Legislature
The legislature handles at least five
thousand pieces of legislation during each two-year session.
Those who are interested in tracking all of the proposed legislation
during this period may turn to
three sources published by each house: the Daily File, the
Daily Journal, and the Weekly History.
The key to use any of these sources is to know the specific bill number
and the session of origin.
These documents are available on the Internet. (A Primer of
California Politics, 2004. p 112).
