Summary

The California Constitution generally provides that no bill may be passed unless a majority of the membership of each house concurs. This measure would provide that no bill that would result in more than $150,000 of annual expenditures by the state, as determined by the Department of Finance, may be passed unless, by rollcall vote entered in the journal, 23 of the membership of each house concurs. The Department of Finance would be required to analyze every bill introduced during a regular or special session of the Legislature and each amendment to that bill to determine whether the bill, as introduced or as amended, would result in more than $150,000 in annual expenditures by the state, and to submit this determination to the Senate Committee on Appropriations, the Assembly Committee on Appropriations, the Secretary of the Senate, the Chief Clerk of the Assembly, and the Legislative Counsel.
