Hundreds of CA bills face Friday deadline to pass first house - sacbee.com: "For most of this year, meetings of the full state Assembly and Senate have been rather brief affairs, filled with award ceremonies, eulogies for departed constituents and votes on the relatively few bills that emerged early from legislative committees. That changes this week, when more than 600 bills face a Friday deadline to pass their first house or wait until 2008 for a chance to reach the governor's desk. Both houses plan long sessions that could, at least in the Assembly's case, stretch into the night to clear their clogged agendas."
