Summary

Under existing law, an additional state penalty of $1 is levied for each $10 or fraction thereof, upon every fine, penalty, or forfeiture collected by the courts for criminal offenses. Those funds are required to be deposited into the state's DNA Identification Fund to fund the operation of the DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act, and to facilitate compliance with the requirement that DNA samples be included in the state summary criminal history information. This bill would increase that penalty to $3 for each $10 or fraction thereof, and would require those funds to be used to fund the operations of the Department of Justice forensic laboratories, including the operation of the DNA Fingerprint, Unsolved Crime and Innocence Protection Act, and to facilitate compliance with the requirement that DNA samples be included in the state summary criminal history information. The Alcoholic Beverage Control Act provides for the issuance and transfer of alcoholic beverage licenses by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The Alcoholic Beverage Tax Law imposes an excise tax, at specified rates, for the privilege of selling or possessing for sale beer, wine, sparkling wine, sparkling cider, and distilled spirits. Existing law requires all money collected as fee revenue under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, and money collected as excise tax revenue under the Alcoholic Beverage Tax Law, be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund for specified purposes. This bill would transfer a specified amount of federal moneys from certain Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control accounts to the Alcohol Beverage Control Fund. This bill would also require that, in implementing budget reductions to its inmate and parolee rehabilitation programs, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation consider prioritizing the reestablishment of credentialed teacher and vocational instructor positions in lieu of establishing teaching assistant positions where operationally feasible and beneficial to maintain quality educational programs. In order to maximize the number of inmates that can receive quality education programs with the limited dollars the department has available, the department would be required, whenever feasible based on the program curriculum, to consider placing inmates in half-day instead of full-day programs or using other appropriate methods for delivering educational programs while meeting cost reduction goals. The California Constitution authorizes the Governor to declare a fiscal emergency and to call the Legislature into special session for that purpose. The Governor issued a proclamation declaring a fiscal emergency, and calling a special session for this purpose, on January 8, 2010. This bill would state that it addresses the fiscal emergency declared by the Governor by proclamation issued on January 8, 2010, pursuant to the California Constitution.
