Costa
DATE'. April 14, 1986 courty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 1114 (Mello)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 1114 by Senator Mello.
BACKGROUND:
Federal cuts already implemented through the
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings ' Deficit Reduction Act have impacted
funding for nutrition and social service programs for the elderly
in California. In the absence of additional funding from the
State, it will be necessary to reduce nutrition and social
services to the elderly for the balance of the current fiscal
year.
Senator Mello has, therefore, introduced SB 1114 which
appropriates $1. 9 million from the State General Fund to the.
State Department of Aging to replace the Federal monies lost
through the implementation of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings' Deficit
Reduction Act.
SB 1114 has passed the Senate and was on third reading on the
Assembly floor April 7. While the bill received 43 "aye" votes,
it required 54 votes, or a two-thirds majority, in order to adopt
the urgency clause which is necessary in order to make the funds
available during the current fiscal year. A motion to reconsider
the vote was made by Assemblyman Bronzan and granted by the
Assembly.
The bill is currently on the inactive file pending efforts to
obtain additional support for the bill. It is, therefore,
important that the Board of Supervisors indicate their support
for SB 1114 as quickly as possible.
