	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1065, Kehoe. State claims.
   Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to report to the Legislature when a
sufficient appropriation is not available for the payment of a claim
against the state allowed by the board.
   This bill would appropriate $624,671.86 from the General Fund to
the Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board to pay claims accepted by the board. The bill
would require the Controller, upon the request of the board, in a
form prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees
from the specified Budget Act item of appropriation identified in the
bill to Item 1870-001-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of
2012.
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Appropriation: yes.
