BILL ANALYSIS AB 2768 Page 1 CONCURRENCE IN SENATE AMENDMENTS AB 2768 (Utilities and Commerce Committee) As Amended June 2, 2010 Majority vote ----------------------------------------------------------------- |ASSEMBLY: |76-0 |(May 13, 2010) |SENATE: |33-0 |(August 2, | | | | | | |2010) | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Original Committee Reference: U. & C. SUMMARY : Makes a number of minor technical changes that do not substantially affect state law and deletes obsolete reporting requirements. The Senate amendments delete obsolete reporting requirements. AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill was substantially similar to the version passed by the Senate. FISCAL EFFECT : Minor absorbable one-time costs for the courts to re-program court case processing systems in order to implement the California Department of Motor Vehicles reporting requirement. COMMENTS : This bill is intended to make minor technical changes to update the Public Resources Code to reflect the population being appointed to or being elected to positions. For example, the last two chairmen of the California Energy Commission have not been men and the chairmen have noted that there have been times when it is awkward being addressed as chairman. This bill also makes a minor change to the Vehicle Code that references a section of the Public Utilities Code. Last year, AB 134 (Blakeslee) Chapter 414, Statutes of 2009, and AB 636 (Jones), Chapter 248, Statutes of 2009, both addressed the same code section. AB 636 was amended near the end of session and the members requested that AB 134 be signed first, and AB 636 signed second because it included the most current language. The bills were signed in reverse order. As such, this bill corrects the signing order problem. All of the provisions in this bill are non-substantive and without opposition. In addition, the relevant regulatory agencies have been consulted and have expressed no concerns. As the code cleanup bill, the bill does not and will not contain AB 2768 Page 2 any section to which any party objects. Analysis Prepared by : DaVina Flemings / U. & C. / (916) 319-2083 FN: 0005238
