SB 535: Claims against the state: appropriation.

Existing law requires the Attorney General, when there is not a sufficient appropriation for the payment of certain claims, settlements, or judgments, to report the claims, settlements, and judgments to the chairperson of either the Senate Committee on Appropriations or the Assembly Committee on Appropriations, who is then required to cause introduction of legislation appropriating necessary funds for payment.

This bill would appropriate $32,022,611.07 from the General Fund to the Attorney General to pay specific judgments.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
