INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Logue

                        JANUARY 11, 2011

   An act to amend Section 11343.4 of the Government Code, relating
to regulations.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 127, as introduced, Logue. Regulations: effective date.
   Existing law, the Administrative Procedure Act, governs the
procedure for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by
state agencies and for the review of those regulatory actions by the
Office of Administrative Law. Under existing law, a regulation or an
order of repeal of a regulation becomes effective on the 30th day
after it is filed with the Secretary of State, except as provided.
   This bill would require that a regulation or an order of repeal of
a regulation become effective, instead, on January 1 next following
a 90-day period after the date it is filed with the Secretary of
State, except as provided.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11343.4 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   11343.4.  A regulation or an order of repeal required to be filed
with the Secretary of State shall become effective on  the
30th day   January 1 next following a 90-day period
 after the date of filing unless:
   (a) Otherwise specifically provided by the statute pursuant to
which the regulation or order of repeal was adopted, in which event
it becomes effective on the day prescribed by the statute.
   (b) A later date is prescribed by the state agency in a written
instrument filed with, or as part of, the regulation or order of
repeal.
   (c) The agency makes a written request to the office demonstrating
good cause for an earlier effective date, in which case the office
may prescribe an earlier date.
