Extinguishes approximately $4.1 billion in lease-revenue bond (LRB) authority established by the Public Safety and Offender Rehabilitation Services Act of 2007 (AB 900) for construction of thousands of infill, reentry, and medical prison beds.

Bill Number

STATUS
SB 1036
Human Services: Coordinated Care Initiative
Chaptered

Implements the Governor's Coordinated Care Initiative (CCI) (with regards to In-Home Supportive Services), in which Medi-Cal "dual eligible" enrollees would receive both health care and long-term support services (LTSS) through Medi-Cal managed care plans. Creates the In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Employer-Employee Relations Act for purposes of recognizing IHSS union representatives as eligible to bargain with the newly created Statewide Authority for wages and compensation of IHSS employees, driving up costs for the program. The state-level collective bargaining is effective in counties participating in the dual demonstration project (eight counties beginning in March 2013). Phases in the initiative over a three year period, beginning in 2013. As more counties transition into the program, costs for wages within the IHSS program are likely to increase as state-level bargaining for wages will create a "race to the top" for compensation across the state.
SB 1038
Boards & Commissions
Chaptered

Makes statutory changes to various boards and commissions, including eliminating the Fair Employment and Housing Commission, revising statutes and expanding duties related to the Commission on the Status of Women, eliminating various boards and task forces, and revising the make-up of the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board.  Violates the CA Constitution, which prohibits the elimination of state commissions on an urgency basis.
SB 1041
Human Services
Chaptered

Enacts statutory changes necessary to implement the 2012 Budget. It generates savings in the CalWORKs program through a new 24 month time limit for services, but adds a new exemption to the program (allowing more recipients to receive welfare checks while not participating in work requirements), and reduces the administrative funding as a result of this exemption. The 2012 Budget spends $800 million more than the Governor's January CalWORKs reform and In-Home Supportive Services reductions.
AB 1464
Budget Act
Chaptered
Ch 21/2012
Reflects the Democrat's majority vote budget scheme for 2012-13. According to the Governor, it is a structurally imbalanced budget now and in the future. It appears to rely on future tax increases and gimmicks for 90% ($14.5 billion) of the $16.2 billion of budget defcit solutions, and only 10% ($1.7 billion) of real programmatic spending reductions. If the voters do not enact a 7-year $47 billion tax increase in Novemeber this budget will trigger $6 billion of devasting cuts to K-14 and Higher Education programs.
AB 1465
Transportation
Chaptered

Transfers gas excise tax revenues to the General Fund, provides General Fund relief and loan flexibility related to transportation debt service payments, and loans Motor Vehicle Account (MVA) funds to the General Fund.
AB 1467

AB 1494
