Existing law, the Bronzan-McCorquodale Act, governs the organization and financing of community mental health services for persons with mental health disorders in every county through locally administered and locally controlled community mental health programs. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Existing law, the State Housing Law, generally provides for the regulation of buildings used for human habitation. The law makes its provisions inapplicable to any building regulated by the Manufactured Housing Act of 1980, the Mobilehome Parks Act, and the California Factory-Built Housing Law unless those acts specifically require application. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
Under existing law, the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act is administered by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. Existing law requires the Director of Alcoholic Beverage Control, upon request from the Legislature, to prepare and submit a report to the Legislature on the department's activities and to post the report on its internet website.

That law defines various terms for these purposes. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those definition provisions.

Existing law requires the Controller, upon order of the Director of Finance, to transfer funds received in the LDF allocated to the state for opioid remediation from the 2023 opioid settlements with manufacturers Teva and Allergan, and pharmacies CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart to the OSF. The bill would instead authorize the Controller, upon order of the Director of Finance, to transfer those above-described funds to the OSF.
Existing law, the Planning and Zoning Law, requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element.
