2005 Legislative Digest
Foreword
The Department of Consumer Affairs' (DCA) 2005 Legislative Digest is a summary of significant consumer protection legislation relative to DCA Boards, Bureaus, Commissions, and Programs introduced during the first year of the 2005-2006 legislative session.
We have organized the Digest by subject category, bill number, and chapter number. Some bills may be referenced in more than one category.
Unless otherwise indicated, enacted bills become effective on January 1, 2006.
The Contents page lists each subject heading. The subject headings refer you to the summaries for each subject.
The Bill Summaries are organized numerically by bill number under each category. This section provides a brief summery of each bill, the bill's author, and its disposition.
There is also a Bill Number Index and a Chaptered Bill Index, for easy reference.
All department and agency references are for California entities, unless noted otherwise.
While we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information in this Digest, please refer to the California codes for exact statutory citations.
