	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1348, as introduced, Gaines. Regulations: major regulations.
   The Administrative Procedure Act governs the procedure for the
adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and
for the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of
Administrative Law. That act requires an agency, prior to submitting
a proposal to adopt, amend, or repeal an administrative regulation,
to determine the economic impact of that regulation, in accordance
with certain procedures. That act defines a major regulation as a
regulation that the agency determines has an expected economic impact
on California business enterprises and individuals in an amount
exceeding $50,000,000.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
