SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - California lawmakers have sent Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger a budget-related bill that continues a spending cut for programs that assist the disabled.
The state Senate passed the legislation Monday after it was approved last week in the Assembly.
The bill continues a 3 percent reduction for provider reimbursements at the Department of Developmental Services. It will affect 21 regional centers that care for the developmentally disabled.
The move is expected to save $61 million in the fiscal year that begins July 1. That reduction represents just a fraction of California's $20 billion budget deficit.
Lawmakers have yet to finish voting on several other budget bills, including those that are designed to increase revenue.
