"Out, damned spot!"

In this post from last June, I addressed the unfortunate legislative legerdemain known as the spot bill.  "Yet here’s a spot."  Assembly Member Jared Huffman has continued the practice with his introduction of a AB 361.  Because AB 361 in its current form makes only insignificant changes, it is very likely a placeholder for some future, more substantive change to the Corporate Securities Law of 1968.
