          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

                                                                    Page  3





            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.
