          SUMMARY:  Contains necessary statutory and technical changes to  








                                                                     SB 102


                                                                    Page  2





          implement the Budget Act of 2015 related to General Government.   
          Specifically, this bill:  


          1)Provides clarification on the maximum level of funding  
            available to counties, from the Recidivism Reduction Fund, for  
            recidivism and crime reduction efforts in each specified  
            fiscal year. 


          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 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.
