Under existing law, if sufficient appropriations are not available for the payment of certain claims, settlements, or judgments, the Attorney General is required to report the claims, settlements, and judgments to the chairperson of either the Senate Committee on Appropriations or the Assembly Committee on Appropriations, who is then required to cause introduction of legislation appropriating the funds necessary for payment.

This bill would appropriate an unspecified amount from the General Fund to the Attorney General to pay the judgment in an unspecified case.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
