SUBJECT: Maintenance of the codes
SOURCE: Office of Legislative Counssel
DIGEST: This bill makes numerous nonsubstantive technical
changes in the California codes that have been recommended by
the Office of Legislative Counsel.

Background
AB 731
Page 2
Each year, the Office of Legislative Counsel 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
measure, 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 the
bill.
Proposed Section 644 on page 970 of this bill provides that any
other bill enacted by the Legislature during the 2015 calendar
year that takes effect on or before January 1, 2016, and that
amends, amends and renumbers, adds, repeals and adds, or repeals
a section that is amended, amended and renumbered, added,
repealed and added, or repealed by this act, shall prevail over
the provisions of this bill. This "all-purpose" yielding clause
avoids any double jointing problems that might otherwise occur.
