This bill would amend the Budget Act of 2003 to extend the time
for repayment of those transfers to the 2nd half of the 2010-11
fiscal year.
The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a
fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for
that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal
emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on
December 1, 2008.
This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency
declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on December 1, 2008,
pursuant to the California Constitution.
The bill would become operative only if AB 2 and SB 9 of the
2009-10 1st Extraordinary Session are enacted.

statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2008.
