                           ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
                                  Dave Jones, Chair
             SB 1108 (Senate Judiciary) - As Introduced:  March 10, 2005

                                  PROPOSED CONSENT

           SENATE VOTE  :  36-0
           
          SUBJECT  :  MAINTENANCE OF THE CODES

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

                                      SYNOPSIS

          This bill makes numerous technical changes in the California  
          codes that have been recommended by the Legislative Counsel's  
          Office.  The proposed changes are technical and  
          non-controversial and  make no substantive changes in the law.

           SUMMARY  :  Makes non-substantive changes to the codes by  
          recommendation of the Legislative Counsel's office.   
          Specifically,  this bill  makes various grammatical and other  
          technical changes in order to correct non-substantive errors  
          that exist in the original bill text.

           EXISTING LAW  :  Unaffected

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  None

           COMMENTS  :  Each year, the 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.
