How to read these articles
Bill summaries are the Legislative Counsel's Digest for the latest text. Position counts come from the most recent committee or floor analysis that listed positions, so they lag late letters. Names are as written in the analysis. Status follows the bill: an article on a measure that is signed, vetoed, or still moving says so, and is rewritten when that changes.
