AI Summary

This bill appropriates funds from the California General Fund to the Attorney General to pay claims, settlements, or judgments against the state arising from three specific legal actions. The bill increases the total appropriation from $861,677.57 to $1,221,491.30, with the additional funds covering a new legal case. The breakdown of the appropriation includes $617,277.81 for the First Amendment Coalition v. Bonta case, $244,399.76 for the Linton v. Bonta case, and a new allocation of $359,813.73 for the X Corp. v. Bonta case. Any excess funds not required for these payments will revert to the General Fund within 45 days after final payment. The bill is classified as an urgency statute, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the stated purpose of quickly resolving legal claims and minimizing hardship to claimants. This type of bill is typical in state legislatures to address specific legal settlements that require immediate funding outside of the regular budget process.
