BILLS INTRODUCED TO IMPLEMENT GOVERNOR’S ECONOMIC STIMULUS PROGRAM — Yesterday, two bills were introduced in the Senate to carry out the economic stimulus program that the Governor outlined in his State of the State address last week. The first bill, SB 1 (Peace) of the 3rd Extraordinary Session implements the mid year cuts to appropriations made by the Budget Act of 2001, which was signed last summer. This measure simply reduces the appropriations in the current year budget that the Governor has previously indicated were necessary to help close the gap between revenues and expenditures in the current year.

The other measure is SB 3 (Alarcon) of the 3rd Extraordinary Session. This measure proposes the appropriation of $678,289,000 in revenue bond funds for economic stimulus. The lion’s share of these appropriations are for higher education projects that were previously announced with the introduction of the Governor’s Budget late last week. Specific appropriation language for the community colleges amount of $170,478,000 is reflected below. Unlike earlier expectations that the current year revenue bond projects would be appropriated in the current year by a special bill and the remainder in the Budget Act of 2002, all eleven projects are proposed to be appropriated in SB 3.

(6) The sum of one hundred seventy million four hundred sixty-eight thousand dollars ($170,468,000) to the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges for the following projects:
