Summary

This resolution would authorize the California Law Revision Commission to continue studying previously approved topics and to undertake two new topics of study. The Law Revision Commission studies legal issues and recommends reforms to California law, subject to legislative approval of study topics. The resolution would require the commission to submit detailed descriptions of the scope of work to the Legislature's Judiciary Committees before commencing any authorized project. The commission would also be required to notify the Judiciary Committees of any major changes to project scope during the course of study. These requirements increase legislative oversight of the commission's ongoing research and reform initiatives.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.

Official abstract

Existing law requires the California Law Revision Commission to study, and limits the commission to studying, topics approved by resolution of the Legislature or by statute.

The measure would require the commission, before commencing work on any project within its authorized calendar of topics, to submit a detailed description of the scope of work to the Chairs and Vice Chairs of the Assembly Committee on Judiciary and the Senate Committee on Judiciary, and any other policy committee that has jurisdiction, as specified. If a major change to the scope of work occurs during the course of the project, the measure would require the commission to submit a description of the change.
