Bill > SB1386

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing law, specifically Section 11425.10 of the Government Code, which is part of the Administrative Procedure Act that governs how state agencies conduct administrative hearings, also known as adjudicative proceedings. The key change is to clarify that a decision *shall not* be relied upon as precedent by an agency unless the agency has formally designated and indexed it as such, rather than the current wording which states a decision *may not* be relied upon as precedent unless designated. This ensures that only officially recognized decisions can be used as examples for future cases, promoting consistency and clarity in administrative law.
