           SUMMARY  :  Contains necessary statutory changes in the area of 
          natural resources in order to enact the 2011 Budget Act.

           The Senate Amendments  delete the Assembly version of this bill, 
          and instead: 

          1)Implements California Department of Food and Agriculture 
            budget reductions.  Provides changes to implement various 
            budget reductions, eliminates programs, and deletes obsolete 
            statutes mostly related to slaughterhouse licensing.  Provides 
            for fees to pay for regulatory programs and shifts certain 
            revenues to the department for specific regulatory programs 
            rather than to the General Fund.  Includes technical cleanup 
            language.

          2)Provides cleanup language related to park liability.  Amends 
            liability assurances for parks that are designated as closed 
            as listed by the Department of Parks and Recreation.  For 
            parks that are partially closed, or subject to service 
            reductions, liability is unchanged and consistent with other 
            state liability assurances. 
            
          3)Provides a technical budget accounting change to the 
            Department of Conservation.  Authorizes the Department of 
            Conservation to shift its clearing account to an appropriate 
            special fund. 

          4)Add an appropriation allowing this bill to take effect 
            immediately upon enactment. 

           AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY  , this bill expresses the intent of the 
          Legislature to enact statutory changes to the 2011 Budget Act.
