Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg wants to cap at 15 the number of bills state legislators can introduce this year, in an effort to keep them focused on the budget.
"The emphasis this year needs to be less on bills and a whole lot more on fixing California's fiscal situation," he told the Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert.
Currently there is no limit in either house on the number of bills a lawmaker can introduce in a single year. The Senate limits members to 50 bills over the two-year session, while the Assembly allows 40 bills over the two-year session.
Assembly Speaker Karen Bass hasn't signed on to the plan yet, according to the paper. Steinberg told the Bee it is not final, though he has discussed it with members of his caucus.
