           SUBJECT  :    Budget Act of 2011:  Resources 

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill provides necessary statutory changes 
          in the area of Resources in order to enact the 2011 Budget 
          Act.

           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

             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.  

           NOTE:  This bill appropriates $1,000 from the General Fund 
                 to the CDFA for administrative costs.
