An act to amend Section 10214.6 of the Unemployment Insurance Code, and to amend Section 3 of Chapter 1 of the Statutes of the 1993–94 First Extraordinary Session, relating to economic development, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 4, Baca. Economic development: Norton Air Force Base.
(1)  Existing law authorizes the Employment Training Panel within the Employment Development Department to allocate up to $10,000,000 to fund special employment training agreements that are related to, and in response to, the establishment of a federal Defense Finance and Accounting Services facility at the existing site of Norton Air Force Base if the base is selected as the site for the federal facility on or before December 31, 1993.
This bill would extend this date to February 1, 1995.
(2)  Existing law appropriates $1,500,000 from the Federal Trust Fund received from the Petroleum Violation Escrow Account and related sources, to the Trade and Commerce Agency for allocation to the Inland Valley Development Agency to provide funds to rehabilitate facilities to be used by the federal Defense Finance and Accounting Service Center facility at the existing site of Norton Air Force Base in San Bernardino County. This provision of law will become inoperative if the center is not located on Norton Air Force Base and will also be inoperative on February 1, 1994, if the facility is not awarded to that site before that date.
This bill would also extend that date to February 1, 1995. By extending the time period during which this existing appropriation from the Federal Trust Fund would be available, this bill would constitute an appropriation. The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
