Update from California Law Revision Commission
Here's some updated information from the CLRC on two of the bills they proposed, both of which are in the legislature at present. One is AB 1836, dealing with alternative dispute resolution, and the other is AB 2376, that would implement the CLRC's recommendations on architectural review and rulemaking.

The CLRC, by the way, is in the Governator's sights. He wants to abolish it as a money-saving measure.
