   Existing law adopts the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the
Manual for Courts-Martial, as governing and applicable to the active
state militia, including the California National Guard.

statutes creating the Manual for Courts-Martial and the Uniform Code
of Military Justice, and would update a reference to the National
Defense Authorization Act.

of 7 members appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by
the Senate. Among other things, existing law requires the board to
advise the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs on policies for operations of the department.
 
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
