History[edit | edit source]
The California State Assembly was established in 1849, the same year California became a state. The Assembly has undergone various changes in its structure and function over the years, adapting to the growing population and changing political landscape of California.
Membership[edit | edit source]
The Assembly consists of 80 members, each representing a district of approximately 465,000 people. Members are elected to two-year terms, with a limit of 12 years of service in the Assembly, the Senate, or both, combined.
Leadership[edit | edit source]
The leadership of the Assembly includes the Speaker, the Speaker pro tempore, the Majority Leader, and the Minority Leader. The Speaker is the presiding officer and the most powerful member of the Assembly, responsible for its overall functioning and legislative agenda.
Committees[edit | edit source]
The Assembly has numerous standing committees that handle various legislative functions, including the Appropriations Committee, the Health Committee, and the Judiciary Committee. These committees review bills and issues within their respective jurisdictions before they are brought to the floor for a vote.
Legislative Process[edit | edit source]
The legislative process in the Assembly involves the introduction of bills, committee review, floor debate, and voting. Bills that pass the Assembly are sent to the California State Senate for consideration. If approved by both houses, the bill is sent to the Governor of California for signing into law.
