	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 187, as introduced, Harman. Family law.
   Existing provisions governing family law define "state" to
include, a state, the District of Columbia, or a commonwealth, a
territory, or an insular possession subject to the jurisdiction of

   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
definition.
