California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed 27 bills between Sept. 14 and Sept. 16, and he sent back six bills without his signature for a variety of reasons.

He signed Senate Bill 1407, introduced by Republican Sen. Janet Nguyen, which authorizes the creation of a monument on the grounds of the state Capitol dedicated to the victims and survivors of communism and instructs funding for the monument to come from private sources.
