Finally we can post an up-to-date version of the text of AB1604 -- however, we have to post it as a link. If we copy and paste the text, we lose the all-important strikethrough and italics that show deletions and insertions.
Anyone who wants to check up on the status at any time can go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov and use the bill search function (choose Assembly and enter 1604).
Here's the text as of 1/22:
