Riverside Press Enterprise: Inland Empire legislator's bills go to Governor

Inland lawmakers' bills on way to governor


Lawmakers headed off on their summer recess this week, after sending several bills by Inland Southern California lawmakers to Gov. Jerry Brown's desk.

Friday, Brown signed several measures, including SB 918 by state Sen. Joel Anderson, R-Alpine. The measure will change the election schedule for directors of mutual water companies.
Here's a rundown of other Inland bills awaiting the governor's consideration (with description courtesy of Statenet):
