This bill includes General Fund appropriations to a new Citizen Trade Policy Commission program in the Legislature 
and offsetting deappropriations from the Legislature program to implement a segregation of the commission's funding 
into a separate account. The Legislature's proposed budget includes annual General Fund appropriations of $26, 120 
for the commission that are being transferred to the new program. In addition, funding for a biennial assessment of 
$10,000 is also being transferred in fiscal year 2013-14. These amounts may need to be adjusted based on final 
decisions on the 2014-2015 biennial budget.
