LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 894, as introduced, Mullin. Cities and counties.

Existing law prescribes the powers and duties that are common to cities and counties, including the powers and duties of legislative bodies. Under existing law, if a statute requires a local agency to take legislative action by resolution, and the local agency’s charter requires it to take legislative action by ordinance, action by ordinance is compliance with the statute for all purposes.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in provisions described above regarding legislative actions by ordinance.
