Existing law requires the final guidebook to be completed, in time for use following the availability of the 1990 Census of Population and Housing, no later than December 31, 1993.This bill would, instead, require the department to prepare the guidebook for use following the 2020 Census of Population and Housing and would require the guidebook to be completed by December 31, 2023.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NOYES Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
