	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1253, Davis. Counties: recommended budget.
   Existing law requires the board of supervisors of a county to
consider and approve a recommended budget, including any necessary
revisions to the recommended budget, on or before June 30 of each
year. Existing law requires the board of supervisors to conduct a
public hearing on the recommended budget, and to adopt a budget on or
before October 2 of each year.
   This bill would authorize the board to make revisions to the
recommended budget until the board adopts a budget. The bill would
require any revision to the recommended budget after the start of the
public hearing to be made only if the revision is proposed in
writing, and submitted to the clerk of the board prior to the close
of the public hearing, or to be adopted by a vote of 4/5 of the
board.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 29064 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   29064.  (a) On or before June 30 of each year the board, by formal
action, shall approve the recommended budget, including the
revisions it deems necessary for the purpose of having authority to

   (b) (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), the board may make
revisions to the recommended budget until the budget is adopted
pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 29080).
   (2) A revision to the recommended budget after the start of the
public hearing held pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section
29080) shall be made only if the revision is proposed in writing and
filed with the clerk of the board prior to the close of the public
hearing, or approved by a four-fifths vote of the board after the
close of the hearing.
