           SUBJECT  :    Budget Act of 2010:  Revisions

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill makes budgetary loans and transfers in 
          the 2010-11 fiscal year by amending the 2010 Budget Act. 

           Assembly Amendments  delete the prior version of the bill, 
          and insert the current provisions relating to budgetary 
          loans and transfers.

           ANALYSIS  :    This bill amends the 2010 Budget Act to add 
          new budgetary loans and transfers from special funds to the 
          General Fund.  In total, the amount directed to the General 
          Fund in this bill is $544.7 million.  The loans must be 
          repaid as needed to support the activities of the related 
          programs.    

          Most of these loans were proposed by the Governor to 
          backfill for the revenue loss caused by the cancelation of 
          the sale-for-leaseback of 11 large state office buildings.  
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                                 SB 84

          The sale of the state office buildings would have resulted 
          in higher ongoing lease costs, and carried an implied 
          interest rate of approximately 10 percent.  The special 
          fund loans will have a much lower interest cost - likely 
          under two percent.  

          This bill includes the Proposition 25 language that 
          identifies all the budget trailer bills.

          The loans and transfers are as follows:
