What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the drafting section of the Legislative Reference Bureau

(LRB) may draft proposed legislation for legislators, state government agencies, the

chief clerks of the assembly and senate, and party caucuses of the assembly and

senate. Under current law, the LRB may not disclose records of drafting requests

that did not result in introduced legislation. Under this bill, generally, with regards

to drafts that have not been introduced, if a person who made a request for proposed

legislation disclosed a draft of the proposed legislation to another person, other than

a person who may request drafting services under current law, the draft, but not the

file for the drafting request, is subject to an open records request and the person who

made the drafting request is the legal custodian of the draft.
