Under existing law, the Public Safety Radio Strategic Planning Committee has primary responsibility in state government for developing and implementing a statewide integrated public safety communication system that facilitates interoperability among state public safety departments and other first response agencies, as the committee deems appropriate. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these provisions.
(1) Existing law, the San Diego Unified Port District Act, provides for the San Diego Unified Port District. Under the act, the Board of Commissioners of the San Diego Unified Port District has the sole authority to adopt and modify a master plan for harbor and port improvement and for the use of the tidelands and submerged lands under the San Diego Unified Port District's jurisdiction. This bill would provide that the master plan shall not be subject to municipal, county, or district initiatives or referendums but shall be subject to the California Coastal Act of 1976. (2) Under the act, an ordinance calling for an election takes effect upon publication. This bill would, instead, provide that an ordinance calling for an election on a referendum on the issuance of a revenue bond shall take effect upon publication. (3) The bill would make findings and declarations regarding tidelands and submerged lands.
The Personal Income Tax Law and the Corporation Tax Law authorize various credits against the taxes imposed by those laws. Existing law provides that for each taxable year beginning on or before January 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2010, the total business credit, as defined, shall not reduce the taxes imposed by those laws below the applicable amount, as defined. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Existing law requires the Attorney General to make available to the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training the services of personnel to assist the commission in executing its duties regarding law enforcement training. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.

The title and summary shall not exceed a total of 100 words. Moreover, the Attorney General is required to preserve the written request until after the next general election. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
Existing law specifies certain documents as allowable forms of identification for a credible witness, who, by oath or affirmation, attests to the identity of an individual executing a written instrument in the presence of, and acknowledged by, a notary public. This bill would add a Matricula Consular, issued through a consulate office of the Mexican Government, as an allowable form of identification for a credible witness to prove the identity of an individual who executes a written instrument.
Existing law requires the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to establish minimum prices to be paid by handlers for market cream, market skim milk, or milk fat, or market skim milk components of market milk, if the secretary establishes a stabilization and marketing plan for market milk. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Under existing law, various measures have been approved by the voters to provide funds for water protection, facilities, and programs. This bill would enact the Safe, Clean, Reliable Drinking Water Supply Act of 2009 which, if approved by the voters, would authorize, for the purposes of financing specified water supply reliability and water source protection programs, the issuance of bonds in the amount of $9,980,000,000 pursuant to the State General Obligation Bond Law.
