	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2391, as introduced, Cedillo. Employee Housing Act:
definitions.
   The Employee Housing Act requires a person operating employee
housing to obtain a permit to operate that housing from the agency
that enforces the act, which can either be the Department of Housing
and Community Development or a city, county, or city and county that
assumes responsibility for enforcing the act. The act defines for its
purposes several terms, including the term "employee community
housing."
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the definition of
the term "employee community housing."
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
