LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1585, as amended, Ward. Air pollution: Clean Cars 4 All Program. Name changes: copies of order granting petition.
Existing law establishes the procedure for a person to change their name. When a proceeding for a change of name is commenced by the filing of a petition, existing law requires the court to issue an order reciting the filing of the petition, the name of the person by whom it is filed, and the name proposed. Existing law requires that the fee for certifying a copy of any paper, record, or proceeding on file in the office of the clerk of any court is $40. Existing law requires that the fee for preparing a copy of any paper, record, or proceeding on file is $.50 per page.
This bill would require that up to 3 copies of the order granting the petition for change of name be provided at no charge to the petitioner at the time the petition is granted.

Existing law establishes the Clean Cars 4 All Program, which is administered by the State Air Resources Board, to focus on achieving reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, improvements in air quality, and benefits to low-income state residents through the replacement of high-polluter motor vehicles with cleaner and more efficient motor vehicles or a mobility option. Existing law requires the state board to set goals for the replacement of trucks and passenger vehicles that are high polluters.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
