because of the suspension of programs by the Pooled Money Investment
Board as described in California Department of Finance Budget Letter
08-33 shall have authority to amend the terms of the contract to
address contract deadlines and deliverables that may not be met
because of that suspension.  
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.

California Environmental Protection Agency and designates it as the
air pollution control agency for all purposes set forth in federal
law.  
   Existing law requires the state board and the State Department of
Public Health, in consultation with other entities as provided, to
conduct a comprehensive study and review of the environmental health
conditions in portable classrooms, as defined, by June 30, 2002.
