           SUMMARY  : Contains necessary statutory and technical changes in 
          the area of state government in order to enact modifications to 
          the 2010-11 Budget Act.

           The Senate amendments  delete the Assembly version of this bill, 
          and instead:

          1)Appropriate $48 million from the American Recovery and 
            Reinvestment Act incentives funds tied to the implementation 
            of an Alternate Base Period (ABP) methodology for calculating 
            unemployment insurance benefits.  These funds, pending an 
            application approval process from the U.S. Department of 
            Labor, will be used to support the Employment Development 
            Department's program operations through Fiscal Year 2014-15. 

          2)Add an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect 
            immediately upon enactment.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill expresses the intent of the 
          Legislature to enact statutory changes relating to the 2011 
          Budget Act.
