State government operations.

Existing law and the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2, effective July 3, 2012, and operative July 1, 2013, assigns and reorganizes the functions of state government among executive officers and agencies by creating the following general agency structure in the executive branch: Business, Consumer Services and Housing; Government Operations; Corrections and Rehabilitation; Labor and Workforce Development; California Health and Human Services; Environmental Protection; Natural Resources; and Transportation. This bill would enact the statutory changes necessary to reflect the changes in law made by the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2, and would also make additional conforming name changes to properly reflect the assignment and reorganization of the functions of state government among the newly established executive officers and agencies. This bill would reallocate certain duties of reorganized and abolished state entities and their officers to established state entities and officers, including, but not limited to, reallocating specified duties of the abolished Business, Transportation and Housing Agency and its secretary to the newly created Transportation Agency and its Secretary of Transportation, and reallocating specified duties to the newly created Department of Business Oversight and its commissioner. This bill would become operative, like the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2, on July 1, 2013, except as specifically provided. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
