   An act relating to the payment of claims against the state, making

take effect immediately.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1615, Gatto. Claims against the state: payment.
   Existing law authorizes a procedure for the state to pay claims
against the state.
   Existing law, the Chiropractic Act, enacted by initiative,
provides for the licensing and regulation of chiropractors by the
State Board of Chiropractic Examiners.
   This bill would appropriate funds from the State Board of
Chiropractic Examiner's Fund in a prescribed amount to settle claims
against the state arising from a specified legal action. The bill
would also appropriate funds from the General Fund in a prescribed
amount to settle claims against the state arising from a separate
specified legal action. The bill would provide that any appropriated
funds in excess of the amount required to pay those claims revert to
the fund from which the proceeds were taken.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.

  SECTION 1.  (a) The sum of two million six hundred ninety-eight
