	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 917, as introduced, Olsen. State agencies: sunset review.
   Existing law establishes the Joint Sunset Review Committee for the
purpose of identifying and eliminating waste, duplication, and
inefficiency in state agencies. Existing law requires eligible
agencies, as defined, to submit a report with prescribed information
to the committee before the agency is statutorily scheduled for
repeal, as specified. Existing law requires the committee to evaluate
the agency and to determine whether the committee should recommend
that the Legislature enact a statute to extend the repeal date of the
agency.
   This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would revise the scope of authority for the
committee.
   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.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would revise the scope of authority for the Joint
Sunset Review Committee.
