The Legislature may elect to vote on the plan, or allow the plan
to become effective without action on the first day after 60
days of continuous session following receipt of the plan.
Once the plan becomes effective, a bill, or bills, must be

established state entities including, but not limited to the
following:

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.
