BILL ANALYSIS Ó SENATE TRANSPORTATION & HOUSING COMMITTEE BILL NO: sb 565 SENATOR MARK DESAULNIER, CHAIRMAN AUTHOR: desaulnier VERSION: 2/17/11 Analysis by: Jennifer Gress FISCAL: no Hearing date: March 29, 2011 SUBJECT: Transportation clean-up bill DESCRIPTION: This bill corrects a chaptering-out error that occurred when two bills amended the same code section. ANALYSIS: This bill corrects a chaptering-out error that occurred when two bills amended the same code section and one bill, SB 857 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review), Chapter 720, Statutes of 2010, was chaptered after the other, AB 2499 (Portantino), Chapter 599, Statutes of 2010. Because the two measures were not double-joined, only the last enacted bill went into effect, SB 857, leaving out the changes made to the same code section by AB 2499. This bill corrects that error, restoring changes made by both bills. POSITIONS: (Communicated to the Committee before noon on Wednesday, March 23, 2011) SUPPORT: Judicial Council OPPOSED: None received. SB 1 (DESAULNIER) Page 2
