Legislativ­e rules

-

54 Question: Should most legislativ­e bills be subject to a 72-hour waiting period before final passage, so the public can review the contents? Money raised for “Yes” campaign: $10.7 million What you should know: This propositio­n is trying to change the way lawmakers pass bills in Sacramento and would largely abolish the practice of last-minute amendments that then get quickly sent to a governor or signed into law. The proposal would require almost all bills in the Legislatur­e be available for public review for 72 hours before a final vote in either house. It also would allow footage of legislativ­e hearings to be used in political campaigns.
