                           ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
                              Darrell Steinberg, Chair
            SB 662 (Senate Judiciary) - As Introduced:  February 23, 2001

           SENATE VOTE  :   35-0
           
          SUBJECT  :   MAINTENANCE OF THE CODES

           KEY ISSUE  :   SHOULD VARIOUS NON-SUBSTANTIVE, TECHNICAL CHANGES  
          BE MADE TO THE CODES AS RECOMMENDED BY THE LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S  
          OFFICE IN THIS ANNUAL TECHNICAL CLEAN-UP BILL?

                                      SYNOPSIS

          This annual nonsubstantive bill implements recommendations by  
          Legislative Counsel by making technical changes to the codes to  
          correct grammatical and other errors.

           SUMMARY :   Makes technical changes in the codes based on the  
          Legislative Counsel's recommendations.  Specifically,  this bill   
          corrects grammatical and other errors without substantively  
          changing the law.

           EXISTING LAW  :   Unaffected

           FISCAL EFFECT  :   None

           COMMENTS  :   Each year, the Legislative Counsel's Office  
          identifies grammatical and other technical errors that have been  
          inadvertently enacted into statutory law.  This annual  
          "Maintenance of the Codes" bill allows for the implementation of  
          these corrections.  A condition for inclusion in the bill is  
          that the changes must be technical only and may not affect or  
          enact substantive law.  Any proposed change which is found to  
          effect a substantive change is excised from the bill.
