DIGEST:

This bill is the third Budget Bill Junior associated with the Budget Act of 2019. This bill makes technical and substantive changes to the Budget Act.

ANALYSIS: The Legislature has passed three budget bills that comprise the Budget Act of 2019:

• AB 74 (Ting, Chapter 23, Statutes of 2019),
• SB 106 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 55, Statutes of 2019), and
• AB 110 (Ting, Chapter 80, Statutes of 2019).

This bill includes additional provisions of the 2019 Budget. Specifically, this bill includes the following significant amendments:

Education

The following items were part of the June budget agreement or are technical in nature:

1. Amends funding for the Federal Title I, Part C, Migrant Education Program to reflect a reduction in available federal grant funding of $5 million and an increase of $5 million in available carryover funds.
2. Increases funding for the federal McKinney Vento Homeless Children Education Program by $1.8 million to reflect available federal grant funding.
3. Shifts $57.3 million of CalWORKs Stage 3 child care funding from the General Fund to federal funds, reduces the amount of federal funds for the Early Learning and Care Infrastructure Grant by $102.3 million, and increases the amount of federal funds for the Early Learning and Care Workforce Grant by $45 million. These changes correspond to changes to appropriations made in the education clean-up trailer bill.  Together the changes have a net zero impact on child care programs and reflect changes to the distribution of federal funds and General Fund in child care programs to align with allowable uses of federal funds.
4. Extends the date by which the Department of Education shall transfer funds to the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence for administration of the 21st Century California School Leadership Academy Grant to no later than December 15, 2019.
5. Amends a fund source for reappropriated Proposition 98 funds.
6. Eliminates the community college district local match requirement for the CalWORKs categorical program.
7. Provides $339,000 to promote equal employment opportunities, hiring and promotion at community college districts.
8.  Reappropriates $10.6 million Proposition 98 General Fund for various community college programs, including the Student Success and Support Program, Student Success and Basic Skills Students, Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure, Fund for Student Success, and Economic Development.
9. Makes other technical changes.

The following items are new or related to issues that were inadvertently left out of the June budget agreement:

1. Provides $206.1 million for the design-build phase of the Salton Sea Species Conservation Habitat project to commence this fiscal year, and reverts $89.6 million in funds previously provided for this purpose. The project will construct habitat crucial to restoring wildlife within the Salton Sea.

3. Appropriates $1 million General Fund for the Laguna Canyon Road Fuel Modification Project.

FISCAL EFFECT: Appropriation: Yes Fiscal Com.: Yes Local: No

According to the Senate Budget & Fiscal Review Committee, in amending the Budget Act of 2019, this bill includes net changes in appropriations of approximately a $34.2 million General Fund (GF) reduction, an increase of $1.2 million federal funds, and an increase $101.3 million special funds. The reduced GF is largely the result of a reduction of $57.3 million to reflect changes to the distribution of federal funds and GF in child care programs to align with allowable uses of federal funds. When taken together with changes made in the Education trailer bill, AB 114, the combined adjustments result in a net zero impact to child care programs.
