MadProfessah http://madprofessah.com The bill, The Civil Rights Act of 2005 (AB 1400) by Assemblymember John Laird (D-Santa Cruz) passed the Assembly 49-29 and the Senate 22-15 and proceeds to unpopular Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign, veto or allow to become law without his signature before September 10.

With anti-discrimination having been shepherded through the legislature, the state's 6-member LGBT Caucus turns its attention to reviving the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act (AB 849, formerly AB 19) by Assemblymember Mark Leno (D-San Francisco).

MadProfessah http://madprofessah.com UPDATE: The Compassionate Choices Act (AB 654) was catapulted into the more liberal State Senate through a legislative maneuver called a "gut and amend" which bypasses tomorrow's June 3 crossover deadline which AB 19 still faces. It's not immediately clear to me why Speaker Fabian Nunez and other Democratic Asembly leaders (who are co-sponsors) of Leno's marriage bill don't try the same maneuver to keep the marriage bill alive. Perhaps one can not do this to a bill once it has had a floor vote in one house?
