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.

The Assembly Committee on Judiciary analysis of the bill as introduced described Assembly Bill 2211 as an “annual maintenance of the codes vehicle.” (See Exhibit #3) This same analysis provided the following background:
History. The Legislative Counsel is required to advise the Legislature on legislation necessary to maintain the codes. In order to comply with this requirement, Legislative Counsel submits an annual report and proposes a bill for the purpose of making nonsubstantive changes to various codes to correct typographical, grammatical and other technical errors.
