   AB 1139, as introduced, Jeffries. Bills.
   Existing law provides that a bill that passes the Legislature and

the Governor's possession on or after that date, and is not returned
by the Governor on or before September 30, becomes law.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
