The bills Brown has signed were passed by lawmakers June
15th. He vetoed the main budget bills they passed
that day - but not the ones that iron out the details - often
called "trailer bills." Among those he's now signed are two
controversial measures that deal with the state's redevelopment
agencies. One guts them and the other creates a new
redevelopment program that requires agencies to share money with
the state. Brown also signed a bill that requires more online
retailers to collect California sales tax from internet
purchases. Brown has yet to act on the budget bills passed by
lawmakers this week. He may be considering what to eliminate
from them with his line item veto authority. He's expected to
sign those by midnight Thursday, the end of the fiscal year.
