BILL ANALYSIS Ó SB 102 Page 1 Date of Hearing: August 27, 2015 ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON BUDGET Shirley Weber, Chair 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 SB 102 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. COMMENTS: This bill contains necessary statutory and technical changes to implement the Budget Act of 2015 related to General Government.
