LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 105, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Corrections facilities: financing.
Existing law authorizes the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to design and construct new, or renovate existing, buildings and any necessary ancillary improvements at facilities under the department’s jurisdiction to provide medical, dental, and mental health treatment or housing. Existing law limits financing pursuant to this authorization to specified facilities and projects, including all projects established by the board in the Health Care Facility Improvement Program. Under existing law, costs for design and construction, including renovation, and construction-related costs for all projects approved for financing by the State Public Works Board may not exceed $1,089,579,000. Existing law continuously appropriates the funds derived from interim financing, revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes issued pursuant to these provisions to the board on behalf of the department for these purposes.
This bill would increase the maximum amount of costs authorized for the purposes described above to $1,139,429,000. The bill would make the additional $49,850,000 available for allocation to any project established by the board in the Health Care Facility Improvement Program, subject to existing requirements, including that each allocation be approved by the board and that the Department of Finance report specified information regarding the project to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the fiscal committees of each house of the Legislature at least 20 days before the board’s approval. By increasing the amount of funds that are continuously appropriated to the board on behalf of the department for these purposes, the bill would make an appropriation.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: YES   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
