SUMMARY : Contains necessary statutory and technical changes to
implement changes to the Budget Act of 2011.
The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill,
and instead:
1)Extend the sunset from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2018 on
the Consumer Participation Program, within the Department of
Managed Health Care, which provides compensation (non-General
Fund) to consumer advocacy organizations for their substantial
contributions of time and expertise to regulatory proceedings
of the Department.
2)Improve reporting and information sharing related to the
continued implementation of the 2009 Governor's Reorganization
Plan No. 1 (GRP), which consolidated information technology
policy and project development under the now-California
Technology Agency, by expanding current reporting to include
such metrics as cost and risk avoidance and any impediments to
the continued implementation of the GRP. In addition, a copy
of the annual report on information technology savings will be
required to be transmitted to the Joint Legislative Budget
Committee and fiscal committees of both houses of the
Legislature.
3)Extend the deadline for implementation of the Alternate Base
Period Program, administered by Employment Development
Department, from September 3, 2011 to April 2, 2012.
4)Eliminate the Economic Strategy Panel, which duties and
assignments will be absorbed by the Labor and Workforce
Development Agency.

5)Transfer the Governor's Commission on Employment of People
with Disabilities to the Department of Rehabilitation,
retaining appointment authority by the Senate Rules Committee
and Speaker of the Assembly.
6)Repeals previous general government trailer bill action, SB 80
(Budget and Fiscal Review Committee) Chapter 11, Statutes of
2011, that required the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to provide notice to the chairpersons
of the committees in each house of the Legislature that
consider appropriations and the annual Budget Act, and the
Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, within
a specified period of time prior to allowing either the use of
a current year appropriation to pay claims for prior year
costs of $500,000 or more, or claims from a single provider of
goods or services with respect to a single department that
exceeds $500,000 within one year.
7)Extend the date from June 30, 2011 to June 30, 2014 during
which period the Controller may assess special and
nongovernmental cost funds, federal funds and the General Fund
to pay for the portions of the project that are attributable
to those respective funds.
8)Remove the requirement that when local agency formation
commission (LAFCO) adopts, amends or updates a sphere of
influence, districts file written statements with LAFCO
regarding services provided and other information about the
district. Specifies that LAFCO may require such written
statements. This action removes the mandate for this
particular activity.
9)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 relating to the 2011
Budget Act.
