The Senate of New California is the lower house of the Congress of New California, sitting alongside the General Assembly (GA). Together, they constitute the bicameral legislature of New California. The chamber consists of 151 members and sits in the Senate Chamber in the Californian Capitol. The Senate, along with the GA, is charged with the passage of federal legislation; legislation that is passed by both houses of Congress are sent to the president for signature or veto. The GA's exclusive powers include ratifying treaties, exercising advice and consent powers, and trying cases of impeachment brought by the GA. The Senate and the GA provide a check and balance on the powers of the executive and judicial branches of government.

Members are subjected to a term of six years; every two years, approximately one third of the senate is up for reelection.
