State claims.

Existing law requires the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board to report to the Legislature when a sufficient appropriation is not available for the payment of a claim against the state allowed by the board. This bill would appropriate $624,671.86 from the General Fund to the Executive Officer of the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board to pay claims accepted by the board. The bill would require the Controller, upon the request of the board, in a form prescribed by the Controller, to transfer surcharges and fees from the specified Budget Act item of appropriation identified in the bill to Item 1870-001-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2012. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
