ASSEMBLY BILL 1353 (PAPAN – 1982)

CHAPTER 494, STATUTES OF 1982, AB 1353

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.

Business and Professions Code section 5230 was amended, sections 5412.1, 5412.2, 5412.3 and 5412.4 were added to the Business and Professions Code, and former Business and Professions Code section 5412 was repealed in 1982 following legislative passage of Assembly Bill 1353, which affected these sections only.  (See Exhibit #1d)  Assembly member Louis J. Papan introduced this legislation on March 23, 1981.  (See Exhibit #1a)   It appears that Assembly Bill 1353 was recommended by the Governor’s Outdoor Advertising Advisory Committee.  (See Exhibit #10, page 3)  

The Assembly Committee on Governmental Organization and the Assembly Committee on Ways and Means heard the bill.  (See Exhibits #2, #3 and #4)  In the Senate, the Committee on Governmental Organization and the Committee on Finance considered the bill.  (See Exhibits #2 and #7)  Assembly Bill 1353 was considered through the 1981 legislative session and was held in the Senate Committee on Governmental Organization through the interim into the 1982 legislative session.  (See Exhibit #2) 

The bill was amended twice during the legislative process and then approved by both Houses of the Legislature.  (See Exhibits #1b through #1c and #2)  Governor Edmund G. Brown, Jr., signed Assembly Bill 1353 on July 11, 1982, and the Secretary of State recorded it on that date as Chapter 494 of the Statutes of 1982.  (See Exhibits #1d and #2)

A description of Assembly Bill 1353 was provided in the Enrolled Bill Report prepared by the Department of Transportation as follows:
