          necessary statutory and technical changes to implement changes  
          to the Budget Act of 2016 related to general government and  
          public safety facilities.  Specifically, this bill: 


          1)Expands the definition of a "human trafficking caseworker" to  
            include an individual who is employed by a homeless service  
            provider that services homeless children or youth, and has  
            completed a minimum of eight hours of training focused on  
            victims of human trafficking.
          2)Makes technical, conforming changes to implement the shift of  
            government claims programs out of the Victims Compensation  
            Board to the Department of General Services.


          3)Expands the definition of specified activities, to include the  
            financing for a specified low-rent housing project by a state  
            public body; Existing law provides that the words "develop,  
            construct, or acquire" for the purpose of the Article XXXIV  
            State Constitution shall not be interpreted to include  
            specified activities for a public body.

                                                                    Page  2






          4)Authorizes the California Air Resources Board to enter into  
            agreements with private entities to expedite the processing of  
            aftermarket and performance parts sold on specific motor  
            vehicles.


          FISCAL EFFECT:  Appropriates $3 million from the Gambling  
          Control Fund to the Department of Justice in order to address  
          the backlog in investigations related to card room licensing,  
          but does not increase the overall funding included in the  
          2016-17 budget. 


          COMMENTS:  


          This bill ensures Napa County will retain all past public safety  
          facility construction awards in addition to the award made  
          pursuant to the 2016 Budget Act.
