	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 738,  Peace.  Budget Act of 2000:  Contingencies or
emergencies.
   The Budget Act of 2000 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 2000
also appropriated $2,500,000 for loans to state agencies for
contingencies or emergencies.
   This bill would appropriate $528,772,000, 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.
