	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1734, as introduced, Garrick. Regulations: effective date.
   Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, governs the
procedure for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by
state agencies. Existing law provides that a regulation or an order
of repeal required to be filed with the Secretary of State becomes
effective on the 30th day after the date of filing, except as
prescribed.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11343.4 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   11343.4.  A regulation or an order of repeal  that is 
required to be filed with the Secretary of State shall become
effective on the 30th day after the date of filing unless:
   (a) Otherwise specifically provided by the statute pursuant to
which the regulation or order of repeal was adopted, in which event
it becomes effective on the day prescribed by the statute.
   (b) A later date is prescribed by the state agency in a written
instrument filed with, or as part of, the regulation or order of
repeal.
   (c) The agency makes a written request to the office demonstrating
good cause for an earlier effective date, in which case the office
may prescribe an earlier date.
