	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1617, Gatto. State claims.
   Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to ensure that all claims that have been
approved by the board, and for which there exists no legally
available appropriation, are submitted for legislative approval at
least twice each calendar year.
   This bill would appropriate $745,042.81 from various funds to the
Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to pay claims accepted by the board. The bill
would require the Controller, upon the request of the board, in a
form prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees
from specified Budget Act items of appropriation identified in the
bill to Item 7870-001-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2014.

   This bill would also appropriate $1,450,200 to the board to pay
specified claims accepted by the board.
    This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.
