Cities.

Impact

AB 2181's impact on state law is generally considered to be minimal, as it intends to make a nonsubstantive change, which means it does not alter existing powers or responsibilities of local governments. The primary effect of the bill is to ensure that the definition of 'legislative body' aligns consistently with current practices and interpretations. This clarity may aid in the administration of local governance policies and strengthen the procedural framework governing city operations.

Summary

Assembly Bill No. 2181, introduced by Assembly Member McCarty on February 12, 2018, proposes a modification to Section 34000 of the Government Code pertaining to cities. The bill primarily seeks to amend the definition of a 'legislative body' to include the board of trustees, city council, or any other governing body of a city. This amendment aims to clarify the terminology used within the governmental framework regarding local governance.

Contention

While the bill does not seem to raise significant points of contention within the legislative discussions, there may still be underlying concerns regarding the implications of defining 'legislative body.' Stakeholders could debate whether this clarification effectively addresses the complexities of local governance or if it simply reiterates existing standards. Overall, major opposition or controversy surrounding AB 2181 has not been highlighted in the discussions or available summaries.
