Official Summary Text

SB 1281, as introduced, Valladares.
Public resources: certified community conservation corps.
Existing law provides for certified community conservation corps, defined as a community conservation corps that was in existence on September 30, 1999, or that is formed subsequent to that date, and that is designated by a city or a city and county to perform litter abatement, recycling, and related activities, if the city or the city and county has a population, as determined by the most recent census, of more than 250,000 persons.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
