INTRODUCED BY   Senator Leno

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1453, as introduced, Leno. Litter: receptacles.
   Existing law requires litter receptacles to be placed in all
public places in the state, as specified, and requires any person
owning or operating any establishment or public place in which litter
receptacles are required to procure, place, and maintain those
receptacles at that person's own expense on the premises.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
