	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2079, as introduced, Harkey. Government liability.
   Existing law governs the tort liability and immunity of, and
claims and actions against, public entities and their officers and
employees. Existing law defines the term "regulation" for purposes of
those provisions as a rule, regulation, order, or standard, having
the force of law, adopted by an employee or agency pursuant to
certain federal and state laws, as specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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