	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1701, Gonzalez. 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 $448,458.22 from various funds to the
Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board for the payment of claims allowed by the
board. The bill would authorize the Controller, upon request of the
board, to transfer specified surcharges and fees on claims filed
against the state to a specified item of the Budget Act of 2016. The
bill would also require the board to provide a report of the amounts
recovered pursuant to these provisions to the Department of Finance.
    This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.
