(a)

No funds appropriated in this item shall be encumbered unless every rule or regulation adopted and every all-county letter issued by the State Department of Social Services that adds to the costs of any program is approved by the Department of Finance as to the availability of funds before it becomes effective. In making the determination as to availability of funds to meet the expenditures of a rule, regulation, or all-county letter that would increase the costs of a program, the Department of Finance shall consider the amount of the proposed increase on an annualized basis, the effect the change would have on the expenditure limitations for the program set forth in this act, the extent to which the rule, regulation, or all-county letter constitutes a deviation from the premises under which the expenditure limitations were prepared, and any additional factors relating to the fiscal integrity of the program or the state’s fiscal situation.

(b)

Notwithstanding Sections 28.00 and 28.50, the availability of funds contained in this item for rules, regulations, or all-county letters that add to program costs funded from the General Fund in excess of $500,000 on an annual basis, including those that are the result of a federal regulation, but excluding those that are (a) specifically required as a result of the enactment of a federal or state law or (b) included in the appropriation made by this act, shall not be approved by the Department of Finance sooner than 30 days after notification in writing to the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations and the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, or sooner than such lesser time after notification as the chairperson of the joint committee, or his or her designee, may in each instance determine.

(b)

If the Department of Finance determines that the estimate of expenditures will exceed the expenditures authorized for this item, the department shall so report to the Legislature. At the time the report is made, the amount of the appropriation made in this item shall be increased by the amount of the excess unless and until otherwise provided by law.

Nonfederal funds appropriated in this item which have been budgeted to meet the state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families maintenance-of-effort requirement established pursuant to the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) may not be expended in any way that would cause their disqualification as a federally allowable maintenance-of-effort expenditure.

6.

Upon recommendation of the Director of Social Services, the Department of Finance may authorize the transfer of funds from this item and Item 5180-101-0890, to Items 5180-001-0001 and 5180-001-0890, for this purpose.

7.

Pursuant to the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Act (Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 10065) of Part 1 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code) and in accordance with the EBT System regulations (Manual of Policies and Procedures Section 16-401.15), in the event a county fails to reimburse the EBT contractor for settlement of EBT transactions made against the county’s cash assistance programs, the state is required to pay the contractor.

9800-001-0001--For Augmentation for Employee Compensation

271,039,000

Provisions:

1.

The amount appropriated in this item shall not be construed to control or influence collective bargaining between the state employer and employee representatives.

2.

The funds appropriated in this item are for compensation increases and increases in benefits related thereto of employees whose compensation, or portion thereof, is chargeable to the General Fund, to be allocated by budget executive order by the Director of Finance to the several state offices, departments, boards, bureaus, commissions, and other state agencies, in augmentation of their respective appropriations or allocations, in accordance with approved memoranda of understanding or, for employees excluded from collective bargaining, in accordance with salary and benefit schedules established by the Department of Human Resources.

3.

It is the intent of the Legislature that all proposed augmentations for increased employee compensation costs, including, but not limited to, base salary increases, pay increases to bring one group of employees into a pay equity position with another group of public employees, and recruitment and retention differentials, be budgeted and considered on a comprehensive, statewide basis. Therefore, the Legislature declares its intent to reject any proposed augmentations that are not included in Items 9800-001-0001, 9800-001-0494, and 9800-001-0988, given that these are the items where the funds to implement comprehensive statewide compensation policies, including those adopted pursuant to collective bargaining, are considered. This provision shall not apply to augmentations for increased employee compensation costs resulting from mandatory judicial orders to raise pay for any group of employees or augmentations for increased compensation costs, or approvals for departments to provide increased employee compensation levels, that are included in bills separate from the budget act.

4.

This item contains funds estimated to be necessary to implement side letters, appendices, or other addenda to a memorandum of understanding (collectively referred to as “pending agreements”) that have been determined by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee to require legislative approval prior to their implementation, but which may not have been approved in separate legislation as of the date of the passage of this act. In the event that the Legislature does not approve separate legislation to authorize implementation of any of the pending agreements, the Director of Finance shall not allocate any funds related to those pending agreements pursuant to Provision 2, and the expenditure of funds for those pending agreements shall not be deemed to have been approved by the Legislature.

5.

As of July 31, 2015, the unencumbered balances of the above appropriation shall revert to the General Fund.

6.

The Director of Finance may adjust this item of appropriation to reflect the health benefit premium rates approved by the Board of Administration of the California Public Employees’ Retirement System for the 2015 calendar year. Within 30 days of making any adjustment pursuant to this provision, the Director of Finance shall report the adjustment in writing to the Chairperson of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairpersons of the committees in each house of the Legislature that consider appropriations.

7.

By inclusion of this provision, for purposes of Sections 3517.5 and 3517.63 of the Government Code, the Legislature hereby ratifies the following agreements that require the expenditure of funds: (1) addendum concerning Aviation Consultants, dated November 22, 2013, to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with State Bargaining Unit 1 (Service Employees International Union); (2) addendum concerning Recreational Therapists, dated March 4, 2014, to the MOU with State Bargaining Unit 19 (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees); (3) the MOU dated May 5, 2014, with State Bargaining Unit 13 (International Union of Operating Engineers), including continuous appropriation of economic terms in the event that a budget act is not in place prior to July 1, 2016, such appropriation will be subsumed by the expenditure authority approved in the budget act for each affected department upon enactment of each applicable Budget Act; (4) addendum concerning Correctional Officers, dated May 9, 2014, to the MOU with State Bargaining Unit 6 (California Correctional Peace Officers Association); and (5) the MOU dated May 21, 2014, with State Bargaining Unit 10 (California Association of Professional Scientists), including continuous appropriation of economic terms in the event that a budget act is not in place prior to June 30, 2016, such appropriation will be subsumed by the expenditure authority approved in the budget act for each affected department upon enactment of each applicable budget act. The estimated costs to implement these agreements are included in this item or in departmental appropriations.
