           SUMMARY  

          This bill makes various minor and technical changes to address  
          chaptering conflicts with provisions from SB 71 (Leno), Chapter  
          728, Statutes of 2012, which eliminated a number of obsolete  
          reporting requirements for state agencies and departments.

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          There are no significant costs associated with this legislation.

           COMMENTS  

           Rationale  . SB 71 eliminated over 200 reporting requirements that  
          were vetted through public hearings and other stakeholder input  
          and deemed appropriate to eliminate.  It also specified that any  
          bill that took effect on or before January 1, 2013, that  
          affected any provision of SB 71 prevailed over SB 71.  As a  
          result, SB 71 had many provisions that were chaptered out by  
          other bills.  This bill is a clean-up measure to simply  
          re-repeal those chaptered out provisions.
