           SUMMARY  :  Requires, as an urgency measure, a state agency to  
          accept from a person or entity a registered warrant (RW) issued  
          by the State Controller that is endorsed by that payee, at full  
          face value, for the payment of any obligations owed by that  
          payee to that state agency, as specified, until July 1, 2012.  

           The Senate amendments  :

          1)Limit a state agency to accepting only a RW, not any other  
            forms of indebtedness issued by the State Controller for the  
            payment of any obligations owed by that payee to that state  
            agency.

          2)Make technical changes.

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill required, as an urgency  
          measure, a state agency to accept from any person or entity a RW  
          or other similar evidence of indebtedness issued by the State  
          Controller that is endorsed by that payee, at full face value,  
          for the payment of any obligations owed by that payee to that  
          state agency, as specified, until July 1, 2012.
