According to the Office of Legislative Counsel, which produces the legislative publications, the Table of Sections Affected (often referred to as “TOSA”) is an index of each section of California’s Constitution, as well as the 29 California Codes, and even uncodified laws and budget line items, that are affected by introduced bills.
This legislative publication provides links for the measure and the chapter number. The Table of Sections Affected is updated regularly and includes all legislative actions as of the date indicated on the title page of this publication. The TOSA is cumulative.
Online, the Office of Legislative Counsel provides a Table of Sections Affected, Prior Sessions, which are the final editions of the Table of Sections Affected beginning with the 2017-18 Legislative Session.
The Table of Sections Affected looks like the following:
