The California Legislature
Differences from the U.S. Congress
Equal Bicameral
• Lower house is the Assembly
• 80 members elected every 2 years
• Each district has about 450,000 constituents (700,000 for the U.S. House of
Representatives)
• Upper house is the Senate
• 40 members serve for 4 years
• Half run each 2 years
• Each district has about 900,000 constituent
• Term limits
• Legislators are limited to a total of 12 years in the legislature
• May serve in one or both houses
• Only about 1/3 of bills become laws
Leadership
• Speaker of the Assembly is much more powerful than the Speaker of
the House:
• Controls committee appointments
• Present Speaker is John Perez (new Speaker will be Toni Atkins)
• President Pro tem in the Senate not as powerful
• Shares power with rules committee
• Became more influential under old term limits rules because Senators could
serve for 8 years (as opposed to the 6 for Assembly)
Other features
• Governor may use the line item veto for an appropriations bill
• State legislature is less visible to voters than Congress (media rarely
covers it)
• State legislature is not involved in judicial appointments
• No filibuster
• Initiative process means that legislature doesn’t have a monopoly on
legislation (for good or ill)
• Seniority plays a much smaller role
Problems
• Term limits
• Never develop sufficient expertise
• Especially a problem for leadership
• Less willing to compromise because they don’t have a long working
relationship with other legislators
• Cedes power to bureaucrats & lobbyists
• Has contributed to a rise in minority representation
• E.g., Latino legislators increased from 6% in 1990 to 23% today
• Gridlock over taxation
• 2/3 vote required for increasing taxes by state legislature (Prop. 13)
• Staff slashed by 40% in 1990 (first term limits initiative)
The bright side
• Term limits have contributed to a rise in minority representation
• E.g., Latino legislators increased from 6% in 1990 to 23% today
• (see NCSL web site for more demographic information)
• No filibuster
• 2/3 requirement for passing state budget removed in 2010
• Districts now drawn by a citizen commission rather than by the
legislature
• Open primary encourages less extremism

7. The Budget Process
Kentucky’s Constitution vests the exclusive power and
duty to tax and spend the public’s money in the General
Assembly.
The only bills that a General Assembly must pass are the
appropriations or biennial budget acts.
Enacting the budget is the most powerful and effective
means for legislators to set public policies and priorities.
The budget is the state’s financial plan for spending
money for specific or general purposes from particular
sources of public funds.
An appropriation authorizes a state agency to spend a
maximum sum of public funds for a purpose during a
specific fiscal year.
A fiscal year begins on July 1 and extends to the following
June 30.
The budget covers two fiscal years.
8. The Budget Process
Each Cabinet develops a budget recommendation to
submit to the Office of the State Budget Director
(OSBD) under the Governor’s Office.
The Kentucky Board of Education gives input to the
Kentucky Department of Education and approves the
budget priorities and request.
The OSBD compiles these requests for the Governor
to develop his proposal which he will share in his
budget address some time in January.
The bill will be filed in the House of Representatives
as required by the Kentucky constitution.
9. The Legislative Process
Bill is introduced in the House or the
Senate. Revenue and tax bills must begin
in the House.
The Committee on Committees sends
bill to a committee for study.
Bill is acted on in Committee or
ignored and left to die.
10. House Education Committee
Membership is selected by majority and
minority leadership.

Bill is given its first reading and placed on
the calendar.
Bill is given its second reading and sent
to the Rules Committee.
Rules Committee places on the Orders of
the Day, or sends the bill back to
committee for more study.
13. The Legislative Process
If approved the bill is sent to the other
chamber where it goes through the same
process.
If the two chambers pass different versions of a
bill, they may appoint a conference committee
to work out differences and send a final bill back
to each chamber.
If passed by both chambers the bill goes
to the governor.
14. The Legislative Process
The bill is either signed by the governor
into law, becomes law without signature,
or is vetoed.
When considering the budget the Governor has
the ability to line-item veto specific
appropriations.
If the bill is vetoed, it goes back to each
chamber. If approved by a constitutional
majority in each chamber, the veto is overridden
and the bill becomes law.
