	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 304, Lara. 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 $3,277,141.90 from various funds for
the payment of claims accepted by the board, as specified. The bill
would require the Controller, upon the request of the board and in a
form prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees
from the specified Budget Act items of appropriation identified in
the bill to Item 7870-001-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of
2015. This bill would require the board to provide a report of the
amounts recovered pursuant to this authority to the Department of
Finance within 90 days of the enactment of this bill.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.
