Probably ought to be 'How things are SUPPOSED to work' …
This sticky consolidates several other stickies, so we can cut down the number in the 2A forum. HOW A BILL BECOMES LAW - In California, how does a bill become law? Shortest possible summary: Bills are submitted, reviewed by committees, voted on by whole house, move to the other house, repeat committees and full house, go to the Governor - that's usually in September.HOW TO READ THE BILLS - Beginner's Guide to Reading California Bills and Bill Pages Please use the NEW web site - http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...chClient.xhtml 2017 California Bill INDEX THREAD - look here to find the Calguns threads about bills HOW TO CONTACT LEGISLATORS ABOUT A BILL Lots of ways in 2013HOW DO I FIND OUT HOW A CALIFORNIA LEGISLATOR VOTED? Sacramento BEE used to have a page but they dropped it. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO have special-interest pages, but nothing specializing in gun bills.
