Governors don't write bills — California's legislature sends them bills, and they sign or veto. Each one below is a bill California's own record shows Gavin Newsom acted on. Bills still waiting for a decision, and resolutions, aren't included. The record shows a decision on 98% of the 2,085 bills that passed both chambers; the rest are waiting on the governor or aren't labeled in the state's record.
