        Majority vote.  Budget Bill Appropriation Takes Effect Immediately 

         SENATE VOTE  :Vote not relevant  
         
         SUMMARY  :  This supplemental appropriations bill (also called a  
        "deficiency bill") appropriates $497.3 million from the General Fund  
        for unanticipated costs incurred in Fiscal Year 2012-13.  
        Specifically,  this bill:  

        1)Allocates $482.8 million General Fund to the Department of Health  
          Care Services to address a loss in savings due to the shift of the  
          Healthy Families program to Medi-Cal, lack of federal approval to  
          eliminate supplemental payments to non-designated public  
          hospitals, and a court injunction related to provider rate  
          reductions.

        2)Allocates $2.6 million to the Department of Developmental Services  
          to support a higher than budgeted population in the state  
          developmental centers.

        3)Allocates $5.6 million for Regional Centers within the Department  
          of Developmental Services to backfill the loss of federal Title XX  
          block grant funding as a result of the federal sequester.

        4)Allocates $224,976 to reimburse qualifying counties for costs  
          associated with homicide trials. Specifically, provides $12,773  
          General Fund to Mariposa County for the case People v. Cary  
          Stayner; $59,629 General Fund to Amador County for the cases  
          People v. Bergo and People v. Manisap, Nguyen, Saechao, Tai, and  
          Tran; and $152,574 General Fund to Lassen County for the case  
          People v. Mcelrath, James.

        5)Allocates $5.9 million to Health and Dental Benefits for  
          Annuitants for June health care premiums due to a shortfall in  
          federal Medicare Part D subsidy funds that happened during the  
          state's transition to the Employer Group Waiver Plan for CalPERS  
          Supplemental Medicare Plans.

        6)Specifies that funds designated for the above purposes that have  
          not been used by June 30, 2013, must revert to the General Fund.

         FISCAL EFFECT  :  $497.3 million General Fund appropriation to various  
        departments for current-year expenses.  Unspent funds will be  
        transferred back to the General Fund.

         COMMENT  :  This bill contains funding necessary to address  
        deficiencies in the 2012 Budget Act.  The funds have already been  
        expended and the costs are reflected in the 2013-14 Budget package.
