Series Description

Physical Description: 1676 file folders

Bill files are arranged chronologically by legislative session, then numerically by bill number within legislative house.

Several items are restricted from the following bill files under Government Code sec. 7927.7 (formerly Gov. Code section 6254(c)) due to identifying personal information: SB1031 (2013-2014); SB369 (2013-2014); SB618 (2013-2014). These items have been separated from the open material.

The Assembly Appropriations Committee is primarily concerned with the fiscal implications of bills. Most bill files include all or some of the following items: committee bill analyses, amendments and resolutions, author's statements, roll calls, records of votes, letters of support and opposition, Department of Finance analyses, annotated bill text and committee statements. Bills with fiscal implications, regardless of the policy committee, must pass through the Assembly Appropriation Committee. In the sessions covering the years 1995-2000, bill files include Assembly Republican Bill Analysis. The Assembly Republican Bill analyses include arguments in support or opposition of the bill, registered support and opposition, fiscal concerns, policy concerns and a voting recommendation to members of the caucus. Other sessions contain only the analysis prepared for the Assembly Appropriations Committee by committee staff. Committee analyses include a summary of the measure, registered support and opposition, fiscal concerns and prior related legislation.
