INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Silva

                        FEBRUARY 19, 2009

   An act to amend Section 17560 of the Government Code, relating to
state mandates.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 349, as introduced, Silva. State mandates.
   Under the California Constitution, whenever the Legislature or a
state agency mandates a new program or higher level of service on any
local government, including school districts, the state is required
to provide a subvention of funds to reimburse the local government,
with specified exceptions. Existing law establishes a procedure for
local governmental agencies to file claims for reimbursement of these
costs with the Commission on State Mandates or the Legislature.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 17560 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   17560.  Reimbursement for state-mandated costs may be claimed as
follows:
   (a) A local agency or school district may, by February 15
following the fiscal year in which costs are incurred, file an annual
reimbursement claim that details the costs actually incurred for
that fiscal year.
   (b)  In the event   If  revised claiming
instructions are issued by the Controller pursuant to subdivision
(c) of Section 17558 between November 15 and February 15, a local
agency or school district filing an annual reimbursement claim shall
have 120 days following the issuance date of the revised claiming
instructions to file a claim.
