   An act to amend Section 434 of the Food and Agricultural Code,
relating to state agriculture.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 196, as introduced, Cannella. State agriculture: informational
materials.
   Existing law requires the Department of Food and Agriculture to
issue and cause to be printed and distributed to county agricultural
commissioners, and to other persons as specified, illustrative
materials or statements which contain information which is best
adapted to advance the interest, business, and development of
agriculture in the state. Existing law also authorizes the department
to broadcast portions of illustrative materials or statements to
exhibit or display data and material that have been collected or
prepared, and to incur expenses which are necessarily incidental to
the exhibit or display of that data and material.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
