This Chapter shall become effective at 12:01 A.M. on October 1, 1983, but shall be deemed effective immediately for purposes of planning and organization. SOURCE: GC § 6950.8. MPC § 1-109 modified. COMMENT: The Official Comments state: “The effective date of this Code should be set at least six months after enactment to allow adequate time for development of regulations and the other administrative matters necessitated by its enactment.” Testimony by the Director of Administration and others also note that the original effective date of this Bill, Oct. 1, 1982, was impractical and, coupled with other dates in this Chapter, would conflict with existing budget cycle requirements. If the government is given just over one year to prepare, these objections will be nullified.
