California: There are now two bills in California, not just one. The Assembly took all the content from the senate budget bills and duplicated them in assembly bills so they could be amended. The original version of the bill is in ABX8 8 and was referred to Assembly Rules Committee, where it may be referred to Assembly Revenue and Tax Committee. The copy the Assembly made is in the new bill, SBX8 8, which is on the Assembly floor and could be acted on at any time.
