The estimate required by Section 17576 shall be the amount estimated to be required during the first fiscal year of a bill’s operation in order to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state by the bill.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
