California Government Code Statutory History
California Government Code Statutory History
Government Code: In 1943, the Government Code was established. With a few exceptions, most of the 1943 Government Code statutes were derived from California’s former Political Code, enacted in 1872 when California first codified its early laws and acts. When adopted in 1872, the former Political Code pertained to state and municipal governments, its political subdivisions, elections and appointment of public officers, powers and duties of public officers, public police regulations, residents of the state, public institutions such as the University of California, state normal school and public schools, and the disposition and management of public property.
