Fiscal Impact: ALRB indicates that it would incur annual General Fund costs of $2 million to implement the provisions of the bill. A 2015-16 augmentation to ALRB's budget could potentially be used to perform some of the bill's workload. Author Amendments: Make technical changes. AB 561 (Campos) Page 1 of ? -- END --
