This bill would clarify that an at-risk includes a person who is cognitively impaired or developmentally disabled.   Existing law, except as specified, exempts members of California Indian tribes from laws regulating fish and wildlife while on the tribal reservation.   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
