Senate Floor Amendments of 7/6/11 delete the prior version of the bill relating to the statewide special election, and now implement language providing necessary statutory changes in the area of Resources, in order to enact the 2011 Budget Act. ANALYSIS : This is the cleanup companion to the Resources Trailer Bill for the Budget Act of 2011. It contains necessary changes to implement the Budget Act of 2011. Key statutory changes are as follows: 1. Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Budget Reduction Implementation . Provides changes to implement various budget reductions and deletes obsolete statutes mostly related to slaughterhouse licensing. Provides CONTINUED AB 107 Page 2 for fees to pay for regulatory programs and shifts certain revenues to CDFA for specific regulatory programs rather than to the General Fund. Includes technical cleanup language. 2. Cleanup Language Related to Park Liability . Amends liability assurances for parks that are designated as closed as listed by the Department of Parks and Recreation. For parks that are partially closed, or subject to service reductions, liability is mostly unchanged and consistent with other state liability assurances except in cases of gross negligence. 3. Technical Budget Accounting Change to the Department of Conservation (DOC) . Authorizes the DOC to shift its clearing account to an appropriate special fund.
