Thread: What happens after #CALeg passes a bill? Let’s follow the journey of #SB793, which the Senate Engrossing and Enrolling clerk delivered to the Governor’s desk.
We get two copies of the bill, one for the Governor to act on, and a duplicate copy for our records.
. @CAGovernor @gavinnewsom has signed #SB793 which prohibits the sale of flavored tobacco products.


Congrats Sen. Jerry Hill & joint authors @JimWoodAD2 @Steve_Glazer @ilike_mike @DrPanMD @NancySkinnerCA @Scott_Wiener @AsmKevinMcCarty



And congrats to #SB793 co-sponsors @EleniForCA @TonyThurmond @ACSCANCA @AHAsac @LungAssociation @TobaccoFreeKids @commonsense
... to the Secretary of State’s Office @CASOSvote
The Secretary of State will assign a Chapter number, which is subsequently used to refer to the measure rather than the bill number. This copy is the official record and law of the State.
The Secretary of State maintains Chapter Lists, which can be found here: https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/bill-chapters/ Below is a screenshot of 2020 Statutes thus far. #SB793 is now known as Chapter 34, Statutes of 2020.
And here it is on Leginfo. Bills are numbered consecutively in the order in which the Governor signs the bills & the order in which the SOS receives the bills.
This, in a nutshell, is what happens to a bill after it is passed by the Legislature and is signed into law!
