Both the Assembly and the Senate have scheduled floor sessions today.
Word is that legislative leaders expect a vote on budget revision proposals later this week.
Meanwhile, committees in both houses continue to work through the other chamber's bills.
Today, the Senate Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development takes up Assembly Bill 1116, otherwise known as the Donda West law.
AB 1116, by Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, D-Rialto, would prohibit elective cosmetic surgery unless a doctor or dentist had cleared the patient for the procedure.
The measure is named for hip-hop artist Kanye West's mother, who died in late 2007 after plastic surgery.
Over in the Assembly, the Natural Resources Committee considers Senate Bill 722, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg's measure to establish advertising standards for greenhouse gas emission credits.
Other committees meeting today on the Senate side include Banking, Finance and Insurance, Environmental Quality, and Public Employment and Retirement.
On the Assembly side: Revenue and Taxation, Rules, Transportation, and Utilities and Commerce.
Outside the Capitol, first lady Maria Shriver joins the nation's first lady at Bret Harte Elementary School in San Francisco to help hundreds of volunteers construct what's being billed as "the first fully volunteer-built intergenerational playground in the nation."
Shriver and Michelle Obama are both in the Bay Area to kick off this year's National Conference on Volunteering and Service.
The event lasts through Wednesday.
