The deappropriations in Senate Amendment "A" require an emergency preamble to allow them to occur in fiscal year 
2005-06. The emergency language was inadvertently left off that amendment. Correcting that omission by adding the 
emergency preamble here will assure that the intended provisions of the bill as amended will occur. This amendment 
also increases the General Fund deappropriation from the Baxter Compensation Authority in fiscal year 2005-06 from 
$400,000 to $425,000.
