Sacramento was eerily quite this week as the election held on June 3 diverted the Capitol’s attention. Last week, the Assembly Budget Subcommittees completed their review of budget issues. The full Senate Budget Committee adjourned yesterday by closing out corrections-related items. With both the Senate and Assembly concluding their respective budget processes, the two-house Conference Committee will begin its deliberations to reconcile the differences between their respective versions of the budget next week. To date, the conferees have not been announced.
The Conference Committee will have an extremely long list of items to discuss. The scorecard for determining what issues are in conference is quite complicated. For example, if the Senate and Assembly took similar actions — such as rejecting the 10% cut to Adult Protective Services — then the item does not go on the Conference Agenda. However, there are instances that are not as cut and dry.
