	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 24, as introduced, Blumenfield. Budget Act of 2011.
   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2011.
   The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a
fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for
that purpose. Governor Schwarzenegger issued a proclamation
declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this
purpose, on December 6, 2010. Governor Brown issued a proclamation on
January 20, 2011, declaring and reaffirming that a fiscal emergency
exists and stating that his proclamation supersedes the earlier
proclamation for purposes of that constitutional provision.
   This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency
declared and reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation issued on
January 20, 2011, pursuant to the California Constitution.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory
changes relating to the Budget Act of 2011.
  SEC. 2.  This act addresses the fiscal emergency declared and
reaffirmed by the Governor by proclamation on January 20, 2011,
pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 10 of Article IV of the
California Constitution.
