Proposal for 18 Positions in Division of Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Resources

Continuous appropriation of $15.3 million from State Parks Recreation Fund
|
Reject the Governor's proposal to continuously appropriate $15.3 million from the State Parks Recreation Fund because it would limit the Legislature's authority and not result in the stated goal of incentivizing districts to generate revenue.

Delta Stewardship Council
|
Unallocated federal reimbursement authority
|
Reduce Governor’s January budget request for federal reimbursement authority by $2.9 million. The Council has not received federal approval or identified a use for these funds. Approving the request would limit the Legislature's authority to approve funding for specific expenditures. This $2.9 million makes up 14 percent of the expenditure authority proposed for the Council in 2012-13.
