BILL NUMBER: ABX4 1
VETOED DATE: 07/28/2009
Arnold Schwarzenegger July 28, 2009
Governor
State of California
Governor’s Office
I object to the following appropriations contained in
Assembly Bill 1, Fourth Extraordinary Session.
Item 3340-101-0001-For local assistance, California
Conservation Corps. I delete this item.
In order to create a reasonable reserve, I am making
additional reductions so we have resources to
address emergencies or additional revenue shortfalls.
In addition, the Legislature did not make changes to
improve the cost-effectiveness of the Beverage
Container Recycling Program and address the
shortfall in the Fund in a manner that supports
recycling objectives. I look forward to working with the
Legislature to enact comprehensive reform to the
Beverage Container Recycling Program.
Item 3360-001-3117-For support of Energy
Resources Conservation and Development
Commission. I delete Provision 2.
I am deleting Provision 2, which would prohibit the
Energy Commission from making any expenditure
from this appropriation for hydrogen refueling stations.
The goal of the Alternative and Renewable Fuel and
Vehicle Technology program is to develop and deploy
innovative technologies that transform California’s fuel
and vehicle types to help attain the state’s climate
change policies. This provision would limit the
program’s technology options, and would discourage
continued development of hydrogen fuels and related
vehicles and technology.
Item 3790-001-0001-For support of Department of
Parks and Recreation. I reduce this item from
$133,988,000 to $127,788,000 by reducing:
(1) For support of the Department of Parks and
Recreation from $428,717,000 to $422,517,000.
In order to create a reasonable reserve, I am making
additional reductions so we have resources to
address emergencies or additional revenue shortfalls.
I know this reduction will likely lead to closure of
additional parks but we are facing unprecedented
budget challenges and we have limited choices. I am
directing the Department to do everything it can to
work with local governments, the federal government,
community based organizations, and other interested
parties who can partner with the state to help mitigate
any state park closures.
Item 4170-001-0001-For support of California
Department of Aging. I reduce this item from
$4,227,000 to $4,121,000 by
reducing:
(4) 40-Special Projects from $8,680,000 to
$8,574,000.
I am reducing this item by $106,000 and 0.5
personnel years for the following programs:
· $79,000 for the Linkages Program, and
· $27,000 for Community Based Services Programs.
This action conforms to my action in Control Section
17.50.
Item 4260-101-0890-For local assistance,
Department of Health Care Services. I am reducing
this item from $26,592,825,000 to $26,532,256,000 to
conform to the action I have taken in Control Section
18.00.
Item 4265-111-0231-For local assistance,
Department of Public Health. I reduce this item from
$54,154,000 to $47,354,000.
I am deleting the $6,800,000 one-time augmentation
of Proposition 99 funds for the Tobacco Control
Program for anti-tobacco media campaigns and
competitive grants to local entities. While I proposed
this augmentation, tobacco tax revenues have since
declined to levels insufficient to support these efforts.
Item 5180-151-0001-For local assistance,
Department of Social Services. I reduce this item
from $763,375,000 to $702,494,000 by reducing:
(1) 25.30-Children and Adult Services and Licensing
from $2,159,705,000 to $2,098,824,000.
I am reducing this item by $60,881,000 to increase the
reserve for economic uncertainties and to reduce the
state's structural deficit, consistent with my May
Revision proposal to achieve an unallocated
reduction in the Child Welfare Services Program. I am
reducing a total of $79,956,000 for this purpose:
$60,881,000 from this Item and $19,075,000 from
subdivision (f) of Control Section 18.50.
Item 5225-001-0001-For support of the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation. I revise this item by
deleting Provisions 7 and 9.
I am deleting Provision 7, which would require the
California Department of Corrections and
Rehabilitation (CDCR) to report 2008-09 and 2009-10
overtime expenditures for custody staff. This
reporting requirement would result in additional
workload without regard to the availability of
resources. Consequently, I am vetoing this language.
Nevertheless, in recognition of the Legislature’s desire
to obtain this information, I am instructing the CDCR to
comply with the legislative request for this report to the
extent that compliance can be achieved using existing
resources and without impairing the CDCR’s ability to
perform its essential functions.
I am deleting Provision 9, which would restrict certain
expenditures within the CDCR’s budget for specified
purposes, require the CDCR to report on the
expenditure of these funds, allow for the redirection of
funds as specified, and provide that any funds not
spent revert to the General Fund. While my
Administration is committed to ensuring that funds are
spent for the purposes for which they are
appropriated, this language is too restrictive for CDCR
in 2009-10 as they implement major population
reforms and other reductions, including a significant
unallocated reduction.
Item 5225-002-0001-For support of the Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Irevise this item by
deleting Provision 6.
I am deleting Provision 6, which would restrict certain
expenditures within the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation's (CDCR) budget for
specified purposes, require the CDCR to report on the
expenditure of these funds, allow for the redirection of
funds as specified, and provide that any funds not
spent revert to the General Fund. While my
Administration is committed to ensuring that funds are
spent for the purposes for which they are
appropriated, this language is too restrictive for CDCR in
2009-10 as they implement major population
reforms and other reductions, including significant
unallocated reductions.
Item 5225-301-0660-For capital outlay, Department
of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Irevise this item by
deleting Provision 5.
I am deleting Provision 5, which prohibits the
Department from making any further encumbrances
or expenditures of funding appropriated for the San
Quentin State Prison:Condemned Inmate Complex
until three specified conditions are met. This project is
needed to remedy significant operational deficiencies
associated with the existing condemned inmate
housing and address issues cited in the Plata and
Coleman lawsuits regarding sufficient health care
access and accessibility for aging and disabled
inmates. This project is ready to begin construction.
Having to delay the construction start to comply with
these conditions will cause unnecessary increased
costs. In addition, this appropriation provides no
increased expenditure authority for those costs. This
increases the likelihood that the Public Works Board
would be required to augment earlier appropriations
as provided for by law. I therefore veto this provision
so as to control the expenditures of the state.
Item 6110-001-0001-For support of the Department
of Education. I reduce this item from $38,210,000 to
$37,505,000 by reducing:
(2) 20-Instructional Support from $158,747,000 to
$158,042,000,
and by deleting Provision 7.
I am reducing this item by $705,000 to capture the
maximum amount of savings from the instructional
materials flexibility provided in the Education trailer bill
to school districts, which suspends the adoption of
instructional materials by the State Board of Education
(Board) and the subsequent purchasing requirements
for school districts until 2013-14. As a result, it is
unnecessary for the Curriculum Development and
Supplemental Materials Commission to continue to
advise the Board on content frameworks and
instructional materials adoptions for the next five
years or until an agreed-upon process is
reestablished. This reduction removes funding for
unnecessary Commission per diem and travel as well
as funding for Department staff.
Item 6110-008-0001-For support of Department of
Education, as allocated by the Department of
Education to the State Special Schools for student
transportation allowances. I delete this item.
This item would provide $3,894,000 Proposition 98
General Fund for student transportation at the State
Special Schools. However, the Legislature
subsequently provided special education federal
funds (Provision 11 of Item 6110-161-0890) for the
same purpose with the understanding that this
Proposition 98 appropriation is no longer necessary.
Therefore, on a technical basis, I delete this item to
remove duplicative funding for student transportation
at the State Special Schools.
I am also deleting Provisions 1 and 2 to conform to this
action.
Item 6600-001-0001-For support of Hastings
College of the Law. I am reducing this item from
$9,270,000 to $8,270,000.
I am reducing this item by an additional $1,000,000 to
achieve General Fund savings. Combined with the
10-percent reduction approved by the Legislature, this
unallocated reduction will reduce Hastings’ state
support to be more in line with the General Fund
reductions made to the University of California and
the California State University since the
2008-09 Budget was first enacted. Because Hastings
has increased its student fees by almost 38percent
since 2007-08, including a 13-percent increase for
2009-10, funding for the instructional program still
increases by 5 percent in 2009-10 which should be
sufficient in this fiscal climate.
Item 7980-001-0001-For support of California
Student Aid Commission. I reduce this item from
$12,623,000 to $6,323,000 by reducing:
(1) 15-Financial Aid Grants Program from
$13,049,000 to $6,749,000
I am vetoing $6,300,000 from the California Student
Aid Commission, of which $4,300,000 is set aside to
be restored contingent upon enactment of legislation
that authorizes the decentralization of the Cal Grant
Program and other financial aid programs as
warranted. The $2,000,000 difference represents
savings that would be achieved though efficiencies
resulting from the decentralization and other over-
budgeting that currently exists.
Under my January proposal, a proposal that was
broadly supported by the higher education segments,
the Student Aid Commission’s intermediary role in
approving awards will be largely eliminated. The
proposal would establish colleges and universities as
the single point of contact for most students’ financial
aid needs. This change would significantly reduce
the Student Aid Commission’s General Fund
operating costs on an ongoing basis and save money
at the postsecondary segments by reducing double-
handling of awards between the colleges and the
Commission. This action illustrates my commitment to
put the students first and to improve the efficiency of
state government. I look forward to working with the
Legislature on legislation that will better serve our
students and the higher education segments.
Item 9100-101-0001-For local assistance, Tax
Relief. I reduce this item from $472,370,000 to
$444,579,000 by reducing:
(5) 60-Subventions for Open Space from
$27,792,000 to $1,000.
I am reducing this item by $27,791,000 to suspend
funding for this program, which backfills a portion of
property taxes foregone when local governments
voluntarily enter into contracts with property owners
who agree to use their land for agricultural or open
space purposes in exchange for a lower property tax
assessment. This is necessary to provide a prudent
reserve in the General Fund.
Item 9620-001-0001-For payment of interest on
General Fund loans, upon order of the Director of
Finance, for any General Fund loan. I delete
Provision 4.
I have reviewed the Legislature's action on my
proposal for deficiency funding in the event that the
Controller must implement a payment delay plan to
manage emergency cash needs. My proposal would
have appropriated any amount necessary to pay the
interest expenses, late payment penalties, and other
costs incurred by the Controller in implementing such
a plan, and it would have accelerated the review and
approval process that currently exists for funding such
deficiencies.
Provision 4 serves as an appropriation for specific
costs incurred by the Controller. The use of this
appropriation is contingent uponthe occurrence of
various actions and events. The legislative action on
this appropriation would, in effect, exempt the
Controller from obtaining approval from Finance
before incurring a deficiency. It might also have the
unintended effect of relieving the Controller of the
personal responsibility requirements contained in
Control Section 32.00. In light of this, I have
determined that the provisions of Item 9840-001-0001
are adequate for the review and approval of Controller
costs related to a payment delay plan and I hereby
veto Provision 4.
Item 9800-001-0001-For Augmentation for
Employee Compensation. I reduce this item from
$40,742,000 to $15,742,000.
I am reducing funding by $25,000,000 for employee
compensation and am instructing my administration to
absorb this reduction to build a prudent reserve. To
effect this reduction, I am directing the Director of
Finance to reduce the amount that would have been
allocated to each department for increases in
employee compensation costs, including health care.
This reduced amount available for allocation to
departments will not affect pay or benefits for
employees in any way. Employees will receive full
pay, and the funding for pay and benefits not
available from Item 9800 will be funded by a
redirection within existing resources by individual
departments. All previously negotiated employee
compensation increases, and all employee
compensation increases for medical, mental, and
dental health positions arising from the Coleman,
Plata, and Perez court cases will be unaffected by my
action to reduce this appropriation.
Item 9800-001-0494-For Augmentation for
Employee Compensation. I reduce this item from
$51,589,000 to $31,589,000.
I am reducing funding by $20,000,000 for employee
compensation and am instructing my administration to
absorb this reduction to build a prudent reserve. To
effect this reduction, I am directing the Director of
Finance to reduce the amount that would have been
allocated to each department for increases in
employee compensation costs, including health care.
This reduced amount available for allocation to
departments will not affect pay or benefits for
employees in any way. Employees will receive full
pay, and the funding for pay and benefits not
available from Item 9800 will be funded by a
redirection within existing resources by individual
departments. All previously negotiated employee
compensation increases, and all employee
compensation increases for medical, mental, and
dental health positions arising from the Coleman,
Plata, and Perez court cases will be unaffected by my
action to reduce this appropriation.
Item 9800-001-0988-For Augmentation for
Employee Compensation. I reduce this item from
$25,410,000 to $15,410,000.
I am reducing funding by $10,000,000 for employee
compensation and am instructing my administration to
absorb this reduction to build a prudent reserve. To
effect this reduction, I am directing the Director of
Finance to reduce the amount that would have been
allocated to each department for increases in
employee compensation costs, including health care.
This reduced amount available for allocation to
departments will not affect pay or benefits for
employees in any way. Employees will receive full
pay, and the funding for pay and benefits not
available from Item 9800 will be funded by a
redirection within existing resources by individual
departments. All previously negotiated employee
compensation increases, and all employee
compensation increases for medical, mental, and
dental health positions arising from the Coleman,
Plata, and Perez court cases will be unaffected by my
action to reduce this appropriation.
Item 9840-001-0001-Augmentation for
Contingencies or Emergencies. I reduce this item from
$44,100,000 to $20,100,000.
In order to create a reasonable reserve, I am making
additional reductions so we have resources to
address additional revenue shortfalls. Therefore, I am
reducing this item by $24,000,000 to fund higher
competing priorities. I have determined that this
reduced level of funding, which is consistent with the
amount of unanticipated expenses funded by this
Item in the previous fiscal year, is adequate for the
purposes of this Item.
SEC. 17.50-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in this section by $6,160,000 as
opposed to approving the item as presented without
reduction. Thus, I am increasing the General Fund
reduction from $9,483,000 to $15,643,000.
The effect of my action reflects a reduction of
$6,160,000 to Special Projects (Program 40) to
increase the reserve for economic uncertainties and
to reduce the state's structural deficit. This reduction
is consistent with my May Revision proposal to
eliminate the Linkages Program and Community
Based Services Programs. Specifically, I am reducing
$3,879,000 from the Linkages Program and
$2,281,000 from Community Based Services
Programs. Funding of these non-mandated programs
cannot be continued due to the state's severe budget
constraints.
"Sec. 17.50. The amount appropriated in Item 4170-
101-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$9,483,000 $15,643,000."
SEC. 18.00-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (a) of the section by
$60,569,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. I am also reducing the
item of General Fund appropriation in subdivision (e)
of this section by $25,000,000 as opposed to
approving the item as presented without reduction.
Thus, I am revising subdivision (e) of this Section by
increasing the General Fund reduction from
$4,303,000 to $29,303,000, and County
Administration by $60,569,000.
The effect of my action reflects a reduction of
$25,000,000 (from $39,909,000 to $14,909,000) to
Primary and Rural Health (Program 20.35) to increase
the reserve and to reduce the state’s structural deficit.
This reduction is consistent with my May Revision
proposal to eliminate General Fund grants for
Community Clinic Programs. Many, if not all of these
clinics, will continue to receive funding through
remaining state programs, federal programs, local
programs, and private funds. Increased federal
stimulus funds are available to many of these clinics
and will help to minimize the overall impact of this
reduction.
I am also reducing County Administration by
$60,569,000 (from $2,893,363,000 to
$2,832,794,000) to increase the reserve and to
reduce the state’s structural deficit.
"SEC. 18.00. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
4260-101-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$2,789,402,000 $2,849,971,000.
(b) Schedule (7) of Item 4260-101-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby deleted.
(c) Provision 13 is added to Item 4260-101-0001 of
Section 2.00, to read:
13. It is the intent of the Legislature to actively pursue
the receipt of federal funds within the Medicaid (Medi-
Cal) Program which are past due from the federal
government, including, but not limited to: (a) disability
insurance benefits that resulted in state expenditures
instead of federal Medicare expenditures, (b) the
retroactive payment of Part B premiums due to
systemic errors by the federal Social Security
Administration, (c) needed adjustments to formulas
that penalize California, such as the Medicare Part D
"clawback," and (d) receipt of federal funds due to
California under various existing Medi-Cal waiver
programs.
(d) Schedule (4) of Item 4260-101-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby revised to be −$284,246,000.
(e) The amount appropriated in Item 4260-111-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $4,303,000
$29,303,000.
(f) Provision 3 is added to Item 4260-111-0001 of
Section 2.00, to read:
3. The State Department of Health Care Services
shall convene a diverse workgroup as applicable that,
at a minimum, represents families enrolled in the
California Children’s Services (CCS) Program,
counties, specialty care providers, children’s
hospitals, and medical suppliers to discuss the
administrative structure of the CCS Program, including
eligibility determination processes, the use and
content of needs assessment tools in case
management, and the processes used for treatment
authorizations. The purpose of this workgroup will be
to identify methods for streamlining, administrative
cost-efficiencies, and better utilization of both state
and county staff, as applicable, in meeting the needs
of children and families accessing the CCS Program.
The department may provide the policy and fiscal
committees of each house of the Legislature with
periodic updates of outcomes as appropriate.
(g) Schedule (3) of Item 4260-111-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby revised to be −$58,188,000.
(h) The amount appropriated in Item 4260-113-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $47,265,000."
SEC. 18.10-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (c) of this section by
$80,473,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. Thus, I am increasing
the General Fund reduction from $62,967,000 to
$143,440,000.
The effect of my action reflects the deletion of various
legislative restorations for public health local
assistance programs to increase the reserve and to
reduce the state's structural deficit, consistent with my
May Revision proposals. When making these difficult
reductions to important program services, I have
sought to protect the continued delivery of drug
therapies to low-income individuals living with HIV and
thus retained funding for the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program.
Specifically, I am eliminating:
· $52,133,000 General Fund for various programs
administered by the Office of AIDS: Education and
Prevention, Therapeutic Monitoring, Counseling
and Testing, Early Intervention, Home and
Community Based Care, and Housing,
· $16,337,000 General Fund for the Domestic
Violence Program,
· $9,000,000 General Fund for the Adolescent
Family Life Program, and
· $3,003,000 General Fund for the Black Infant
Health Program.
I am deleting subdivision (d) of this section to conform
to this action.
"SEC. 18.10. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
4265-001-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced
by $6,981,000.
(b) Schedule (6) of Item 4265-001-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby revised to be -$38,739,000.
(c) The amount appropriated in Item 4265-111-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$62,967,000$143,440,000.
(d) Provision 2 is added to Item 4265-111-0001 of
Section 2.00, to read:
2. It is the intent of the Legislature that the funds
appropriated in this item be used to maintain core
active surveillance activities to meet federal reporting
requirements and to continue HIV/AIDS prevention
and education efforts for which federal funds are not
available.
(e) Provision 3 is added to Item 4265-111-0001 of
Section 2.00, to read:
3. The appropriation in this item for the Alzheimer's
Research Centers shall be used for direct services,
including, but not limited to, diagnostic screening,
case management, disease management, support for
caregivers, and related services necessary for
positive client outcomes."
SEC. 18.20-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (a) of this section by
$47,050,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. I am also reducing the
item of General Fund appropriation in subdivision (c)
of this section by $2,950,000 as opposed to
approving the item as presented without reduction.
Thus, I am increasing the General Fund reduction in
Item 4280-101-0001 from $125,581,000 to
$172,631,000, and in Item 4280-102-0001 from
$3,046,000 to $5,996,000.
The effect of my action reflects a reduction of
$50,000,000 (from $275,251,000 to $225,251,000 in
total General Fund program funding) to increase the
reserve and to reduce the state’s structural deficit.
While this is a very difficult reduction, the Healthy
Families program is not an entitlement and is a
program that can be reduced during this difficult
economic period. I hereby direct the Health and
Human Services Agency to continue to work with the
California Children and Families Commission, with
local commissions, foundations, and other interested
parties to provide additional resources to supplement
General Fund appropriations and provide health care
coverage for as many children as possible.
"Section 18.20. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
4280-101-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$125,581,000 $172,631,000.
(b) Provision 2 is added to 4280-101-0001 of section
2.00, to read:
2. It is the intent of the Legislature, during these
unprecedented fiscal times, to maintain the integrity of
the Healthy Families Program to continue to provide
health, dental, and vision coverage to low-income
children. However, assistance from philanthropic
organizations and other sources will be necessary in
order for California to obtain its full allotment of federal
funds to support this program. In the event funds are
not available, it is the intent of the Legislature for the
Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board to utilize its
existing authority to establish a waiting list of children
for enrollment in the program.
(c) The amount appropriated in Item 4280-102-0001
of Section 2.0 is hereby reduced by $3,046,000
$5,996,000."
SEC. 18.30-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (a) of this section by
$50,000,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. Thus, I am increasing
the reduction in subdivision (a) from $214,828,000 to
$264,828,000.
I am reducing Regional Center Purchase of Services
by $50,000,000 for services to children up to age five,
as these services are due to program growth and thus
eligible for funding from the California Children and
Families Commission. I am directing the Secretary for
the Health and Human Services Agency, the
Department of Developmental Services, and the
Department of Finance to immediately request funds
from the Commission for this purpose. I do not intend
to pursue separate legislation changing eligibility or
services for these children for purposes of achieving
these savings. I urge the Commission to provide
supplemental funding for the growth in these services.
"SEC. 18.30. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
4300-101-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$214,828,000 $264,828,000.
(b) Schedule (4) of Item 4300-101-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby revised to be -$1,663,363,000."
SEC. 18.40-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (e) of this section by
$4,082,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. Thus, I am increasing
the General Fund reduction from $3,547,000 to
$7,629,000. I am vetoing $4,082,000 to increase the
reserve and to reduce the state's structural deficit,
consistent with my May Revision proposal to eliminate
this program.
The effect of my action reflects a partial veto of
the legislative restoration for the Caregiver Resource
Centers.
"SEC. 18.40. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
4440-001-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$8,447,000.
(b) The amount appropriated in Item 4440-103-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $113,380,000.
(c) The amount appropriated in Item 4440-104-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $52,000,000.
(d) (1) Provision 1 of Item 4440-104-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby deleted.
(2) Provision 3 is added to Item 4440-104-0001 of
Section 2.00, to read:
3. These funds are for costs incurred in the 2006-07,
2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10 fiscal years. The
first priority of funds appropriated in this item shall be
used to offset the mandate reimbursement claims for
the 2006-07 fiscal year. Remaining funds may be
used to offset the mandate reimbursement claims for
the 2007-08, 2008-09, and 2009-10 fiscal years.
(e) The amount appropriated in Item 4440-111-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $3,547,000
$7,629,000."
SEC. 18.50-I am reducing the item of General Fund
appropriation in subdivision (d) of this section by
$37,555,000 as opposed to approving the item as
presented without reduction. Additionally, I reduce the
item of General Fund appropriation in subdivision (f)
of this section by $19,075,000 as opposed to
approving the item as presented without reduction.
Thus, I am increasing the General Fund reduction
from $1,167,507,000 to $1,224,137,000.
The effect of my action reflects a reduction of
$37,555,000 to In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS,
Program 25.15) to reflect the following reductions:
· $28,900,000 due to the determination that it is
necessary to waive exemptions included in
paragraph (2) of subdivision (e) of Section 29 of X4
AB 4 to maintain federal financial participation.
Due to this determination, more IHSS recipients will
be impacted by the reduction in services authorized
in X4 AB 4.
· $8,655,000 from reducing funding for IHSS Public
Authority administration. This leaves $10,000,000
General Fund available for the Public Authorities to
provide assistance to recipients in finding IHSS
providers, investigate qualifications of potential
IHSS providers, and offer training to IHSS
providers.
These reductions total $37,555,000, which I am
reducing from subdivision (d) of this Control Section. I
am making these reductions so we have a prudent
reserve and resources to address emergencies or
additional revenue shortfalls.
My action also reflects a reduction of $19,075,000 to
Title IV-E Waiver (Program 26) to increase the reserve
for economic uncertainties and to reduce the state's
structural deficit, consistent with my May Revision
proposal to achieve an unallocated reduction in the
Child Welfare Services Program. I am reducing a total
of $79,956,000 for this purpose: $19,075,000 from
subdivision (f) of this Control Section and
$60,881,000 from Item5180-151-0001.
"Sec. 18.50. (a) The amount appropriated in Item
5180-001-0001 of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by
$7,337,000.
(b) Provision 9 of Item 5180-001-0001 of Section 2.00
is hereby deleted.
(c) The amount appropriated in Item 5180-101-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $500,501,000.
(d) The amount appropriated in Item 5180-111-0001
of Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $643,248,000
$680,803,000.
(e) Schedule (5) of Item 5180-111-0001 of Section
2.00 is hereby deleted.
(f) The amount appropriated in Item 5180-153-0001 of
Section 2.00 is hereby reduced by $16,421,000
$35,496,000."
With the above deletions, revisions, and reductions, I
hereby approve Assembly Bill 1, Fourth Extraordinary
Session.
