	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1804, as amended, Hagman. Employment Training Fund.
   Existing law specifies that moneys in the Employment Training Fund
are to be expended only for particular purposes relating to
employment training and related administrative costs, but authorizes
those moneys to be used for, among other purposes, loans to the
General Fund  and also authorizes the Legislature to appropriate
from the Employment Training Fund an amount specified in the annual
Budget Act to fund the local assistance portion of welfare-to-work
activities under the CalWORKs program  , in accordance with
specified provisions.
   This bill would  prohibit   replace those
provisions authorizing  moneys in the Employment Training Fund
 from being   to be  used for loans to the
General Fund  and would also repeal those provisions authorizing
the Legislature to appropriate that amount in the annual Budget Act
from the Employment Training Fund to fund the local assistance
portion of welfare-to-work activities under the CalWORKs program. The
bill would also provide that moneys in the Employment Training Fund
shall not be appropriated for any other purpose other than those
specified  .
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1611 of the Unemployment Insurance Code is
amended to read:
   1611.  Moneys in the Employment Training Fund  shall be
appropriated only for the purposes specified in this section and
shall not be appropriated for any other purpose. Moneys  shall
be expended only for the purposes of Chapter 3.5 (commencing with
Section 10200) of Part 1 of Division 3, and for the costs of
administering this article and Section 976.6, except those moneys may
be used for any of the following:
   (a) With the approval of the Legislature, the fund or
contributions to it may be used to pay interest charged on federal
loans to the Unemployment  Insurance  Fund.
   (b) Commencing with allocations made to the Employment Training
Panel in the 1992-93 fiscal year, any moneys allocated to the panel
in a fiscal year that are not encumbered by the panel in that fiscal
year, shall revert to the Unemployment Insurance Fund.
   (c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the panel shall
closely monitor program performance and expenditures for employment
training programs administered by the panel, and that the panel shall
expeditiously disencumber funds that are not needed for employment
training program completion. Commencing with the 1992-93 fiscal year,
those moneys that are disencumbered during the fiscal year that are
not reencumbered during the same fiscal year shall revert to the
Unemployment Insurance Fund.
   SEC. 2.    Section 1611.5 of the  
Unemployment Insurance Code   is repealed.  
   1611.5.  Notwithstanding Section 1611, the Legislature may
appropriate from the Employment Training Fund an amount specified in
the annual Budget Act to fund the local assistance portion of
welfare-to-work activities under the CalWORKs program, provided for
pursuant to Article 3.2 (commencing with Section 11320) of Chapter 2
of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, as
