          Bill No:  SB 1330
          Author:   Senate Judiciary Committee
          Amended:  4/5/10
          Vote:     21

           
           SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE  :  5-0, 3/23/10
          AYES:  Corbett, Harman, Hancock, Leno, Walters


           SUBJECT  :    Maintenance of the codes

           SOURCE  :     Office of Legislative Counsel


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes numerous technical changes in  
          the California codes that have been recommended by the  
          Legislative Counsel's Office.  The proposed changes will  
          not make any substantive changes in the law.

           Senate Floor Analyses  of 4/5/10 make additional technical  
          changes in the codes and remove one provision from the  
          bill.

           ANALYSIS  :    Every 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 these wholesale  
          corrections.  In order to be included in the bill, the  
          change must be technical only and may not affect or enact  
          substantive law.  Any proposed change that is identified as  
          having a substantive change is automatically deleted from  
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               SB 1330

          the bill.

          Proposed Section 223 on page 433 of the bill 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, repeals, or otherwise affects  
          any section affected by this bill, shall prevail over the  
          provisions of this bill.  This "all-purpose" yielding  
          clause avoids any chaptering problems that might otherwise  
          occur.

          Local:  No
