AB 2423 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Agriculture: cotton pests abatement districts: organization and establishment: authorized counties.

Summary

Existing law provides procedures for the formation of pest abatement districts for the purpose of pest control or abatement. The Cotton Pests Abatement District Act authorizes the organization and establishment of cotton pests abatement districts by the boards of supervisors of the Counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura. This bill would remove the authority to establish these districts in the Counties of Orange, San Diego, and Ventura.

MINOR

This diff represents a change in document presentation format rather than a substantive policy change. The bill text content is identical between the two versions; the difference is that the 'from' version uses a traditional legislative document layout with line numbers, while the 'to' version is a web page rendering of the same amended assembly text. The underlying policy - removing Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties from those authorized to establish cotton pests abatement districts - remains unchanged.

TECHNICAL

The bill was re-rendered from a traditional legislative document format (with line numbers and formal layout) to a web page format with navigation elements, search tools, and metadata. No substantive policy language was altered.
