           SUMMARY  :  Makes non-substantive changes to the codes by  
          recommendation of the Legislative Counsel's Office.   
          Specifically,  this bill  makes various grammatical and other  
          technical changes suggested by the Office of Legislative Counsel  
          in order to correct non-substantive errors that exist in the  
          statutes.

           The Senate amendments  make further technical clean up changes.

          AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill was substantially similar  
          to the version approved by the Senate.
           
          FISCAL EFFECT  :  None

           COMMENTS  :  Each year, Legislative Counsel's Office identifies  
          grammatical errors and other errors of a technical nature that  
          have been inadvertently enacted into statutory law.  The annual  
          "Maintenance of the Codes" bill is the vehicle for implementing  
          the wholesale corrections.  For inclusion into the measure, the  
          change must be technical only and may not affect or enact  
          substantive law.  Any proposed change which is identified as  
          having a substantive change is automatically excised from the  
          bill.
           
          The bill contains an "all-purpose" yielding clause to avoid  
          chaptering problems which provides that any other bill enacted  
          by the Legislature during the 2009 calendar year that takes  
          effect on or before January 1, 2010, and that amends, adds,
