Chapter 1377, Statutes of 1972

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Senate Bill 919, as enacted in 1972, made changes to statutes in the Business and Professions Code, the Education Code, the Civil Code, the Corporations Code, the Government Code, the Financial Code, the Health and Safety Code, the Labor Code, the Penal Code, and the Welfare and Institutions Code, all relating to the Department of Justice.  (See Exhibit #1h)  Senator Robert J. Lagomarsino introduced this legislation on March 15, 1972 at the request of the California Attorney General.  (See Exhibits #1a, #3, document SP-1, and #5, document PE-2)

Senate Bill 919 was assigned to the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization and the Assembly Committee on Criminal Justice where policy issues raised by the bill were considered.  (See Exhibits #2 and #3)  The fiscal ramifications of the bill were considered by the Senate Committee on Finance and the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means.  (See Exhibit #2)  Six amendments were made to Senate Bill 919.  (See Exhibits #1b through #1g and #2)  Subsequent to legislative approval, Governor Ronald Reagan signed Senate Bill 919 on December 26,1972, and it was recorded by the Secretary of State on that same date as Chapter 1377 of the Statutes of 1972.  (See Exhibit #1e)

In his letter to Governor Reagan, Senator Lagomarsino explained that the bill “makes technical changes necessitated by the recent reorganization of the Division of Law Enforcement for the Department of Justice. . . .”  (See Exhibit #5, document PE-13)
