<p>La legislatura de California consiste del Senado, 40 senadores y la Cámara Baja, 80 asambleístas. Cada propuesta de ley empieza como una idea. Californianos, organizaciones, grupos de presiones políticas y otros grupos sugieren ideas a legisladores. Los legisladores deciden aceptar estas ideas o crean sus propias ideas. Cuando la idea es aceptada por el legislador, la idea es escrita como una propuesta de ley por los abogados de la legislatura.</p>
