A California judge has ordered GOP lawmakers to revise the misleading wording of the summary for Proposition 140, which pertains to a 'jungle primary' ballot initiative. The judge determined that the GOP-dominated Legislative Council intentionally crafted the summary to dissuade voters from supporting the measure. In response, Representative Ben Toma announced plans to appeal the ruling. Meanwhile, California's Senate Appropriations Committee is set to vote on Senate Bill 1043, which aims to address issues related to youth in residential treatment. The Appropriations Committees are currently reviewing a significant number of bills, with 830 under consideration on what is referred to as 'Suspense Day.'
