The California Legislature extended its annual session into an extra day, approving a raft of measures on Artificial Intelligence regulation, aid for children of illegal immigrants, and environmental policies.

The push came amid a projected $12 billion budget deficit and declining federal funds, leaving Gov. Gavin Newsom to decide by mid-October on hundreds of bills.
