Bill No: AB 1481
Author: Committee on Budget
As Amended: August 11, 2014
Consultant: Julie Salley-Gray
Fiscal: Yes
Hearing Date: August 14, 2014
Subject: Jail bond financing
Summary: This bill provides technical cleanup to AB 1468
(Committee on Budget), Chapter 26, Statutes of 2014, as it
pertains to $500 million in lease-revenue bond financing
for county jails.
Background: The Legislature passed the public safety
trailer bill AB 1468, (Chapter 26, Statutes of 2014, which
contained $500 million in lease-revenue bond financing for
county jails. The Administration subsequently informed the
Legislature that a stand-alone jail bond trailer bill was
necessary. SB 863 (Budget and Fiscal Review Committee),
Chapter 37, Statutes of 2014, which contained only the jail
bond language from AB 1468 was approved on June 19, 2014.
However, that bill did not repeal the language previously
adopted in AB 1468. This bill corrects this oversight.
Fiscal Effect: Contains an appropriation for $5,000
General Fund for the Board of State and Community
Corrections to administer the new bond program.
Support: Unknown.
Opposed: Unknown.
Comments: Not applicable.
