SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- State lawmakers have wrapped up their two-year session by sending Gov. Jerry Brown bills dealing with groundwater regulations, political ethics and guns, all driven by high-profile issues captivating Californians.
They adjourned early Saturday morning, a day before the bill deadline.
Among their last acts was approving a package of historic groundwater regulations amid the worst drought in a generation. The bills would require some local governments develop plans for managing fast depleting basins.
The Legislature also approved a pair of campaign-disclosure bills. They followed a flurry of ethics proposals after two Democratic senators were arrested on federal corruption charges this year.
Another bill allows judges to prohibit a potentially dangerous person from possessing guns. It was inspired by a murderous rampage in May near the University of California, Santa Barbara.
