(See Exhibit #1h) Assembly member Shelley introduced the bill on February 26, 1999. (See Exhibit #1a) However, at this time the bill related to unclaimed property. (Id.) The first amendment to the bill, dated January 3, 2000 gutted the introduced version of the bill and replaced it with various sections relating to child support enforcement.

The Third Reading analysis prepared by the Office of Senate Floor Analyses provides the following digest of Assembly Bill 1358 as it was last amended on August 25, 2000:
DIGEST: This bill makes numerous technical changes to various California codes relating to child support enforcement. The changes are necessary to accommodate California's new child support enforcement organizational structure enacted last year, effective on January 1, 2000. For the most part, this bill replaces the references to “district attorney” with “local child support agency” and “Department of Social Services” with “Department of Child Support Services,” the successor agency and department, respectively).
