Actually, the legislature has yet to agree on a budget for the next fiscal year which begins in a couple of weeks (like they have failed every other year). State agencies, contractors, and vendors do not get paid until a budget is approved (but legislators continue to get their salaries).
Lawmakers apparently would rather spend their time moving bogus bills like this one through the mill. That is why I am in agreement with some who have suggested California go to part time legislators. They seem to have too much idle time to really accomplsh anything. This has also led to the special election this fall that was announced yesterday which will waste millions more dollars to do work that legislators have ben paid to do and have not finished.
Once again the California political circus goes on . . .

) spent weeks debating a "School nutrition" bill which essentially bans vending machines in schools. As Michael said, you'd think they have more important things to work on.
