§ 56883 Correcting Clerical Errors

Government Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•Small mistakes in official papers can be fixed before the process is done.
•Only certain people can ask for these fixes: the boss, a commission member, or the affected group.
•Fixing these mistakes won’t let someone ask for a big review of the decision later.

Example

A city commission writes a rule about building a new park, but there’s a typo in the address.

The boss or a commission member can ask to fix the typo before the rule is final. This fix won’t let someone challenge the whole park decision later.

A correction made pursuant to this section shall not be cause for filing a request pursuant to Section 56895. (Added by Stats. 2000, Ch. 761, Sec. 211. Effective January 1, 2001.)
