           SUBJECT  :    Maintenance of the codes

           SOURCE  :     Office of the Legislative Counsel


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes numerous technical changes in  
          the California codes that have been recommended by the  
          Office of the Legislative Counsel.  The proposed changes do  
          not make any substantive change in the law.

           ANALYSIS  :    Each year, the Office of the Legislative  
          Counsel 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 bill, 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. 

          This is the annual Maintenance of the Codes bill.

                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               SB 1108

          A condition for inclusion in the annual code maintenance  
          bill is that the change must be nonsubstantive.   
          Consequently, any provision that is identified as making a  
          substantive law change will be deleted without question by  
          the Office of the Legislative Counsel.
