The legislature for the world's 7th biggest economy working part-time? That's not realistic. Even if they tried to implement it, the size of the budget and the number of people each state senator and assemblyman represents would dictate that they spend all their time on their legislative job. If they are out of town, influence would devolve to lobbyists and administrative hacks, working with whoever is governor.

A better solution to an out of control legislature is spending limits. If the feds would control the border, that would help, too.

Here's another suggestion.

Since the courts threw out the basis for the California State Senate in the 1980's, and ordered both state legislative chambers be be elected by identical means, why bother with two separate chambers? Cut the duplicity. Have a single legislative chamber like Nebraska, cut the cost of operating government, speed up the legislation process, and send half the current legislators packing due to the judges they helped appoint that made the ruling in the first place. In fact, toss out the state assembly. The state senate is more conservative.
