Original Committee Reference: RULES
SUMMARY : Makes technical and programmatic statutory changes to
clarify education appropriations, clarifies the California State
Lottery (Lottery) director's authority relative to state employees,
and requires Lottery audits be posted on the Internet. These changes
would be placed before the voters, along with various sections of
Chapter 764, Statutes of 2008 (AB 1654), the lottery modernization
trailer bill for the Budget Act of 2008, at the next statewide
election.
The Senate amendments delete the Assembly version of this bill, and
instead:
1)Make various clarifications to the statutory appropriations
contained in AB 1654, the Lottery modernization trailer bill for
the Budget Act of 2008, including the following:
a) Clarify that for the 2009-10 fiscal year, the
General Fund (GF) amounts appropriated for K-12 education
and community colleges under the Lottery proposal shall be
in addition to the Proposition 98 minimum guarantee.
b) Clarify that the GF amounts appropriated from
2009-10 for K-12 education and community colleges under the
lottery proposal will be included in the Proposition 98
base minimum guarantee in 2010-11 and future years.
c) Clarify the methodology for adjusting the
Proposition 98 "Test 1" factor to ensure all future
Proposition 98 calculations include the GF amounts
appropriated for K-12 education and community colleges

under the lottery proposal.
1)Clarify the lottery director's authority relative to state
employees. AB 1654 broadened the lottery director's expenditure
authority to include all expenditures "necessary or reasonable for
effectuating the purposes" of the Lottery, including employee
incentives. This bill clarifies that, in exercising his/her
authority relative to employee incentives, the director is still
bound by existing state law governing state employer-employee
relations.
2)Revise and re-codifies existing Lottery audit requirements to
require that various reports be posted on the Internet.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill expressed the intent of the
Legislature to make statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of
2008.
