As it stands, California law requires that ordinances be published in

its adoption.
AB 715, which is written and sponsored by the City Clerks Association of California (CCAC) unanimously passed the senate floor on 14 May.
In a form letter sent to news clerks the CCAC said that AB 715 "improves efficiency in local government and increases citizen participation".
