Section 12467
Status: in_force

(a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that the General Fund has experienced significant deficits in recent years due to economic factors and extraordinary demand for public services supported by the General Fund. In order to meet the cash needs of the state, it has been necessary to obtain external loans. The Legislature desires to provide a specific mechanism to eliminate chronic General Fund cash deficits, provide fiscal stability, and facilitate temporary, short-term borrowing.

(2) For purposes of this section, “unused borrowable resources,” as of any date, means total available borrowable resources on that date less total cumulative loan balances on that date.

(b) On November 15, 1994, the Controller shall provide a detailed report to the Legislature and the Governor of the estimated cash condition of the General Fund for the 1994–95 fiscal year. The Legislative Analyst shall prepare an analysis of General Fund revenues and expenditures for the 1994–95 fiscal year for use by the Controller in the estimate of the 1994–95 General Fund cash condition. The Legislative Analyst shall review the Controller’s estimate of the General Fund cash condition and within five working days shall advise the Controller, the Treasurer, the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the Director of Finance whether that estimate reasonably reflects anticipated expenditures and revenues during the fiscal year. The Controller’s report shall identify the amount of any 1995 cash shortfall, as set forth in this subdivision. To that end, the Controller shall identify the projected amount by which the unused borrowable resources on June 30, 1995, will differ from the unused borrowable resources on June 30, 1995, as indicated in the cash flow analysis included in the official statement accompanying the sale of the July 1994 revenue anticipation warrants. If the Controller’s report identifies a decrease in the unused borrowable resources on June 30, 1995, of more than four hundred thirty million dollars ($430,000,000), then the 1995 cash shortfall shall be the amount of the difference that exceeds four hundred thirty million dollars ($430,000,000). On or before January 10, 1995, the Governor shall propose legislation providing for sufficient General Fund expenditure reductions, revenue increases, or both, to offset the amount of the estimated 1995 cash shortfall as reported by the Controller. This legislation, or legislation providing equivalent expenditure reductions, revenue increases, or both, shall be enacted on or before February 15, 1995.

(c) The Director of Finance shall include updated cash flow statements for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years in the May revision to the budget proposal for the 1995–96 fiscal year submitted to the Legislature pursuant to Section 13308. The revised budget proposal for the 1995–96 fiscal year shall not result in any projected negative amount of unused borrowable resources as of June 30, 1996. By June 1, 1995, the Controller shall concur with those updated statements or provide a report to the Governor and the Legislature identifying specific corrections, objections, or concerns and the Controller’s estimate of the cash condition of the General Fund for the 1994–95 and 1995–96 fiscal years. If the Controller identifies any projected negative amount of unused borrowable resources as of June 30, 1996, then the Governor shall propose additional General Fund expenditure reductions, revenue increases, or both, to eliminate that cash shortfall. The enacted budget shall not result in any projected negative unused borrowable resources as of June 30, 1996.

(d) On October 15, 1995, the Controller shall provide a detailed report to the Legislature and the Governor of the estimated cash condition of the General Fund for the 1995–96 fiscal year. The Legislative Analyst shall prepare an analysis of General Fund revenues and expenditures for the 1995–96 fiscal year for use by the Controller in the estimate of the 1995–96 General Fund cash condition. The Legislative Analyst shall review the Controller’s estimate of the General Fund cash condition and within five working days shall advise the Controller, the Treasurer, the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the Director of Finance whether that estimate reasonably reflects anticipated expenditures and revenues during the fiscal year. The Controller’s report shall identify the amount of any 1996 cash shortfall, as set forth in this subdivision. The Controller shall identify the projected amount of unused borrowable resources as of June 30, 1996. If the Controller’s report identifies a negative amount of unused borrowable resources as of June 30, 1996, then the 1996 cash shortfall shall be the amount necessary to bring the balance of unused borrowable resources on June 30, 1996, to zero. Within 10 days of the Legislative Analyst’s review, the Governor shall propose legislation providing for sufficient General Fund expenditure reductions, revenue increases, or both, to offset the estimated 1996 cash shortfall as reported by the Controller. This legislation, or legislation providing equivalent expenditure reductions, revenue increases, or both, shall be enacted on or before December 1, 1995.

(e) (1) If the legislation required by subdivision (b) is not enacted, within five days the Director of Finance shall reduce all General Fund appropriations for the 1994–95 fiscal year, except those required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI, Section 25 of Article XIII, Section 6 of Article XIII B, or any other provision of the California Constitution, and general obligation debt service, or law of the United States, by the percentage equal to the ratio of the 1995 cash shortfall to total remaining General Fund appropriations for the 1994–95 fiscal year, after excluding the appropriations that are not subject to reduction.

(2) If the legislation required by subdivision (d) is not enacted, within five days the Director of Finance shall reduce all General Fund appropriations for the 1995–96 fiscal year, except those required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI, Section 25 of Article XIII, Section 6 of Article XIII B, or any other provision of the California Constitution, any general obligation debt service, or law of the United States, by the percentage equal to the ratio of the 1996 cash shortfall to total remaining General Fund appropriations for the 1995–96 fiscal year, after excluding the appropriations that are not subject to reduction.

(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a General Fund appropriation that is reduced pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) is for a program under which individuals other than an officer or employee of the state receive an amount determined pursuant to statute, whether that amount is an entitlement or not, that amount shall be reduced by the same percentage as the General Fund appropriation from which that payment is made is reduced.

(f) The State of California hereby pledges to and agrees with the holders of any registered reimbursement warrants and any revenue anticipation notes issued in July 1994, and any banking institutions that provide credit support for these warrants or notes, that the state will not limit or alter the obligation hereby required of the state by this section until the registered reimbursement warrants and revenue anticipation notes, together with interest thereon, are fully met and discharged.

The department may enter into arrangements with other public and state agencies for joint use of motor vehicle parking facilities, provided the benefit to be derived by the state is commensurate with its participation. The department may prescribe the terms and conditions of this parking, including the payment of parking fees in any amounts and under any circumstances as may be determined by the department. Varying rates of parking fees may be established for different localities or for different parking facilities. The department may charge different rates of parking fees based on the number of riders in each vehicle. In determining rates of parking fees the department shall consider the rates charged in the same locality by other public agencies and by private employers for employee parking.

The department shall certify to the Department of Finance the amount of funds available for reimbursement of transportation subsidies. The Department of Finance shall determine the amount that may be withdrawn by state agencies for payment of these subsidies. Requests from state agencies for reimbursement shall include appropriate verification of the state agency’s costs. Any unneeded balance in this appropriation shall be transferred by the Controller on order of the Director of General Services to the unappropriated balance of the General Fund.

The Legislature by this section does not intend to authorize the institution of a private parking program unrelated to state purposes in competition with private industry.

The right of any person to a prize shall not be assignable, except that the payment of any prize may be assigned, in whole or in part, as provided by Section 8880.326 and this section, under any of the following circumstances:

(a) An assignment executed by the prizewinner on a form approved by, and filed with, the commission during the prizewinner’s lifetime in accordance with regulations adopted by the commission, to a trust that by its terms is revocable, and that is established by the prizewinner for the benefit of the prizewinner as a beneficiary and governed by the laws of the state.

(b) An appropriate judicial order appointing a conservator or a guardian for the protection of the prizewinner, or for adjudicating rights to, or ownership of, the prize.

(c) An assignment, as collateral, to a person to secure a loan pursuant to Division 9 (commencing with Section 9101) of the Commercial Code. The assignment as collateral of the right to receive payment of a prize shall be subject to all of the following:

(1) All security agreements, rights of the prizewinner, and rights of the secured creditor shall be determined pursuant to the laws of the state.

(2) In the event of a default under the loan or security agreement, the secured creditor’s rights shall be limited to receiving the regular payments made by the lottery, based on the prizewinner’s right to receive a regular prize payment until the obligation has been paid in full or the prize has been paid in full, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding Division 9 (commencing with Section 9101) of the Commercial Code, the secured creditor shall not have the right to sell or assign the prizewinner’s rights to payments to itself or to any other person. This section shall not limit the secured creditor’s right to sell, assign, or transfer the obligation of the debtor and related security interest to a third party.

(3) The prizewinner and secured creditor may agree, and may jointly instruct the lottery, to directly deposit all prizewinning payments into an account maintained by the prizewinner at a federally insured financial institution located within the state. This account may be subject to the secured creditor’s lien. Upon receipt of these instructions, the lottery shall continue to deposit all payments due to the prizewinner into the account until the lottery receives notification from both the secured creditor and the prizewinner that the payments are to be made to an account maintained at another bank, or that the secured creditor releases or terminates the security interest in the prizewinner’s payments.

(4) (A) The prizewinner, pursuant to an order of the court obtained in compliance with subdivision (d), may direct the lottery to make the prize payments, in whole or in part, directly to the secured creditor. A direction to the lottery to make a prize payment to a secured creditor shall not, in itself, constitute an assignment of the prize payment to the secured creditor.

(B) For purposes of this paragraph and subdivision (d), “assignee” and “secured creditor” are synonymous, and “assignment” or “prize payment” means the payment that is directed to be paid to the secured creditor.

(5) For purposes of perfecting the security interest of the secured creditor, the right of the prizewinner to receive payments is deemed to be a contract right that is perfected by the filing of a financing statement with the office of the Secretary of State.

(6) A copy of the security agreement, an endorsed copy of the financing statement, and the joint instruction to deposit the prizewinner’s payments directly into an account, if any, at the financial institution shall be filed with the lottery. Notwithstanding the security interest granted a creditor, all lottery payments shall be made payable directly to the prizewinner, except as follows:

(A) Payments sent directly to the financial institution designated pursuant to paragraph (3).

(B) In the event of a default under the security agreement or obligation it secures, payments sent directly to the secured creditor pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction determining that the payments are to be made directly to the secured creditor.

(7) Upon the termination or release of the security interest, the secured creditor shall file an endorsed copy of the release or termination of the security interest with the lottery.

(d) Except as provided in subdivision (k), an assignment of future payments to another person designated pursuant to an appropriate judicial order of a California superior court or a federal court having jurisdiction over property located within California, if the court determines and states in its order all of the following:

(1) That the prizewinner was represented by independent legal counsel whose name and State Bar of California number appears as counsel of record on all pleadings filed in all court proceedings. The prizewinner’s legal counsel shall appear as counsel of record at any proceedings that are required by the court.

(2) That the prizewinner has represented to the court, either by sworn testimony if a personal appearance is required by the court, or by written declaration filed with the court under penalty of perjury, and that the court has determined these representations to be true and correct, that the prizewinner (A) has reviewed and understands the terms and effects of the assignment, (B) understands that the prizewinner will not receive the prize payments, or portions thereof, for the years assigned, (C) has entered into the agreement of their own free will without undue influence or duress and not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, (D) has had an opportunity to retain independent financial and tax advice, and (E) has been represented by independent legal counsel, who has advised the prizewinner of their legal rights and obligations under the assignment.

(3) It shall be the responsibility of the prizewinner to bring to the attention of the court, either by sworn testimony or by written declaration submitted under penalty of perjury, the existence or nonexistence of a current spouse. If married, the prizewinner shall identify their spouse and submit to the court a signed and notarized statement wherein the spouse consents to the assignment. If the prizewinner is married, and the notarized statement is not presented to the court, the court shall determine, to the extent necessary and as appropriate under applicable law, the ability of the prizewinner to make the proposed assignment without the spouse’s consent.

(4) The specific prize payment or payments assigned, or any portion thereof, including the dates and amounts of the payments to be assigned, the years in which each payment is to begin and end, the gross amount of the annual payments assigned before taxes, the prizewinner’s name as it appears on the lottery claim form, the full legal name of the assignor if different than the prizewinner’s name as it appears on the lottery claim form, the assignor’s social security or tax identification number, the assignee’s full legal name and social security or tax identification number, and, if applicable, the citizenship or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services-assigned number of the assignee if a natural person.

(5) Expressly identifies the amount, the date if available, any nonspouse coowner, claimant, or lienholder, and the interests, liens, security interests, assignments, or offsets asserted by the state or other persons against any of the prize payments, including, but not limited to, those payments that are the subject of the proposed assignment as those interests, liens, security interests, assignments, or offsets have been represented to the court by the prizewinner in a written declaration signed under penalty of perjury and filed with the court.

(6) That the lottery and the State of California are not parties to the proceeding, and that the lottery and the state may rely upon the order in disbursing the prize payments that are the subject of the order. Further, that upon payment of prize moneys pursuant to an order of the court, the lottery, the director, the commission, and the employees of the lottery and the state shall be discharged of all liability for the prize paid, and these persons and entities shall have no duty or obligation to any person asserting another interest in, or right to receive, the prize payment.

(7) That the prizewinner or the proposed assignee has obtained and filed with the court a notification from the lottery of any liens, levies, or claims, and from the Controller’s office of any offsets, asserted as of that time against the prizewinner, as reflected in their respective official records as of the time of the notification. The date of the notification shall not be more than 20 days prior to the court hearing, unless extended by the court.

(e) The assignment of the right to receive any prize payment or payments by the prizewinner pursuant to subdivision (d) shall be conditioned on the following terms, conditions, and rights, which may not be waived or modified by the prizewinner:

(1) The payment of moneys to, or on behalf of, the prizewinner by the assignee, in consideration for the assignment of the prize payment or payments, shall be made in full prior to the time when, under the terms of the assignment, the lottery is required to make the first prize payment to the assignee, or may be made in two installments, the first being paid prior to the time when, under the terms of the assignment, the lottery is required to make the first prize payment to the assignee and the second installment within 11 months thereafter. The second installment shall not be in an amount that exceeds the first installment. Notwithstanding this paragraph, any other installment payment schedule is permitted if the installment obligation relating to the installments is guaranteed by a financial institution, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 4981 of the Financial Code, or a brokerage firm that is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), as required by the federal Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 78aaa et seq.).

(2) If the prizewinner elects to accept the consideration to be paid for the assignment in two installments as provided in paragraph (1), the prizewinner shall have a special lien for the balance of any payment due, effective without any further action, agreement, or notice, on any of the prize payments assigned by the prizewinner for the payment of moneys from the assignee. This lien shall terminate upon the prizewinner receiving actual payment of the moneys. The tendering of a check, payment instrument, or recital of payment shall not constitute actual payment of moneys for the purposes of this paragraph. Notwithstanding this paragraph, if a prizewinner accepts an installment obligation guaranteed by a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or SIPC insured entity, then the lien created by this section shall automatically terminate upon delivery of the installment obligation.

(3) The Legislature finds and declares that the creation of a statutory lien in favor of a prizewinner is necessary to protect the rights of the prizewinner from any creditors, subsequent bankruptcy trustees of the assignee, or from any subsequent assignees when the prizewinner has not received full payment for the assigned prize payments.

(f) Prior to the assignment of any prize as provided in subdivisions (c) and (d), the Controller shall determine whether the prizewinner owes any obligation that is subject to offset under Article 2 (commencing with Section 12410) of Chapter 5 of Part 2 of Division 3, and shall provide written notification of that determination to the lottery and to the Secretary of State.

(B) The issuance by a court of competent jurisdiction of a published decision holding that, based upon the right of assignment provided in subdivision (d), a California lottery prizewinner who does not assign any prize payments pursuant to subdivision (d) would be subject to an immediate income tax liability for the value of the entire prize rather than annual income tax liability for each installment when paid.

(2) Upon receipt of a letter or ruling from the IRS or a published decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, as specified in paragraph (1), the director shall immediately file a copy of that letter, ruling, or published decision with the Secretary of State.

Findings and declaration.

The people find and declare:

(a) All citizens of the State are entitled to full and effective representation by their elected representatives.

(b) In recent years spending for the support of the Legislature has increased at a rate greatly exceeding the growth in spending for most other state functions, severely damaging the image and credibility of the Legislature with the people of California.

(c) In the absence of reasonable oversight and constraints, powerful individual lawmakers exercise virtually exclusive control over legislative spending, depriving the people of California and other lawmakers of an effective means of discovering how these monies are being spent or of judging the propriety of those expenditures.

(d) The distribution of funding, staff, and informational resources in the Legislature according to predominantly partisan criteria has greatly hindered the ability of minority party representatives to provide effective legislative representation.

(e) The concentration of power in the office of Speaker of the Assembly and, to a lesser extent, in the office of President pro Tempore of the Senate, has created a system of patronage and punishment through which a single legislator, accountable only to the people of a single legislative district, is able to wield greatly disproportionate influence over the laws of California.

(f) The growth in abusive voting practices in the Legislature and its committees has worked to deprive the people of their right to monitor the performance of their legislative representatives and respond accordingly.

(g) The Legislature’s refusal to adhere to statutory and traditional notice and publication requirements for committee hearings and reports of conference committees has deprived the public of its right to make effective input into the legislative process.

Conversely, an employer’s compliance with this section does not insulate the employer from liability for sexual harassment of any current or former employee or applicant.

(g) If an employer violates the requirements of this section, the department may seek an order requiring the employer to comply with these requirements.
