Why isn’t Gavin Newsom signing Senate bills?

Sen. Scott Wiener has a couple of high-profile bills on Newsom’s desk, and he’s holding events to try to persuade the governor to sign them. Monday, the San Francisco Democrat joined doctors, pharmacists and patients in support of his bill that would tighten regulations on pharmacy benefit managers — intermediaries between drug manufacturers and insurance companies — in hopes of reducing prescription drug prices. And today, Wiener plans to gather with the National Organization for Women, youth groups and others to push his legislation on artificial intelligence safety that has drawn national attention and is strongly opposed by Big Tech.
