	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 449, as introduced, Bill Berryhill. Advertising: prohibition.
   Existing law requires a state agency, when preparing any notice,
advertisement, or publication in any newspaper or other medium, to
deliver the notice, advertisement, or publication to the Department
of General Services for approval.
   This bill would prohibit the state from expending any state funds
for any form of advertising, notice, or publication in a newspaper or
other medium, including, but not limited to, any advertising with
regard to a public service announcement or community health program,
except as specified. The bill would repeal this prohibition on
January 1, 2013.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
