	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2658, as amended, Furutani.  Notaries public. 
 Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs.
 
   Existing law requires the Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander
American Affairs to submit, by December 1 of each year, a report to
the Governor and the Legislature detailing its activities during the
preceding 12-month period, an action plan for the following year, and
recommendations for improving the delivery of state services to the
Asian and Pacific Islander American community.  
   This bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2019,
thereby eliminating this annual reporting requirement.  
   Existing law authorizes the Secretary of State to refuse to
appoint any person as a notary public or to revoke or suspend the
commission of any notary public on specified grounds and provides
that each person affected has a right to a hearing on those matters.
 
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this
provision. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
