	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1578, Committee on Governmental Organization. Treasurer.
   Existing law requires the Treasurer to, among other things,
receive and keep in the vaults of the Treasurer or deposit in banks
or credit unions all moneys belonging to the state, keep an account
of all moneys received and disbursed, and report daily to the
Controller the amounts disbursed during the preceding day and the
funds out of which the disbursements were paid. Existing law
authorizes the Treasurer to appoint certain officers and employees,
as specified. Existing law grants certain employees of the Treasurer'
s office when performing assigned duties, as specified, with the
powers and authority conferred by law upon peace officers.
   This bill would modify these provisions by removing the Treasurer'
s authority to appoint certain officers and eliminating the powers
and authority granted to certain employees of the Treasurer's office.
This bill would also require the Treasurer's office to be kept open
for business from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. unless otherwise provided by
law.
