This measure would designate the month of January every year as Cervical Cancer Screening and Awareness Month in the State of California.

Sponsored bills
The California Constitution requires that appropriations from the General Fund of the state be passed by a 23 vote of both houses of the Legislature, but requires only a majority vote to pass the Budget Bill and "other bills providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill," which are bills identified as related to the budget in the Budget Bill passed by the Legislature. The California Constitution requires the Legislature to pass the Budget Bill by midnight on June 15 of each year. If the Budget Bill is not passed by that deadline, the California Constitution prohibits an appropriation for the salary and benefits of Members of the Legislature from midnight on June 15 until the Budget Bill is presented to the Governor. This measure would require the Budget Bill to be enacted by midnight on June 15. The measure would require other bills that provide for appropriations relating to the Budget Bill to be necessary to implement the budget, and would require those bills to be enacted by midnight on June 30. If either type of bill is not enacted by the applicable deadline, the measure would prohibit the bill from taking effect with a majority vote, thereby requiring it to be passed by a 23 vote. The measure would prohibit an appropriation for the salary and benefits of Members of the Legislature and the Governor from midnight on June 15 until the Budget Bill is enacted.
