CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE (73005)
There are two houses of the California State Legislature. One house is the State Assembly, the other is the State Senate.
Like the U.S. House of Representatives, the State Assembly is called the “lower house” since its members serve a lower number of years than the members of the “upper house.”
Like the U.S. Senate, the California State Senate is called the “upper house.”
