           SUMMARY  

          This bill makes various statutory and technical changes to  
          reflect the merger of the former Office of Emergency Services  
          (OES) and the former Office of Homeland Security (OHS) into the  
          California Emergency Management Agency (Cal EMA) in January 1,  
          2009.   

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          This bill eliminates the statute for 13 different reports that  
          CalEMA is required to produce and instead requires the  
          information to be included in CalEMA's annual report.  This  
          reduction in workload may result in minor GF savings.  

           COMMENTS  

           1)Purpose  . This bill is a Cal EMA-sponsored bill.  It consists  
            of statutory clean-up that changes various statutory  
            references to Office of Emergency Services and the Office of  
            Homeland Security to reflect the merger.  The bill also  
            eliminates duplicative reports and committees.  

           2)Related Legislation  . AB 38 (Nava; Chapter 372, Statutes of  
            2008) merges the Office of Emergency Services and the Office  
            of Homeland Security to create the California Emergency  
            Management Agency.
