Summary

SB239 would shift a portion of the Children First Trust Fund receipts that are currently allocated to the State Board of Education into the State General Fund for the 2012 fiscal year.

What This Bill Does

It redirects a specified portion of tobacco-related receipts from the Children First Trust Fund to the State General Fund for FY2012. The portion previously allocated to the State Board of Education would instead go to the General Fund for that year. The bill uses a broad override of other laws to make this one-year transfer, with the change taking effect immediately upon passage.

• State Board of Education: would lose the portion of receipts from the Children First Trust Fund that is currently allocated to it for FY2012.
• Children First Trust Fund: would see a reduction in receipts available for its allocations in FY2012 due to the transfer.

Key Provisions

• Transfers the portion of Children First Trust Fund receipts currently allocated for the State Board of Education to the State General Fund during the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.
• Notwithstanding any other law, authorizes this transfer to occur despite existing allocations.
• The act becomes effective immediately after passage and governor approval (or upon becoming law).
