          SB  
          102 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review) - As Amended August  
          24, 2015


          SENATE VOTE:  Vote not relevant 


          SUBJECT:  Budget Act of 2015


          SUMMARY:  Contains necessary statutory and technical changes to  
          implement the Budget Act of 2015 related to General Government.   
          Specifically, this bill:  


               1)     Clarifies that  the cap on allocations received  by  
                 counties for recidivism and crime reduction are to be  
                 based on each year's Budget Act allocation.   


               2)     Corrects a technical drafting error in the trailer  
                 bill that exempted the Health Benefits Exchange (HBEX)  
                 from the State Contract Act, only pertaining to public  
                 works procurements.  This correction exempts HBEX from  
                 all of Part 2 (commencing with Section 10100) of Division  
                 2 of the Public Contract Code, reflecting the  
                 Legislature's intent to exempt all HBEX contracts  
                 (including its goods and services contracts and its  
                 Information Technology contracts) from the Public

                                                                    Page  2





                 Contract Code requirements. 


               3)     Allows the Department of Human Resources to set  
                 Compensation rates for members of the Occupational safety  
                 health appeals board and the Board of Parole Hearings  
                 instead of specifying the compensation rate for board  
                 members in statute. 


               4)     Makes technical clarification to the brace and bolt  
                 program that ensures that the definition for single  
                 family and multi-family structure under the revenue and  
                 taxation code and the insurance code are consistent.  


               5)     Includes a technical change to the PERS reporting  
                 language to include a due date for the first report. 


               6)     Appropriates $400,000 from the State Department of  
                 Public Health Licensing and Certification Program to the  
                 Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. 


          FISCAL EFFECT:  Appropriates $400,000 from the State Department  
          of Public Health Licensing and Certification Program to the  
          Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.

          changes to implement the Budget Act of 2015 related to General  
          Government.
