   SB 878, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review.
 Budget Act of 2014.   In-home supportive

legislation that would make statutory changes necessary to eliminate
the 7% across-the-board reduction to in-home supportive services
hours imposed by the settlement of the Dominguez v. Brown and Oster
v. Lightborne court cases, as specified.  
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2014. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
