Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees from specified Budget Act
items of appropriation identified in the bill to Item 1870-001-0001
of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2011.
   This bill also would appropriate to the board $162,700 to pay a

    This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
