Definition: Trailer Bill Language is the implementing language of the California State Budget Bill. Source: https://trailerbill.dof.ca.gov/

Main acronym: Trailer Bill Language (TBL)

Variation: Trailer Bill Law (TBL)

Context: We came across with two meanings provided by the client for TBL. The variation might not be accurate since a Bill is “Proyecto de Ley” and a previous step before to become a Law, so it is not common to see “Bill” and “Law” written together. 

Suggestion for each translation:

1. Main acronym: Lenguaje del Proyecto de Ley de Avance Presupuestario (Trailer Bill Language, TBL, por sus siglas en inglés)

2. Variation: Proyecto de Ley de Avance Presupuestario (Trailer Bill Law, TBL, por sus siglas en inglés)

Note: It is not necessary to add “Ley” twice (Ley del Proyecto de Ley…) for variation since it is already included when describing Bill.
