SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
California lawmakers spent this week sifting through hundreds of bills as they faced a deadline Friday to pass bills in the house in which they were introduced.

SB 423 – Fast tracks the construction of affordable housing.
SB 4 – Allows religious institutions such as churches and synagogues, and nonprofit colleges to build affordable housing on their property.
