Bill > AB2656

This bill, amending Section 65010 of the Government Code, makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to the Planning and Zoning Law, which governs various aspects of land use in California, including local planning and zoning regulations. Specifically, it clarifies that "the formal" rules of evidence or procedure do not apply to proceedings under this law unless a public agency explicitly states otherwise through its own rules. This provision aims to streamline these proceedings by not requiring them to adhere to the strict evidentiary and procedural standards used in court cases, while still allowing agencies to adopt such standards if they choose.
