prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees from
the specified Budget Act item of appropriation identified in the bill

This bill would require the board to provide a report of the amounts
recovered pursuant to this authority to the Department of Finance
within 90 days of the enactment of this act.
    This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
