	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 23, Sher.   Budget Act of 2003.
   The Budget Act of 2003 (Ch. 157, Stats. 2003), made appropriations
for the support of state government during the 2003-04 fiscal year.

   This bill would amend the Budget Act of 2003 by reappropriating to
the Office of Emergency Services the balance of certain
appropriations, previously made to the former Office of Criminal
Justice Planning, necessary for the Office of Emergency Services to
take over certain functions of the former Office of Criminal Justice
Planning.  That latter office was abolished by Chapter 229 of the
Statutes of 2003, with its powers, authority, duties, and obligations
transferred to and assumed by an agency or agencies designated by
the Director of Finance.  This bill also would reappropriate a
portion of the funds previously appropriated to the former Office of
Criminal Justice Planning to the Office of Emergency Services to
enable that office to perform specified accounting workload
associated with grant activities therefor making an appropriation.
   This bill would provide that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation:  yes.
