Watch the California State Legislature Live: Video Feed, Session Dates and How to Follow
This feed plays on its own official site, so there is no player on this page. Use the link below to watch.
What Is This Feed?
California's Legislature serves more people than any other in the country, with 80 Assembly members and 40 senators in Sacramento. Both the Assembly and the Senate post the day's events and video streams on their websites, assembly.ca.gov and senate.ca.gov.
When Can I Watch?
The 2026 session ran from January 5 to August 31. California's lawmakers work for much of the year, and the deadline-filled last weeks of August often bring long floor days in even-numbered years. Dates change each year, so confirm the current calendar on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
California laws on climate, technology and labor often set an example for other states and for industry worldwide. Public video means a bill with national effects can be examined by anyone, not only by the lobbyists who fill Sacramento's hallways.
