ACA 30: Part-time Legislature.

Existing provisions of the California Constitution provide that the Legislature meets in a biennial regular session, commencing with the first Monday in December in each even-numbered year, when each house is required to immediately organize, and concluding at midnight on November 30 of the next even-numbered year.

This measure would create a part-time Legislature by limiting the Legislature to meet each year from January 1 to January 31 and from May 1 to June 30. The measure would require that odd-numbered years of a two-year session be limited to budget-related measures and even-numbered years to be limited to other legislation. The measure would prohibit the salary of a Member of the Legislature from exceeding $1,500 per month. The measure would delete provisions of the Constitution made obsolete by the measure, and make other conforming changes.
