AB 2330

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law creates within state government the Commission on the Status of Women, consisting of 17 members. Existing law sets forth the powers and duties of the commission. Public members receive per diem while on official business, and each member of the commission is entitled to receive his or her actual necessary traveling expenses. Existing law authorizes the commission to hire staff, for purpose of completing a specified study, subject to appropriation in the annual Budget Act. Existing law requires the commission to appoint the public members of an advisory committee that establishes a course of training for district attorneys in the investigation and prosecution of sex crimes. This bill would repeal the Commission on the Status of Women, and would make conforming changes to related provisions. The bill would provide that new public member vacancies on the advisory committee described above be filled through appointments by the Senate Rules Committee.
