FILE - In this Wednesday, May 8, 2013 photo, California Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, speaks before the Sacramento Press Club in Sacramento, Calif.

Statements issued to the AP by his office said the bill met the constitutional test and "contains the relevant findings," while striking a practical balance between the need for confidential rate negotiations with medical plans and a board that meets in public and is covered by open-meetings law.

FILE - In this March 18, 2013 file photo the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., asks a question during the committees's hearing on immigration reform on Capitol Hill in Washington. About the proposed bill Sessions says, “The supporters promoted the bill aggressively before anybody saw the language, and certain Republicans and conservative voices sort of held their fire, but that's beginning to change.” Sessions was a leading voice in the Senate against the bill in 2007 and is reprising that role this time around, making floor speeches, issuing press releases and holding briefing calls with reporters to argue that the bill would unlock a much larger volume of immigration into the U.S. than advertised, to the detriment of U.S. workers and jobs.
