One of those bills, Senate Bill 1446, has attracted a lot of attention recently for the way it might change an everyday activity - grocery shopping.
"We have so many bills in this Legislature that are trying to increase penalties," Smallwood-Cuevas told me. "We know that what makes our community safe is not more jail time and penalties. What makes our community safe is real enforcement, having real workers that are on the floor."
The bill is backed by labor groups, but opposed by business groups, who say the rules would stifle growth without deterring crime.
