This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

The California Constitution prohibits a bill from being passed by the Legislature until the bill with amendments has been printed and distributed to the Members. This measure would prohibit passage of a bill by a house of the Legislature unless, at least 48 hours in advance, the bill is made available to the public on the Internet, except that the house may dispense with this requirement by rollcall vote, 34 of the membership concurring.
