California, subject to a specified condition. This bill would become
operative only if AB 2670 of the 2013-14 Regular Session is enacted
and becomes operative.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
