California Assembly Bill AB2033 Introduced / Bill

 BILL NUMBER: AB 2033INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Wilk FEBRUARY 16, 2016 An act to amend Sections 11343.5 and 26803.5 of the Government Code, relating to regulations. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 2033, as introduced, Wilk. Code of Regulations: distribution. Existing law requires the State Printing Office to file one copy of the published copies of the California Code of Regulations with to the county clerk in each county, to be made available for public inspection. Existing law authorizes the county clerk to delegate, to the paid county law librarian or the librarian in charge of the county law library, the duty of accepting and making the regulations available, if certain conditions are met. This bill would instead require the State Printing Office to file the latest published copies of the California Code of Regulations with the librarian in charge of the county library, to be made available for public inspection, and would make conforming changes. Because this bill would impose new duties on local officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
