Abolishing California Budget Sessions Debated
In Sacramento on April 2 the California Senate asked its judiciary committee to study abolishing budget sessions and draft a constitutional amendment if approved. The 1945 law replaced biennial sessions with a 30 day budget meeting and a 120 day general session in alternate years.
