The California Legislature reconvened on January 3, 2022, to begin the second half of a two-year session. Legislators faced a large stack of work left from the first half of the two-year session. More than 1,000 proposals introduced in 2021 were designated “two-year” bills and had a narrow window to be approved in their house of origin by the end of January.
CLFP opposed several two-year bills that would have had an adverse impact on the food processing industry and stopped them from advancing to their second house. However, just because a two-year bill did not make the January 31 deadline for passage, does not preclude the bill from being reintroduced in 2022.
