Vote: majority   Appropriation: no   Fiscal committee: no   Local program: no

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

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 nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 50020 of the Government Code is amended to read:

50020.

When If a statute requires a local agency to take legislative action by resolution resolution, and the local agency is required by its charter to take legislative action by ordinance, action by ordinance is compliance with the statute for all purposes.
