SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California lawmakers have a history of trying to keep the state's air and waters clean. Now they're tackling language.
The state Assembly is scheduled to vote on a resolution Thursday calling for a statewide "Cuss Free Week," to occur annually during the first week of March. If approved, it would go to the state Senate for a final vote on Monday.
The rest of next week will be officially swear-word free if both houses approve the resolution.

Portantino said the California Legislature -- known for imposing strict clean air and clean water laws -- is the first state legislative body in the nation to consider a statewide profanity-free week.

Portantino said his resolution is simply a guideline, a reminder to "act like you're at your grandma's house." There would be no enforcement mechanism included.
