Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

Summary

Existing law authorizes the legislative bodies of local agencies to enter into associations and, through a representative of the associations, attend the Legislature and Congress, and any committees thereof, and present information to aid the passage of legislation which the association deems beneficial to the local agencies in the association, among other things. Existing law authorizes a legislative body to withdraw from the association at any time by resolution. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the withdrawal provision.
