TLDR: This post is specific to CA, but I am guessing that most state and federal legislative systems are on a similar cycle.

In CA, the legislative year starts at the beginning of September prior to the calendar year (so they are working on 2021 now even though it’s still 2020). From September to December, each legislator decides what they want to introduce for the next year. Bills are introduced in January. Between January and August, the bills are revised and voted on. The final vote is usually at the end of August.

So if you have a legislative idea that you want introduced in 2021, NOW is the time to contact your local legislators.
