BILL ANALYSIS

          SENATE THIRD READING
          SB 859 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee)
          As Amended  October 7, 2010
          2/3 vote.  Urgency 

           SENATE VOTE  :Vote not relevant  
           
           SUMMARY  :  Places either Assembly Constitutional Amendment 4 or  
          Senate Constitutional Amendment 10 on the November 6, 2012  
          ballot.  Stipulates the ballot label language.

          Urgency Clause.  Declares this bill take effect immediately as  
          an urgency statute.

           FISCAL EFFECT  :  Unknown.  Presumably some small absorbable state  
          costs associated with adding this measure to the 2012 Statewide  
          General Election ballot

           COMMENTS  :  ACA 4 and SCA 10 are identical versions of the  
          "budget reform" proposal that is part of the 2010-11 Budget  
          package.  If either of these provisions are adopted by the  
          Legislature this bill allows that amendment to be considered in  
          the 2012 General Election rather than the next occurring  
          statewide election.

          The ballot label language prescribed by this bill would be  
          identical to the label used for Proposition 1A of 2009.
