	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1859, as introduced, Norby. Local government: annexation.
   Existing law authorizes the incorporation or annexation of
territory to a city under specified circumstances, unless, as a
result of that incorporation or annexation, incorporated territory is
completely surrounded by that city or by territory of that city on
one or more sides and the Pacific Ocean on the remaining sides.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 56744 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   56744.  Unless otherwise determined by the commission pursuant to
subdivision (m) of Section 56375, territory shall not be incorporated
into, or annexed to, a city pursuant to this division if, as a
result of that incorporation or annexation,  any 
unincorporated territory is completely surrounded by that city or by
territory of that city on one or more sides and the Pacific Ocean on
the remaining sides.
