Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
Court and Lawsuit-Related Issues

The 2006-07 Budget includes an appropriation of $100 million along with language that allows these funds to be transferred to the CDCR Healthcare Budget item to fund the activities of the Receiver appointed by the court in Plata v. Schwarzenegger. Of this amount, approximately $50 million has been transferred to date, resulting in ongoing costs of approximately $55 million, which are included in the Governor's Budget. In addition to funding these costs, the Governor's Budget proposes to continue the transfer language and provide $150 million for new costs driven by the Receiver. This will allow the state to quickly respond to the fiscal needs of the Receiver. The Administration continues to work cooperatively with the Receiver to address correctional healthcare in the most efficient and comprehensive manner possible.

The Governor's Budget includes $109.1 million to continue state efforts to comply with the requirements of the Coleman v. Schwarzenegger lawsuit. Included in these funds are $13.2 million to retrofit intake cells within Administrative Segregation units and $50.6 million for salary increases for mental health professionals.

The Governor's Budget includes $78.7 million to continue the state's efforts to comply with the stipulated agreement in Perez v. Schwarzenegger. This includes $20.9 million to lower the ratio of dentists to inmate-patients to 1:515 (1:1,590 for Reception Centers) and $57.8 million for potential salary increases for dental services providers.
