           SUBJECT  :    Electronic Funds Transfer Task Force

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill repeals the Electronic Funds Task 
          Force (Task Force) and its related functions.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law establishes the Task Force to 
          study and report to the Legislature by April 1, 2008, a 
          plan for development and implementation of a new payment 
          dispersal system utilizing electronic funds transfer 
          technology.

           Background
           
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               AB 2329

          Per information provided by the Board of Equalization, the 
          Task Force never produced a report.  The reporting 
          requirement was subsequently repealed by AB 1585 (Assembly 
          Accountability and Administrative Review Committee), 
          Chapter 7, Statutes of 2010. 

           Comments
           
           Purpose of this bill  .  According to the author, "The Task 
          Force is responsible for providing a plan on the 
          development and implementation of a new payment dispersal 
          system using electronic funds transfer technology.  The 
          Task Force is no longer needed because the plan was 
          completed in 2008. Elimination of the Task Force would help 
          reduce the number of non-operating boards in our state." 

           Prior Legislation   

          AB 2098 (Liu), Chapter 818, Statutes of 2006, established 
          the Task Force for the purpose of developing a plan to 
          implement a new electronic payment dispersal system. 

          AB 1585 (Assembly Accountability and Administrative Review 
          Committee), Chapter 7, Statutes of 2010, revised the 
          procedure for mandatory and voluntary reporting 
          requirements and deleted obsolete reports, including the 
          report due from the Task Force related to the plan for the 
          development and implementation of a payment dispersal 
          system utilizing electronic funds transfer technology.
