 BILL NUMBER: SB 704AMENDED BILL TEXT AMENDED IN SENATE APRIL 2, 2009 INTRODUCED BY Senator Denham  (   Coauthor:   Assembly Member   Huffman   )  FEBRUARY 27, 2009  An act to amend Section 163 of the Military and Veterans Code, relating to the state militia.   An act to amend Item 5240-301-0660 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2003 (Chapter 157 of the Statutes of 2003), and to amend Items 5225-301-0660 and 5225-491 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2008 (Chapters 268 and 269 of the Statutes of 2008), relating to the state budget.  LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 704, as amended, Denham.  State militia: Adjutant General: duties.  State budget.   The Budget Act of 2008 appropriates $136,275,000 for construction of the Condemned Inmate Complex at San Quentin State Prison. A prior appropriation in the Budget Act of 2003 appropriated $220,000,000 for this construction and the balance was reappropriated in the Budget Act of 2008.   This bill would eliminate both appropriations and the reappropriation, to the extent these funds have not been expended.   Existing law requires the Adjutant General to perform various duties with regard to the National Guard as are prescribed in the Military and Veterans Code and any additional duties that are consistent with the regulations and customs of the federal military organizations, as specified.   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.  Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no   yes  . State-mandated local program: no.
