Would it be possible to get the original text of the bill and introduce it as a prop?

Yes. Text as introduced is here: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB822 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm... All the intermediate versions are there, too, you might actually want to start with the most recent version prior to the hostile amendments rather than the original text.

  Thank you. To me this is what really matters. Anyone can slap the title 'net neutrality' on anything. People see 'net neutrality' and get up about it without knowing what's being decided upon. I read it a little bit and it's saying the State ( of California ) should have the authority to police the internet of that which it deems necessary: > SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) This bill is adopted pursuant to the police power inherent in the State of California to protect and promote the safety, life, public health, public convenience, general prosperity, and well-being of society, and the welfare of the state’s population and economy, that are increasingly dependent on an open and neutral Internet. (b) Almost every sector of California’s economy, democracy, and society is dependent on the open and neutral Internet that supports vital functions regulated under the police power of the state, including, but not limited to, each of the following: (1) Police and emergency services. (2) Health and safety services and infrastructure. (3) Utility services and infrastructure. (4) Transportation infrastructure and services, and the expansion of zero- and low-emission transportation options. (5) Government services, voting, and democratic decisionmaking processes. (6) Education. (7) Business and economic activity. (8) Environmental monitoring and protection, and achievement of state environmental goals. (9) Land use regulation. I read that and question... hmmm... I wonder what the State ( of California's ) definition on all those items are....

Possible. Unless you’ve got a groundswell of support, it’ll be $1-2M to gather signatures and sky’s the limit on the media campaign to get it enough votes to pass. Then you have to survive the spoiler factors. Like volunteer petitioners who abscond with the required state-printed collection forms. Or stuff like how big food convinced everyone that redesigning labels for GMO ingredients would significantly drive up the price of food in a massively successful two-day media campaign just before the election (prop 37).
