2024 was a tremendous year for WMA. While the Legislature
was called back into special session to address high gasoline

to manufactured housing. As a result, 2024 is now
officially in the books, and there will be no further action
until the Legislature returns in early December.
The End of Session Has Arrived – Legislature Done for
Year
Last Saturday, at just past midnight, the Senate and Assembly
adjourned sine die, which means that no more business may be
conducted for the remainder of the 2023-24 legislative session.
Bills that were not acted on before last Saturday are dead for
the year, and the Governor is now reviewing hundreds of bills
sent to him to either sign or veto by September 30.
Two Days Until Sine Die; Governor has Until September 30
to Sign or Veto Legislation
The California Constitution requires the Legislature adjourn
sine die by midnight on August 31. Any bill not acted on
by that time is dead. Years ago, the Legislature would literally
stop the clock in the Senate and Assembly chambers at 11:59 pm
and then proceed to vote on bills well into the morning hours of
September 1, but the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that August
31 means August 31 – not early in the morning on the first of
September.

year will need to provide employees a new copy notice.
