          SENATE THIRD READING
          SB 75 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee)
          As Amended March 14, 2011
          2/3 vote.  Urgency 

           SENATE VOTE  :  Vote not relevant  
           
           SUMMARY  :  Contains necessary statutory changes to amend 
          appropriations contained in the 2011 Budget Act for the 
          Department of Health Care Services (DHCS).  Specifically,  this 
          bill  :

          1)Shifts $1 billion in Proposition 10 reserves to the Medi-Cal 
            program to support medical services for children 0-5 years of 
            age.  The bill specifies that, of this $1 billion, $50 million 
            is to come from the State Children and Families Commission 
            reserves and $950 million is to come from County First 5 
            Commissions, by way of each county commission transferring 50% 
            of its reserves to the state by no later than June 30, 2012.  
            The bill exempts the state's smallest, rural counties (those 
            with less than $600,000 in annual Proposition 10 revenue).  
            This bill also makes findings and declarations establishing 
            the fact that this action does not in any way violate the 
            existing Proposition 10 statute, particularly as it pertains 
            to the non-supplantation requirement, in light of the state's 
            fiscal emergency and inability to maintain funding for core 
            medical services for young children at this time.


          2)Adds an urgency clause allowing this bill to take effect 
            immediately upon enactment.
           
          FISCAL EFFECT  :  This bill implements the necessary policy 
          changes to achieve $1 billion in General Fund savings, as 
          contained in the 2011-12 Budget package.
