[California Highway Patrol] Comments 1)Purpose. The purpose of omnibus bills is to include technical and non-controversial changes to various committee-related statutes into one bill. This allows the Legislature to make multiple, minor changes to statutes in one bill in a cost-effective manner. The Assembly Transportation Committee requires its transportation omnibus bill be a consensus measure. If there is no consensus on a particular item, it cannot be included. There is no known opposition to any item in this bill. 2)Background on omnibus bills. According to the Legislative Analyst's Office, the cost of producing a bill in 2001-2002 was $17,890. By combining multiple matters into one bill, the Legislature can make minor changes to law in the most cost-effective manner. Proposals included in this transportation omnibus bill must abide by the Committee policy on omnibus bills. The proponent of an item submits proposed language and provides background materials to the committee for the item to be described to legislative staff and stakeholders. Committee staff provides a summary of the items and the proposed statutory changes to all majority and minority consultants in both the Senate and Assembly, as well as all known or presumed interested parties. If an item encounters any opposition and the proponent cannot work out a solution with the opposition, the item is omitted from or amended out of the bill. Proposals in the bill must reflect a consensus and be without opposition from legislative members, agencies, and other stakeholders.
