Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 65100 of the Government Code, relating to local government.

AI Summary

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing California law, specifically Section 65100 of the Government Code, which is part of the Planning and Zoning Law. This law establishes that every city and county must have a planning agency responsible for carrying out the purposes of the law. The bill's primary effect is to slightly reorder the wording of a phrase within this section, changing "appropriate and necessary" to "necessary and appropriate" when describing how a city or county's legislative body (its governing council or board) assigns the planning agency's functions to various bodies like planning departments, commissions, or hearing officers. This change does not alter the substance of the law regarding how these planning functions are allocated.
