	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 873, as introduced, Padilla. Property taxation: refunds.
   Existing law requires property taxes to be refunded if, among
other circumstances, the taxes were paid more than once, the taxes
were illegally assessed or levied, or the taxes were paid on an
assessment that was in excess of the value of the property, as

   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
