Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 15400 of the Government Code, relating to state government administration.
AI Summary
This bill, AB 2605, makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding the appointment of the State Public Defender. Currently, the Governor appoints this position, which requires confirmation by the Senate, and the appointee must be a member of the State Bar with significant experience in criminal or juvenile defense. This bill simply removes a comma after "State Public Defender" in the relevant section of the Government Code, without altering the duties, qualifications, or appointment process for the State Public Defender.
