(Reuters) - California lawmakers passed just one part of a three-bill package addressing reparations for slavery and racism in the waning days of their state house session, amid reports the governor had raised concerns.
Dozens of demonstrators arrived to support the measures proposed by Senator Steven Bradford late Saturday, the last day of the State Assembly session. The bills were moved to the inactive file shortly before the session ended.
The legislature did pass eight other bills which were part of a separate reparations package presented by the Black Caucus, which included measures against discrimination of natural hairstyles and requiring grocery stores in under-served communities to notify the state if they plan to close.
Newsom has until the end of the month to sign the bills into law.

California’s slavery reparation plan could include payments up to $1.2m per person
California is transforming what has been a largely theoretical concept into a detailed model that may be adopted elsewhere.
Comment:
There are lot of problems with reparations.
Can anyone move to California and demand a reparations payment?
What about mixed-race people, how much do they get?
Do the reparations payments go on forever with each new generation?
Let's say that you get your $1.2million$ check, but then you have child born, does that child also get a $1.2million$ check?
California already has the highest tax rates, and they have a $88billion$ annual budget short fall.
They are saying that reparations will cost $800billion$.
How much will each Californian have to pay?
