Hundreds of bills passed by the Democrat-controlled Legislature during the past week are headed to Newsom, who is in a final push to stay in office while facing a Republican-led recall election Tuesday.
California lawmakers wrapped up their work for the year Friday, a legislative session dominated by criminal justice and workplace rights bills but overshadowed by the lingering challenges of governing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the campaign to remove Gov. Gavin Newsom from office.
Newsom is not expected to sign or veto bills before polls open Tuesday, with few passed in the final days of session eligible to be acted on yet. Legislative staff do a final proofread before sending bills to the governor, who then has until mid-October to sign or veto them. Even if Newsom loses the recall, the final certification of the votes would come several days after his deadline to enact bills.
Both houses passed Senate Bill 357, a measure written by state Sen. Scott Wiener that decriminalizes the act of loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, which the lawmaker said leads to subjective arrests by officers and discriminatory targeting of transgender people and women of color. “It provides the Senator and our coalition more time to make the case about why this civil rights bill is good policy that should be signed into law,” Wiener’s office said in a statement, which indicates that the bill may not have Newsom’s support. Wiener declined to comment.
