	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 910, Kehoe. State claims.
   Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to ensure that all claims that have been
approved by the board and for which there exists no legally available
appropriation, are submitted for legislative approval at least twice
each calendar year.
   This bill would appropriate $1,224,892.14 from the General Fund to
the Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to pay claims accepted by the board. The bill
would require the Controller, upon the request of the board, in a
form prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees
from the General Fund to Item 1870-001-0001 of Section 2.00 of the
Budget Act of 2010.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.
