           SUBJECT  :    Budget Act of 2012:  State Department of State 
          Hospitals

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes changes related to the State 
          Hospitals part of the 2012-13 Budget primarily related to 
          the abolishment of the Department of Mental Health (DMH) 
          and the establishment of the State Department of State 
          Hospitals (DSH).  The majority of changes delete statutory 
          references to DMH and insert DSH.

           Senate Floor Amendments  of 8/21/12 delete the contents of 
          the bill.  The amendments now constitute the bill.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law provides for state hospitals for 
          the care, treatment, and education of mentally disordered 
                                                           CONTINUED

          persons, which are under the jurisdiction of the DSH.

          This bill makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to 
          various provisions of law to, in part, delete obsolete 
          references to the DMH.

          This bill appropriates the sum of $1,000 from the General 
          Fund to the DSH for administration.

          This bill declares that it is to take effect immediately as 
          a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget 
          Bill.
