Specifically, this bill: 1)Clarifies that $2 million in State Special Education funds will be used to backfill the reduction of federal assistance funds. 2)Adjusts the federal fund spending authority for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 years for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. 3)Ensures ongoing funding for the Stanford Mansion. 4)Restores an unintentional reduction of $1.9 million General Fund for the Congregate Nutrition "Meals on Wheels" program. 5)Includes $14 million ($508,000 state operations, $13.5 million local assistance) to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, originally proposed in the January budget, from the appropriate bond allocation specifically designated for the Conservancy, rather than the Los Angeles River. 6)Removes funding ($50 million, Proposition 1) for Desalination in the State Water Resources Control Board that was already appropriated under the Department of Water Resources. 7)Provides additional Budget Bill language that authorizes a cash loan for the Commission on Peace Officer Standards SB 101 Page 3 Training (POST) in the event that the Commission has a cash flow issue due to their declining fund balance.
