad bills and the few good ones will be buried in committee.
Make sure your voices continue to be heard in Sacramento. Feel free to call or email your representative and the governor and voice your opinion.
