ANALYSIS : SB 524 (Cogdill, Chapter 716, Statutes of 2010) deferred a $5.5 million payment until June 30, 2015, from Fresno County to its Local Road Fund required to demonstrate the county's Maintenance-of-Effort (MOE). State law requires local governments to meet a MOE threshold to be eligible for state transportation funding. As approved by the Governor on June 20, 2014, Section 8 of SB 853 (Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, Chapter 27, Statutes CONTINUED AB 2731 Page 2 of 2014) delayed until January 30, 2020, Fresno County's required MOE payment as long as the county continues to provide medical services to indigent individuals and undocumented individuals consistent with the eligibility and benefit provisions in effect in the 2013-14 fiscal year. This bill amends SB 853 to clarify the action Fresno County must take in order to defer the 2010 MOE payment until 2020. Specifically, this bill requires Fresno County to expend no less than $5.5 million to provide specialty medical services in conjunction with federally qualified health clinics, or other federally funded clinics, to indigent individuals, including but not limited to, those individuals who are ineligible for full-scope Medi-Cal. If Fresno County spends the $5.5 million on healthcare services, it would then have until 2020 to repay the $5.5 million to its Local Road Fund.
