SUBJECT : Payment of state claims
SOURCE : Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board
DIGEST : This bill appropriates $628,835.60 from the
General Fund to the Victim Compensation and Government
Claims Board (Board) to pay claims accepted by the Board.
ANALYSIS : The State Board of Control was established in
1945. It was revised and renamed the California Victim
Compensation and Government Claims Board by AB 2491
(Jackson), Chapter 1016, Statutes of 2000. Section 13928
of the Government Code requires the Board to ensure that
all claims which have been approved by the Board, and for
which there exists no legally available appropriation, are
submitted for legislative approval at least twice during
each calendar year.
The re-issuance of stale-dated warrants against the
Franchise Tax Board is the only type of claim to be paid

pursuant to this bill. The 209 claims range from $27.00 to
$215,891.54. For stale-dated warrants, the State
Controller must confirm that (1) the check was not cashed
and has not been issued and (2) more than three years have
elapsed since the check was issued and the monies have
reverted to the General Fund. For these warrants, an
appropriation is needed to reissue the payment. This
category also may include state treasury bonds that have
not been redeemed within 10 years of their maturity date,
but the majority of warrants are checks.
