Bill > AB1533

This bill appropriates $672 to the Department of General Services (DGS) to pay claims that have been accepted by the Government Claims Program, with the funding coming from two sources: $600 from the General Fund and $72 from the Motor Vehicle Account. Under existing law, the DGS is required to submit claims without a legally available appropriation to the legislature for approval at least annually, and this bill provides a specific appropriation to resolve those claims. The bill is designated as an urgency statute, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the stated rationale being the need to quickly resolve state claims and reduce financial hardship for claimants. The urgency designation allows the bill to bypass standard legislative waiting periods and go into effect right away, reflecting the state's desire to promptly address and pay outstanding claims.
