An act to amend Section 14890 of the Health and Safety Code, relating to weed abatement.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2942, as introduced, Rodriguez. Abatement of hazardous weeds: notices to destroy.

Existing law requires a county board of supervisors to designate a county agricultural commissioner or another specified person to give notice to destroy weeds by conspicuously posting in front of the property on which or in front of which the nuisance exists or, if the property has no frontage upon any street, highway, or road, then upon the portion of the property nearest to a street, highway, or road or upon the portion of the property most likely to give actual notice to the owner.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to these provisions.
