Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill eliminates a General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human Services of $14,000 in fiscal year 2020-21 as these funds will no longer be required to fund the guardianship bond insurance. The guardianship bond insurance has increased in the last 3 years from $14,000 annually to $46,000 annually. However, no increase in the appropriation was ever given for this increase, so the deappropriation is based on the original funding level.
