The latest on California politics and government
May 27, 2011
Today's the last day for fiscal committees to move bills to the floor, and the Assembly Appropriations Committee needs to work through about 350 measures to beat the deadline.
The committee chairman, Democratic Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes of Sylmar, put out a news release yesterday estimating in effect that if all those bills became law, they'd increase state spending by about $1.7 billion.
That meeting starts at approximately 1 p.m. in the Capitol's Room 4202. Several bills would increase local government oversight. (Think the city of Bell.) Two other bills in the stack:
• Assembly Bill 131, the second part of the California Dream Act, which would expand state-financed student financial aid.
• Assembly Bill 1151, a CalSTRS-opposed bill that would require CalSTRS and CalPERS to divest all holdings from Iran.
Earlier under the dome, both the Assembly and the Senate are holding floor sessions at 9 a.m. Budget subcommittees in both houses will also consider Gov. Jerry Brown's revised plan.
