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 all week. Sunday'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. A Sunday desk with no Sacramento paper is not a veto. The inherited unsigned slug is a URL, not the fact.

Print signed. Sunday is not a waiting desk. AB 1405 and SB 813 stay signed through a quiet Sunday. Four days of silence change no statute. The registry the bills create will outlast the news cycle that barely noticed it.

Chaptered statutes take effect on their own terms, often at year's turn unless urgency clauses apply. The registry the bills create needs staffing before it needs headlines. Sacramento's work now moves off-camera.

Off-camera work grinds; Sunday's grinds. Grinding builds registries. Headlines look elsewhere.

Sacramento's work moves off-camera; Sunday reprints the pair as signed. Registries need staffing. Headlines already spent Wednesday.

The pair is signed. Implementation is untelevised. Headlines already spent Wednesday.

Wednesday already put Newsom's name on AB 1405 and SB 813. Nothing in Sunday's Sacramento paper repeals them or adds a chapter. Independent verification and a registry are not an off switch. Four quiet days do not unwrite a statute.
AB 1405 and SB 813 still carry Newsom's Wednesday signature. Sunday's Sacramento paper added no chapter. The pair stays signed.

The pair stays signed. Newsom's Wednesday signatures remain Sacramento's fact. Sunday added no chapter to Wednesday's pair.
