(a) Notwithstanding and in addition to any other provision of law permitting withdrawal of moneys from the General Fund for deposit into a special fund for the purpose of carrying out a program or project with repayment to the General Fund to come from the proceeds of the later sale of state bonds or notes, the Pooled Money Investment Board may instead make a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account directly to any such special fund, on such terms and conditions as the board may determine, upon request made to the board by an appropriate official. Any official authorized by law to seek, authorize, or approve a withdrawal of moneys from the General Fund for these purposes may in the alternative request a loan from the board as provided in this section and execute such documents as are required by the board to obtain and repay the loan. Interest on the loan shall be determined as provided in Section 16314.

(b) The Pooled Money Investment Board may also make a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account to any special fund for the purpose of carrying out a program or project that is authorized to be financed by issuing bonds, notes, or other evidence of indebtedness, where the special fund does not qualify under subdivision (a). Any loan shall be subject to those terms and conditions as the board shall determine and interest shall be determined as provided in Section 16314.

Any state agency or other entity of state government that has authority to issue bonds may request a loan from the Pooled Money Investment Account and execute such documents as are required by the board to obtain and repay the loan.

(c) When a loan is made pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) to a special fund to carry out a state general obligation bond program, other than a program adopted pursuant to an initiative statute prior to August 22, 1988, or Chapter 27, 30, 48, or 49 of the Statutes of 1988, the special fund shall pay the loan interest out of the proceeds derived from bond sales. For non-self-liquidating programs adopted pursuant to an initiative statute prior to August 22, 1988, or Chapter 27, 30, 48, or 49 of the Statutes of 1988, the General Fund shall pay the loan interest.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 13340, amounts required to pay interest on loans made to non-self-liquidating general obligation bond programs are hereby continuously appropriated from the General Fund.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares that these appropriations for interest payments regarding general obligation bond programs are appropriations for debt service as defined in Section 8 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and therefore are exempt from the appropriations limit set by that article.

This authority shall not apply to loans from the Pooled Money Investment Account.

(f) The Director of Finance may extend the loan repayment date of loans of state funds as defined in subdivisions (c) and (d). At the time any such loan repayment date is extended, the loan shall be considered to be a new loan for the purposes of establishing the annual rate of interest under the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) for the period the loan is extended. The interest rate established on the actual date of withdrawal or transfer of the loan funds shall not be altered by such an extension.

(a) (1) The Voluntary Investment Program Fund is hereby created within the State Treasury, for the receipt of voluntary deposits from local entities.

(2) For purposes of this section, a “local entity” includes, but is not limited to, any city, county, school district, or special district.

(b) Each local entity that is approved by its governance body to deposit moneys in the fund shall deposit no less than a total of two hundred million dollars ($200,000,000). The total amount of moneys that may be deposited in the fund from all eligible sources shall not exceed, at any point in time, a total of ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000), or lesser amount as determined by the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer.

(c) The terms and conditions of deposits made into the fund shall be set by the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer. Those terms shall include, but not be limited to, the size of the deposit from a particular local entity, the length of time those moneys shall be held in deposit in the fund, the availability of funds for withdrawal by the local entity depositing the funds, and the annual rate of interest paid on deposits, as described in subdivision (e). However, the director and the Treasurer may only permit deposits that do not exceed funds needed to address an actual or anticipated cash shortfall in the General Fund not exceeding the amounts of existing appropriations, including continuing and continuous appropriations, to which resulting proceeds are to be applied.

(d) Moneys held in the Fund shall be invested by the Treasurer in investments authorized pursuant to Sections 16430 and 16480 through the Pooled Money Investment Account, and whenever the Controller determines that moneys in the General Fund, after allowing for internal borrowing from other funds are, or are expected to be, insufficient for the payment of all appropriations made by the Legislature which are to be paid out of the moneys in the General Fund, the State Controller may, based upon his or her estimate of the probable income to the General Fund during the then fiscal year and the probable dates of receipt thereof, may draw a demand or demands against appropriations made from the General Fund to be paid in the then current fiscal year prior to the receipt of the income, and deliver the demand or demands to the Treasurer. The Treasurer shall register the demand or demands for nonpayment and may borrow moneys from the fund in an amount or amounts that is no greater than the demand or demands provided. The borrowing, together with the interest owed upon the account thereon, shall be paid exclusively from moneys in the General Fund on probable or reasonably anticipated revenues that are expected to be forthcoming within a short period of time, but not excepting recourse to internal borrowing from other funds in the event insufficient moneys are available from the General Fund. Repayment of any of those borrowings shall be considered a priority payment, equivalent to any other loan repayment made from the General Fund to another state fund.

(e) Notwithstanding any other law, the rate of interest to be earned by the depositors shall be the base apportionment rate based on their pro rata share of the earnings of the Pooled Money Investment Account on a quarterly basis at the end of each quarter plus an enhanced amount. The pro rata share shall be determined by a dollar day participation. The base apportionment rate applied to dollar day participation in the fund shall be the quarter-to-date average yield of the Pooled Money Investment Account for the current quarter. The enhancement amount paid to depositors in the fund shall be determined by the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer, and shall be added to the base rate earned by the Pooled Money Investment Account at the time the apportionment is made. The total interest cost described in this subdivision shall not exceed that provided for in paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 16731.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 13340, moneys in the fund are hereby continuously appropriated for payment of interest expenditures to depositors calculated in accordance with subdivision (e), other related expenses as determined by the Department of Finance, and return of deposits to depositors according to terms and conditions set by the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer. The amounts paid for interest and other related expenses shall be attributable to the fiscal year in which the borrowing occurred which is also the fiscal year upon which the appropriations against which the demand or demands were made.

(g) The Department of Finance shall determine the budget items to be used for the recording and reporting of interest expenditures and other related expenses pursuant to this section.

(h) Deposits in the fund shall be tracked separately for each participant in the state’s accounting system, and shall be deemed to be assets of each participant. These assets shall be reflected as such on each participant’s individual financial statements.

(i) These deposits are, and may only be used, to cover short-term cash needs of the state and are, and shall be, in compliance with the provisions of Proposition 58 of March 2004 as stated in subdivision (c), Section 1.3 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. Deposits and borrowing from the fund shall comply with the state’s debt limit restrictions.

(j) Actions by the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer, in implementing and administering the investment program provided for in this section and the Treasurer’s and Controller’s actions in borrowing from the fund shall be exempt from the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3).

(k) Upon projection of insufficient cash in the General Fund, the Director of Finance, in consultation with the Treasurer and Controller, may utilize provisions similar to Section 16381 to facilitate the implementation of the program.

Unless otherwise provided, all existing appropriations to the extent encumbered and also those which had been made for particular projects from the abolished fund shall continue to be available for the same purposes and periods from the successor fund. Where no successor fund is specified in the act providing for abolition, the General Fund shall be deemed to be the successor fund for purposes of this section.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

(a) The federal government is proposing significant and fundamental changes in the structure and funding of social services by eliminating or greatly reducing many categorical grants and consolidating them into block grants to be administered by the state.

(b) There has been little public debate or discussion on the proposed funding cuts which will result in significant cuts in programs which currently provide jobs, income, food, and medical care to poor people.

(c) There currently exist no state statutes, consistent with federal statutes, for establishing need or directing the allocation of resources to categories of client populations to be affected by block grant efforts, and the state must act to so provide immediately.

(d) The uncertainty surrounding the substance of the block grant proposals and the proximity of the 1981–82 federal fiscal year does not allow the state the time necessary to develop fair and effective service alternatives without serious disruptions of vital services currently being offered to our needy residents.

(e) In order to serve the unique needs of California’s poor people, the state should continue, for the current year, to offer the services presently provided under federal categorical program grants.

(f) The Legislature must thoroughly review the use of federal funds affecting special population “categorical” groups in the State of California because of its commitment to maintain the efficient delivery of vital services to the most needy persons in the state.

(g) It is the intent of the Legislature that any provision of this article which is inconsistent with federal law shall not be operative.

text:
For the 1981–82 state fiscal year, block grants which the state chooses to accept and administer shall be disbursed in grant form and shall be governed by the provisions of this section. The provisions of this section, however, shall apply only to the amount retained in the block and not to the amount transferred into another block, as permitted by federal law. The Governor may transfer funds between block grants only in an amount authorized by the Legislature.

(a) The Legislature, in cooperation with the appropriate state departments and service providers, shall undertake a study to evaluate the current levels of administrative costs incurred under the Title XX block grant and designate methods for determining and establishing acceptable ceilings for those costs.

(b) For the Low-Income Energy Assistance Block Grant, the amount spent during the 1981–82 state fiscal year by the state and by service providers for program administration of all federal categorical and block grant programs shall not exceed the percentage levels of administrative costs incurred in the 1980–81 fiscal year which were approved by the Legislature and reflected in each service provider grant in effect on July 1, 1981. In no event shall these administrative costs exceed 5 percent.

(c) The state shall maintain its level of funding for categorical programs consolidated into federal block grants.

article: 1.7. Federal Block Grant Funds


text:
(a) The funds shall be used to serve the populations defined in the federal statutes and regulations which governed the federal categorical programs as of January 30, 1981, and which are consolidated into the block grants.

(b) Federal funds shall be received by the Controller and held in a separate account of the federal trust fund in accordance with state law governing the administration of federal funds.

(c) The funds shall be disbursed to 1980–81 fiscal year grantees of categorical grant programs consolidated into the federal block grants in an amount which reflects the overall change in federal categorical funds which were available in the 1980–81 federal fiscal year.

article: 1.7. Federal Block Grant Funds


text:
Since federal block grant funds were reduced by an average of 26 percent during the 1981–82 fiscal year and are proposed for further reductions during the 1982–83 fiscal year, the Legislature declares that the state’s administrative costs and processes must be reduced in order to ensure that maximum funds are available to continue essential direct human services.

Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of law, all of the following state procedures shall be implemented within 60 days after the effective date of this section:

(a) All state agencies, offices, or departments administering federal block grant funds shall have the authority, subject to the approval of the Department of Finance, to grant advance payments of federal funds to contractors or local governmental agencies in any amounts as the administering state department deems necessary for startup or continued provision of services or program operation.

(b) Departmental service contracts utilizing federal block grant funds shall be exempt from approval by the Department of Finance and the State Department of General Services prior to their execution. Instead, the proper state fiscal controls over federal block grant funds shall be insured by all of the following provisions:

(1) State departments that award block grant funds to local agencies shall permit, as appropriate, to the extent that federal funds are available for this purpose, local agencies to provide for federally mandated financial and compliance audits of block grant awards in accordance with the federal audit provisions and standards promulgated by the Comptroller General of the United States, and consistent with the department’s approved audit plan.

(2) The Department of Finance, in consultation with the Controller, shall establish fiscal reporting requirements for the departments to use on a quarterly basis with all providers.

(3) In the event a contractor has not engaged in a contract for these program purposes before with the state, state administering departments shall have the authority to conduct a preaudit or fund a preaudit by the Controller in order to certify the ability of the contractor to administer the funds.

(4) The State Auditor shall provide audit findings regarding each block grant to the Legislature no later than May 1 of each year.

(c) Each administering state department shall develop standard definitions for units of service, costs per unit of service, citizen participation processes, and due process notification for clients in relation to diminishing federal funds within 60 days after the effective date of this section and shall incorporate all of these elements into each agreement or contract.

(d) To the extent possible, compliance with this section shall be consistent with federal policies and procedures. Reports required under this section shall be combined, where practical, with any other similar reports required by the Legislature and by the federal government.

article: 1.7. Federal Block Grant Funds


text:
For those programs for which the state does not assume full administrative responsibility under the block grant consolidations reflected in the federal Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, but for which state agencies have continued administrative and funding responsibility, as reflected in the Budget Act of 1981, the following criteria shall be used in allocating any reduced levels of federal funds:

(a) The funds shall be utilized for the same purposes as discontinued federal grants.

(b) The funds shall serve the special populations which meet the criteria of need required by federal categorical grant legislation and regulation.

(c) Funds shall be administered by those state agencies currently administering the funds.

(d) To the extent that federal funds are allocated to counties on the basis of county plan submissions to appropriate state agencies, the county plans shall be amended to reflect reduced federal funding. The county shall hold at least one public hearing regarding the proposed changes to the county plans affected. With respect to any plans which are required to be approved by the state, the amended plans shall be approved by the appropriate state agencies and shall comply with the criteria set forth in this section. The approval shall be conducted and completed within 30 days to prevent interruptions in services.

(e) The amount expended in the 1981–82 state fiscal year by the state and by service providers for program administration of all federal categorical and block grant programs shall not exceed the percentage levels of administrative costs approved by the Legislature for departments and providers as of July 1, 1981, and reflected in each service provider grant in effect on that date.

If a state department finds that compliance with the provisions of this section disproportionately burdens certain programs or categories of clients, the department may withhold up to 5 percent of the total amount awarded to the department for each such categorical grant in order to equalize service levels.

The Governor shall instruct state agencies to cooperate fully with the Legislature in complying with this article.

(b) All departments affected shall prepare a separate summary of programs, funding levels, contracting progress, and clients affected by funding reductions during the 1981–82 state fiscal year and separately identify the transition programs for which they would have any policy or administrative responsibilities no later than October 15, 1981. The summary of the 1981–82 state fiscal year funding reductions shall be submitted to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and to the fiscal committee of each house.

(c) The Governor shall submit all relevant information, including, but not limited to, program identification, estimates of the types, levels, and distribution of clients affected, and estimates of federal funding levels as part of the proposed budget for the 1982–83 state fiscal year, and shall separately highlight and summarize this information in the proposed budget, incorporating any policy recommendations for the review of the Legislature.

The formation of service regions beyond those that were in place in 1995, or those that were in place in Los Angeles County in January 1997, shall occur only with the concurrence of service providers within the proposed regions. The department shall allocate funds received as follows:

(a) For federal fiscal year 1998, up to 7.3 percent of the state’s total federal allocation for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be retained by the Department of Community Services and Development for purposes of overall planning and administration. The department shall spend at least 2.3 percent of this 7.3 percent on activities to improve the administrative efficiency of the program. At least 2.7 percent of the state’s total federal allocation of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be allocated to local service providers for purposes of planning and administration.

For federal fiscal year 1999, up to 6 percent of the state’s total federal allocation of the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be retained by the Department of Community Services and Development for purposes of overall planning and administration. The department shall spend at least 1 percent of this 6 percent on activities to improve the administrative efficiency of the program. At least 4 percent of the state’s total federal allocation for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be allocated to local service providers for purposes of planning and administration.

Beginning in federal fiscal year 2000, up to 5 percent of the state’s total federal allocation for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be retained by the Department of Community Services and Development for purposes of overall planning and administration. At least 5 percent of the state’s total federal allocation for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program shall be allocated to local service providers for purposes of planning and administration.

Upon achievement of administrative efficiencies, or no later than June 30, 2001, the department and the local service providers committee established pursuant to subdivision (j) shall examine the appropriate split of administrative funding between the state and local services providers necessary to achieve the intent of federal law regarding the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program. The department shall not retain more than 5 percent of the state’s total federal allocation for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

(b) Services under this section shall be available to households in which one or more individuals are receiving:

(1) Temporary Assistance for Needy Families under the state’s plan approved under Public Law 104-193, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11200) of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

(2) Supplemental Security Income payments under Title XVI of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1381 et seq.) and Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 12000) of Part 3 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

(6) Households with incomes that do not exceed the greater of:

(A) An amount equal to 150 percent of the poverty level for this state.

(B) An amount equal to 60 percent of the state median income, except that no household may be excluded from eligibility solely on the basis of household income if that income is less than 110 percent of the poverty level for this state, but priority may be given to those households with the highest home energy costs or needs in relation to household income.

(c) An amount of not less than 15 percent and up to the maximum allowed by federal law of the total federal allocation shall be allocated for weatherization services for eligible individuals. For each program year, to the extent that the state is eligible, the Department of Community Services and Development shall apply to the appropriate federal agencies for any waivers that may be necessary to ensure that the amount available for the purposes of this subdivision will be the maximum amount allowable under federal law. For the purposes of this subdivision, weatherization shall include all energy conservation measures and energy efficient appliances that are cost effective and improve energy efficiency. The department shall allocate 5 percent of the weatherization program allocation to local service providers for outreach and related activities.

(d) At the discretion of local service providers, the state shall allocate the maximum amount allowable under federal law to local service providers to provide services that encourage and enable households to reduce their home energy needs, thus reducing the need for energy assistance, including needs assessments, counseling, and assistance with energy vendors, in accordance with Section 2605(b)(16) of Public Law 97-35, as amended.

(e) Based on data from prior years, a reasonable amount of available funds, as determined jointly by the department and the local service providers, shall be reserved until March 15 of each program year for the Energy Crisis Intervention Program. Local service providers shall submit proposed funding levels with supporting data to the department in a timely manner for inclusion in the state plan. The department shall approve local funding requests that are determined to be in compliance with federal law. These funds shall only be used for emergency assistance to eligible individuals for programs specified in this subdivision, who give evidence of one or more of the following conditions:

(1) Proof of utility shutoff notice.

(2) Proof of energy termination.

(3) Insufficient funds to establish a new energy account.

(4) Insufficient funds to pay a delinquent utility bill.

(8) Insufficient funds to pay energy costs for a household where a household member’s medical condition requires use of life support or climate and temperature control systems.

(9) Other conditions that may be included in the state plan.

The energy crisis intervention program shall not include advocacy, community mobilization, or community planning. After March 15 of each program year, local administrative agencies shall have the option of continuing to offer energy crisis intervention services or of reallocating a portion of or all unspent energy crisis intervention funds into direct assistance payment services.

The department shall allocate 5 percent of the energy crisis intervention program allocation to the local service providers for outreach and related services.

The Department of Community Services and Development shall retain all funds associated with Energy Crisis Intervention Program payments for gas and electric utility service, and shall make payments for eligible households’ gas or electric service accounts directly to the utilities. The department may use alternative payment methods when direct payments to the utilities have not been arranged.

(f) The remainder of the total federal allocation shall be utilized for aid for home energy costs for direct assistance payments. The department shall retain all funds associated with Home Energy Assistance Program direct assistance payments for gas and electric utility service, and shall make payments for eligible households’ gas or electric service accounts directly to the utilities. The department may use alternative payment methods when direct payments to the utilities have not been arranged.

(g) The Department of Community Services and Development shall contract with local public or private nonprofit agencies, or both, to provide outreach, intake, and other activities to enroll eligible individuals in the program components prescribed by this section.

(h) The program components provided for in this section shall include activities to enroll households that have the highest home energy needs as determined by taking into account both the energy burden of these households, and the unique situation of these households that results from having members of vulnerable populations, including very young children, individuals with disabilities, and frail older individuals, as provided for by Section 2603(3) of Public Law 97-35, as amended, and to educate recipients about general energy conservation practices and about the availability of state and utility programs for free weatherization of low-income homes.

(i) The department shall allocate 5 percent of the direct assistance payment funds to the local service providers for outreach and related services in operating the direct home energy assistance payment program.

(j) The department shall establish a local service providers committee to act in an advisory capacity in the development of the annual Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program state plan. The membership of the committee shall include one voting representative chosen by each local service provider that has a Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program contract with the state and one representative of each interested utility company. Each local service provider may, at its option, assign its vote in writing to another entity, such as a provider association, to represent its interests.
