           SUMMARY  

          This bill enacts the "Local Government Omnibus Act of 2011" 
          which makes 22 relatively minor, noncontroversial changes to the 
          laws affecting local agencies' powers and duties, including 
          deleting obsolete provisions, correcting erroneous provisions 
          and conforming local government law to recent changes in state 
          and federal law.

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          Negligible fiscal impact.

           COMMENTS  


           1)Purpose of the bill  .  SB 194 collects noncontroversial changes 
            to the state laws affecting local agencies and land use into a 
            single bill. Sending a bill through the legislative process 
            costs over $18,000. The committee states that should any item 
            in SB 194 attract opposition, the Committee deletes it and 
            through this transparent process, there is no hidden agenda. 
            If it's not consensus, it's not omnibus.
