CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1031

---

Introduced by Senator Wiener

February 06, 2024

---

An act to amend Section 9146 of the Government Code, relating to the Legislature.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1031, as introduced, Wiener. Legislative review of state agency action.

Existing law requires a state agency, as specified, to notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee not less than 60 days prior to the effective date on which the state agency will establish or change a federal aid allocation formula to a local agency. If the chairman of the committee informs committee members of his intention to waive the 60-day notification period, existing law permits the chairman to grant a waiver of that notification period after receipt of the notification. Under existing law, upon the request of the chairman or any member of the committee, the committee must schedule a hearing on the proposed allocation formula to be established or changed.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions to use gender-neutral language.
