                            Maintenance of the Codes

                                   DESCRIPTION  

          This bill would make numerous technical changes in the  
          California codes that have been recommended by the  
          Legislative Counsel's Office.  The proposed changes would  
          not make any substantive change in the law.

                                    BACKGROUND  

          Each year, Legislative Counsel's Office 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 the wholesale corrections.  For inclusion  
          into the measure, the change must be technical only and may  
          not affect or enact substantive law.  Any proposed change  
          which is identified as having a substantive change is  
          automatically excised from the bill. 

                             CHANGES TO EXISTING LAW
           
          None
          
                                     COMMENT
           
          1.  Commitment to delete any substantive provision
           
            A condition for inclusion in the annual code maintenance

            bill is that the change must be nonsubstantive.   
            Consequently, any provision which is identified as making  
            a substantive change in the law will be removed by the  
            Legislative Counsel's Office.
