Sacramento AP. Gov. Reagan wins committee approval for anti obscenity package, first major change in California law in eight years. GOP majority helps pass two Lagomarsino bills creating a special harmful matter standard for under 18 and expanding obscenity prosecution, with Lynch supporting the measure.
The Los Angeles City Council rejected a gun registration bill by a 10 to 2 vote. The obscenity measure expands the definition and targets promotional material deemed to appeal to prurient interests, with penalties up to $10,000 and one year in jail.
In Sacramento Republican Howard Way won the Senate presidency pro tempore by 38 to 1, replacing Hugh Burns after a bitter farewell. Burns, 67, served 13 years in the post, signaling a political shakeup with promises of curbing lobbyist influence and reforming Senate leadership amid a party split in the Assembly and talks of special elections.
Gov. Reagan signed a bill in Sacramento extending the rebate deadline for California homeowners by nine days. The measure allows applicants to file for last year’s $70 property tax rebates, easing confusion with income tax filing dates.
The Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee reversed course and backed Gov. Ronald Reagan's plan to rebate 10 percent of the state income tax directly to taxpayers next year.
Sacramento Assembly approved a bill defining fiscal accountability for petition circulators. The measure, sponsored by James A. Hayes, requires receipts and expenditures to be filed within 35 days after the deadline, even if the petition fails to reach the ballot.
