Overview
This bill authorizes the state to use funds from the General Fund to pay a specific judgment against the state. Currently, the Attorney General must report unpaid claims to the Appropriations Committees, who then introduce legislation to fund them. This bill streamlines the process by directly appropriating funds for a single judgment. It is being enacted as an urgency measure to quickly resolve outstanding claims and alleviate hardship for those affected.
Key provisions
- Appropriates funds from the General Fund.
- Directs funds to the Attorney General.
- Specifically targets a judgment in an unspecified case.
- Establishes a reversion process for unspent funds.
- Declares the bill an urgency statute.
Who is affected
- The State of California
- Claimants affected by the judgment

Notable changes
- Directly appropriates funds for a specific judgment, bypassing the traditional reporting and legislative process.
- Allows for immediate payment of the judgment.
Fiscal impact
The bill appropriates an unspecified amount from the General Fund, and any unspent funds will revert to the General Fund on June 30 of the fiscal year in which the final payment is made.
