AB 2763 (Committee on Accountability & Administrative Review) -
As Introduced: March 26, 2014
SUBJECT : State government operations
SUMMARY : Makes additional changes in the statutes necessary to
reflect the changes made by the Governor's Reorganization Plan 2
(GRP2) as introduced to the Legislature on May 3, 2012, and made
effective on July 2, 2012. Specifically, this bill reallocates
specified duties of reorganized and abolished state entities and
their officers to established state entities including, but not
limited to the following:
1)Reallocates specified duties of the abolished Business,
Transportation and Housing Agency
2)Reallocates certain existing duties to the Department of
Business Oversight and the Department of Justice.
3)Repeals provisions and authorities, as specified, of the
California Collider Commission.
4)Makes other technical, nonsubstantive, and conforming changes
to implement GRP2.
EXISTING LAW , through the California Constitution, grants the
Governor the authority to reorganize the functions of executive
officers and agencies. Government Code Sections beginning with
12080 set forth definitions and procedures whereby the
Legislature reviews and reports on the Governor's reorganization
plan.
The Legislature may choose to vote on the plan or allow the plan
to become effective on the first day after 60 days of continuous
session after receipt of the plan. Once the plan becomes
effective, a bill, or bills, must be introduced, not later than
the next regular session, effecting such changes in the statutes
as may be necessary to reflect the changes made by the
reorganization plan. Failure to enact such a bill shall not
affect the validity of the plan.

COMMENTS : Governor Brown introduced GRP2 on March 30, 2012,
and after review by the Legislature it took effect July 3, 2012.
This bill makes conforming changes in the statutes necessary to
reflect the changes made by GRP2.
The Governor's office states that GRP2 makes government less
costly, more efficient and more sensible through changes,
including, but not limited to, restructuring the State and
Consumer Services and the Business, Transportation and Housing
agencies and other scattered government entities into the
following three agencies with coordinated and consolidated
functions:
1)The Government Operations Agency - responsible for
administering state operations, such as procurement,
information technology and human resources;
2)The Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency -
responsible for licensing and oversight of industries,
businesses and other professionals; and,
3)The Transportation Agency - responsible for addressing the
state's transportation needs.
In addition to creating three new agencies, GRP2 restructures
other parts of the state's organization. This bill contains
additional technical and conforming changes to effect the
implementation of GRP2.
