What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This joint resolution creates the Joint Committee on Economic Stimulus

Accountability (JCESA), consisting of five members from each house. Under the

joint resolution, the speaker of the assembly must appoint three members from the

assembly, the assembly minority leader must appoint two members from the

assembly, the senate majority leader must appoint three members from the senate,

and the senate minority leader must appoint two members from the senate.

The joint resolution provides that neither house may pass a bill to appropriate

funds received through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of

2009, or any similar or successor federal legislation signed into law before July 1,

2009, unless JCESA has held a public hearing on the bill and issued a report

containing all of the following information: a determination by JCESA that all

projects for which the funds are expended in the bill are an appropriate use of public

funds; the amount, if any, that the proposed expenditures contained in the bill will

increase the state's structural deficit; a determination by JCESA that proper

safeguards are contained in the bill to prevent any appropriated funds in the bill from

being paid to an individual who or entity that has outstanding obligations to the

state; and an estimate of the number of private sector jobs and public sector jobs that

will be created by the projects for which the funds are expended. Under the bill,

JCESA must hold the public hearing within seven days of the referral of the bill to

the committee and issue its report no later than seven days after the public hearing.

The joint resolution finally provides that JCESA is abolished on the 90th day

after all moneys received through the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment

Act of 2009, or any similar or successor federal legislation signed into law before July

1, 2009, have been appropriated by law.
