Members to be sent to Governor Pete Wilson and our State Legislative Delegation indicating the Board's support of SCA,
a constitutional amendment that would require only a simple majority vote of the Legislature to pass the State Budget.
Authorize Supervisor Tom Torlakson to testify in behalf of the Board when this amendment, as.well as those assembly
constitutional amendments pertaining to"no work/no pay" provisions, comes before the legislative committees.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Board took action to support the passage of"No Work/No Pay" provisions as they
relate to the passage of the State Budget. SCA 26, introduced by Senator Mike Thompson, would further assist in the
timely passage of the budget by requiring only a simple majority vote of the Legislature to pass the budget.
This is another legislative tool to hold our representatives accountable for adopting the Budget on time.
