SUMMARY: Amends the 2015 Act, AB 123 (Budget Committee) of the
current legislative session and SB 97 (Budget and Fiscal Review
Committee), Chapter 11, Statutes of 2015, to make technical
amendments and corrections to budget provisions to adequately
reflect the agreement reached by the Legislature and the
Governor. Corrects omissions, clarifies previously-ambiguous
provisions, provides necessary statutory language for budgetary
allocations, and corrects amounts that were previously cited
incorrectly. 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

Training (POST) in the event that the Commission has a cash
flow issue due to their declining fund balance. It is
projected that the cash shortfall will occur from December
2015 to February 2016.
COMMENTS: This bill contains necessary statutory and technical
changes to amend the Budget Bill Junior of 2015 to reflect the
budget agreement between the Governor and the Legislature.
