State Budget Update for week of July 19
The Legislature is on summer recess. While Leadership meets with the Governor's office, the remaining Legislators (members of the Conference Committee on the Budget) are on-call. We will keep you posted on the budget process and any new developments.
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET SCHEDULE:
The Senate Budget & Fiscal Review website was just updated: They anticipate that the Conference Committee will meet mid-week, subject to change. There are no other legislative committee hearings scheduled for this week.
ON THE FRONT BURNER
AB 790 & AB 1699 (Hernandez/D-57) Supported by ACSS, SEIU Local 1000 CSEA Retirees, Inc., and CSUEU – Would provide that state workers salaries would still be paid in full if the Legislature fails to pass a budget on time, and would deem employees to have no break in their service. AB 1699 pass the Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday, July 15 by 6-1. It now heads to the Senate Floor. AB 790 is in the Senate and is on third reading.
