	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 282, as introduced, Eggman. Home furnishings.
   Existing law, the Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation Act,
provides for the licensure and regulation of, among others,
upholstered-furniture manufacturers by the Bureau of Electronic and
Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation. Existing
law defines "upholstered furniture" for purpose of the act.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that definition.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
