Governor Gavin Newsom signed AI auditor bills on Wednesday. [1] Politico filed AB 1405 and SB 813, backed by Anthropic and OpenAI. [1] This paper printed those signatures on Wednesday and carried them through the week. Saturday's fetched copy adds no new AI chapter and no repeal. Signed is not unsigned.

The auditor pair is a registry and independent verification, not a kill switch. Weekend silence in Sacramento is routine, not a pocket veto. The inherited unsigned slug is a URL, not the fact.

Print signed. Saturday is not a waiting desk. AB 1405 and SB 813 stay signed through a quiet Saturday. Laws do not expire over weekends. Weekend silence in Sacramento is routine; the chaptered statutes sit in the code whether or not anyone reads them aloud.

Second sessions and clean-up bills come next year; this year's work is signed and filed. Saturday's code contains the pair. Sunday will too.

Coded statutes persist; Saturday's persist. Persistence is law. Sundays keep them too.

Sundays keep the pair too; Saturday's code already has AB 1405 and SB 813. Chaptered, not unsigned. Next year's cleanup is next year.

Politico's Wednesday file still has Newsom's name on AB 1405 and SB 813. A dark capitol on Saturday does not unsign them. Cleanup belongs to another session. Chaptered law does not reverse itself because nobody is in the building.
Cleanup belongs to another session. A dark capitol does not unsign Wednesday's pair. Auditors still have a registry to staff.

Cleanup belongs to another session. Auditors still have a registry to staff. Saturday did not unsign Wednesday's pair.
