If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding public nuisance actions by stipulating that the Attorney General (AG) can only initiate such actions in superior court with the consent of the county board of supervisors (BOS). This change would replace the existing provision that allows the AG, along with county and city attorneys, to bring actions independently.

Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to the language surrounding the definition of obscene items, specifically clarifying that the term "obscene" is defined in section 13-3501. The bill would also remove the phrase "which is obscene" from the current statute, streamlining the language. Overall, these updates aim to enhance local governance by requiring county-level consent for public nuisance actions initiated by the AG.
