Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.
As enacted, Senate Bill 1096 affected numerous sections of the Education Code; Government Code; Health and Safety Code; Revenue and Taxation Code; Vehicle Code; uncodified section 40 of Chapter 91, Statutes of 1991; uncodified section 210 of Chapter 89, statutes of 1991; and uncodified section 29 of Chapter 100, Statutes of 1993, relating to the budget and local government finance. (See Exhibit A, #1d) The Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review introduced the bill on January 12, 2004 as a “spot bill” containing a single section proposing the Legislative intent to enact statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2004. (See Exhibit A, #1a) “Spot Bills” are basically “bookmarks” for a later incorporation of a lengthier legislative proposal once its terms are finalized. It assures that legislative time frames for the introduction and consideration of bills are timely met.
