Bill > AB95

This bill, titled the Budget Act of 2012: augmentation, appropriates over $497 million from the General Fund for the 2012-13 fiscal year to augment a specific item within the existing Budget Act of 2012, which is the state's annual plan for spending. This augmentation, meaning an increase or addition, will be allocated by the Controller to various programs, including medical care and services, developmental centers, purchase of services, and health benefit premiums, with specific dollar amounts designated for each. Any unspent funds from these appropriations by June 30, 2013, will be returned to the General Fund. The bill is considered a Budget Bill, meaning it's part of the state's budget process, and will take effect immediately.
