Committees and commissions: repeal.

(1) Existing law establishes the Credit Union Advisory Committee in the Department of Financial Institutions. The duties of this committee include advising the commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner of Financial Institutions for the Division of Credit Unions on matters relating to credit unions and the credit union business. Existing law establishes the Boating and Waterways Commission in the Department of Boating and Waterways. The duties of this committee include advising the department, recommending proposed changes to regulations, and causing studies and surveys to be made of the need for small craft harbors and connecting waterways throughout the state. Existing law establishes the Joint Sunset Review Committee, which consists of 5 members from each house of the Legislature, to identify and eliminate waste, duplication, and inefficiency in government agencies. Existing law requires each eligible agency, as defined, that is scheduled for repeal, to submit to the committee an agency report, as provided. Existing law requires the committee to evaluate the agency prior to the date the agency is scheduled to be repealed. This bill would, as of January 1, 2014, abolish the Credit Union Advisory Committee and the Boating and Waterways Commission and the duties and responsibilities carried out by each. The bill would make these changes operative with respect to each entity only if, prior to January 1, 2014, a review of that entity is conducted by the Joint Sunset Review Committee and the Joint Sunset Review Committee has notified the Secretary of State of this review. (2) Existing law establishes the State Race Track Leasing Commission and repeals the commission on January 1, 2013. This bill would delete the repeal date, thereby indefinitely extending the existence of the commission. (3) Existing law establishes the Capitol Area Committee and the California Recreational Trails Committee. Existing law repeals these commissions and committees on January 1, 2013. This bill would provide that the repeal date would not take effect unless, prior to January 1, 2013, the particular commission or committee has been reviewed by the Joint Sunset Review Committee and that committee has notified the Secretary of State of this review.
