COMMENTS : This bill does not contain an urgency clause. The
delay of enactment results in a loss of $44 million in program
savings.
This bill does not reduce funding for State Parks, but the
overall budget package assumes that the GF current appropriated
for parks will be offset with General Funds savings that is
achieved through the adoption of a park pass.
