Fiscal Detail and Notes
This amendment deletes a General Fund appropriation of $1,000,000 in fiscal year 2005-06 to the Department of Defense, Veterans and Emergency Management for the establishment of  the Homeland Security Relief Fund.  The department has existing Other Special Revenue Funds allocations to allow spending from the Disaster Relief Fund.  The revenue that will be collected for the fund will depend on the department's success in soliciting funds for this purpose; the amounts can not be determined at this time.  In addition, the amendment deletes the provision that, contingent on availability, would have transferred funds from the General Fund to the new fund at the end of each fiscal year until a total of $5,000,000 had been attained.
