   An act to amend Section 50200 of the Health and Safety Code,

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 790, as introduced, Ting. Housing and home financing.
   The Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Financing Act
declares that housing is of vital statewide importance to the health,
safety, and welfare of the residents of the state and that it is the
policy of the state to provide a decent home and suitable living
environment for every California family. That act provides that its
provisions shall be liberally construed and shall prevail over other
conflicting laws.
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 50200 of the Health and Safety Code is amended
to read:
   50200.  The exercise of powers specified in this division will be
in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state, for their
well-being and prosperity, and for the improvement of their social
and economic conditions. Therefore, this division shall be liberally
construed to effect its purposes. In the event of  a 
conflict between this division and  any other  
another  provision of law, the provisions of this division shall
be deemed controlling. If any clause, sentence, paragraph, or
section of this division is held invalid by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the decision shall not affect or impair any of the
remaining provisions.
