This budget reflects statewide expenditures for all equity claims against the state approved for payment by the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board and all settlements and judgments against the state sponsored by the Attorney General's Office. Payment of these claims is provided to claimants through the passage of special legislation. Each year, two equity claims bills are proposed by the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board and one or two settlements and judgments bills are proposed by the Attorney General's Office.
