	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1338, Peace.  Budget Act of 2001:  contingencies or
emergencies.
   The Budget Act of 2001 appropriated $5,000,000 from the General
Fund, unallocated special funds, and unallocated nongovernmental cost
funds for expenditure for contingencies or emergencies upon written
authorization from the Director of Finance.  The Budget Act of 2001
also appropriated $2,500,000 for loans to state agencies for
contingencies or emergencies.
   This bill would appropriate $327,227,000 as scheduled, in
augmentation of these Budget Act appropriations.  This bill would
authorize the Director of Finance to withhold authorization for the
expenditure of funds appropriated in the bill until preliminary
estimates of potential deficiencies are verified.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a
statute providing an appropriation for the usual current expenses of
the state.
   Appropriation:  yes.
