If a general plan has been adopted, each county or city officer, department, board, or commission, and each governmental body, commission, or board within the jurisdiction of the city or county, is required to submit a list of proposed public works for the ensuing fiscal year to a designated official agency. The agency receiving the list of proposed public works is required to prepare a coordinated program of proposed public works for the ensuing fiscal year.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
